I've been a member for almost 2 years and I love this gym. The people are nice and it's not a huge gym so you don't feel overwhelmed by the size. They seem to be forever re-doing it and adding new classes and equipment.
There's a good mix of body builders as well as mainly just regular people in all shapes and size, so more welcoming than other gyms for newbies.
Since the flood, they really did a cleanup and it's brighter. It's easy to find a parking space, except at the busiest times, there's never a wait for any equipment. What else do you want? I don't use the showers but it's not like I go here to impress anyone but myself.
I tested 3 other gyms in the area before signing up for this one. What else do I have to say? I"m still going to Xcel. Try it, you'll like it. I mean, it's all about the exercise after all.
