I wish I could give this place zero stars. I don't know where these glowing reviews come from, it clearly suggests that they were written by staff.
I don't mind that the place is a little dirty and small. What I do mind is the highly aggressive nature of their staff constantly hounding me into buying their supplements/vitamins/protein shakes.
They offer great monthly specials which is why I checked it out in the first place, but they don't tell you that you have to pay for all the months in the membership all at once, all up front. A previous reviewer said it well - they really ""do everything short of holding you hostage to get you to sign a contract."" I ended up signing a contract against my better judgement because the gym was so close to my house. I regretted it from day one, and every single time I went to work out, at least once a staff member would interrupt me with sales pitches to buy stuff from them. I always felt like I was inside of some demented infomercial. I was there strictly to exercise, not to be pressured into buying products I don't need or want.
The last time I went in I was actually running on the treadmill with headphones on, concentrating on my workout and some ""trainer/salesman"" came up and stood beside the machine to me waiting for me to listen to him. I stopped my music and he started with the pitch, ""So what vitamins are you taking? Have you heard about ________? We have a special on them right now."" He wouldn't take ""leave me alone"" for an answer and I ended up stopping my workout and leaving very angrily.
I never went back in until today to cancel my membership (which you have to do physically in person - not on the phone - so they can hound you into not quitting, and they will actually demand that you explain to them exactly why you are quitting before they will cancel your membership.
Screw that. Too frustrating to spend your money here. Go anywhere else.
Good riddance!
