Training with Brandon has been absolutely awesome. He’s incredibly patient, down-to-earth, and really personalizes the sessions to keep them engaging. I initially started working with him to get into MMA, and even after I had to take a break because of an injury, he got me right back on track when I returned. Brandon’s teaching style is straightforward and super patient, which helped me a lot. He even noticed that I play handball and worked some handball techniques into our training just to keep things interesting for me. It’s that kind of creativity and attentiveness that really makes him stand out. Overall, he’s just a great trainer who’s easy to talk to and really committed to helping you improve. I’ve worked with a couple of other trainers before, but Brandon is definitely the one I’d recommend any day.
Posted 5 months agoI feel this is an excellent gym. Coach Kevin (great teacher and fighter) and all the other coaches I've met are great! Management recently did an excellent refresh but due to the very high number of members in this club, all the equipment gets a lot of wear and tear. On my wish list is a refresh of the bathrooms and sauna (thank you for even having one!!) and more vacuuming of the floors because they really need it. Overall, a solid 4 stars considering the affordable rates compared to Lifetime.
Posted 5 months agoBeen to plenty of gyms, and this one fails on so many levels. Now, I can't speak for the level of the classes/instruction, but the gym itself is pretty much impossible to work out in from 5pm-10pm, which is the time most people would be attending after working during the week. I have to fight for a parking spot most days, and have circled the lot for as long as 20 minutes before being able to go inside the facility. There are simply not enough spaces. Once inside, I am welcomed by blaring music and enough people to make me believe I was at a rave, not a gym. Because the gym peaks after 5pm, getting free weights or benches can be a struggle. If you go to the bathroom to change, be prepared for questionably sticky floors, water everywhere, and at least one stall or urinal out of order. I can't stress enough how loud the music is, so bringing a pair of noise cancelling headphones is necessary. Sometimes even that isn't enough to drown out the obnoxiously loud instructors who are mic'd up and cheering on their clients for literally everybody in the gym to hear. Doesn't matter where you go in the gym, you will hear them, so avoid the classes that go on at 6pm Tuesdays to Thursdays. Honestly, the most disappointing part is the gym is advertised as a 24 hour facility. There was a Saturday I went earlier this year when the gym typically closes early. The patrons and I were given maybe 4 loud warnings over their PA system in the last hour to wrap up our exercises. In the last ten minutes, staff turned the lights off in the restroom/changing room while people were still in there changing! I don't understand why a gym would be advertised as 24 hours except on the days where most people would benefit, on the weekends where they are free. I walked out the earlier this week because I could not focus with the sheer noise. It's beyond distracting. The membership is cheap for a reason. You'd be better off going somewhere else. Staff here is very friendly and helpful, so I hate to leave such a low review, but the place needs some serious adjustments.
Posted 5 months agoUFC - Trainers - Youth Fitness Classes! Great start joining the gym for my grandson and helping him just not on the techniques during the classes but building a rapport and assisting him with his confidence! All super trainers and staff. Kudos to Derrick, Larry and Spyridon for all their efforts with my grandson. The staff is very approachable and professional.
Posted 6 months agoThe music is so ridiculously loud it's nightclub level. With earbuds on to listen to my music I have to blast the volume on them and the gym music still comes through. I unavoidably have to take quick phone calls for work at random hours and I have to literally run to a corner of the bathroom, run out the door or to a corner in the juice bar to even attempt to take a call. I wish they would play the volume at a normal level. I like the gym, the equipment is recently refreshed and even before that was better taken care of than other gyms I have been to. 24 hours during the week is awesome but I do with the weekend hours were later because I can't make it here after work on weekends and work 7 days a week. This gym would be a 4.5 stars if it wasn't for the music blaring.
