About

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The gym receives mixed reviews, but largely negative, with many members expressing dissatisfaction. Positive aspects mentioned include convenient locations, a variety of amenities (such as weight rooms, pools, saunas, tanning beds, massagers, and fitness classes), and perceived good value or membership options. However, significant complaints revolve around widespread neglect and poor maintenance, especially in the men's locker room which is described as having broken doors, rusted surfaces, a closed sauna (since Fall 2024), a collapsing ceiling with mold, and a frequently out-of-order hot tub. Other locations are noted for being dirty, with mold in locker rooms, black grout in steam rooms, and broken machines. A major point of contention is a new membership policy (effective April 2024) requiring a higher-tier membership for pool access, which was allegedly poorly communicated, leading to members feeling cheated out of prepaid annual fees and losing access to convenient downtown locations. This change is seen as demonstrating a lack of oversight, unprofessionalism, and disregard for members, particularly those from lower-income areas.

The men's locker room has been in need of basic upkeep and renovations for a few years now. The door between the locker room and the pool is broken. Since fall 2024, the glass door to the steam sauna has been removed from its hinges, resulting in the gym closing the sauna. Many surfaces throughout the space are completely rusted through. Parts of the ceiling are collapsing and are spotted with what appears to be black mold. The length and consistency of this negligence is disturbing.

I found this place on my own & the location is very convenient but with all the negative reviews, forget about it. I don’t need this drama. Sounds like they need to fire that unprofessional individual & get someone whose capable of the job.

Honestly, I only changed Gyms because the downtown locations were convenient and the price of 8.99/mo was a good deal for access to 8 locations. Even though the downtown locations are disgusting, the grout is black in the steam room, the floors have thick layered dirt caked everywhere, there's mold in the locker rooms, and some machines needing repaired badly. All of this I overlooked because of the price and convenience because I work downtown and go the gym on my lunch exclusively. Then I had my membership renew 4/1/24. I paid the whole year in full only to find out that they slipped in a new clause stating if you didn't have their 24.99/mo membership you would lose access to the gyms with the pools. That's all of their gyms near downtown about 1/3 of their total locations and the closest one to down town on the north side. So now your options are to drive either to the complete north, south, or west side of town. They state they sent out letters on January 1st, but ironically I never received one and neither did the other members I heard complaining about it when I was filling out my cancellation notice at the corporate office. Now I'm out $120 and was told "You can still go to the North side gym" mind you that's clear out on Highway 24, almost 3 miles away and is a super tiny gym. They claim it was because people that didn't have the more expensive memberships were using the pools, but here's an idea why not just take your existing badge readers and place them on the doors leading to the pools instead of punishing likely the good majority of your members. I can't wait to see what their member dues look like next year because of all the people cancelling. The lack of oversight and the blatant disregard for their members is astounding. Must be convenient to appease the members where the gyms are located in affluent areas as most of the members that will be affected are the lower income areas likely with less access to travel to the distant locations.

Great amenities for the price and centrally located. You can join a single location or all locations. This particular location offers a weight room or a workout room with various machines. Also an indoor swimming, a tanning bed, massager and dry sauna. They hold classes regularly for group activities. There are also personal trainers you can work with. All kinds of membership options available. Checkout their website or give them a call to discuss. Great value!
