| - While this is my first real, non-corporate gym that I'm a member of, I have been in others and I have to say that there are some things that I'm a bit disappointed by. Overall, its a pretty good gym. Its super conveniently located for me, so I'll probably not be changing my membership anytime soon. Otherwise, I'd probably consider looking into Club One or the XX gym on Highland.
The good:
* Swimming pool. Its generally not too crowded
* Friendly staff
* Big open atmosphere. Temperature is usually perfect.
* Lots of cardio machine options
* A good amount of free weights - more than a lot of other gyms I've looked at.
* I quite liked my trainer, Tony (Anthony) S. I'd highly recommend working with him, if you decide to do strength training. He paid very close attention to form, my progress, and kept things interesting.
* After a pretty rough start, they've fixed a lot of issues with the bathroom showers and replaced the useless hair dryer.
* I find the clientele to be friendly, courteous, and non-judgmental. At times people may leave weights in disarray, but that's anywhere.
* Towel Service. This is critical since I usually shower and go back to work.
* Consistent billing. Signing up was easy, personal training billing was regular. Cancelling my PT plan (once out-of-contract) was also painless.
The bad:
* Training is a bit expensive. 25 minute sessions fly by really quickly.
* Should still fix the warped shower doors - some of which don't even close anymore.
* Its pretty dirty, though I have noticed more vacuuming lately, and feel less grime and dust bunnies on my hands when I'm doing floor workouts.
* Sanitizer dispensers are pretty few and far between.
* There's no water bottle filling station. The only option is the drinking fountain, which is quite slow and awkward to fill a bottle with.
* Gets way, WAY too crowded after 5pm. Luckily, I can generally avoid this time, but feel terrible for those who can't. Honestly, I wish they'd raise dues a bit.
* No assisted pull-up machine? Really? What the hell? It seems like such an obvious piece of equipment to have.
* While I appreciate a yoga class offering and liked the instructor, the room just isn't right for it. Its super loud between weights being thrown, grunting bodybuilders, and the basketball court on the adjacent wall. The temperature also isn't warm enough.
* Wish they offered adult swim stroke classes. Not survival swimming or geriatric water exercise classes, but actual Olympic-style swim team lessons.
