| - This location certainly has the potential to be a decent enough gym, but there just doesn't seem to be a whole lot initiative to make it so by any of the employees.
PROS:
- It's cheap and seems fairly easy to end your contract. I say this without having ever ended my contract with them, so stay tuned. That may be my next review topic.
- As a newer gym, it's still in fairly decent shape. There's still the 3 or 4 malfunctioning treadmills lying around, but overall, not too bad.
- The classes are great and included with your membership, which was a big bonus, considering a lot of other gyms charge for classes. I've gone to a few and highly recommend a cycling class with Mckenzie - I don't think I've ever sweat so much in my life.
CONS:
- The front door "greeters" don't greet you. At all. They either scan your card or leave the little scanner out for you to do it yourself so they don't have to make eye contact with you.
- There are a total of four water fountains for this 5 billion sq. ft. facility.
- The sign "don't drop your weights" is either unread, ignored, or unable to be read by those tossing their 1,500-lb weights to the floor. For those who can read: watch your feet.
- Far too many annoying grunting noises (if you look/feel like you're having a heart attack, maybe you shouldn't be lifting quite so much?) and male adolescent conversations that involve a lot of "dudes" and expletive female body parts. Bring your iPod or endure the TMI, your choice.
- The pool is ALWAYS crowded with 2-3 people per lane, despite what your lying sales rep tells you. And if you can figure out when its hours are, then you just might be that lucky third person to the lane.
- The music consists of either newer slow songs or golden 70s and 80s elevator music. I'm trying to say it's lame. I hope that point comes across clearly.
