Omg I would love to give this gym 5 stars for a number of different things but after one of their paid TRAINERS, Keeyon M. Sanders decided to have a melt down in the middle of a session with me because I tried to explain to him that if he NO CALLED NO SHOWED to one of our sessions AGAIN I would have to take my money else where. His response was "I DONT NEED YOU, YOU NEED ME!"
I am only writing this today because he started an instagram page and is now POSTING me and our OLD workouts without my permission. He will not make another dollar off of my name, image, or likeness. Also nobody in the administration

I'm only rating 4 stars for one reason. No child care area for parents who may want to work out. Their prices are fair and the facility is nice, friendly and very clean. I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a nice place to workout and not feel judged
