What do you like about our programs and activities?

I have only used the weights and cardio.
So far I like it much better than the other gyms around. The temperature is good, the air and cleaner, etc.
Some of the machines drag a bit, could use some lubrication or cleaning. But most are good.
Generally a good atmosphere.
