Love this gym. It’s never really packed somehow and it’s always clean. You don’t ever have to wait on machines for too long if someone is using it. There’s also a private room that you can workout in that has a projector with tons of classes to do. It’s also open 24/7 which is great. You can come and go and not be bothered at all. The owner is also very nice as well.

Good equipment, bad management.
I’f you’re regular user, paying your membership maybe it’s fine, but when it comes to something unusual like you have to cancel membership, then you got some troubles, you have to pay fees, you didn’t know about. They refused to acknowledge what they did wrong, just stopped responding on my emails. Super close minded people, want just your money.

This was something that happened years ago at this point, but I just remembered it today randomly.
I was a member at this gym for awhile, was friendly with the owner when I would see him there and vice versa. When you sign up you get this "one time free guest pass". Ok cool, it was raining one evening and had nothing else to do, so I brought my girlfriend at the time and next thing you know here comes the owner (and his wife) screaming, making me go to the office. Apparently they have a sensor, that alerts them at home, how many people walked in per swipe. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong, I wasn't trying to be sneaky, I thought I was using the one-time guest pass. Apparently there is a stipulation that it is only to be used when there is staff there. Ok, well I didn't know that, honest mistake. So instead of trying to just resolve it (I suggested I will pay for the daily use fee for her & we would leave) but owner said no, she has to sign up for a whole membership plan. Well she lived over an hour away, obviously that wouldn't make sense for her to have a membership plan. Wound up just leaving and revoking my membership, was completely soured by the ordeal. Now that I'm a little older and been to more gyms (I travel for work so quite a few of them), I realize now how badly the owner handled the situation. I get he's trying to run a business, but to come screeching into the parking lot on a Sunday night at like 8/9 PM, come into the gym screaming at me in front of other gym goers and my girlfriend at the time, and then being completely unwilling to realize it was just an honest mistake and be understanding is a bad look for the ownership. None of the gyms I've been to in the years since have I had an issue with ownership, or vice versa, and they've all been more than reasonable/understanding when it comes to unique situations.
Despite this whole ordeal, the gym (at the time at least, haven't been back since) is nice and it's better than any chain gym you could go to in the area. Pricier, but it's worth it for the clean, riff-raff free gym that isn't ever too busy you have to wait for equipment. Just make sure you double-check any fine print stuff or you'll make an honest mistake and have to go the principal's office!
