I started going to the gym since 2007 and the staff has always been helpful. It's a gym that has all the basic equipment for a good workout. I think alot of times people get caught up in the amenities such as a pool or basketball court, I know I did. However if your serious about working out then you will enjoy this gym. The prices are good, around $20 a month. Further, they have always helped me out on summer and winter breaks from school.
