| - I am a big fan of PF. For just $20 you get all the machines you could want, plus the tanning/massage beds/total body. And free personal training. You read that right, FREE. It's really a great deal compared to many other options in the area.
I started at the Monona PF and switched to this one primarily when I moved across town. The nice thing about the black card is I can visit any PF I choose. Very convenient. It's open 24/7 as well.
This location is fairly new, so most of the equipment is in perfect condition. The locker room area as well as showers are always super clean. The whole place, really, is kept tidy. As someone noted before, it can be stinky, but come on... It's a gym! People sweat, of course you're going to smell things you might rather not. That's typical of just about any gym, especially if you're there during peak times. I've gone in when it hasn't been super busy and it's smelled just fine.
The one and only thing I find frustrating about this gym, and the other PF as well, is the 30-minute workout area. This little section is one of my favorite spots. It's a timed, structured, self-lead workout that lasts 30 minutes. The issue is, people don't read the sign that tells them they are not to use the equipment unless actively following the routine, so they just sit in there and make it impossible for those of us who would like to actually do what it is intended for.
(OR, they do read the sign, and just BLATANTLY DISREGARD IT, as well as DISREGARD ANY AND ALL RESPECT for the people who want to use this area properly.) (As you can see it's hot issue for me, LOL...)
Anyway! I just wish the staff would keep a better eye on it, or design the gyms so that the space for this workout isn't wayyyy in the back or tucked off in a corner. It should be right up front by the check-in desk.
