I just joined this gym and it is very well kept. I signed up for the $20 membership in order to use the massage chairs. Just so you know, there is a 5 minute time limit on the chairs and beds. You have to use your membership card to sign up for an appointment to use them. They're nice but I wish they gave you at least 10 to 15 mins. So Maybe think twice about the plan you want because this is year long contract. However, I have enjoyed my first few trips in. My one major complaint is people camping out and playing on their phones in the 30 min circuit area. The circuit area is perfect for me but I can't use it effectively when people are using it as a hide out.

Great place to workout, great price, and very close to where I live! Employees are very nice, and the gym is always clean. I prefer coming at midnight since there’s hardly anyone there. Overall I always have a good work out and great experience every time I come in.

Really like this location. Good equipment and Black Card side is great. However the staff could use a pep talk. None of them that I have encountered seem to care about their jobs or the customers. It's okay to smile and acknowledge people standing in front of you guys...

Looks like it's ready to go in the next week or so, it's in a great location (for me). Located in the old failed Staples location behind Jamba juice and Denny's.

Very friendly and heavy-friendly environment. Most other gyms don't have inviting atmospheres for heavyset people. The price is amazing!

Brand new gym in North El Monte across the street from the Honda dealership. Everything feels and smells new and the crowds haven't been to bad so far. It is a little smaller than im used to for a gym, but it has mostly everything you need if you are looking to get in shape.

The gym is clean and although is not that big of a place there's plenty of equipment to use, it can get crowded sometimes but it doesnt interfere with your working out. Probably the only thing that I don't like is some associates they don't have a positive attitude.

Place is brand new which is nice and some of the staff are also new and they are nice but there at least a few employres here that obviously hate there job and treat patrons like garbage. It is in El Monte so a lot of the patrons are jerks as well. If you go here it shouldn't be a big problem but I would suggest a better location like Alhambra.
