What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this gym are mixed, highlighting both strong positives and significant concerns. Many members praise the friendly and helpful staff, the availability of diverse programs for all ages, and specific offerings like CrossFit, noting the wonderful, patient instructors who provide modifications. Parents particularly appreciate the childcare services, making it a highly recommended option for staying fit, and some found the equipment enjoyable. However, a major point of dissatisfaction centers on cleanliness, with one reviewer describing an unbearable smell in the sauna and steam rooms (men's and women's). This same reviewer also detailed a negative experience with billing, including an unexpected charge despite submitting paperwork for awards, and a lack of responsiveness from staff until a bank dispute was initiated, leading to financial distress and a feeling of disgust.
