The membership fee and monthly dues are higher than other local gyms. However, you do get a lot for your money. Flat-panel tv's hang above the treadmills and stairclimbers, and locker rooms contain beautiful wooden lockers instead of the metal variety. Membership includes the pool and jacuzzi, definitely a plus. Also, there are plenty of available machines in the post-work hours. I give the gym itself high marks, however they do use a contracted company for personal training. My "orientation" session ended up being an introduction to one or two machines, followed by an aggressive sales pitch by the "head" trainer to purchase future training sessions. It left a bad taste in my mouth but I do continue to enjoy the gym's facilities sans-trainer. My only recommendation to new members is to NOT take advantage of your "free consultation". You'll save yourself a headache!
