I would not recommend. For months I had people turning the lights off and on, on me in the restroom and I contacted the VP and the police and the police even drove away. It really is a members only gym regardless if you pay or not. Then their banking system never took my last and final payment out and after being denied access to the gym for a whole month their VP contacted me asking for the remaining balance and harassed me over what she claimed to be late charges. A definite no.

Pretty awesome place, usually pretty quiet, unless there's a lot of people there, then it's a fun atmosphere to see people train... Old school kind of gym which is awesome to me... Reasonable membership for a 24/7 gym, actually really happy there

Went to this gym for about 9 months dropping $5 everytime I visited. I would go 3 to 5 times a week. I started to stretch when I was rudely approached by someone there and was told I had to leave if I don't pay or get a membership. I would sometimes drop a $20 off if i forgot to pay and this had never been a problem. I told him then sign me up for a membership but he kept talking to me as if I was his child in a demeaning way and ignoring my request all together. The ONLY REASON why i didnt have a membership was because rarely is anyone in the gym. He did all this in front off a recovery meeting while 80% of the people never spent a penny there. I was spending easily close to $100 a month on "Guest" Passes. Funny how no one cared to ask Qabout a membership until a day I forgot my wallet.
