Pros: 24 hours including the pool (!!), hot tub, gendered steam room, sauna, tanning beds; lots of racket ball courts, mostly free classes, nice people and trainers, variety of facilities; I think there's at least a small women's-only area; an outdoor area in warm months, generally very clean; limited hours 'Pub in the Club' is a friendly bar in the middle, large parking lot, 24-hour desk staff, towel service, changing booths available in the pool besides the large locker areas w/free shaving supplies downstairs (men's side anyway). Cons: not cheap-more like a cell phone bill than most gyms-very poor wheelchair/mobility issue access (lots of stairs, at least if you want to use the locker rooms), group showers, usually an older white crowd often running Fox on the TVs complaining how blimps are in decline these days. Pool shower has no heat.
Overall a pretty good gym and likely the only 24-hour pool in town.
