    Will raise your membership rates without notifying you, and when you try to cancel, will continue to charge you for months ignoring your calls and emails. Also half the facilities are shut down every time you go. Avoid this terrible place and sign up at a real gym.

    It has been a slow but steady decline since I joined 2 years ago. The locker room is atrocious, so much so that I’d rather brave a chilly morning in my shorts than have to change inside; it smells like mold and is always absurdly wet everywhere. The equipment is constantly down, especially the cardio (Pelotons and Treadmills). Wouldn’t be as bad if you could hop in a fitness room and get a workout in, but they are constantly double booking them for classes, and the instructors are some of the rudest folks you’ll encounter at the gym; they’ll come in 20 minutes before their class to clear the room like you aren’t paying $70 a month to be there, then snap on you if you come in for any of the equipment that is hoarded in the room, even though it’s just two people and an instructor. The gym space itself is constantly covered in dustballs and hair, sticky patches all over the floor, and the meager fixing they give you to wipe down the equipment (cheap paper towels and always broken spray bottles) doesn’t do a great job on the taped up pads on almost everything. In short, I feel like I’m working out in my uncle’s garage gym rather than a place I’d pay $70 a month to be at.

    Friendly staff and patrons, clean facility, and never too busy. There’s always equipment available, plus they have Peloton bikes which I love. Plenty of parking and bike racks, and it’s just at the end of the 606. They also have a pool (currently closed for deep cleaning), but overall a great place to work out!
