The gym has handicapped parking available which is great for me. But the parking lot seems to run out of spaces during the weekends. The only option is to park across the street at the Fry's store.
There are 3 types of memberships available: basic, premium, and more. The basic is just basic use of the equipment. I have the premium membership which allows me to use the hydromassage bed, the tanning bed, the sauna, and allows me to attend exercise classes, visit any Chuze gym I want, and bring a guest (as a basic member) on the weekends. Quite frankly, I mainly joined to use the hydromassage bed. The more membership allows you to bring a guest whenever you wish and access to special exercise rooms. And the guest cannot use the hydromassage bed unless they pay the nominal fee.
The gym check-in can be done on your phone with an app or you can request a card to scan. Your guest will check-in on the computer. First they will create an account; which will make all their check-ins fast and easy.
This location has updated its exercise claases. They have added a Silver Sneakers class. They have a cinema which is supposed to follow a movie schedule. It's disappointing when the staff ignores the film and plays something else or forgets to start the film. It kinda makes sitting in the dark exercising alone sad.
But there are other areas to exercise. To listen to the TV's hanging above you will need a headphones that plug into the machine. There is no Bluetooth. I don't have Bluetooth anyways so I like the simplicity. I don't want to buy anything extra or get upset because my battery died. I just want to do a simple workout, get a massage, shower, and go on my way.
Overall I like the gym. It seems nice. I just wish that people wouldn't sit on equipment for over an hour watching TV or chating. I don't mind if you're using it. But you could sit on the sofa and have a conversation with your friend allowing other people to use the ab equipment.
This location does not have a kids area, a pool, or a smoothie bar. It is accessible on the ground level. However, there is a small elevated area that has ab equipment and a circuit which is only accessible with narrow stairs. There is...
Read moreFairly nice atmosphere, and it's a good deal if you have the basic $10 membership. The theater is nice if you want to pay to watch movies while you workout rather than doing it for free at home (that's only half sarcastic, it's like an actual legit little theater). The equipment in the gym is nice and well maintained. The primary reason I joined was for a specific rotation workout that I have not been able to complete a single time because people will either stay on one machine using it for the entire time or simply use it as a chair and literally sit in the middle of the circuit and text or stand there talking to each other and not move rather than just staying in the locker room or the parking lot...Eventually most people who actually want to use it seem to give up and go somewhere else. The gym has rules like no loud grunting, dropping weights, etc. and directions for how to use the circuit, but since I've never seen any of the employees anywhere other than all gathered together behind the desk, there's not really anyone enforcing them throughout the gym. If you want the basic equipment and individual machines or the classes work for your schedule, you can't beat the deal for the membership price (although mark your calendar for when they hit you with that $100 annual fee to make up for the low monthly rates), and for the higher price you can bring someone with you every time and get some perks like tanning and hydromassage beds. It's not a bad place at all, and my lower score is due mostly to my personal experience of not being able to do the one thing I joined the gym to do and none of the employees doing anything to even attempt to control it. Depending what you're looking for, this could easily be a great...
Read moreI was lied to from the beginning from this location!! My 16 yr old went there today with her aunt and sister and they would not let her in unless they can prove guardianship or she can get a membership!! 3 weeks earlier I went in and asked all these questions when I was told she can come in with any adult! Now this might just be because they wanted us to SIGN UP.??!! Today I live over an hour away and home sick. They call me and say " not only will they not let her in the gym but she needs to go outside" WWHAATTTT???? Your company treats people so bad....hey let's take their money and give this 16 year old her own membership but she cant come in with family and now she cant set in the lobby so she is out of the 104 degree temp until her mom drives an hour to get her??? I don't want anything free, I'm asking only 1 thing, At a district manager, store manager or lead-EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE ON ONE PAGE!! Print your policy and know it! I was lied to from the beginning I called 2 other locations just now and they said we would let your daughter work out here with a 'minor waiver ' with her family yes!! Okay then why wont the Chuze fitness on ajo? Because they all aren't on the same page!!!
With a company so big, a clean facility and nice machines I would jump on training all the staff on all policies before more people get piss, or you get the wrong person mad!!
P.S. while I was in this location I heard the manager saying " sorry over and over to another upset customer "
Don't be sorry just know your policy and treat others as you would want your family treated!! If you would have kicked my daughter out of your building we would have had a whole other issue...
