| - Been a member coming up on two years. I've worked in the fitness and recreation field for coming up on 20 years.
The Good
* The gym has been around for years.
* Nice to support small business and not a chain gym which tends to not care so much.
* evening and weekend staff are friendly
* has plenty of equipment
* reasonable price
* staff are not pushy with selling personal training. It's there if you need it. (but not sure if it's just me as I told them I use to be a trainer and didn't need help)
* very rarely busy
* lots of cardio equipment, free weights and strength training equipment.
* most cardio machines are in good shape and never have to wait for it.
* 5 TV's where you can tune in on a FM radio while you do cardio
* free parking
* Weekday hours are good, I think they are 6am-11pm
* has a boxing ring if your into boxing (I think it's an extra fee though)
* has some yoga and fitness classes (never took them but they are in a nice room one level up, which doesn't allow people watching)
* most trainers look like they know what they are doing, but sometimes there professionalism is not at it's highest (e.g. chewing gum while working, just training clients but not teaching them to be self dependent) BUT - the clients seem pretty happy about the services
* most members are friendly, and people tend to be respectful with cleaning up after themselves and sharing equipment
* women don't seem intimated to use the free weight room
* good mix of older people and younger people.
* stand up tanning machine (if your into that)
* they have kids boxing classes
The not so good
* changeroom never has paper towel in dispenser, always sitting on counter and partly wet, and its questionable how clean the floors are.
* strength training equipment is a little cramped
* weekend hours close a little early at 6pm, wish they would stay open till 8 or 9pm
* daytime staff are not so friendly, not rude, but just not friendly unless your a friend of theirs
* free weights are older but still work great.
* music sometimes can vary, from dance music, to a mix, to all old rock. Depends who is working.
* only one location, so if you travel around the city out outside the city, your membership is not recognized.
* no snack bar and vending machines are just ok
* members are allowed to bring their dogs and stay in the front lobby. The odd one comes into the changeroom, which is kind of odd.
* the odd child also comes in the weight room and follows mom and dad around.
* staff don't monitor the free weight area, only the check in area
* if you need help you have to get a personal trainer as there is not floor staff to give general help
* no child minding service but it doesn't seem to need it
