As far as gyms go, this place is a disaster. I'm surprised the Department of Health hasn't shut this place down. Okay, so I rated this gym in terms of equipment, cleanliness, friendliness, services provided, and membership fees.
As for equipment, there's barely anything on the first floor. On the second floor, they've got some equipment. They mostly have one of each machine, except for treadmills, stationary bikes, stairmasters and ellipticals. I won't give a star for equipment because there's a less than fair amount of machines, and very little free weights.
Update: 12/2017: The gym, instead of replacing broken equipment, just puts " out of service" signage on the broken machines. More and more treadmills and stair masters are broken but nobody replacing them. It's disappointing.
Cleanliness, PLEASE ASK FOR A TOUR. This place is awful. The lockers are horrifying, I've seen bugs and hairballs and the nastiest of the nastiest things down there. The swimming pool is not very clean either. Machines don't get wiped down that often. Overall, I want to give this place a negative star for cleanliness.
Friendliness, this is the only thing the gym will get a star for. The workers there are awesome, and very friendly. I never had a problem with any employee.
Update: 12/2017: Staff is starting to become disappointing. Some new staff, and not as friendly or accommodating.
Services provided. I'm going to reluctantly give a star for this category. If I could give half, it would be half. The gym provides a swimming pool (functional maybe 1/2 the time). There are classes and trainers that you have to pay for, but it does provide a fair amount of services to it's customers. You've got hand towel service ($5), etc.
Update: 12/2017: I basically only go to this gym now because it's close to my house. Services are abysmal, with a lot of equipment malfunctioning and services being provided like showers, etc are so unsanitary and disgusting, it's better not to use them. Going to have to bump this review one more star down.
Lastly, membership fees. Be careful if you're going to sign up. Read your contract if you're going to have one, and read it very carefully. The fees are ridiculous for what the gym provides, they even have an annual service fee that I have yet to see being used to remodel the gym or add anything new or fix something. Overall, would not give a star. They have basic membership fees and add a whole lot on for hand towel service, etc etc.
Overall, would not recommend this gym to anyone.
