Always like my gym. Small but friendly. Adequate equipment and very clean.Update: dropped 2 stars. They are having a pretty bad problem of towels lately. Most of the time, the towel shelf is empty. The guests start hoarding towels because of that which made things worse. The man's shower stalls also have drainage problem. It seems after covid things are getting bad.

I trained with Liz here using the proven results plan and it was the best personal training experience I’ve ever had. She’s such an amazing trainer— she constantly checked in with me, pushed me just the right amount so I’d feel challenged but not defeated, and was super kind, punctual, and responsive! Because of my prior gym experiences, I used to think going to the gym was only worth it if I left the building on the brink of life and death 💀 but training with Liz, I learned that it’s totally possible to sweat out but still feel energized & be eager to go on with the rest of the day :) Other staff members like Michael and Paul have been super helpful and responsive too. Due to my own personal circumstances there have been some complications with my account but they helped me through it very efficiently. As for the facilities, it’s very well-maintained: super clean, nice shower facilities, spacious locker rooms, and never too crowded.

Miss D and Sanaz were excellent in making me feel welcome at the gym. It is a small gym compared to a suburban one. However, it is really utilized the space well and everything is intentionally placed so you can work out without bumping into a neighbor. I was most interested in the pool and liked the Splish Splash mural because it really brighten the area.
