4 /5 Chad Brown: Price: 5 Stars - its cheap
Equipment Quality: 4 Stars - sometimes damaged equipment can take a few days to be repaired, but Ive noticed larger cardio equipment can be out for multiple weeks. Its likely related to ordering parts and having to wait or the inability to diagnose the issue quickly. Most of the equipment is aged, but in good condition and reliable.
Equipment Variety/Availability: 4 Stars ( I argue with myself between 3 or 4 stars )- I do find myself missing some machines Im used to having at other gyms, but there are alternatives that get me close enough to what I need. There are plenty of free weights and nice variety, but little space to work with them and its even more restrictive at peak hours. There are 3 cable towers, two of them are connected in the main gym and there is a smaller machine in a side room thats akin to those cheap hotel all-in-one cable machines. The all-in-one cable machine, the cheap hotel kind, is heavily used and the pulleys are frequently fowled up on one side ( left ). Im sure someone on the staff has the job of fixing that once or twice a week.
Size of the gym: 3 Stars - its small, which isnt a huge issue until youre trying to get a comprehensive workout around lunch or other peak times. Theres a single large room dedicated to exercise classes and a smaller room that has odd equipment. There are also a row of rooms that seem to be related to massages? I rarely see people in there. The size is small enough that equipment is placed close together in a way where if youre tall you need to be careful navigating to avoid hitting your legs and your head.
Staff: 4 Stars - they dont bother you, theyll answer questions, they greet you as you come in. So far theyre open at the posted hours, Ive never arrived and that staff havent been there during posted business hours.
Air Conditioning: 3 Stars - it just isnt enough or not turned up enough or the building is just old. The cardio equipment is lined up against the windows, where it is the hottest in the gym.
Parking: 5 stars - nothing to say, seems secure and available.
Other observations: There are weekly classes that seem to be attended, but no yoga classes currently. There are bathrooms, the bathrooms seem clean, with showers. There are lockers and a place to change clothes. There is coffee and a microwave, as well as a water machine with cool water.
