5 stars for great value for price paid.
I have been a member at many gyms over the years. I find Smart Gym to be a great value for the price. They offer a variety of VERY clean, well maintained, up-to-date equipment.
There's a lot of cool technology add-ons for those who want to use it. The internet/web/TV/games stuff on the bicycles, treadmills, etc make it easy to plug you earphones into to distract you while you work out - just remember to bring the plug-in variety as your bluetooth ones won't work on these. I personally am not much of a TV watcher when exercising so I just shut off that feature and listen to my own music using my bluetooth earbuds.
During the 6 months I have been a member, they have added several more pieces of equipment and specialized stations. I can't recall a time that anything was out of service or unavailable. I tend to use the free & cable weight areas & rowing machine.
I find the staff to be pleasant and helpful. I personally did not feel hammered by the sales staff. I am contract skeptical in general and everything was clearly explained to me, questions answered, no games. And, coolness!- my personal membership choice allows me to bring a guest with me EACH time I visit, so one of my kids, friends or husband can come along anytime.
Terri, a personal trainer there, has been excellent at helping me w/ finding ways to improve fitness-wise while accommodating damaged & surgically repaired joints and the like. There are a variety of classes offered and the instructors are qualified and deliver.
Evaluate what you want to use at a gym- you will definitely pay more for a pool and other water features because those are expensive to maintain. No basketball courts or the like. If that's what you want, they don't have it here- that's part of what keeps down the costs.
BUT-- If you want a gym that offers a whole lot of equipment, a generous free weight area, the latest in cool new equipment and specialized classes, traditional classes, spotless locker room, changing areas & childcare you will get it here.
