I go here for two reasons: Zumba and parties.
My friends are happy regulars at the gym and love the Zumba & Pilates classes. Curious about what they were raving about, I purchased my first visit for $4 to check out the Zumba class. It is a fun blend of latin dance & aerobics.I get bored with typical exercise, but love dancing so it sounded like a great thing to try.
I enjoyed it so much, I bought a small package (10 visits to their health facilities for $30) to see if I would have the discipline to attend regularly. We'll see. :) What makes this place different is that it feels very low-pressure and family-oriented. It wasn't about big hulking guys and unusually buff broads strutting their stuff amongst walls of mirrors.
As for the event space, we've used it for wedding receptions, graduation parties and not-so-talented talent shows. You can bring your own food/catering which is always a plus in my book.
