Nice staff. Lots of classes and services. However it's on multiple levels and not exactly easily accessible. You must pay to park in the parking lot or park off site. This is located in almost a 100 year old building so done of the inconveniences make sense. But it is definitely an interesting location! It's very large with many amenities.

AC has been out for two weeks in the weight room. It's a balmy 75 degrees, which is quite unpleasant to work out in. Patrons rarely re-rack or wipe down their equipment after use. The staff is friendly but if I didn't live so close, I would definitely choose another gym.

My experience has not been good whatsoever. The service I have experienced has been horrible. I have workers embarrass me by being very disrespectful, I have had workers ignore me but speak to other customers in front of me. I have had workers come up to me and disturb me while working out trying to start drama with their attitude. Also I had have been disrespected by a worker who criticized my age and called me old. When I told him that he was rude, he said “I’m not rude I’m real”. That was the last straw. Guess what nothing is done. This is the Downtown Dayton Location. If this is how this company treats those who are investing in this organization as well as themselves, then it’s not worth it. I am upset and angry with the treatment I have received at the Downtown Dayton Location. There needs to be customer service classes there.
