The Gym — Local services in Lewiston

This place is a gem. I purchased a day pass while visiting the area, and was really glad I did. Where I live, you don't see gyms like this anymore. The gym strikes a balance between the needs of the casual and serious trainer. For example, the gym contains a section towards the back for "hardcore" type training. It is the kind of place that would bring a smile to a powerlifters or olympic trainers face (the kind of place where chalk is allowed). But before you think this is the overwhelming "vibe" of the place, rest assured that this section is at the back of the gym, thru a door that you would think leads to the parking lot. The rest of the gym looks well maintained, with shinny hardwood floors, and a more casual inviting feel. And the memebers mostly look like regular folk there just trying to get in a productive workout, and maybe a quick chat with one of the other regulars . Some of the equipment is a bit dated but looks well maintained. Other things I noticed may seem minor, but in this world of the $9 gym where nice to see: Multiple jump ropes (nice ones) Weightlifting belts available Foam rollers Finally the gym was clean. Again the gym is not new, but it does not looked uncared for. So if you are visiting the area like I was, and are looking for a place to get in a good workout, this is the place. If you live in the Lewiston area, I can sincerly say that I feel you should at least try this gym out. I know that if I lived anywhere near that gym, I would have joined...

Very unprofessional when it came to canceling my membership. I spoke with an employee over the phone about canceling my membership and what it entailed. He said he canceled my membership and that there was no additional action needed. Fast forward a few months and I find out my card was still being charged for the account. I went to the gym in person to find that my account was improperly canceled. I contacted the owner and she refused to refund me because their membership policy states that there must be proper documentation when canceling. This was not something the employee had mentioned when I called months prior. I provided phone records to show that I spoke with an employee about cancelation and the owner still refused to believe me nor listen and kept stating that their employees know the policy (when this is clearly not true). It is a shame that it came to this because there were certain employees who were very friendly. However, the owner was unprofessional with my situation and the employees did not understand the...

This is an adequately equipped gym for the serious bodybuilder, (which I am not). Although the equipment were not new, it was well maintained and clean. Every piece of equipment I needed for my routine was there.

Staff were awesome, IMO. They were efficient, knowledgeable and made sure I had everything needed for my gym session. The place is well placarded, so you don't have to keep asking awkward questions (i.e. the routine on wiping the equipment when you are done, etc)

Showers, towels available. Vending machines, some merchandise.

They accept day passes, which can be purchased at the door for $8.00.

I did not need any value added services (i.e. personal training), so no opinion about that, then.

Enjoy...
