1 /5 James Davis: Unsanitary
They have microfiber towels to wipe down machines that hardly get changed out. They’re always dirty and soaking wet which is a much higher risk for spreading bacteria and things like MRSA. I’ve only seen one or two guys that change them. Paper towels would be more sanitary if the staff aren’t going to bother with switching them out.
Broken/Unsafe Equipment
Every once in a while you’ll see something new, but for the most part something is always broken and out of order. Whether it’s machines, the attachments for the machines or the water fountain and hand dryer in the restroom. And to top it off the water fountain in the restroom is the only source of water in the entire gym. They don’t offer an alternative when it’s out of order for weeks at a time. I have never been to a gym that didn’t have access to water, that just seems crazy to me. Also some of the equipment needs serious maintenance or at least throw some WD40 on them. There’s several where the alignment is off and could probably cause someone serious injury.
Lacks Proper Ventilation
You’re constantly breathing in hot, humid, sweaty musty, air.
Unfriendly Staff
Some of the staff are friendly and welcoming, some are just there to collect a paycheck, sit around all day and could care less.
Overall I wouldn’t go here given another choice.
Sadly this area doesn’t have very many options so this seems like a good gym in comparison at first, especially looking at it from the outside, but once you look past the neon signs and cool posters, you start to notice that it’s actually really dirty and falling apart.
