“The facility was clean, and the volleyball courts were arranged in a fashion that maximized the space; as well as, allowed for social distancing.”

From the reviews

Decent gym. Basketball courts are usually full. Workout equipment is aged but still efficient, some of the machines occasionally go out of order. The workout classes are quite enjoyable and they also offer personal trainers that can assist you in achieving your goals.

★★★★☆ — Mike, Jan 2019

Love it. Indoor track, wipes to clean equipment, free move section, weight section ,treadmills and other cardio machines and plenty toning machines if you don't necessarily like lifting weights. 😊 Plus my friend Rachel works there, and she's HOT!!! 😁😁😁
