I only recently joined this gym, which is very nice and clean, but this review is mostly for the yoga instructor who teaches the 6:30PM class. Stephanie is AMAZING. She is knowledgeable, soft spoken and yet speaks with such deep intention. Her teaching style is welcoming and approachable and will leave you consumed with gratitude, loving yourself, and remembering that you can take on all the challenges of your life. So appreciative of Stephanie and what an incredible teacher she is.

Love this gym! Competitively priced against other gyms in the area, with much better amenities. Free access to sauna, steam room, and fitness classes (excluding Pilates and f-45 similar class, last time I checked those were additional 20-25 per session). Staff is always so friendly and the gym is always so clean! I also appreciate that I receive an email with any updates/maintenance to the gym. Last season a heat pump (or something similar) went out on the jacuzzi and they actively emailed me with updates on ordering parts, scheduled maintenance, and completion of fixing it. All which was done in a timely matter. They have updated so much equipment there as well in the year I’ve been with them. Cannot say enough good things about this gym! We initially did a free trial and signed with Jamie, definitely ask for him if you are interested in joining! Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Initially, I was disappointed because there was no tour offered. Also, the lack of 5 stars is due to the high price. But i have enjoyed their swim classes for my little girl and I highly recommend Shaemus as a personal Trainer.
