| - It's not a big gym, but if you're looking for something affordable, I would highly recommend it. This gym provides a good balance between equipment and amenities.
To illustrate what I mean... A lot of cost-conscious people tend to check out places like the local Planet Fitness, which also offers cheap memberships. Planet Fitness, however, provides only light weights, which makes it more difficult for men (and women!) to make efficient progress. They also provide a lot of inaccurate information ("Bench pressing is only for body builders," for example) and they even prohibit a lot of the exercises that would be most beneficial, even to beginners (bench pressing, deadlifting -- anything that might "intimidate" someone).
Soza, on the other hand, is the kind of environment where people can feel challenged without being intimidated. They welcome people of all fitness levels and they provide a good mix of equipment as well. Some of the machines aren't well suited for heavy lifters, but they do have a decent selection of free weights as well as other equipment -- battle ropes, a heavy bag, TRX rigs, and so forth. I would recommend them to anyone who's on a budget.
