It’s sad to see a place go down hill because of management. Planet Fitness is better.

God blesses us with a beautiful Staff and a great manager. A truly nice, humble, respectful, cordial, young man on whom this place can rely no matter what. If someone refuses to show up for work, he does. (managers are on fixed salaries, so no pay for extra hours, weekends, endless weeks! ) Troy is always kind, positive, shows no sign of tiredness or resentfulness. TRUE HERO. True and true Navy Seal! Very impressive. I hope he's appreciated and rewarded. Well deserved! We can always count on Vincent, the assistant manager. Down to earth. Our reliable Mr. Price is as always priceless! People are commenting on how clean this place is and how sparkling are the used to be muddy windows! Thank You, Mr.Price! These men are the salt of the Earth ( Jesus said) a men of integrity! Our owner should be commanded for fixing the AC in this outrageously difficult times and prices. Thank You! Everyone is upbeat, enthusiastic, rolling, sweating, getting the best of life. Many goes home stronger and uplifted because of the nice atmosphere, clean and healthy environment and many great, uplifting friends! God bless the people of good will! God Bless the USA!

This will be a detailed review through the perspective of a guest that went during off-peak hours. I am a member of the nearby Planet Fitness and the Powerhouse Gym. The good: Maxx has a large, open warehouse-type space. Contrary to some low reviews, the men's bathroom was perfectly clean in the morning. The janitor does a great job! The people working at the desk seemed polite and answered questions quickly. The price points for this gym are very fair and comparable to Planet. I believe this is an intermediate gym with many options for equipment. The dance and cycling rooms are air conditioned and clean. The bad: Maxx has small air conditioning vents that do not seem to have the power to circulate throughout its space. There's only one ceiling fan near the ab section in front of the desk. If they were to install more ceiling fans it may compensate, but the atmosphere feels stale and humid. It felt dreadful doing free weights. I didn't try the cardio machines but it looks old and not cool enough to stay for long. There seems to be a lack of weight wheels around the bench area. You literally have to look around to find plates. This would be a problem during crowded hours. The bars are also scarce and older looking. Dumbbells go up to 100s. There's no designated deadlift spots. You have to take the bar from the only 2 squat racks. If you're an advanced lifter, there's no way to train here efficiently for strength if it's crowded. There's such a large space for the same ab equipment in the same spot. I feel like this place might be worth having the bench and squat freeweights for $10 a month and using Planet for everything else. If you dance, the room looks pretty nice. Maxx seems to appeal to the crowd that doesn't take strength and bodybuilding as seriously as Powerhouse but wants more free weights than Planet offers. From its price point I do believe this gym is worth it locally. I also believe the issues I mentioned make Power and Planet a better option for most people. This place would easily be 5 stars if they fix the issues even at the cost of eliminating the $10 membership.

So this review is solely about gym equipment. The employees here are absolutely fantastic, i was a retro customer and had to join this gym (planet fitness wasn't an option) joining this gym was a really great experience, I wasn't really a fan of the employees at retro, just very unprofessional for the most part, but I did love the equipment. Maxx gym equipment is OLD and I don't mean like a few Years old, I'm pretty sure the equipment they use was the very first round of life fitness equipment that I used 25 years ago. You need to upgrade your equipment and add more in because that gym is also ALWAYS really crowded with guys that look like they belong on jersey shore, so using equipment isn't always easy.
