If you have a personal coach/plan this gym seems like a good place to go and exercise. Place looks clean and it's open 24/7 which helps if you want a flexible schedule. Parking was good and well.
The problem is the staff. It's that old story, they are all nice and smiles but after you sign an yearly plan all that kindness goes away. I was told the subscription was biweekly but they signed me for a yearly plan. When I asked the person who signed me up for more details I got a very rude "I don't have time to talk to you" response.
To make sure you don't make the same mistake I did: subscriptions cost $30/biweekly and that's only to have access to the gym. If you want to join a group class or have a personal coach that costs more, which makes sense and it's fair. A group class (4 people) once a week costs $90/biweekly. You need to have an active subscription in the gym to join the group classes.
What's is the catch? They have an app (AF App) and they told me during the sign up that it would give me a plan so I could workout by myself at the gym. However, the app only gives you exercises to do at home - meaning, if you want to use the gym you will need to come with a plan or use their coaches. The coaches are nice BTW, however they only offer group classes or personal programs. I can workout for myself, I just wanted someone providing me with a plan but that option isn't available here.
The gym itself is nice and clean. More cardio equipment than most. 2 stair climbers, which was nice. The weight section, not so much. Probably the smallest of any gym I've been to. 3 benches and people would be touching arms. Issue came when after being there for 3 weeks, home for 2 weeks and back for 3 more weeks; someone called me and asked if I wanted to transfer. I was confused since they transfer automatically. I said I'd think about it and get back to them. Next morning at the usual 5am, locked out. Which I was expecting, so I used my wife's key to get in anyway.
If they are that desperate to beg you for a $60 membership for the month you are there, then lock you out, despite the companies reciprocity standard, what other cons and short cuts are they doing?
