I joined Smart Gym when it first opened and then later convinced my husband to join. We were coming over from Lifetime Fitness (all the bells and whistles and fees that go along with that!). We have both been so happy with Smart Gym and I can't imagine going back to Lifetime prices after the great gym experience we have both had at Smart Gym. The cleaning staff are exceptional. The front desk staff greet me as I walk in the door. The kids club is clean and staffed with people who really get down on the floor and play with the kids. The equipment is in great condition (probably because it is mostly new!) The classes are fun and engaging and a great value. Overall, we have been really happy with the Smart Gym. I would have no reservations recommending it to friends (and have!)
