Member for 2.5 years. Great classes and very nice staff. I am writing this to go over some of the complaints I have read below.
1: the locker rooms: this is a landmark building. They cannot tear down walls or significantly change the design of the building. Just to make plumbing repairs to the locker rooms took months of waiting for permits to go through. Perk: bath towels are big and fluffy!
2: equipment: they have a bit of everything. Yes, it gets crowded during peak hours. So does every gym in the city. Also, if someone is using a piece of weight equipment that you are interested in, politely ask if you can work in with them.
3: staff: always pleasant, even when I have seen members be a pain. Classes do fill up...you can sign up on line. Don't complain at the desk if you arrive 5 minutes before a class, and don't get a spot.
4: trainers: yes, if you are 'fresh meat', they can be a little aggressive (in a nice way) because, it's their job. Do use the introductory session to get some tips. If you are in your 30's and you are doing the same stuff that you did in College, it might be time for a change. And guys, please train your legs once in a while. To me there is nothing weirder than a buff upper body and two sticks for legs.
All in all, I have been very happy.
