I thought, originally, this gym was an awesome place to get in a workout, especially if you are into powerlifting and bodybuilding. I liked all the old school equipment and the staff was cool. The only thing I didn't like about the place was the $100 monthly charge. This is incredibly pricey for a gym.
I am a full-time student at USC and I usually workout at the gym there. However, it closed down for the summer, so I had to find a new gym temporarily. I chose this place, because of the convient location and the fact that there were no initiation or cancelation fees, plus I love powerlifting.
I asked about the price when I joined and why it was so high.. I was told it was because they have equipment no one else has and they wanted to get more new equipment. I have been lifting consistently for almost 8 years now. I have been to several gyms on base, when I was in the Marines Corps, and countless civilian gyms in California and the South East, including 24hour, LA fitness, and Max Fitness. I can tell you this gym is not worth $100 a month, save your money and go elsewhere!
I was originally intending to give this place at least 3 stars and would've recommended it, if you don't mind the price. However, when I tried to cancel my membership on the 20th, of this month, they had already charged me $100 for the entire next month (the transaction was pending at the time). Granted, I had started my membership on the 18th, nonetheless I had not worked out there since the 16th and I didn't intend to workout there again. They would not give me a refund and kept my money. I was told that once the transaction went through they could not cancel it. Even so, they could've easily given me a cash refund, having a $20 a day non-membership fee, but they elected not to.
This ultimately leads me to believe that this place is just another money hungry gym. I would stay away and find much better gym that's worth the price.
