I have been a member for about 3 years, since I moved to here within walking distance of the gym. Totally different experience from my former gym, which was brand new, high-priced, and beautiful--but Kinetix Fitness has all the quirky charm of the town surrounding it.
Yes, pigeons are nesting in the entrance overhang and sometimes big chunks of yucky stuff fall out from there. Yes, there are really big potholes in the parking lot and a junkyard of abandoned equipment behind the building. Yes, it kind of smells bad and stuff is broken a lot.
It doesn't really matter because the people who work there are always super-friendly; the gym members are interesting, fun-loving people from every imaginable walk of life; and the class instructors are talented and reliable. I pay one lump sum every two years and overall my membership is an excellent value. I wouldn't trade my place in this special little piece of the community for anything!
