It has mostly everything that you'll need. At the time of this post, 10-2-2016, they had 2 flat benches, 1 incline bench, 1 power rack, dumbbells that go up to 100*, a cable crossover machine, and about 2 of every common machine i.e. lat pull downs, cable rows, leg press, all that stuff.

There is an area for deadlifting, they pretty much require you to put these 6 inch green pads down because they get mad if you drop weights, even though everything is padded.

I was dumbbell pressing the 100's and had to use the same green pads because someone told me I couldn't drop them to the side when I was done.

*The dumbbells at higher weights are also absurdly long as in when you do a traditional dumbbell press with the 100's, your arms end up in a V when locked instead of parallel because the 100's are so long that they hit each other. It's pretty annoying.

They do have an indoor track but it's one of those tracks where 13-14 laps make a mile. So if you're doing any kind of long distance speed work it's kind of a pain.

If you can ignore that stuff then it's fine.
