VASA Fitness

Updated:Still a terrible gym. Hidden fees and broken equipment.Terrible customer service. Been a member since 2016. Bathrooms are always disgusting. They want $25 to change your home gym. If you want to cancel they will charge you another $25. Gym is under construction. Several pieces of equipment are broken and have long wait times before they are fixed. Do yourself a favor and go to a different gym.

Been going to Vasa for around 6 years now. I started going to the Clinton one which I loved. When I moved up to North Ogden I started going to the Ogden Vasa and it was okay. Not as clean and nice and way more full of people, but still a great gym. Over the years it has become pretty run down and it is a zoo in there. I frequently have to wait or just end up leaving because the machines are broken or all being used. We really need another Vasa up this way. Just having one for everyone this far north is not enough. I know lots of people have gone to EOS for these reasons. If anything not having broken machines and a cleaner facility would do.

This could be a great gym with just a little bit of improvement in management. The facilities are pretty solid though they could stand to get many more plates. There's always a lack of plates.I mean... its not that hard or expensive to hire someone to clean the locker rooms is it? Maybe it is.... IDK.The men's locker room at VASA Ogden is far worse than the worst gas station restroom you can imagine. You enter at your own risk. The stench of years old urine on the floor could gag a maggot.I really don't understand why they let it go like this. Hire a cleaning service for bleeps sake.The other thing management could do to make a huge difference would be simple training of new members in the basics of gym etiquette. And perhaps ongoing reminders of etiquette on flyers and on the screens.And perhaps even get some trainers out on the floor and provide positive reinforcement of basic gym etiquette.There are too many members at VASA Ogden who are just jaw dropping rude and/or ridiculously tacky. And it makes for a tense, unfriendly environment sometimes.You've got people during peak times hogging multiple sets of dumbbells, camping out on benches taking selfies and texting.And you've got the extra special ones bringing dumbbells and barbells over to the racks/machines and supersetting so that they hog both the machine and the weights.Its really outrageous sometimes and it leaves other members just standing there unable to train.I like to superset just as much as the next guy... but that should only be done during very slow times in the gym when nobody else is waiting to use the equipment. If the gym is busy its incredibly rude to hog multiple machines/racks/weights at the same time.I worked in gyms years ago and positively enforcing basic gym etiquette was just a normal part of day to day management. It seldom needs to be confrontational... at all. It just need to be made clear, all the time, that good gym etiquette is cool and being rude is not cool. Nobody at the gym wants to be uncool.I know that VASA Ogden isn't the only gym that struggles with stuff like this, but they REALLY struggle with stuff like this.In the words of Joey Swoll - we need to do better.

Joined this gym because of some of the benefits it offered online, massage lounge, light therapy along with all the machines and training offered. have been waiting for 3 months for everything to be offered that is advertised. The reason for 3 stars not 0 is they are an amazing team of personal trainers that are worth 5 stars. Working with Brian and it has been great to go from afraid to walk in the door to confidence in what I am doing in the gym.

Most of the employees here are pretty nice, and helpful, but the facility itself needs to be better taken care of. There have been very few times that I have come here and not had a single thing that I wanted to use be broken. When I was first coming in, at least one of the drinking fountain/water bottle fillers was always broken. Then the outer thigh machine broke and hasn't been replaced for at least a few months now. Then when my wife and I went yesterday, 2 of the benches in the free weights section were missing major pieces and practically unable to be used, and the knee pad for the ab rotation machine was also missing. With how many people attend this gym and how much a membership costs, you would think that they would be putting more money into keeping it running. At this point, I am seriously considering taking my money elsewhere to a place that actually maintains their facilities and replaces broken machines.

Went with my brother for the first time in a while and it was great! They have great equipment service.

The showers in the men's room need to be regrouted it has a large amount of mold on it, especially in the corners. The HVAC system need a deep cleaning.

Vasa is a great place to go for a workout. Usually clean. Assisted weights are easy to use.

It's a pretty run of the mill box gym. The Ogden facility isn't horrible, but it's not great. It's hard to respect a business that has money to build brand new facilities in outlying parts with all new equipment but then leaves other facilities to suffer. Lehigh has a brand new vasa but in Ogden we cannot even get functional collars to go on the end of the bars.It's basically EOS's twin.One thing that there really is no excuse for though is just the lack of friendliness from the staff.The staff at Ogden is too busy with their phones and their conversations with each other to even acknowledge people coming in/out of the door. I've been to Vasa 15 times in the last month since I joined and with the exception of a couple days ago (in Bountiful with Miss Noelle at the front desk there,) I have been completely ignored or downright scoffed at bye by the front desk staff at every other Vasa that I've checked into. With that kind of customer service, you don't deserve to be in business. The bad part is that's the most simple part of anyone's job.Be friendly to your customers so they remain your customers.You guys work on the first day stuff and once you've got that mastered maybe then you'll be able to handle the more challenging things.UPDATE: They added a huge new room with a bunch of Olympic lifting platforms probably cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and they STILL DIDN'T GET ANY COLLARS.What a freaking joke! Also, if you'll see where the owner replied and said someone was going to reach out to me that never happened so they're liars to boot.

Pool is disgusting. I have asked multiple times to have it cleaned. More often seems like it’s too much work to be well maintained.
