"I joined this gym about a week ago, and am already really disappointed. I have never seen such old and outdated equipment in a gym, especially one that claims to have been newly renovated. Lots of the machines' safety features are nonfunctioning, and are generally in rough shape. The machines are also really dirty, probably due to the fact that this gym has no wet wipes, but instead has members spray down paper towels and wipe machines with that instead. That really doesn't do much to clean the machines, so they are all really dusty and dirty. As others have mentioned, there aren't enough weights, and you constantly have to steal from other areas in the gym to be able to properly rack a set. That combined with the fact you have to pay for towels, this gym just reeks of cheap decisions. You can probably get what you need done here, but you'll constantly have to rework your sets to accommodate the lack of weights or functioning equipment."

"Good facility, but as one of the prior reviewers stated, there aren't enough machines and dumbbells to compensate for the crowd at peak hours. The frustrating part is that the staff does little to help. No one is monitoring the floor. So, people hog weights and machines, don't rerack weights, and you end up wasting time either looking for a set of 10 lb. dumbbells that could be anywhere on the floor (and are ultimately being hogged by the member with three sets of dumbbells around them) or waiting for a machine because the person on their phone that's just sitting on the machine waiting to do their next set doesn't understand the concept of allowing someone else to work in and wants you to wait for them to complete their full set of exercises even though they're giggling at a TikTok between sets. It can be a very frustrating experience. Oh, and there is only one piece of equipment on the entire floor for calves. So, good luck getting calves done as a part of leg day. 11/22 - got a response from someone at the gym to connect via email from which the respondent noted they’d be adding more light weights and another leg machine. Well… no progress today. I spend more time looking for dumbbells under 35lbs than getting sets done. They need to purchase a full rack of light weights. More people use the lower weight dumbbells. They need more. Even during light traffic hours it’s a challenge. We pay a membership to workout, not to do a treasure hunt for weights. As an aside they were having weight done in the foyer a few weeks ago and propped the door open with a 90 lb. dumbbell… and it’s still propping the door open. No one missed it because we are all looking for light weights!"

"It’s an okay gym, it doesn’t have a wide range of selector machines but the gym is spacious. The hours are not optimal (prefer early morning workouts) so if it was 24 hours it would be great. Not exactly as clean as people mention. I frequently come to the gym when it first opens and there are tons of half empty water bottles or empty drink containers from the night before. Also super dusty so it makes me question how often the facility is cleaned. The floor is also dirty and always has hair on it (again I’m one of the first people in the door in the morning)."

"Highly recommend Trainer Sam Williams. In 2 months, I went from popping Advil like it was candy to totally pain free. Sam built out a custom program based on really listening to my issues, limitations and preferences. Mixes it up along the way to keep it interesting. Gym itself has a wide range of equipment including massage chairs. Staff are very friendly and helpful."

"One of the cleanest gyms in at the area it’s very spacious, all the equipment functions properly and is supported with multiple cleaning stations. The gym also comes with a boxing ring/yoga studios/ saunas/training turf areas. It has everything you would need. The staff is very friendly and personable, especially the Assistant General Manager, Clayton. He was extremely nice and welcoming. He also honored a guest pass for me while I was visiting my boyfriend for the duration of my visit. Highly recommend this location for these reasons. I will be back."
