| - I find it interesting how the reviews can vary so much for this gym! I think most people have the good/bad/other covered, but what the heck, I'll throw my 2 cents in.
I have been going to this LVAC for almost 2 years. Originally I joined this gym because you can't beat the class schedule. There are about 3958230958 classes a week, so if you can't make one, I am not sure what the heck your excuse is. My schedule has changed since I joined, so I no longer get to as many, or my favorite classes, but it is almost impossible to not be able to hit up a few. My favorites tend to be the Body classes (Pump, Combat, etc.) and Pilates.
The good/bad about classes:
Good: Overall Fun, taught by good/nice instructors (mostly, try a few different ones to find your fav instructor), most classes I have been to have a variety of people (sizes/experience levels, etc.) so it is easy to blend in. When you have accidentally walked in to a class you are nowhere good enough to be in, the instructors are still very nice and don't call you out on why the heck you are barely moving, lol, as long as you try :-)
Bad: Can be packed depending on time of day/popularity of class. Zumba is pretty impossible to move comfortably in, due to people thinking 4 inches from your butt is enough room for you to move, but I suck at it anyway, so I just don't go. People also tend to come last minute/10 minutes after class started and sometimes will decide to set up RIGHT next to you. Since I suffer from TBF (terminal b***h face), they tend to back off when I look at them, but it can be a problem sometimes.
The only other thing I do is run on the treadmills, and I have always been able to find one upstairs, no matter what time it is. There seem to be about 100. I have occasionally done the machines in the womens gym either early morning or weekends and they are never that busy either.
Other than that, the bathrooms are usually clean, there is almost always someone, or several someones, walking around cleaning, and the gym always looks good to me. You do have to park far away a lot of the time, but really, you are going to a gym, consider it your warm up! Front desk people can be nice or very not nice, but I don't really give a crap considering I am there to work out, not have a conversation...I guess that also goes for the general population of the gym, but really I do my own thing, and don't worry about what else is going on around me, so overall, I think it is pretty good as far as gyms go and I am happy with my membership.
