I was a little reluctant to join this place after reading so many of the negative reviews, but took a chance because it is within walking distance of my house. I've been going here for about 2 weeks now and don't see many of the problems that other users are complaining about. It is not dirty, doesn't smell bad, and the equipment isn't broken. No one has been rude to me, and I am able to go about my workout without any problems. What else do you need?
I'd give it 5 stars if they had better stations on the TVs instead of just E! and CNN.
