You need to have more than two recumbent bikes on the first floor. I bring my dad and I often cannot exercise with him because the second bike isn’t an available. I can’t leave him so I do t get to exercise
There are so many options for working out. The equipment is new and well maintained and Patty keeps the facility looking and smelling clean!
Great facilities, wonderful staff -- glad to be a member !
It's a diverse group of people of all ages working with excellent instructors. Having fun while getting stronger.
The instructors (Lynda) and her classes. They have inspired me to exercise regularly. I also use the bike/treadmill/weight machine room two days a week. The front desk staff is also great (especially Mary). I do wish the parking lot had greater capacity, especially in the summer.
Instructors are marvelous
