| - When in search of a gym, do the qualities you look for include insanely crowded, questionably clean spaces with employees who visibly hate their jobs? Great! You're in luck.
Two stars might even be a little generous for this location. I dislike going here so much that it's affected my motivation to actually work out on a regular basis - which is why I bought a gym membership in the first place. Granted, that was back when the Pure Fitness on Alma School was still open, and I could actually stand that gym.
It's cheap, if that's all you care about. It's also bright and pretty big - but not big enough to handle how many people are packed in here at ANY given time. Before work? Check. Lunch time? Check. Hour before close? Yep. Easter Sunday? You bet. Good luck coming in at any time that isn't ungodly early in the morning and finding a machine you want without a wait. You're gonna have to do a lot of aimless wandering and less working out.
Also, whose amazing idea was it to put the group class room in the middle of the gym - which EVERYONE must walk by a million times - with glass walls so that all the creepers and meatheads can stare at you during your yoga session? Extremely uncomfortable, and though they offer a good amount of classes, this feature alone keeps me from attending them.
Once you find a machine, you'll be lucky if it works. The cardio machines here suck, plain and simple. They're old, inconsistent, frequently broken, and simply terrible at measuring anything. Don't rely on them for that, ever. It's annoying as hell when I can't get an accurate heart rate reading for two seconds. I certainly don't have this problem with the machines at Priest and Elliot.
So, customer service? Do they actually train their employees to do anything but look miserable and try to sell? I don't remember the last time I was greeted here when I walked in. I don't usually see the same receptionist for very long, and they often don't acknowledge my entrance. In general, it's nice to say hello to the person who is helping pay your check, but whatever. I'd hate working here, too.
As another reviewer said, people here never wipe down their machines. SO. GROSS. I want to vomit every time I see it. Some huge dude drenched in sweat will drip all over his treadmill and then WALK AWAY. Never will I touch a machine here without wiping it down BEFORE I use it, as well as after. This just goes to show the kind of people that come here, too. No one cares. At all. And no, that girl twirling her hair and texting while she sits on the hip abductor is not going anywhere. Shoot me now.
I could go on about this place for days, but I'll let you read the rest of the reviews for everything else that's wrong here. If you want a cheap gym and are able to get here at 5 AM, you'll be golden. If you're looking for a nice, convenient, friendly place to work out any other time of day, keep searching. This ain't it.
