This is a gym, not a fitness center/spa.
Front desk and support staff (Jessie, Hugo, Jose, and Sondra) are exceptional. They push 110% everyday and members appreciate and respect the high quality service they provide.
Pete Mitec is a very knowledgeable personal trainer manager at this location. His personal training staff that I know (Ahmad, Adrian and Mike) are also knowledgeable and credentialed.
Problem is training staff seem to be instructed by the Washington Sports organization NOT to assist club members UNLESS they sign up for private, personal training lessons.
Sad, because often club members can be seen doing exercises incorrectly and no trainer is available on the gym floor to advise them that they might be injuring themselves. When personal trainers do not have private clients, the Washington Sports organization appears to instruct the trainers to stay in the staff offices, where they can be seen either talking with friends/clients or surfing the internet. It appears no daily, personal assistance to club members is included in the monthly membership fee (except for the annual fitness evaluation). Often on Sunday afternoons or evenings, there is NO personal trainer on site. Scary, if someone should injures him/herself.
There are some serious club members working out here. Club members are polite and respectful of others. No attitude here. Refreshing and always challenging place to work out!
