I was there for a tour today. The installations were excellent and the pools and everything else. The best part though was the hospitality, the lady named Marina explained everything to us in great detail. And the young man George Martínez helped us with the process very very polite, and very nice, he answered all her questions and was a good help.Thank you gorge and marina For your excellent service

The gym is new so it’s very nice. My issues with the gym are not about the equipment or staff. My issues are Mainly about the policies and bureaucracy being such a pain. Such as the trial membership. My son is 13 and wanted to go to the gym with me for a couple of days. Vasa offers a 3 day trial membership and After I signed him up for it online when I came into the gym they told me you had to be 18 yrs old for it. Another membership hassle is the rate lock guarantee. I asked if I could waive the annual fee to lock in my rate if I didn’t care about my membership fees increasing, and they told me no. The gym is also very busy! I typically go around 10pm and even at that time the place is packed! The gym is only open until midnight, so unless you get there early for a 2 hour workout you might not get through your whole workout due to waiting on machines, benches, or equipment. Very open layout! Some might like this, and some might feel like you’re always being watched. At the end of the day. If you wait for them to waive the registration fees, and you get their basic $10 membership it’s pretty cheap for the amount of equipment they have. They have more than enough room to get more, and I would like to see some free motion equipment.

Vasa fitness is a local facility with great staff. The facility is always very clean, staff is always helpful. Jose is our personal trainer. He is knowledgeable, explains the importance of the exercise and eating healthy. He is also willing to answer questions via text to make sure you are getting the most out of working with him.

Love this place! I signed up for the one on one personal training sessions after I took a tour of the gym during the grand opening. Chris is my coach and he is awesome!! I’ve never worked out before so it was rough in the beginning. Chris is very knowledgeable about diet, nutrition and exercise. He’s always very upbeat, accommodating and encouraging, you can tell he really enjoys what he does. I’ve now been working out for 2 months now and I’m loving it! I like the way I feel and the transformation in myself that I am making. Thanks Chris for all your help!

I have been going ever since this place opened up and the cleanliness and service is amazing. The employees at Vasa are very kind, helpful and so welcoming! One of the staff in particular is Chris, who is one of the personal trainers there. He has guided me through my fitness journey and was very patient towards me with all the questions I asked regarding fitness and nutrition. Although he is not my trainer, he has treated me as if I was his own client with care and attentiveness. He’d always approach me in the gym every time he saw me to ask how I was doing and is willing to help me with any exercise I was confused with or needed my form checked. I can only imagine how he treats his actual clients. I am seriously considering personal training with him in the future because of it. Overall, great gym and I love the atmosphere here!

Clean gym, nice equipment, friendly staff, but good luck trying to get on any of the machines or squat racks. I haven’t been able to use the squat racks for the entire month of December because they’re always taken. The only way to can use any of the equipment is by standing in line or just by pure chance. This gym is way too overcrowded.

I've been to many gyms. Man does this place knock it out of the park. The environment here is just fantastic, the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. The setting of this gym just keeps me pumped up. It's modern and perfect for anyone and what their style of working out is. I love it! I'm 4 days back to back and I absolutely look forward to coming here every day! I love it!!! I recommend this gym to anyone looking to change the scene they are in and are looking for something that's not so traditional! I can hands down say I'm absolutely addicted to this gym! The rates are great, the equipment is fantastic, the cleanliness of the facility is exceptional. I never see any mess or dirt the staff is constantly walking around Checking things out to make sure they stay perfect!

Just started our membership. Seems great so far I was just disappointed with how busy they are, I’m not a frequent gym goer but want to go more often. I was really hoping to like get a tour and everything explained but the front desk just told me to sign in and go ahead. There was no time to talk to anyone. Kinda had to figure out it all on our own which I feel is a little overwhelming for a gym this size. We chose this place for the child care and that I can already say is amazing.

I love love love this gym! Atmosphere is always clean, music is on point and staff are amazing! I only gave it 4 stars (because I can't give half I would have given 4.5) because I would LOVE if the kid care was open Friday nights and a little longer on Saturday/Sunday. 😞I'm a busy CEO, wife, mama so I need childcare options when I work out. I pay for studio, PT, and I'm here taking classes. Hopefully they can increase some of these kid care hours. It would be so helpful for busy CEOs like me invested in their wellness!

I would like to start off by saying how much I love this gym! The employees are friendly and helpful. I have been going to VASA for a few months (since the pool opened) and it has been the best decision for me. I work with the BEST coach ever ( Jose) ! Because I can only do my workouts in the pool due to a bad back, Jose always makes sure that I am challenged, he takes the time to get the right workouts that fit my needs, he really cares about me and my progress! There are many wonderful people that work here but Jose is my favorite!My only negative review would be that the pool area needs to be maintained better.VASA has been a great addition to our area!
