Unique, challenging. Best gym we've ever attended. Small gym, but very well equipped. Smaller size = more friendly, close-knit groups and classes. Fun. Lots of free weights, which are incorporated into just about every class. Classes are never the same: you arrive not knowing quite what to expect other than that you will be tired and sweaty when you're done. Trainers will modify weights and routines for people with different abilities, but in a manner that everyone can still work together. Top-of-the-line treadmills, rowers, ski ergs, assault bikes. Great staff who know how to push people without being over-the-top cheesy, like with some of the national chains.
Quick digression:
First, my wife attended many other gyms before finding this one. Wasn't thrilled with any of them. I don't normally go to gyms as I feel that I was doing more on my own than what I was paying for at a gym: they just didn't do anything for me other than take my money. My wife found this one, was very happy (finally!), talked me into going, and I've been attending since then. Second, I was having severe knee issues over the last couple of years. Doctor visits, even visits to an orthopedic surgeon resulted in nothing other than "stay off your feet for a few weeks" . I'm too active to just sit around and do nothing. Within a few days of starting classes, Junior (lead trainer/owner), asked if he could take a quick look at my knees/legs. He immediately recognized the issues, and recommended some options. My training and stretching routines during the classes were also modified until my knees started improving. Within 4 months, I went from barely being able to get up, to doing walking , then running and even jumping.... back to normal! He knows what he's talking about, and I'm proof.
And btw, their rates (especially for couples) are very good, also better than any others that we found. Couldn't recommend more highly.
