| - Ah, the old bait-and-switch. After purchasing a membership here and reading all the advertisements about what classes they would offer vs. what classes they actually offer, there is a bit of deception going on here. For example, during opening month they advertised TRX, Crossfit, Aerial Yoga, Insanity, and a number of other branded/trademarked classes. A few of these classes are no longer offered as of the November group class schedule. They advertised a React trainer...no such thing. And whose bright idea was it to think that, if and when they DO have TRX, that hanging straps from a bar that is part of a barbell rack gives people room to move and actually perform TRX workouts? It doesn't work that way. I took the Tabata class and it was a joke. No motivation or energy whatsoever from the instructor.
Don't get me wrong...this place is very nice with brand new, nice equipment. But $15 for a guest pass? Who charges for guest passes anymore? Charge the damn hotel guests that price but not friends of members. Tacky.
I have a membership at the CSU Rec Center because my trainer is there. My trainer is outstanding, the classes are great (specifically the Tabata class and 158 will kick your ass hardcore), and they have a pool. All this for the bargain basement price of $40 per month. And the facility is awesome. Repeat, awesome.
Sorry, East Bank (or is it EB because of name infringement with East Bank in Chicago) but you haven't lived up to the hype in my opinion and I will be cancelling my membership. Major disappointment.
