Fitness Connection

I have been coming to this gym in the mornings and for the past few months, I’ve noticed that it does not open on time (5:00 am) during the weekdays. In the past two weeks alone, there have been at least five times where people have had to wait outside because the staff doesn’t open on time. Two of those times have taken place in the last two days alone! When they do open, there is no apology for the inconvenience. It’s just “enjoy your workout” as people enter, rushing through their workouts so they can get on with their day. I feel something had to be done to ensure this does not happen anymore. So FC Eastway leadership, I ask that you look into this and take action before you end up with more complaints like this one.

IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE THIS GYM 2.5 stars. I wrote the letters to fitness connection 4 years ago when the Harveys Supermarket closed down to put this gym here so I feel like an updated review is in order. EQUIPMENT: The equipment in this gym is pretty decent when you can find it. They do not have super high end equipment like some private gyms or bodybuilding gyms but they have enough to get the job done. Might not be quite as nice as a golds but blows PF out of the water. They do have some of the nicest treadmills in the city here. Very HIGH END. That being said their standard elipticals kind of suck. (they are residential grade) They did a good job getting a trap bar and shrug machine and now have plenty of attachments for their cable machine. Stuff breaks here from time to time like any gym but they do a pretty decent job getting it fixed. I wish they had more cable machines(JUngles) STAFF: The staff is very friendly but they dont do much. When I train at FC indian trail (frank-the mgr) is always busting his hump. I never see any staff do much of anything at eastside. TEAM cleans --- forget about it. Staff is always nice so It could be worse but they could improve so much with the staff walking the floor every few hours and putting weights back. You can never find anything in this gym and watch out or you will trip over the dumbells. The only staff member that works is the cleaning person who doesnt even work for FC. I walked in this morning and the kid didnt even look up from his PERSONAL computer to greet me. I think customer service has suffered everywhere though with covid MEMBERS: Overall the people at this gym have very bad etiquette. There are some friendly folks here but you can also expect to see people on machines for over an hour and people do not put their stuff back. Honestly in 20 years of going to the gym the members at this location are as bad as it gets

A few years old now. Still well maintained. Clean locker room. Friendly and helpful staff. Broken machines are promptly repaired. A few local gyms have recently closed which has caused this one to be crowded during in the evenings.

Good location. Always clean and I enjoy the classes as well as the gym floor. Parking is terrible though almost all the time. The womens area and gym overall is so tight there’s barely room to do things like jump rope, hop up boxes, walking lunges and other exercises that need space.
