I have been a member of this gym for more than one year, and I belive it's gotten worse. It is NOT clean. Everything is cramped and run down. Two treadmills have been out of commission for days. There are often temperature issues. In the summer it was a furnace. There is poor ventilation which makes everything extra extra stinky. The upstairs weight room is dominated by roid ragers who slam their weights on the floor (which you can hear by the way while you're downstairs using cardio.) There is no availability of machines. I was there last night at 8:30 p.m. and had to wait. I was there today at 6 a.m. and had to wait! There are TVs that are positioned horribly so that you get a cramp trying to watch...not to mention that you have to read the closed captioning because there is no audio! I have belonged to five different gyms in my lifetime in different cities, excluding university facilities, and this is the worst experience I have ever had. The staff is not friendly at all. When I inquired last night as to the status of the broken machines, I was greeted with a blank stare. This place simply takes advantage of its location, and sadly, that's why I am a member. It's location is super convenient. I can only hope that with all the development going on in the East End, some shop will come along and kick their a** with a spacious, clean, bright gym.
Pros: location
Cons: everything else, NOT 24 hrs--closes at 6 p.m. on Sat. and 5 p.m. Sun.
