    The gym equipment is fine, cleanliness good. However this is the only gym I've ever been to that allows outside personal trainers to bring a class in every single day, and literally a whole area of the gym is taken for over an hour. I started this gym 2 weeks ago and have been so disappointed that a whole area of the gym is unavailable due to trainers bringing their group of more than 15 people and take up a whole area for over an hour. This morning the group took up the Smith machine, both leg presses, and the entire area nearby, from the time I arrived at 5am, to the time I left at 6:15 am . Wish I knew this was there practice before joining

    There are almost always no availability of needed machines. There is 1 Roman chair that is occupied 98% of the time. The for work area is a small hard floor area that is always crowded. People tend to spend long periods of time on Machines or superset and tie up 2 machines at a time. Some do not want you to work in. This is not my favorite gym.

    Tonight I went to Blink and used my key fob to check in. I was stopped and refused admission and told that the only way to gain entry is via the new app. I told the person at the front desk that I had been at the gym a few days ago and was told that I could continue to use my fob under the new ownership. I also told her that I don't bring my phone to the gym. I asked if I could just get a new fob. I was told that this was not an option and that they couldn't even look up my membership. After a back and forth I asked to speak with a manager and was told "she's not here". After going home and cancelling my membership I viewed my online "member profile" that shows that I was successfully checked in at the gym tonight in spite of being refused entry and turned away. For the past 3 years I have braved the crowds waiting for dumbbells, benches, and machines. I have put up with trash - water bottles, wipes, whatever - on the gym floor and equipment. I have wasted my workout time moving plates and searching for dumbbells since re-racking weights is not a thing at this gym. I have watched week after week as broken equipment is not repaired. This evening's experience was the tipping point from "cheap and convenient" to not worth it. Editing in response to the "owner" response to this review: I have emailed 3 times. I tried contacting someone via the Blink page. No one has bothered to respond to me to try to either discuss my feedback or to "make things right". So the response here is nothing more than performative.
