Whether you want to lose weight, build strength, take a few classes to relieve stress or all of the above, this gym is the place to do it. The gym itself is fantastic. Clean, well decorated and full of the best equiptment. The staff is all excellent, including the very knowledgable trainers (I swear by everything Kathy B. teaches me), who are always willing to answer a few questions, even if you can't afford to spring for a session. The administrative staff is also excellent. They are not only friendly, but also extremely encouraging (and what's really impressive is that every single one of the staff seems to know every single member by name!). It may be a little more expensive than 24-Fitness, but it's well worth the extra money. Seriously. Not only is it a place where you are encouraged to work out as often as possible and to participate in their variety of programs, but it is also a place where you'll want to go. The environment is inviting and the rest of the clientelle are very encouraging of one another, making working out a positive experience. They also offer a variety of out-of-gym programs, including river rafting and various fitness challenges, as well as programs for parents and their kids. Pretty cool.
Pros: Location, variety, trainers
Cons: The few members that don't wear deoderant (but that's not really the gym's fault).
