The J Street Gym — Attraction in Bentonville

Nobody is looking for some “country club” experience lol, but this gym is a literal pos for what you charge. Won’t be paying the random 90 some bucks when it’s supposed to $68 a month, I’ll just go with a friend who has been letting me in. It’s not a hardcore anything and several machines are constantly broken. With as much as you charge, you should be able to afford to replace parts of machines that you claim to have as functioning. You should also be able to afford to pay for someone to oversee childcare instead of just a family friend. I was told if “we could find anyone to work those hours for children, we would hire someone” then I told multiple people who inquired about that and weren’t hired even though they had ample childcare experience. So you’re evidently not looking to hire for that role. Just don’t lie to your customers then. Pretty simple lol. The holes in the flooring throughout, the bathroom having rusted stalls, damage, etc. I do handyman work and renovations on homes, so I get dirty daily, but to have a trashed pos gym like you guys do and pretend it means you’re “hardcore🥴” is a joke lol. It’s not even remotely a hardcore gym, and I’ve been in plenty of actual hardcore gyms. Stop with the false advertising of being hardcore. You’ve not made good use of your space by any means and you don’t have working equipment and you guys should stop lying about your equipment supposedly working when half of it doesn’t. Such a waste of space having broken equipment on the floor, doing nothing about it.

Ya need to do better. It’s embarrassing at this point and I’ve talked with several people who used to go there and now don’t or due to the same issues. I now tell people in groups I’m in to avoid this gym at all costs. Luckily they listen because I’ve got the pictures as proof. Have a good day and hopefully you’ll work towards...

You really need to manage your expectations if you join this gym. I’m a former gym owner and have testified as an expert witness in fitness facility liability. The areas of liability and exposure they have are very high. The facility is filthy including but not limited to floors, equipment, surfaces etcetera. I counted more than ten empty water bottles on the floor, gum wrappers, a Skole tobacco can and general trash left on the floor for weeks. The few garbage cans there are on the floor are full and remain that way. There’s literally no disinfectant available for wiping equipment anywhere. I counted ten pieces of equipment left on the floor in a 10’ radius from where I was sitting. Fifty percent of the equipment with Naugahyde is torn. This situation is ripe to contract a staph infection. There has to be ten different types of flooring, all need to be replaced because it’s torn, uneven or buckled. There’s always unleashed dogs that I’m positive are not covered in their insurance policy. It’s another liability to members. And yes there’s plenty of shirtless members. I could go on but I’ll stop there. Go see...

Update: I was NOT politely asked, the owner was super rude calling a paying customer “stupid” and then hung up the phone when trying to remedy the mishap. There was never any form offered or was it suggested to have anything in writing. In fact, I never even received a copy of the contract. The gym does have a lot of equipment but one of the owners is the worst to work with. No business etiquette and very unprofessional.

The owners of this gym, in particular Brian, is one of the rudest people you will ever meet. Now, if you are into a dirty “bro” gym then this is the place. You can expect no help from staff and management NOT to help at all if you have problems accessing door entry. The machines are old and duct taped. When I went to explain how I wanted to cancel my membership one of the owners was accommodating and but they did not close my account and continued to charge me. When I contacted the gym not only was the manger rude, unprofessional and acted like a child but basically hung up on me because he apparently had no social skills. Worst business...
