| - A decent set up for an express gym. However, when I signed up I was told that the gym would soon have two spin bikes and two rowing machines. Well, one rowing machine is fine (though often taken so what's the point). The McFarland and Monona clubs have only one spin bike (McFarland has a second one that isn't the actual eSpinner and can't track any of your workout), while the one at Hilldale has two spin bikes and both of them are the nicer, newer version. The single spin bikes at both Monona and McFarland are older and not as good. So, when I signed up for the gym with the stated purpose that a spin bike was my main use in the gym, it is a little disenheartening to see the restuls aren't quite what was pitched to me. Additionally, the lack of any club downtown makes it a bit inconvenient for a morning commute if you work downtown.
Other than that, it's a great club if you work out in generally normal waking hours, have self-motivation to get to the gym, and don't need one of the machines of which there are only about one in each club (stair master, rowing, spinning, etc.). For the price, I am satisfied with my membership for the year, but cannot say whether or not I'd renew it.
