Mei Fitness - Southport

"first of let me start by saying, SHOUT OUT TO THE GIRL THAT WORKS IN THE MORNINGS SHE IS KILLING IT WITH THE CLEANING!!!! Always come to workout in the mornings and staff is always friendly, variety of gym equipment , and clean!!! Definitely recommend!!!!"

"Been a member for five years years, and I freaking love this gym. This is a smaller gym, and you'll see a lot of familiar faces every time you go in. A great gym for all kinds of people... however, definitely better for people who like machines and doing weights. There are serious lifters here and also casuals... everyone's friendly. There aren't rows and rows of stairsteppers and treadmills... it's not that kind of gym. But, it's the PERFECT gym for people serious about weight training and hypertrophy. I never have to wait for a rack. Great selection of machines. They've put in some very pricy Panatta fitness machines in the past year, they're fantastic. Also, there's a lot of accessories and "attention to detail" devices. Never going to quit this gym."

"I've been a member for over two years now and go to the gym about five days per week. The staff is friendly and the place is kept clean. They say the gym has 24 hour access. I have gone TWICE on Sunday mornings between 8-9 a.m. and could not get in the door. I brought this to their attention and was told their system resets itself at that time every day. Seriously? Why not schedule the reset for 2 a.m. when far fewer members are likely to be using the gym? It's frustrating to drive all the way there and then not be able to work out. The greatest problem is the other members. Every time I go there, several members are just sitting on equipment staring at their phones. They'll do it for 15-20 minutes at a time! If you go up to them and politely ask if you can "work-in", they get rude and say "I am just finishing up" (they then go back to their phone). There are rules posted in the gym explicitly telling members NOT to use their phones UNLESS they are OFF the equipment. Another thing members like to do is to put their phone and personal items at a machine they want to use next, while they are using a nearby machine. It's like saving a parking space with a lawn chair sort of thing. They do this when staff is present and the staff doesn't say anything. It's so annoying. I am busy and don't have time to fart around waiting for a bunch of grown teenagers playing on their phones. I know this is a problem at every gym, but it is becoming a daily problem at the Stop 11 Road gym. I wish management and staff would put a stop to this practice. Their are cameras out on the floor recording this boorish behavior. I am afraid if this continues, I may have to seek another place to do my workouts. Such a shame. Lastly, there is a problem with personal hygiene for some of the members. Many times, I enter the gym and I am greeted with the distinct odor of bad breath. I don't know what some of these people eat before working out, but it is obvious they don't brush their teeth or use mouthwash. How the heck does one person stink up an entire gym with bad breath odor?! Again, there is a sign warning of this kind of behavior but nobody enforces it."

"Came here as a truck driver. Was told no day passes and this was 4:30pm. As a truck driver you would think gyms would be open to doing day passes! I guess not. Will let all truck drivers I know to stay away!"

"Great gym. It’s never too busy to get to what you need, and they have a great selection of equipment. They will regularly replace equipment that doesn’t get used with something else. The sauna is really nice as well. Also cheaper than just about anything but planet fitness. My only complaint is the music. The selection is small so you’ll hear the same songs every workout, and they’re mostly bad. All in all, though, I highly recommend this place!"
