Good amount of high quality machines. Good free weights. Good range of dumbbell weights, though only one set of each (from 5 to 100, jumping by 2.5 until around 60). Need more kettleballs, too few and big jumps between weights. Mostly clean. Mostly organized. Good pool. Doesn't get crowded too often.

Staff are mostly nice and helpful, though the front desk staff look like they hate their lives and it's a chore talking to some of them. The other people are all friendly, had strangers spot me a couple of times and they seemed happy to help. Sometimes teens (like 14 -16) come up to the gym, not sure if they're allowed to be there or what. Watched 3 of them try to set up a rack to do bench press and they just couldn't. It was embarrassing, I hope they don't hurt themselves.

Got a gymnasium, rock climbing wall, bouldering wall, a bunch of programs for both kids and adults, premium change rooms with a hottub, coffee, towels, sauna, etc. I haven't tried any of that stuff so I can't speak for it.

Decent price, more so if you sign up your whole family or are a student.
