The men’s bathroom has always reeked of piss soaked carpets which for some reason they haven’t gotten rid of, regardless of the stains and smell that they are likely nose-blind to. I’ve seen a trail of pee running from under a urinal to the carpet. Who keeps carpet in a bathroom/shower room, in a building that has bare concrete floors everywhere else with no issue? Rubber mats exist for a reason. Same bathroom has had a toilet seat that has been ready to fall off for months. But they would only notice that if they made an effort to check on these things or clean it. Also, a handful of times I’ve found that the place also likes to close at least an hour early some days on the weekend, even with me double checking that the website/instagram/google maps hours haven’t been updated to reflect it. No sign on the door. Sometimes even with the open sign...

There is a lot packed into the space. Extreme variety for getting in a quality workout. For me, the downside was the hours, and the cleanliness of the facility. I prefer a workout in the AM (5) when most people do not crowd in, and you aren’t exhausted from work.

He had me write my name down on a post it note and said he’d take care of it. Well that was March 2023. I just realized I’ve been getting charged this entire time quarterly. I’ve tried calling and calling, nobody picks up. I’ve also looked at reviews where other people have had this same issue and he refuses to be held accountable. If you cancel your membership, get it in writing. I’ve had to change my CC number just to stop this, and I’ve had the bank now get involved to get some of my money back. This business is not run properly in regard to financial...
