What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this gym present a mixed but predominantly negative picture. While some members praise the kind and helpful staff, particularly highlighting a personal trainer named Norman Barnes for his motivation and flexible approach, and initially noting good equipment and classes, there are significant criticisms. Prospective members report extreme difficulty in joining, with numerous unanswered calls and unstaffed desks. Existing members frequently complain about an unkempt environment, citing unsupervised teenagers, weights not being re-racked, and disruptive 'egomaniac' members. Safety concerns are raised due to a lack of collar clamps, and cleanliness is an issue, especially in the men's bathrooms. Furthermore, the gym is criticized for its aggressive business practices, including locking members into 12-month contracts, charging outrageous late fees, and using intimidating collection tactics. There's also discontent regarding the facility being advertised as 24-hour but still closing at night.

I recently joined Ed Nautilus using my Silver Sneakers membership which is part of my insurance plan. Everyone there is so kind and willing to help you with answers to questions. I decided to use a personal trainer to get back into the swing of working out. They have a great beginners package. I chose Norman Barnes. He is great as a motivator and his morning schedule is flexible to suit his client’s needs. He demonstrated good personal form for each exercise so that I could work out safely. He also took into consideration my age. I highly recommend Norman as a trainer. I’ve had several throughout my workout career and he’s at the top.

I’ve been trying for over 3 weeks to see about starting a membership. I’ve made multiple calls and even showed up to Nautilus. No one ever answered the phone or called me back. I’ve tried calling in the morning, afternoon and evening but never could get someone to talk to. Someone let me in but there when I tried stopping by but there was no one at the desk to talk to. I tried tracking someone down but no one was there working. It’s been impossible to start a membership here. It’s heartbreaking. I had a few years of medical chaos that just really hurt me physically and I’m finally able to start working out to get back into fitness and Nautilus is apparently so exclusive that people trying to be new members be damned, they’re not gonna accomplish getting a membership. Who knew a gym could be so against being inclusive that their staff just don’t show up and don’t answer the phone just to exclude new people. Guess I’m searching for a more inclusive gym that’ll be open to adding a new member. This is very disappointing.

At first glance, this place is very nice. Nice equipment, friendly staff, plenty of classes. After a few trips you will see the true colors; unsupervised teenagers playing on the equipment, NO ONE RACK THEIR WEIGHTS, you’ll spend more time cleaning after others than your sets. Then there’s the egomaniacs, screaming and throwing weights, of course they cannot rerack their weights. It’s worse than babysitting. To top it off, the late fees are outrageous! If you’re paying $32/month and are a day late-$60. Absolutely ridiculous.

Get some collar clamps for your bars. Dangerous to have such short supply of quality collars, asking for someone to get hurt. And deep clean the bathrooms, especially the men's. If im paying "maintenance fees" and these rates for a 24 hour facility that advertises as such on the front door yet still closes at night, the least I could expect is bar collars and sanitary bathrooms.

Their top priority: locking you into a 12-month contract and collecting. Like a greedy thug, when you dont pay (and stop going) they send their agents to blow up your phone and leave intimidating voicemails. If thats your kink, this is the gym for you.
