Everything is good except so many equipments are out of services. Btw there are some guy who is maybe 60/70 years old , not working out , talking very loudly and interrupting people.

I love this place. I go all the time for the gym! There are a few machines I'd like fixed, but its a great price and I love going. Also free parking! If the parking lot is full, there is another parking very close by you can use as well.

Showers curtained off, sign says due to Covid-19 restrictions. The worker said they're "waiting to hear from plumbers and engineers about a plumbing issue." Same guy admitted the shower has been closed since Covid 2.5 years ago. Is it Covid or some mysterious "plumbing issue" because everything else is working just fine? Maybe those engineers will get back to them about it after another 2.5 years go by. Said worker wasn't a nice guy.
