UBF and UBS' success is due to more than the location. And, rather than worry about how much the owners may or may not make as the reviewer named catlas seems to do, realize that the reason they rent out the space is to offer even more amenities in one location. Cleanliness has never been an issue here, as their staff is required to clean the equipment all day long, several times a day. That, plus towel service, is more than you will ever get at a LA Fitnesss. The upstairs desk was removed to make room for more equipment, class schedules continue to be expanded with the availability of Studios, and the downstairs staff always says ""hi"" and welcome (and most even know your name if you stay around long enough). It is much nicer than swiping a card when you walk in. So, having been a member for years, I highly recommend it. If you are worried the owners are making too much money, or that they somehow ""lucked"" into their hard earned and successful business, then march on over to one of the national chains and give your money to a giant retailer. I am sure they really, really appreciate you.
Pros: Great space, Good classes, community feel
Cons: Only one location!
