| - This gym is for the rest of us who aren't 18 - 28 years old with a 28 - 32 waist. I feel absolutely comfortable coming in, warming up and working out here. It's not like it's next-door neighbor where a bunch of meat-heads are grunting away and staring down every feminine, busty, skinny chick that walks by in the latest workout fashion. Don't get me wrong, there are youngin's here at XL too but they seem more focused on working out than what other people are doing. I'm not the most feminine flower in the bunch; it's nice to go work out and not get stared at like I've got a 3rd nipple on my forehead because I have short hair. Why the 4 stars? Well, in the women's locker room, there are small little changing areas behind the rows of each locker. A few could use new light bulbs and could definitely use a dusting. To be fair, I let someone know a few weeks ago and haven't been back to check it due to a Hockey injury. There are little things here and there in the women's locker room that would be fantastic for maintenance to take a screw driver to. It being a 24 hour gym... I see why they don't shut down the locker room. Plus, maintenance crew are males... but for real guys! Just do it - we may grumble but will thank you in the end.
Personal Training: Camie is AWESOME. I know there's a bunch of people out their who swear by their trainer but let me add that I'm a different kind of athlete. I play sled hockey. (Definitely YouTube what that is. Feel free to look up my channel - Cathie Zimmerman - to check it out.) As a "Disabled" athlete I need someone who is creative, engaging and as motivated as I am! Camie is that trainer! She's also a Ragnar, marathon and Disney princess runner/athlete. She's well versed in the competitive spirit, muscle balancing, and hard work. If you want to take your work out to the next level - get in with her. Rates are competitive but you get an experienced trainer who is able to motivate and guide a wide range of clientele.
Pool: This pool is consistently warmer than the LA Fitness pools. How do I know? I called a few random ones 3 times a week for a month. The temp was consistently lower than XL's pool. The extra warmth is soothing to me and is less likely to set off spasms. Let's also mention there is a spacious steam room, large sauna and two hot tubs (one salt and one chlorine). WIN!
Equipment: Older equipment but CLEAN and WELL SERVICED. I'll take that over shiny bright colored equipment any day.
Classes: Aqua classes I've done have had fantastic turn out! I've not tried the others... but my wife says she loves all of them. I like that there are many offered and varying times!
That's all I've got for now. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. If I remember, I'll update!
