Great equipment.
Strive treats those who don't purchase personal training packages as second class citizens. Changes rules after 2 years on a dime, usually personally based. Only towards members who don't buy bells and whistles.
No floor supervision/assistance of/for clients. You can't get a spot, or if you're doing something risky, no feedback. Have seen preventable accidents occur.
Manager will lie to your face, is insincere and only motivated by $.
But puts on a great act. Should run for congress.
Like a politician he'll only kiss a baby if a camera is rolling.
Asst. Manager is selectivity abusive and ignorant.
But if you buy the personal training packages they will "stroke you".... "Hey, you're awesome!",then bad mouth you behind your back.
There's a huge lack of sincerity, honesty.
Often classes are too big and personal trainers can't give clients the attention they deserve.
Manger will manipulate/exploit children with "programs for kids" to gain good, local PR. Yet only serve the wealthy who can afford it. And the trainers are instructed to put up with any dangerous nonsense... as long as it's base on cash revenue.
As a former PE teacher and personal trainer I've seen counter productive , and dangerous activity reinforced in these sessions so as not to jeopardize and additional income. This is not in the best interest of young people.
Strive's moral compass points towards the dollar sign.
Great equipment.
Mostly great, underpaid, overwhelmed trainers.
Management is insincere and at times engages in bullying... to members who don't but the training packages.
I was at this gym for over 8 years, with 2 previous owners... I experienced none of these issues.
