Eastlake24 SR23

"Today is a sad day for me because I never thought I would feel compelled to quit coming to this location or write these words. But today I have reached the limit of my patience and understanding with this facility and its owners. I have been coming here for 15 years. It has always had its issues with cleanliness and functionality. However, most of us Fit Stop members held a positive outlook that the Eastlake buyout several years ago would lead to much needed changes in these areas. Sadly, it has only gotten worse. I have not been able to walk into the Men’s locker room/bathroom without gagging for years now. But today, I had to take a dump while standing over the toilet because I needed to use one hand to hold the stall door closed. My buddy informed me that the latch was found on the floor over a week ago, yet it has been left in this condition. The toilets and urinals can barely flush and they think it’s cute to blame it on their “gravity plumbing system”. It’s been over a year now that the divider between the urinal and the sink has been ripped off- a clear health code violation. But what’s worse is that a friend of mine even bought them the latches and all equipment necessary to replace the divider and the reply he received from management was “doesn’t bother me any”. Just last weekend (which was not a holiday) my friend had to bring his own toilet paper because using the bathroom here means flipping a coin on your chances of being able to wipe or not on any given day. The showers are no doubt an incubator for MRSA and I have felt it unsafe to use them for years. The toilets and sinks are always in the conditions shown in the photos I have, but can’t seem to post on here at the moment. With the employee working today just sitting at the front desk playing on their phone. This place was once a sanctuary for me and all my friends, since high school. It is depressing to see how far it has fallen. I implore all current members to boycott this location until the owners realize the seriousness of treating this place with the dignity and respect it deserves. Until then, go anywhere else. Charter, world gym, anytime fitness, planet fitness. At least they have toilet paper."

"I've been coming to the Granger location since November about 2-4 days a week. I can say it's not worth $30. They barely keep the machines functional, most aren't even machine simply weights and bars and hardly any working cardio. It's overcrowded functional machines, old moldy atmosphere and dirty weights If you notice, every photo is over 5 years old for a reason."

"Just stopped in, and although the hours in the door indicated a gym attendant would be on staff, there wasn’t a person in sight. I walked into the gym area to look around, and quickly realized that I would not pay for even a 1 day pass. The trash can was piled as high as it could go overflowing with bottles and trash. It was clear their was no attendant to help with a potential membership nor anyone on staff to ensure cleanliness or care of the gym. I’m thankful we didn’t end our membership with our current gym, and that I stopped in unannounced to see the facility. Thought it would be worth it as this gym is much closer to our house and would have offered better hours, but nothing beats a clean gym with friendly gym attendants on staff."

"Awesome place to train!! Positive atmosphere, motivated people ( as I am),, no waiting to use machines or free weight's typically, huge variety of free weights and machines. Last but not least very clean and well kept!!"

"Have had a membership at Fit Stop since 2007, truly is the best deal in town. I love the fact that it has 24 hour access so I can go to the gym whenever I want. Also I love how big the gym is, I never have to wait to use the equipment or machines I want. The best part is the equipment, Fit Stop has a wide variety of equipment that a lot of other gyms in the area don't."
