| - Pros:
Location is great and very easy to access for Providence residents. The price is fair and there are no contracts. The staff are always very friendly. The gym has pretty much everything you need unless your routine is a bit off the wall or specific. (With that being said, would love a preacher curl bench.) It's open 24 hours and easy to access.
Cons:
The equipment could be kept in better shape. A bit of the equipment is worn and/or damaged. Multiple Olympic bars are bent and should be replaced. Some of the heart rate readers on the cardio equipment are hit or miss. A lot of the time the free weights (plates) are unorganized and all over the place. Granted, this would be easily solved by gym patrons simply putting weights back after they're done with them. Finally, things like the disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizers, soap dispensers, etc. are not refilled. It's now gotten to the point where the a bag of disinfecting wipes are just placed on top of the dispenser and left open, instead of putting them inside the dispenser. This leads them to getting dried out...
I really like this gym and want to continue going here. Hoping my honest feedback helps the gym to get even better. I think of a few of my complaints were addressed, it could take a step forward and be even better.
(Update: They got a preacher curl machine! Not sure it's because of my review (probably not) but I'm happy regardless! Still would like to see a couple other things addressed but, overall, I really like this gym.)
(Update #2: Bumping up to 4.5 even though it isn't an option. The gym recently replaced an olympic bar, which is great. It's great to see improvements being made. I still feel like the heart rate sensors in the elliptical don't work... Or, maybe, I just don't have a heart.)
