Cool little private gym, with some pretty cool trainers. Just be aware of their practice of automatic recurring monthly charges.
Here was my experience.
I reached out to this gym to get some coaching on my lifts. In response I was instructed to go to their website, sign up for an account, and schedule an appointment. A credit card was required.
I had seen a different ssc a few years back in LA and their was no account sign up required or anything like that. With that coach I made an appointment through email and showed up to the appointment cash in hand. The strength co, however, is involved in the practice of automatic monthly recurring charges. Remember, I only wanted one private session.
Long story short, I was charged for membership fees for 2 months after my session. I was able to stop this on the 3rd from happening by switching my credit card to a prepaid card that had no money on it.
My advice would be this. If you want to sign up to a monthly gym this isn't a bad one at all, a bit expensive but not unreasonable.
If you only want a private session, this is also not a bad gym for that either, just don't sign up for an account on their website. Refuse to give any credit card info and instead just tell the staff you only deal in cash.
Another option would be, if you have one, only provide a prepaid card. The gym can continue charging that card if they like, but they wont get anything from it if you haven't loaded any money on it.
