Member for a little under a year...I'd read the negative stuff about billing (I think all gyms pull these tricks now, and I read the fine print in my contract...things ended logically and no complaints there).

I picked the gym because it was close to work and I could ride to work on my bike, then shower at the gym (plus workout on other days). That plan worked...except:

* All they do is mop. Constantly...No one puts weights back or maintains/repairs equipment - even stupid easy stuff.
* Lockerroom is COLD in the winter - proximity to elevator shafts and poor design?
* There is no hot water at the sinks - no way to shave except in the shower, which lots of people do judging by the razors laying on the ground. Gross.
* Equipment is okay but after switching back to another gym in my neighborhood it's a real pleasure to heft 'nice' weights and bars that actually have rubber grip on them.
* No one says a thing to you...sales guy remembered my name and said hello once...in 9 months. There was a very friendly guy at the front desk - he left. Everyone else mops or else is a personal trainer scoping for clients.

This place really needs someone in management to feel ownership and not look at it as a cash cow...how else to explain the neglect?

I didn't take any of the group exercise classes...those facilities looked pretty decent.

I haven't investigated other area gyms to know how they stack up...maybe gyms in CC just suck...shame. Glad I'm outta there.
