I've been a member of M Gym for over five years...when it was first Monqi Fitness. I'm thrill to see the updated equipment and massive face-lift the place got in the past few years. They keep the gym spotless and cozy. It's a smaller gym vs a gigantic Equinox or LA Sports Club but then again, it's a lot more personal than those other places. The trainers and staff know you by your name. It's not a place for you to show up and look pretty. You go, you sweat and work out, and you leave. End of story. There's no let-me-try-to-upsell-you with expensive smoothies or salads. There's no spa or fancy bodywash and lotion in the showers. It's a place you go be serious and work out. That's what gyms are for.
I've read a couple of the negative reviews that all seemed to appear within a few days of one another. And I felt I needed to step up and defend this place as a long-standing member. I've been training at this gym for over 5 years and often twice a week and I have never once heard anyone on the staff act or speak disrespectfully to each other or to a member. What I do see are the owners run around managing the staff closely to keep the towels stocked, the equipment and floors clean, and be thoughtful to their members. That's a GOOD sign. That's a well-runned gym and a well-staffed gym.
