★Nicole FehrmanIf I could give 0 stars for my experience at this establishment today, I would. They say they are family oriented and want families to be healthy, but then tell children they cannot participate without a class. When I asked to sign up for the class so she could participate, I was told not without a membership. What is the point of a 7 day trial to see if we like this place if she cannot even participate in the activities? I will not be back or giving any of my money to this facility for a membership.
★Marjorie DeanBe prepared to listen to whatever music they’re playing in the workout center. Because whatever volumeyou have on your earbuds will not be able to cover up the volume that they play their music. It didn’t used to be like that, but recently the music has always turned up and you can hear it before you even get to the workout center. It’s not a good experience.
★★SCalled to inquire about a extra 25$ on top of my regular 82$ membership Payton was very rude transfered me in the middle of our phone call to the director who isn't even in the office yet told me to leave her a message. Super rude and unprofessional half of your job is taking phone calls so don't get an attitude with the hard working people that provide your paychecks. I work for holcim, the company donates ALOT of money to this location but the facility is so out of date weight floor is cramped not sure where the money is going. I've had a lot of good experiences in this gym but this really upset me this morning. 5:50 am 2-20-25
★★★★Emily MoroneyUsed to love renting the basement room out for my son’s birthday party. It was $100 to just use the room for 2 hours but I called this year to book as usual and just thought everyone should know they raised the rate by 3.5x. $350 to rent a room. Could throw a bowling alley or family fun center birthday party for that price. Normally I’d be like whatever but to raise the price 3.5x what it was? Crazy. Place was fine so I’m giving it 4 stars but yall should know it’s not low income family friendly anymore just to rent a room.
★★★★Warren HansenI always feel welcome here and the staff is very friendly. I like the fact I can go to other locations when I’m traveling. I even went to one in California. Super cool in my book!!!
