Thoughts:
all was ok for my year and a half membership. the owner was always kind of weird to see around but the probel came when cancelling my membership. I was long past my year contract and was on a month to month plan. I went in 2 different times to cancel and both times was told "ohhh you have to see the boss and he is busy right now". you could say. oh well maybe he was actually busy. but I would tell them im here to cancel my account, they would call him in his office and then tell me ohhh hes too busy right now. which is insane. I did this twice and then decided instead of biking all the way there for nothing I would call ahead of time. I called 2 different times and never recieved a call back from the owner. I finally went in one more time and happened to catch him standing in the lobby. I cancelled the account with one of his workers which was no problems. until the next month I was billed again. I was supposed to recieve 2 FREE MONTHS AT THE END OF MY MEMBERSHIP. which I DID NOT. which is ridiculous! and then i was billed for the next month anyways. I called them a few times about this of course and got nothing but ridiculous fake answers and lies about how i had to pay one last month. or ohhh noo that was for the previous month. which isnt true since I was paying for a month at the beginning of THAT month. they lied to me. they billed for an extra month. I DIDNT RECIEVE MY 2 FREE MONTHS. now I have called visa and am going through an investigation to get my $70 for december back. I emailed them and called them tons of times. never recieved a call back or anything. This owner is a complete j@!%!*s. MONEY MONEY MONEY. anyone looking for some LEGIT and no bull. dont go here. no way!

Owner is a chauvinistic tyrant who speaks down to female employees (think Mad Men) and is very rough and intimidating even to me, a 6-foot tall man. Staff terrified of him, just ask for a second towel and see them sweat before saying no. Great design (exposed brick, large windows). Showers not so clean, got athelete's foot for first time ever in my 15 years over 10 different gyms. Also takes... more
