| - I've only been a member of this gym for about a week, but so far, so good.
The pros:
1. They're very affordable - this location is only $16/month with a one year contract, and no initial activation fee. They gave me a month free, which was helpful, and I didn't feel a lot of pressure to 'sign up today'!
2. I can bring a guest with a local ID every single time I work out - and it takes about 30 seconds for a guest to sign in, unlike the 30 minute ordeal it has been at other gyms. They also don't pressure my guests to get memberships.
3. One free training session - which ended up only being about 20 minutes, which I was initially disappointed at -- but I was grateful that it was short the following 5 days when my body was aching. I can't speak for anyone else, but I appreciated my trainer, Russ, who didn't pressure me to sign up for more training sessions and said to feel free to ask him questions at any time. Good guy.
4. Cardio Cinema. It's just what it sounds like - a movie theater with cardio machines. Win. Yesterday they were playing Bridesmaids. Double win!
5. Brand new, shiny equipment. Love a new gym!
6. Open 24/7. For those random 2am workout cravings I get!
The cons:
1. No pool. Not a huge deal for me, and probably part of the way that they keep costs down. But still - be aware.
2. Sweaty beefy guys who drip all over everything and don't wipe up after themselves. Gross.
3. It's fairly small. There's ample equipment, but I could see this place getting overloaded and machines being hard to come by. Time will tell...
