    Awful workers there, would not recommend anyone go unless they are prepared to be bombarded with rude statements and backhanded compliments.

    I read the reviews and I the skeptical, but I wanted to check it out for myself. The club was fine. I've been to MANY different locations, they all have wear and tear, but this one was not like what the previous reviews warned about. ***They may have updated/changed to remove the negativity, I don't know🤷. But it was fine. It's a gym..... Get in, get gainz, and bounce.
