By far the best inshape I've been to in my life. If you're a bodybuilder you'll love the free weight roo. They literally have everything and the room is huge. If your into cardio there's plenty of cardio machines. If you like circuits then they have a dedicated circuit room. Not 5 star worthy because the don't give towels. You end up sweating all of the place.

The gym is OK it has everything you need and an indoor pool which is awesome, my problem is the men’s bathroom and the pool area are always dirty!. It’s really disgusting, I don’t understand why they don’t clean and maintain the bathroom and the pool area.If you’re Interested in this gym take a tour of the bathroom and the pool area first, you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Workers are good and equipment is acceptable. The workers also keep the gyms, at least the one I'm at, really clean at a consistent schedule. Lots of cleaning supplies for you to wipe down machines after you use em. Atmosphere is good and socialble yet people around you focus on working hard. This isnt a gym for showcasing, this is an actual gym for anyone to go at their own pace.

Just signed up the other day for this gym, the staff seem a bit to forceful to try and make you sign up. They get irritated very quickly if you want to think it over about the pricing... I'm honestly just there to lose weight at my own pace, stop trying to make me get a trainer I don't want one... I already paid enough to go there for awhile, who knows if I'll even stay signed up to that gym, maybe just find a different one

First off, this gym has its pro's and con's but the positives greatly out weigh the negativity. I'll just get the negatives out of the way. It gets very crowded at times and tends to stay crowded for a long time. People do not put weights back in the proper place which is frustrating. The staff and facility really can't monitor that all the time which is understandable. Another complaint is that the Glute isolator machine in Atwater is so much more accommodating for those with short stature, I've tried both g st machines and they do not measure up. Having said all this, these are all minor issues. One of the biggest issues is that the bathroom needs better up keeping. Too often it is not clean enough. Despite this issue I will still go to this location.Now on to the positive! I really like the variety of this gym. Seriously, from all of the group classes, to the cardio arena, to the weights/free weights this place has something for everyone. Anyone who is serious about their fitness and/or bodybuilding and/or weight loss should be going here. The 29minute circuit room is nicer than other local options as well. The pool here is decent size as well. Majority of the staff are very friendly and welcoming.Overall a fantastic gym and awesome variety.

I love this place! Recently signed up. When i came by to look the place over the gentleman I was speaking with answered all my questions, and trust me I had a lot! He showed me all around the place and never once pressured me into committing right then and there. I went back 2 months after speaking to him and joined up. The trainer has helped me (not pressured into get paid time with him, just helped me when i asked questions) with modifying a workout due to health issues. The staff is friendly and polite, and I don't get that. . . uncomfortable feeling that I have at other gyms. All around an awesome place. Also, LOVE the pool at the G St. gym area.

nice property, but how many times do you have to run out of towels before you buy some more?

Just signed up 3 days ago and already run into problems with staff and also their kids club room. I paid for the membership already and want to cancel my membership. Is sad to see that you have to go through loops to get your money back and have to put up with a service that was not satisfactory to begin with.

I've been a member now for 1.5 years. So far, I've only used the weight room. I have these two complaints:Poor gym EtiquetteMany users of the weight room really need to be schooled on proper gym etiquette: return weights to their proper location when finished, wipe sweaty mess off equipment, let other lifters work in if they so request. Many users do not follow these common sense forms of etiquette, so they should be schooled in these things when they join the gym. I think it would then catch on more and more. This would really improve the overall quality of the weight room.OvercrowdingI know this problem is not unique to this gym, but at times overcrowding is an issue. I've been turned down a few times after asking to work in with someone else (see above comment), so now I don't even bother to ask. Instead, I modify my workout by using equipment that is not taken. Hopefully the new gym in town will help with this problem. I'd be willing to spend a little more money for a gym less crowded, but I've not found a better solution.

hi i am customer for long time i made a mistake put them on auto pay then i have to move so i went five time to club to cancel my membership. Every time they told me manager is not there he is the only who can cancel . They over charge for three months in a row. that is cheating every time manager is not there so you can not cancel your membership. I am very unhappy.
