I live nearby, so this gym is great for me because they're close, they have parking, and they're cheap (I pay $18/month). However, I signed up for a trainer, and he was terrible. He'd lose count constantly, he wasn't sure what we'd done before (despite writing it down), and he was terrible at spotting (generally way too much). Also, I tried one yoga class, but you can still hear the booming music outside, it's clear you're in the aerobics rooms, and a trainer even came in to grab some mats while we were in a pose - so not exactly the relaxing yoga you'd find at a dedicated studio... All-in-all, the staff is nice and the equiptment I use is fine... but they have a low bar for staff training. I even heard one staff member say they were exploring letting the trainers teach yoga (despite having no training)!! That just goes to show the low bar... My girlfriend is a member of a new 24 Hour Fitness, and they have much better machines (100% of machines have private TV screens, etc).
Pros: price, parking
Cons: poorly trained trainers
