I can't believe I haven't written a review of this place already.
I joined this gym on a whim because I needed a workout buddy and she works out here. Honestly, the main thing that attracted me to this place are the giant climbing walls you can see while driving down Charleston. Have I used them yet? No. But that's not the point...
I started training with a personal trainer from the beginning to use the free LT bucks ("money" you earn for joining, keeping your membership, etc). I would recommend her, but she's gone. :( She left Las Vegas to go back home. She did leave me in the hands of Dennis S. He's A-OK in my book, especially because he puts up with my whining and dirty looks during my training sessions. :P He was even brave enough to recommend a nutrition plan for me. (Say what?!). Even though I refuse to abide by it, I'm still training with him till this day. So what does that say?
Overall, this place is nice because it's clean, the facility is new, and even at it's busiest time there are machines available to use. The price is definitely a big con compared to other gyms in town, but I feel like that helps keep it semi-exclusive and not as crowded as it can be. The many amenities and the Life Cafe (which provides great fresh delicious food and smoothies) also help justify the price. But I feel like it definitely has a long way to go if it wants to compete with Equinox.
One bad thing: BEWARE of all the children/tweens/teenagers that are dropped off by their parents in the summer. The gym has attempted to take action by sending "reminder" emails to members, but there were a bunch of kids that loitered all over the gym during those school-free months.
I can't wait for the summer to come around again so I can use the outdoor pools.
