He's loving it!
The facility and the people
Weightlifting machines and childcare availability
Alot to do
I took a workout class the instructor was friendly and entertaining he made the class fun. This was my first time at this location the young lady was amazing she helped me check in and also walked me to my class because I had never been there and I did not know where to go. The gentleman at the front desk was not the same he seemed as if he was too busy to answer my questions and was not very friendly. Once I was done taking the class the young lady asked me how it went and she and the guy both offered me a farewell.
Loved the spin class I took and the instructor Dave Vargo. He recognized that I and several others were 1st timers. Helped with bike settings and explained how to for the class. He was excellent.
Basketball, Jump roping and the friendly staff and fellow gym goers
