Horrible, they had a so called fund raiser for the kids to get boxing equipment, after selling some coupon books they gave the kids, I've yet to see any equipment. Then when my son stopped going because of their inconsistency I continued to be charged. Talked to Malika numerous times about the money being taken just got the run around only when I was able to catch up to her. Only thing community they care about is their pockets

Our issues are not personal I never agreed to him losing the remainder of his classes when you called me. You just asked why he was out and I said he has a cold. You never mentioned he would lose any classes at all. Its fine you continue to make up false conversations just like your attendance records. You had no proof bottom line with attendance and you stole lessons from a baby.you can write whatever you want but you were unprofessional the way you addressed me and in front of another parent. For that reason I will not support your business and come back. 6 classes are 6 classes this is a business you are running at the end of the day and I filed my complaint with the attorney general of consumer affairs and the bbb for ripping off people for their hard earned money. If this is what your teaching kids then you should be ashamed of yourself. Your honest about at least one thing he did enjoy himself as any kid would but you ripped me off and sent s 4 year old home crying because you turned him away and because its allergy season for that as a parent and educator in my eyes that makes you cruel and coldhearted.By the way upset? Never! you were the one who was rude and nasty to me because you could not show my son attendance. My advice to you as a so called business to keep it is the customer is always right and book keeping is mandatory not estimation.

Love the free weights. Though they are old, the atmosphere is calm and relaxing.

It's actually almost unbelievable how bad this gym operates. The facilities are sub-par, yes, but I wouldn't write a bad review about that - the horrible part is their service to members.3 TIMES I've arrived to find the doors locked. This should not happen once let alone 3 times. While standing at their locked door entrance during operating hours I've called and received various excuses, "Oh we had to step out for a few min" and "I'm in a very important meeting". A MEETING!? Are you kidding me? How about you meet your members at the door, open it, so they can work out?!Save your time, save your money, do not join this "gym" and I mention gym loosely because infants could run a better operation. HORRIBLE.

you cant find the gym because its behind an appliance store that went out of business. no lights what so ever in the parking lot. I wont even bother decribing the actual gym..

I went to this gym awhile back until I moved to NYC. Everyone was very knowledgeable and Staff is always offering pointers and other help. Parking lot had some lights when I was there but it was hard to find the first time around. Other then that I had a great experience. Now that I'm back in the area I'm planning on joining up again. Compared to other gyms I have been to- I definitely like this one best. All the tools are there its up to you to make the results happen.
