★☆☆☆☆ — Long-Time Member, Very Disappointed

I’ve been a member at this gym for a while now, and honestly, I’ve stayed longer than I should have. Over time, the place has become more uncomfortable and less professional — and it’s finally reached a point where I feel the need to speak up.

First off, the equipment is in rough shape. A lot of the benches and machines have cracked or torn padding, and it’s been that way for months. It’s not just annoying — it feels unsanitary and borderline unsafe.

But what really pushed me over the edge is the atmosphere. Yes, there are cameras — which is standard in most gyms — but the way they’re used here doesn’t feel right. I’ve personally overheard staff and even ownership gossiping with members about what they’ve seen on the cameras. Not in a security context — in a gossipy, judgmental way. It’s uncomfortable and completely unprofessional.

I also know multiple women who’ve left the gym because they felt “creeped out” by the environment. And I get it — when people don’t feel safe or respected in a gym, that’s a serious issue.

And let’s not forget the pricing. Every time a single new piece of equipment shows up, membership rates go up — even though most of the gym is still in poor condition. It feels like we’re being charged more without seeing any real improvements.

I’m sharing this based on my personal experience and conversations I’ve had with other members. I really hope the owners take this kind of feedback seriously and make some real changes — because right now, this isn’t a space I can...

I love this place! It has free weights and equipment up front, and a large classroom with Crossfit-style equipment in the back. It is so nice to see both, not just one or the other. I like that they don’t lock you in to a contract, and I can drop in for a workout when I come visit family in town – no long-term commitments!

Treadmills, rowers, ellipticals, bikes, plate-loaded equipment, cable/weight stack equipment, steel plates, bumper plates, kettlebells from 10 to 70 pounds, dumbbells from 3 to 100 pounds, wallballs, plyo boxes, sleds (with over 100’ of turf INDOORS), rings, squat racks, WOW! (and I know I have missed some stuff). This is a GREAT place to work out. While I was there, I noticed people in the cardio area, some people lifting heavy, others doing “normal” stuff, and more still doing HIIT workouts. Even with all of that, it was not crowded – plenty of space.

It is not an intimidating atmosphere at all. I was very comfortable with my high school and college age children. If we looked like we had a question, there was always someone willing to help. I...

$5 day pass! & worth every penny!

Terrible facility. No A/C. Oldest equipment I’ve used in a long time. Members were extremely friendly and outgoing! Tried calling because I couldn’t get in, and looked around for an employee after a member let me in. Couldn’t find anyone and half way through my work out, saw a lady vacuuming behind a wall. On my last workout, employee finally came up and asked who I was and I explained, in town for the day and tried calling to get a day pass. Employee said she tried to call me (verified she hadn’t) and said she had been busy training someone, which she hadn’t been. Went up front and filled out all their paperwork. So I could get back to my last set. Totally worth it if you are driving through town, but if you need an actual membership to a gym for more than 1 days, try elsewhere and see what real...
