This place does not care about the safety of women. I’ve been going to this gym for almost 3 weeks (4-5x a week, btw) and have noticed that the men there are pushy and seem to enjoy getting the way of women. Fine, I can ignore that and get my quick workout in and leave. It’s the best option in my area bc it is walkable from my apt. Yesterday, I experienced harassment from 3 male gym members who gathered around me to demand I get off a machine bc they were using it first. Yes, I am serious. For background, I ASKED one of these meatheads if they were using it prior to but— that is not the point. The point is I asked for help from the staff (they laughed at me and immediately took the men’s side) then I ask to file a complaint with the owner who “viewed this incident on camera and he knows these guys and they were using it first” I am highly disappointed and frankly, disgusted.THIS IS THE CULTURE AT THIS GYM. DO NOT GO AS A SINGLE WOMAN IF YOU WANT A PEACEFUL AND SAFE WORKOUT.

This club is a fraud. They took $ 360 out of my card for personal training sessions which I never took. When I called, they told me they can not refund my money but they can always arrange a personal training session for me which they never did telling me that they do not have a personal trainer and the trainer who are at gym are from another company so they can not arrange my training with them. They kept saying that they can not do anything about my money. What does that mean? Someone will charge me for something without providing me with any service for it and tell me my money is gone? This is not how things work. I need a lawyer.

Attentive staff, great service and very clean. Nadia is great at multi-tasking. If possible, please give her a raise in pay.
