★Rodrigo RThey have over priced gym membership when they whole pool system is closed like Atlest change the price lower cause it is a lot for what you get. They need to change the temperature in the gym it be super hot to work out and feels terrible being inside a room with no ac i expect better for what I pay for coming here and no ac
★★Reviewsi enjoy this place, peacefully and good machines for tiny gym. i just don’t appreciate the disrespect from the old ladies at the front desk. they’re constantly rude and disrespectful towards me and i really don’t enjoy that
★★★★★TimCI’ve really enjoyed going to this gym and every visit has been a great experience. Patty and Jacqueline at the front desk are always welcoming with a smile and genuinely friendly which makes a difference. The gym has everything you need including a clean swimming pool with a lifeguard, a basketball court, plenty of weights and a variety of workout machines. It is never too crowded which makes working out much more enjoyable and honestly you cannot beat the price for what you get. I highly recommend checking it out.
★★★Ms. NooneSome of the weights are off. Small gym, nice track. I dont like the hours. Closes to early. The locker room needs to be fixed and cleaned better. Nice staff
★★★Sue SensorI've been a member for a few years. I love the convenience of location. I signed up to primarily use the pool and go to aqua classes. I love the aqua instructor. She is accommodating to the swimmer's needs. She definitely makes it fun. The facility is run down and has not been maintained. The women's locker room is dingy. The handicap accessible toilet has been broken for at least 9 months. There's a chair over it, so no one uses it. I don't know how that is ADA compliant. The showers on one side are not functional. The pool was closed for 9 months after the lighting fire. You'd think some of the other things could have been addressed while the pool was closed. Now there's a shortage of life guards. I kept paying my membership while the pool was closed, hoping it would open and have classes again. Several classes have been cancelled and hours are shortened. I understand staffing issues, but communication has not been great about facility hours. I hope things improve soon.
