Lots of good equipment but it is poorly maintained. Some of the padding is worn out on the workout surfaces that have padding, and some of the handles or other parts are worn or ill-fit. Weights are not in their proper places--hard to find what you need sometimes, especially dumbells and longbars. That occurs in other gyms, too, but here it is particularly problematic because the place gets VERY crowded and it just takes a lot longer to find what you need, if you can find it at all. I have had a hard time on some days finding a pair of matching dumbells to work with.
Also, this place is more like an Asian social club than a gym. People here occupy the machines and talk with each other, talk on their cellphones, or text on their phones instead of working out. Every day I workout there I have to ask someone to get off a machine because they're just sitting or standing at it staring at their phones or BS-ing with their buddies or girlfriends or both instead of working out. I wish there were a social club space in the facility where these folks could enjoy each other at tables with coffee or soda rather than having them occupy machines they're not really using.
The sauna can get kind of skanky, too, as people who attend this gym like to leave their sweaty handtowels on the floor when they leave as if the floor is a trash can. The sauna is often not working or "under repair."
When the place is at its peak hours (morning and evening), it is very difficult to access equipment. This is the case in a lot of gyms, but the population in this gym is so dense as to make it unusable at peak hours.
Overall, when my membership expires, I'm not coming back.
