1 /5 hurley graham: This gym is gross. And I mean truly filthy and disgusting. It’s never been to the crispy level of other corporate gyms, but this might be the worst I’ve ever been to. Sure for a long time they have had issues with many folk on the regular who never wipe down equipment and refuse to put back weights and the like. Those people have never been policed, though we all know who they are. That is a fixable cultural problem though. I hope new management can take care of such as easy problem to remedy. No one has tried in years, but it’s time. Now though, new leadership has taken away sanitary wipes. It was replaced with a clear spray no more effective than plain water. It did nothing. As you can imagine, the gym quickly grew smelly and rank. Weights and equipment became slimy to the touch. Having my own sanitary wipe on hand you can see the dramatic side by side of effectiveness (pics included). We began living in our bacteria and fungus. Complaints took forever for replies and fixes. They did replace the spray liquid with something slightly better, but still without the effectiveness from before. The district manager me assured me this liquid is effective and industry standard. Gaslighting that my eyes were lying to me and results I see from wiping aren’t really happening. Also a logical fallacy in comparison. It does not matter where it’s used, what matters is actual effectiveness and the pictures don’t lie. I wish they were truthful and said these paper towels and new liquid were simply just cheaper. You know, a simple, “we don’t care about your cleanliness and health. It’s a just a money decision”. Real talk would be appreciated. This is a small, but rapidly growing town and it won’t be long before another gym comes in. The town will surely remember how we were treated and disregarded and then leave. Then we can see this boneheaded financial decision in action. I will finish this review to drive home that this place still smells, it’s still slimy, the district manager blames it on the staff (I can share the email) but it starts from the top. Enjoy the array of pictures I took today and earlier this week.

1 /5 O B: I don’t understand the 5 star reviews about this gym being clean, it’s clear that these are fake reviews. The cleanliness at this location is unacceptable. Despite multiple attempts to reach out to new management and corporate, complaints about the cleanliness of this gym has fallen on deaf ears. The cleanliness at this gym is abysmal and the cleaning solution in the spray bottles are clearly watered down substance. There use to be multiple sanitary wipe stations located around the gym until recently they have completely run out of sanitary wipes. The photos below clearly illustrate the difference in effectiveness between the diluted substance applied to the paper towel, which fails to properly disinfect the equipment, and the sanitary wipe, which effectively disinfects the equipment after use. This is a fungal and staph infection outbreak waiting to happen. Management has decided to give members a big middle finger and do not care about the overall cleanliness. They have chosen for us to live in grime and squalor, and they do not give a damn.

5 /5 Fitonomy: Working out with Coach Jazmine was great! She’s very knowledgeable and understood my goals to put together a great plan together while keeping my limitations in mind. The exercises were challenging but do-able. Im proud of the work we did together.
