Facilities are nice, staff is excellent. This unfortunately does nothing to change the fact that at least any time in the evening it's really overcrowded, especially in the weight room. If you wanna casually lift some weights after work or dinner, you best be prepared to scrounge for what little equipment you can use amongst a sea of thugs, and chest-pounding mountain-men types. Does not at all have a comfortable family vibe upstairs. The staff is very friendly, but none of them ever seem to be upstairs patrolling, or enforcing rules. There used to be a little, old lady who walked around up there and kept people in line, but haven't seen her in a long time. Same goes for the track, always people stopping on the track to talk, kids running the wrong way, nobody does anything. Oh, and even with the new lot, parking is an exercise in rage control. As well, the child watch you count on so you work-out is more and more just 'Full, sorry" I like the possibilities of the place, but I doubt we will renew if it doesn't change drastically, and soon.
