No frills gym but the prices are very reasonable. Phillip and Jordan were helpful at the front desk and the BEST MASSEUSE works here. Aaron Hanna does the best soft tissue work and you go through the gym to get to his office.

The gym is unique because it is in an old ballroom so there are literally chandeliers in the workout area!!!

I want to check out swim lessons here for the kids 10 sessions for $70/hr!

DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE TO BE CHARGED MONTHLY FOR A MEMBERSHIP YOU CANCELLED. Cancelled my membership due to an injury I sustained and I was charged 2 more months. Went in to discuss with staff because they don’t answer their phones. They offered to give me a 3 month credit - which I cannot use because I am injured - and I’m still getting charged!!! I’ve paid $300 to this crooked business after they told me my membership was canceled.

Been a member for a few months now. One of the best things about this gym is no sketchy shady contracts like I've encountered at other gyms. They were straight forward with pricing where you can do it month to month, up to annual up front, where longer terms will get you a bigger discount with a 30 day cancellation policy. Everyone who works there is friendly and it's pretty clean.

There is a pool, and free towels. I haven't done the massage or any of the classes yet, but really like this gym.

Swimming classes with Pawel are AMAZING. Cannot recommend enough. Sign ups are like concert tickets - line up 30-60 minutes early on sign up days. That said, the classes are calm, predictable curriculum, and my diverse learner has thrived in these classes.

Solid gym with older but high-quality equipment and plenty of machines and weights. The pool is well-maintained and the sauna is currently working after a time of disrepair. The staff is friendly enough but often can't answer questions or channel suggestions or requests - what you see is what you get. (Except the photos on the website. Some of that stuff is nothing like the actual club. Take with a grain of salt.) Very satisfactory club if your goal is exercise without frills.

No frills gym, reasonable member fee.
I joined to be able to swim, LOVE the pool.
Friendly staff.

Very expensive for the state that the gym is at. Everything is very old and rusty.

I went specifically for the pool. Different people gave me different pool schedules, which was very confusing on when pool is available or not.

Pool itself is nice, mostly clean. 18 meters long, half is 3 feet deep and other half is about 6 feet deep. Warm water, comfortable to swim in.

They have 30 days cancellation policy, so I went to cancel my membership and asked until when can I still access the gym. They said my membership renews tomorrow, so they simply won’t enforce 30 days cancelation policy, took my key tag and said I am good to go. But this morning they charged me again. Called them, they said sorry for mistake, but we don’t do refunds.

The cancellation quest will probably not be such a problem for the most people.

Very nice and clean gym but would be much better if there are more cameras for security
