I've been going for more than a decade and a lot of the machines are the same as when I started. Many are showing their age, but they still work. They've definitely let the place deteriorate from its pre-COVID state, but you can get a year for under $250 so it's hard to complain.

I moved to this gym from Equinox a few years ago and put the extra $200/month in my 401(k). When I retire in 25 years, that will be more than 100k. Of course, Equinox is nicer. But not that much nicer.

I just use the gym for basic weightlifting, and this is more than sufficient. The locker room is not the cleanest, but I live nearby and shower at home.

There are a decent number of high school and college students but I’ve never had a problem with it.

I checked Yelp and the reviews from the past few years are awful - does not sound like the gym I remember. I know that Yelp is not always representative. Interested in opinions of those who currently go there. If it really is that bad, what are better alternatives in the area? Not looking to pay $250/month for Lifetime. I just need weights and basic cardio machines.


Slightly off topic but I am shocked that people would pay $250/month for a gym. Is the difference really worth 10 times the cost?

No it won't shut down. After COVID they took longer to reopen because they were renegotiating their lease, or so I heard. I also head it was good for 10 years.


Agree. It must be a cash cow. I’ve been going there for well over a decade and I think that all of the weight machines I use are the same as when I joined. They mostly work fine, but are definitely showing wear.

If you go in the morning before work, it is an adequate gym at a great price. But as others have said, it is a nightmare later in the day and you’d be better off at Golds or Onelife, which also are crowded but not as bad.

What are people paying now? I have been a member since they opened I probably pay way too much at $45/month


If you let your membership expire, they will let you rejoin for one year prepaid $250.


I feel like a sucker. I am on a month to month plan.
