I joined Fitworks despite the mixed reviews. I am really turned off by Planet Fitness's philosophy and lack of free weights, and didn't want to join the Y. So to Fitworks I came!
The equipment and facilities are a little rough around the edges, but they are moving to a new location and I expect everything to be up to snuff at that point. Some of the cardio equipment doesn't have TVs but it doesn't bother me, since I listen to music. I have NEVER had to wait for a machine here, so I really love that aspect of it. Even the peak times aren't incredibly crowded.
They offer spinning classes here, which I really like, and offer a variety of other classes like Yoga and TRX that I have yet to try. The locker rooms are okay, definitely need some fixing up but like I said, they are moving so that might not be a priority.
The membership is affordable and you do get a lot for what you pay for. The staff is helpful and I'm looking forward to seeing what the new facilities look like!
