The recently updated fitness center is just spectacular. Everything I could need and want in a workout at a great price for my budget. My man Jeff was so much help, too. He got me and my roommates signed up with a great plan, gave us a tour, and had an overall positive attitude. Great place with some great staff.

Absolutely loved my Zumba class with Britnie and Nadia! Their energy and enthusiasm were infectious, perfectly complemented by the upbeat music. It made the workout both fun and effective. Can't wait for the next session! Thank you, ladies!

Update: The new addition is amazing. Great workout facility. The negative is they added no additional gym space. During Youth Sports season its impossible to find an open space to do anything. Youth Sports has become a nightmare in recent years. The failure to properly train officials or hire ones that care more than just earning a paycheck is incredibly frustrating. They also allow select groups of people to hand select their teams. I don't understand the nature of this when certain teams are winning by 4-6 touchdowns each game, or volleyball teams have 10+ players when others struggle to field 6 to play a game. If this is the goal they are shooting for this needs to be advertised as a bring your own team scenario like leagues in the Hastings YMCA. Moving forward we plan to move our children to club sports where it's expected to care more about putting your best foot forward than coaching athletes of all abilities.

I would give 100 stars if I could after what happened today! I always lock up my things in a locker when I'm there. Well, somehow I lost the key to my padlock. I explained the situation to Trevor Peterson at the front desk. He kindly offered to try picking the lock. He worked hard but he just couldn't get it. Another staff member suggested using the bolt cutters that they have. Trevor took the bolt cutters and cut the lock in no time. I couldn't thank him enough! He really went the extra mile to help me out! Thanks again, Trevor!

Thank you for your empowering support, time and awesome facility 😊
