| - I am kicking myself for not joining this gym sooner! Yes, it gets crowded- come on, we're a major city packed with tons of amazing restaurants and world-renowned chefs, we love to eat but hate to look like it! Consider it a given anywhere you go.
But this gym chain is a great value- memberships from $23 to $31/month, with optional add-on benefits (included in the cost) for childcare, personal training, towel service, and other such perks. With 6 locations in town (and one more on the way) it isn't hard to find one that works for your schedule- though they do vary greatly. And they're open 24/7, which helps those in our city with unusual schedules!
As others have said, this one rocks a dated vibe that used to be reminiscent of the 80s- there is still some of that here. Cardio machines are not super-new and none have built-in TV screens, but all are working, there are several different varieties/brands, and they all face a bank of TV screens with plug-in audio.
I was bummed to hear that they don't have free WIFI available to stream video on my personal device- I run distance and like to have a distraction. I will say that the juice bar, crazy awesome gym schedule, sauna, and women's-only area are some of the things that helped balance out to a positive experience.
Gym schedule, as I said, is crazy awesome: morning, daytime, afternoon, and evening classes available. They only have two rooms for classes (pilates/yoga and cycle in one, cardio group classes in the other)- but they pack their schedule. Zumba, Sh'bam, Body Sculpt, Kickboxing, CXwork, Insanity, and Body Pump (my personal favorite!) are all available here at various times throughout the day and week, to meet your workout needs.
