It's been almost a month since we've been going here and I feel great. Our diets have been changing for the better over the past few months but now we are really making an effort to supplement the workouts with fresh food, whole grains, and no junk. Conveniently located less than a minute walk away is an AJ's fine foods that has a great salad bar and other snack options for pre or post work out fuel.\n\nThe set up inside Pulse seems small at first but you soon notice there is plenty of room. \nIn one area of the gym it's set up for cardio. Treadmills, ellipticals, a stairclimber, AMT's, and more. Most of the machines have TV's with buttons to change channel/volume and a headphone port under the middle. \nWeight training and resistance takes up the other space and has plenty of options as well. If you don't know what to start with or how, there are usually a few trainers on hand more than happy to explain and demonstrate. \n\nThe only reason it's not a 5 star for me is their A/C vents don't go through the whole gym it seems, more like a few spots here and there. Sometimes they will open up the front windows and let a breeze in but with summer almost here I'm sure that won't work during the day. Also they have two shower rooms (the whole floor is tile and might be too slippery when wet) and two bathrooms. No steam room, sauna, or lockers. There are cubby style shelves near the front to place bags or purses. I know gyms aren't required to have special amenities but there is nothing better than a few minutes in a steam room after a hard workout. \n\nA few extra points for their security measures. The gym is open 24 hours and they have surveillance inside with well placed cameras. For emergencies, buttons to contact the police instantly. If the main door isn't propped open when employees are working there is an electronic sensor near the door to hold up a member key that will unlock it.\n\nAll in all the convenient location near highway 101 and great equipment make Pulse worth the membership."^^ . .
