About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This gym offers gender-specific traditional saunas and steam rooms within the men's and women's locker rooms, providing dedicated thermal therapy spaces for recovery and relaxation. Gym members specifically appreciate the presence of both a sauna and a steam room, alongside a jacuzzi, in these separate facilities. The traditional saunas deliver an authentic dry heat experience in a controlled environment. The locker rooms housing these amenities are noted by members for being consistently spotless.
Atmosphere
The facility is described as absolutely massive with something for everyone, maintaining a club-like feel. While the building shows its age from the 1960s, the gym takes care to make repairs and updates, such as installing new equipment and flooring. The fitness center and weight room are noted as spacious and never crowded. However, some members find the facility outdated and dingy, and note it is not wheelchair accessible, with no handicap parking and small restroom stalls.
Staff
The staff receives frequent praise for being friendly and attentive. Specific team members highlighted include General Manager Bo Wright, who is noted for promptly resolving billing questions, Membership Director Will McCallister for ensuring member satisfaction, and tennis coaches like Michael and Thomas for their professional and responsive service. There is mixed feedback, with one instance of a complaint being passed off with "not my problem."
Additional Amenities
The club features a comprehensive range of amenities including a beautiful and clean main gym, a studio for classes like Kaiut yoga and Bodypump, an outdoor swimming pool popular in warmer months, and a full tennis club with leagues, drills, and events. The pool area is noted for having a diving board but no slides, which some find boring for children. There is a walking track and the gym maintains its equipment well, though some pieces are noted as being decades old.
