Solid Gym. I only come here for Kettle Bell classes, but I definitely get a great workout and get my money's worth. Coach knows what he's doing. It's not a flashy gym that you see a lot of (read: Planet Fitness), but it has everything you need to get stronger, and has a great staff. Has more of a personal and friendly feel to it. Going to be looking into their boxing programs more in the future.
