For the price of 45-50 it’s a great deal. Towels and soap are provided. Because of Covid-19 you do it have access to the sauna or pool. They have majority new machines and good gear. The crowd here is a mixed bag some ghetto, some classy.

My wife and I were members and regular attendees at this facility for three years. At first it was owned by 24 Hour Fitness and we had no problems. This location has since converted into a Genesis Health Club and been renovated.I'm not sure if they advertise more heavily or what, but the place is always packed now. We go at 5:30 in the morning and decided to cancel our membership after waiting over and over for 10+ minutes to use the power racks. We opted to skip the hassle of waiting for people who do curls and bench presses in the power racks and build a home gym instead. Best decision we ever made for our fitness.Friends of ours complained that Genesis jacked up their rates, but we never saw that happen. The front desk staff were always helpful. It does seem like in the last year many pieces of equipment developed tears in the padding. I attribute this to the same reason we cancelled our membership, too many people using equipment without enough care taken by the owner to maintain it.Be warned that like most gyms, this place has terms and conditions for membership that are a mile long. We were told at time of signing that there were no annual fees outside of the regular monthly payment. Lo and behold, we were charged annual fees each year. When we decided to cancel, they charged us the next month's membership fees even though we had no interest in ever attending the gym again.Do yourself a favor and find a smaller gym if you cannot build at home.
