Nice gyms the bathrooms were relatively clean. I wish the steam room and the pool were working. But other than that a great selection of equipment

Good gym with great energy and plenty of equipment, even though during peak hours I didn't have to wait for anything.I only wish they had a little better guest policy - $15 for a workout is a bit steep, considering they offer monthly membership for $10.Also, the advertised 5 free days is for local residents only. What about those who are traveling?Should have a better policy for that.

Love that gym! Clean, bright and with friendly staff. I only wish the class options would be better. There is hardly any classes throughout the day, almost none in the morning hours. The type of classes is also extremely limited. So for people looking for group exercise this gym is not a good option.

22 years and counting of working out...Fitness Connection may be my favorite gym! The price and space are second to none. IMO Hammer Strength equipment is the best ever made. Tried and true. The variety in the free weight area is tremendous!Clean locker/bathroom. The lady working the front desk in the morning is pleasant & welcoming! Happy to be part of the FC fam!!

Good gym as far as most equipment goes. Pool and sauna have been RIP since 2019 although they advertise these as amenities of the gym. It's been 4 years they've been saying it'll get fixed. Turf room is getting overcrowded quick with random stuff. Needs organizing and lot of random cardio equipment removed from. They stopped giving towels out with memberships which is pretty dumb too.

I have Gym Pass thru my job and come here or the one in RTP often. Today one guy behind the desk gave me a hard time. Saying it was showing up as a week pass. I think all their employees don’t have the knowledge of how Gym Pass works. I was embarrassed and he kept me up there in front of ppl like I was trying to sneak into the gym

Gym is fine some of the year but has horrible airflow and is VERY humid and miserable in the warm months. I’ve never been so uncomfortable in a gym in the summer before and they don’t seem to want to fix it. Sucks because they have the right equipment and a great location but the heat just ruins my workouts

Dirty VERY DIRTY. Gym equipment is dangerous and old and the some of the new equipment is cheap and not commercial grade and will result in injury if not careful. The bathrooms are DISGUSTING and the smell is bad. This gym was BEAUTIFUL 10 years ago when it was Golds Gym. Very well kept always clean and spotless and came with great amenities and solid equipment but it required a semi more expensive membership but it was well worth the money for the value and service. It had been a while since I’ve been because of how bad it got once Fitness Connections took over and Golds sadly had to give it up. All the members left after they lowered the cost and of course when that happened a different breed of people flocked in. $10 a month also comes with laying off staff, not cleaning and no maintenance, no personal trainers, horrid selection of clothes and energy drinks, and no good group classes….also my keys were stolen and my locker was broken into. Not only that they broke into my car and took money out and left my keys on top. This place is set to fail and is the only one left as the other locations have all closed…go figure. Your welcome

People complaining ,this is what $10 buy you.I go there in the morning, people are respectful,kind and WORKING OUT.It does get crowded in the evening so I decided not to go then. Guess what other " high end" gyms get the same way Gym culture will remain the same. Some go to socialize and some to work out. I believe to support this club and believe that It'll Improve over time.Especially when everything gets built up around It .Hopefully They raise the membership to $20 so They have reserves to Improve. Some to meet people's expectations.

This gym is going downwards, everyone is in the way with their tripods, no etiquette in manners, while others are hogging the machines, during busy times. And gym goers show no gym etiquette for others around them, or care to put their weights back. For $10 that is the crowd you attract. The equipment I would rate the cleanliness around a 5. There are better gyms around. I reached out to management and they failed to respond accordingly, I am glad I had cancelled my membership.
