  Its a great place to work out. They have enough work out equipment that I rarely have to wait and am able to get through my work out get on with the reast of my day.

  Very nice staff, super clean facility, large variety of equipment. Loved the wellness membership benefits they offered at an affordable price.

  They might be too new but the staff is confused and doesn't know where the rowing and lat pull-down machines are. They had to check with the manager numerous times on my tour. I did work out once but won't go back since planet fitness is better and all over st. Louis missouri.

  My girlfriend and I are members of the regular club fitness. We tried the elite to see if it was worth the money. The staff was super nice and helpful. They do have a lot to offer but I don't think it's worth the price. Only reason I'm giving it three starts is the equipment is not the greatest. It's heavier gritty and just unpleasant to work with. Also some of the equipment could be more adjustable, some of it did not fit well to the body size. We were there on leg day, so we were only using that equipment. It would be nice to use the upper body equipment because they do have some cool stuff. But they only give you a day pass. Is it worth it not in my opinion but they do have so really cool amenities they offer. But not worth $85 a month.

  Let me start by saying this review is not coming from a place of wanting to be a disgruntled “Karen” (or whatever the male equivalent is). I actually like this gym and prefer this location over Fenton — which is why this is frustrating. For a facility that brands itself as “elite,” the sauna today was on par with a roadside gas station bathroom. Full transparency: this all became noticeable because I forgot my slides and walked into the locker room barefoot. That part is on me. But what I walked into was next-level. The sauna floor was so filthy I genuinely thought we were hosting hot mud wrestling classes. And while that sounds entertaining, I’d personally prefer we stick to hot yoga. I won’t be signing up for mud wrestling — and it would be great if the sauna didn’t look like it’s actively hosting it for those of us just trying to sit and sweat for 30 minutes. As I sat on the upper-tier bench, staring at the floor in disbelief, I started noticing thick buildup in the slats of the boards. I’m calling it mud — because grime doesn’t get that thick without commitment. This wasn’t isolated to one spot either. It was everywhere, especially where people’s feet rest. Then I spotted used, soggy Zyns wedged in the boards — slowly cooking in the heat next to me. That alone nearly convinced me to quit Zyn entirely. Absolutely disgusting. Beyond cleanliness, there are legitimate safety concerns. Several of the boards where your feet rest are no longer secured properly. They lift and shift when you walk on them. Maybe we’re experimenting with diving boards now? Diving into a mud-coated tile surface sounds like a bold new amenity — but I’d personally settle for a stable, clean sauna. What makes this more frustrating is that this location is heavily staffed. There are often multiple employees at the front desk congregating and chatting. I appreciate the greeting when I check in and the “have a good one” on the way out — but I would appreciate even more being able to use a sanitary sauna in a gym that markets itself as elite. At some point, the cleanliness and loose boards become more than just unpleasant — they become liability concerns. It feels like corporate hasn’t been through here in a while, because this would be hard to miss. Someone needs to go in there with a hazmat suit, a power washer, a scrub brush, and an impact drill with deck screws — and reset the standard. I’m writing this because I want the gym to improve. I like training here. But the sauna situation needs immediate attention. I hope this review leads to meaningful changes at Club Elite.
