| - For 10+ years I was a member of Pure Fitness but had to find an alternative when it closed. That one must have spoiled me because, to me, this place - while not horrible - is far from great.
As someone below mentioned, it's over-sold. The equipment is in good condition but if you're into free weights, there simply isn't enough to handle the crowds you'll find any evening or on weekends.
The men's locker room is usually not clean, there's only one water fountain on the main floor, and the place usually stinks - a unique combination of BO, body spray (note to anyone under 20 - that crap is NOT meant to be a substitute for showering) and something I just can't put my finger on. Feet? Trash? You tell me. I don't expect a gym to smell like roses but would it kill them to plug a few air fresheners in? It also seems unnecessarily hot (even for a gym), as if management doesn't want to use the AC...but that's minor. It's a workout after all.
On the positive side it's affordable, it's close to where I live, and it has covered parking. I've never had staff try to sell me anything, and it also has basketball/racquetball courts, classes, daycare - all of which I do not use so if that's important to you...score.
Suffice it to say if they opened another gym anywhere in my area for the same or slightly higher rate I'd leave this place faster than you could say 'fitness'.
