I decided to give Independence another try because my boyfriend said that it had got much better since they've expanded the space. He was right. It's still nothing fancy, but it's better lit and doesn't make me claustrophobic. I've been scoping out the trainers over my last few visits and they seem pretty intense. They've got people doing football drills across the gym and throwing boxing bags around! I'm not sure I can handle any of that yet, but it looks like a good workout for sure!
