Been member here for nearly two years. In the beginning, this was a great place to work out. But that is not what I feel today. In fact, I do not feel safe at all using most of the facilities in this place anymore.
About the personal training...
They only sell 30 mins.. which is really actually 20 mins provided that the gym isn't crowded.. which is kinda impossible these days. I have had two trainers in this place, and one tried to upsell me with expensive gym products while the other made what I felt was inappropriate frat boy remarks. Also, don't count on having a quality personal trainer. The trainers join and leave this place so much, I can almost always see a new trainer at least once in a month.and it does take a while for a new trainer to get used to your routines. If anything, I find the place only good for starting out and that's about it. Towards the end of my annual session, after my first trainer resigned, I was simply pushed into which ever trainer and time slot they could find. Which was rather irresponsible at best.
About the crowd, well, it's packed unless u come in during odd hours.. and by odd hours I mean like 1 hr before closing time, or mid day between lunch and dinner hours - where everyone is working... They have constantly been recruiting members into the gym to the point that there are now shady members in it. I mean ppl who are mostly here for other purposes than actual gyming. It's hard to get a workout without getting interrupted these days by people with extremely poor gym etiquette.
About the showers.... One of the nails in the coffin to this place. Let's just say this place is weird. I once enter the sauna to find a Bible group in session, and not the good kind either, the kind that preaches hatred and racism.. I complained to the staff at the counter and he wouldn't believe it, won't even bulge to go check. There are also a couple of pervs who spent a lot of their time in the showers, they shower in full view of everyone and likes to hound particular gym members, including me... while some love to leave their used underwear all over and some like to snatch your towels. Which is why I fully protest the stupid decision that is the clear glass shower doors which they recently added... Which of course the staff similarly dismisses the situation as impossible, and one they refused to follow up on. It's only a matter of time before they get themselves in a lawsuit.
Seeing as I no longer could get a good workout here, and that I no longer feel safe using half of the facilities here. I chose to leave this place.
To all new members, know what you are getting into, the management here does not really care about the shady things that happens here. and most of their staff come and go so quickly that not many will actually bother to do anything about it.
