| - To all those that say this gym is not for people who are "serious about working out": YOU must not be serious about working out. If you can't push yourself to run faster because someone next to you is going more slowly, I don't know what you're doing at the gym. While the gym is mostly comprised of treadmills and weight machines, there are plenty of squat racks and truly heavy weights to go around. I signed up for $1 last January, and have paid only $10 per month ever since. It is open 24/7, and is really only crowded during the beginning of the work week. You will never have to wait for a cardio machine, and there is plenty of room to stretch and do your own aerobic workout as well. There are over a dozen televisions, and every inch of the place is always incredibly spotless. I do wish they had kettle bells, but with everything else they offer (including several foam rollers and stretch machines), I would never complain. The only reason I gave four stars is that, if you truly are one of those individuals that lifts 500+ pounds per exercise, then you might not be able to find enough weights to rack on (unless the place is empty). By the way, I have heard the "lunk alarm" go off SEVERAL times when there is some dude in the gym grunting for no good reason and slamming his weights down for attention (even though he is only on a machine... not even a rack). As for the "old lady gym" comment, yes, there are people of all ages who go here. I have seen elderly people working out (Good for them! Motivation for sure!) and seriously young kids there with their parents, lifting more than their body weight (super impressive!). Also, although there is a bowl of tootsie rolls at the entrance, I personally have never taken one. Again, be accountable for yourself. I have also never purposely or even accidentally attended during the once per month pizza night or bagel morning. So unless you're just someone who loves to complain because your life is miserable, trust me, this gym is well worth the money.
