They have a welcoming environment and the equipment I need.
I usually stop by in the evenings to run on the treadmill and strength train with the weights/ machines. It’s quite clean in most areas, organized, and friendly staff. There’s also many events ongoing for various members (kid to retirement age). I enjoy going when I need to workout after a long work day.
Interesting and useful programs. Fun instructors and informative.
Everything is always clean, well taken care of. Staff always friendly as well.
Staff and everything
I have only used the pool, but I love it! The only issue is the locker room is down 2 flights of stairs. It's very slippery and I think the floor needs to be replaced.
The staff there are super friendly and helpful! The way there just has a very nice atmosphere about it because of this. I love the two Pilates classes and have been taking them for years. I’m closer to another way but I drive over for those classes!
