Top notch gym and the best in town. Been a regular here for the past 6 years and it's been my favorite place to be. Overall atmosphere is incredible and staff are amazing people.
The staff are very friendly here, and the team on hiring I believe values the experience of college students, because this is a resource that is not only good for our mental health, but physical health as well.
