Pride Fitness & Tanning — Local services in Elgin

It's not open 24/7, for one. My biggest issue is the price for what you're getting, compared to the gyms in Lawton. It's cheaper for a Planet Fitness or for a Anytime Fitness membership to include amenities like massage machine, tanning, etc.

They need to have routine maintenance done in order to stay on top of problems like this. I don’t think that’s asking too much for equipment to work.
