About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This gym offers a unisex sauna that members frequently describe as overcrowded and often filthy to the point of being unpleasant. The sauna experience is a noted recovery feature, but its condition is a significant point of criticism. The gym previously had a functional steam room under prior ownership, but it has been removed and not replaced. The pool area also faces cleanliness issues, with guests reporting unclean water containing debris like hair and phlegm, and noting that many users do not shower before entering. A cold plunge is not mentioned in available feedback.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed. Some members report excellent experiences with specific trainers like Brenden and Eduardo, who are noted for their helpful and energetic approach. Front desk staff, including Rene and membership manager Jordan, receive praise for being friendly and helpful. However, other members describe encounters with disengaged staff, including front desk employees who do not greet guests and management that provides simplistic answers or seems disconnected from member concerns.
Additional Amenities
The primary amenities include a gym floor with exercise equipment and a pool. Members report a mix of new and faulty equipment, with some machines broken or requiring frequent resets. Locker room security is a concern, with reports of locks being changed on personal lockers. The facility has undergone a renovation, resulting in a bright, modern, and thoughtfully laid-out space, though some areas are noted as still needing finishing touches.
Pricing
Pricing is a point of contention. Members report increased monthly membership costs and mention surprise fees, including a $69 membership fee and an additional $9.99 charge for towel service that was not disclosed prior to sign-up.
