No idea why there are so many bad reviews. I belonged to this gym for a year when I lived out that way. I never had a problem with the staff or gym itself. Sure the machines are a little dated but 20 lbs weighs 20 lbs... I heard after I left they even became a key club which means 24 hours a day. I would personally rather go to a gym like this over big chain gyms such as LA or Golds. If you are looking for the newest equipment and sparkly rooms for gym selfies then probably avoid this gym, if you are looking to workout and not worried about any of that nonsense then this gym will do just fine.
