| - Ok so I joined this gym as soon as I moved to Las Vegas. Due to the huge costs of the moving, I couldn't justify paying too much for a gym membership upfront, so browsing around I decided to take a tour of the gym and the membership cost me 35/mo for a 2 year contract.
Now, no one put a gun to my head and forced me to sign up, but i'm upset that I did and decided to build my own gym at home instead. It's just not for everyone.
PROS:
Friendly Staff
Friendly Members (haven't seen any "bros" trying to act cool or famale instagram models going there to take selfies with the caption "hard work pays off" or some lame phrase)
VERY SPACIOUS
Tons of machines, free weight area is very large
Has its own track for sprinting or walking
Spacious locker room
Pool/Jacuzzi.
They have the little rowing machine Frank Underwood uses to work out, i thought that was pretty neat.
CONS:
****ALWAYS PACKED - When I took the tour it was at peak hour, so I assumed it was only packed for that time, I would never work out there at peak time, so first things first. If you plan on going there during the " regular gym hours" when the 9-5 crowd get out of work, you're screwed so from 5-10 its carnage.
I decided to start going at very off hours such as 2 AM-5AM. Even then it's pretty crowded, tolerable, but still got a good crowd, incredible! At 5 , the morning people that you hate start showing up with their joggers on and their cute little earbuds and a smile on their face ready to get the day started, that sight alone is enough to make you puke.
The fact that they only have a few squat racks for the size of the gym is upsetting, specially since more and more people are moving away from machines into free range weights. When someone finally frees up the squat rack and you start loading plates, here comes Bruce asking how many sets you got left. I haven't even started, Bruce... now I got a guy waiting on me and I have to hurry up, gotta listen to this terrible Soulja Boy track that is on my phone for some reason, and I can't skip it because Bruce got me under pressure.
Nobody rearranges the weights. Sometimes you have to go fishing for weights, they're everywhere and nowhere...
The locker room is big but I wish they would have a policy against male nudity. It boggles my mind why males over the age of 40 are so eager to show off their gravity punished dried up packages to other males. Why do they all walk around like it's a bloody nude resort? The gym provides towels for free, use them! I try to just look up but I still get peripheral vision ... (Not the gym's fault, but still needs mentioning)
The showers there are prison style, no dividers or anything, you'll feel like you're in OZ.
P.S: don't drop the soap!
OVERALL:
It's a good gym for the general populace that is willing to fend off the crowds. Maybe extroverted people that love being around other people will have more use for it. I just can't stand packed places, so I decided to build my own little gym at home. Unfortunately i will be paying it for another 2 years, but that's completely on me, I can't rate it higher because of my own personal reservations, it's not a bad gym at all if you're willing to put up with its flaws.
