Really great for the price, it has the all the things you need in a gym without breaking the budget. Just be careful, it's usually packed between 4pm and 8pm!

Staff is nice. The one day passes don’t apply here, and you need your account number and routing number to join. That would have been nice to know beforehand. Most people don’t carry that with them.

They've definitely stepped up the look of the gym over the years. There's some upgraded equipment but the place still feels a little crammed in. Hopefully they can expand the building and weights section more. Still no squat racks :(

If you are seeking employment, I highly suggest you take your interests elsewhere. The management staff at this location is highly irresponsible and treats their employees with very little respect. I recently became a black card holder at this location, and I have not returned for some time as I have come to find how Amber and Greg treat their employees. The two of them combined create a work environment with exceptionally high turnover as no responsibilities are delegated equally between employees and it is often that one employee is doing the work of all employees on shift. In my short time as a member at this location, I have seen many employees come and go citing their unfair and unjust treatment while working at this location.While the gym is newly renovated, during busy hours it is impossible to get onto the machines you need to use because often other members will simply sit on the equipment using their phones, and the staff does nothing about this. This gym exemplifies very little professionalism and treats their members and their staff with very little respect. I urge you to consider this if you are planning to apply for a full or part time position at this location, or are considering becoming a member at this location. Remember, appearances aren't everything. I understand that to most this gym appears clean, taken care of, and the staff otherwise appears happy in their positions, but this simply is not the truth. Their staff is underpaid and overworked. You very easily could find another job making more than minimum wage while also being treated with more respect than you will receive from the management staff at this location.
