"I used to attend the Y and this place is so much better. No kids are taking up the pool with lessons whenever I want to swim. The jacuzzi is HUGE and wonderful. And the 3 levels make it nice for a spacious visit. The front desk people are very friendly and helpful. The showers are powerful enough. There are so many machines I have a hard time deciding what to do next. You may have to wait a minute but that's good for practicing patience. And there's not a bunch of old creeps staring at you.... All in all I love this gym!"

"Worst gym ever ,the restrooms are horrible, they don’t clean it , it’s hair everywhere then when you tell them, they said we do what we can, no you don’t , also I saw some girls smoking marihuana in the restroom , manager no we’re to be found. Tink twice if you want to get a membership there ."

"Wow! I'm baffled by the negative reviews because this gym is genuinely great. The staff at the front desk are not only friendly but genuinely good people. The value you get for what you pay is amazing. With amenities like a pool, sauna, hot tub, and a steam room, along with a wide range of equipment and weights, including plenty of cardio machines, it's got everything you need. With three floors, there's ample space to spread out even during busy times. Yes, it’s a little bit dated, but so what for the price? And regarding the comment about the big room being locked up, that's outdated info—the room is accessible, and there's absolutely no smell issue whatsoever. Overall, it's a stellar gym experience that I wholeheartedly recommend."

"They just reduced their weight selection and made one of the major workout spaces where you could do free weight and body weight workouts into a personal training room that they keep locked and also where they have locked up all the lower weights and kettlebells as well as vital workout equipment that gym members have had access to for years. With the reduction in space everyone is basically stuffed into one basement weight area instead of spread out across the three free weight areas they used to have. It’s also personally , awkward , even though I don’t usually care but with the reduction of space all the girls now have to work out in the manly weight basement area or however you describe it so it’s weird trying to do yoga ,squats and stretching."
