Came in to use the climbing gym. Paid $25 for shoe and chalk rental. Upon entering climbing area noticed all rental shoes were in a pile in the corner, not sure if theyve been sanitized. Whole area very unkempt and decided to head back up an leave. I had only been in for 5 min and they would not give a refund. Avoid this gym, bad business practice.

Fantastic gym ; numerous machines, you can get a great lift in here. The only downside is the weights are poorly labeled and every single dumbbell is out of place on the rack. Had a great lift, got a 1 week pass for 60$

This place is AMAZING! Im here right now with my kids and they have a bouncy house and a heated indoor pool with hot tub! And it was open on rainy 4th of July thank heavens. I cant believe, after all the years visiting Eastham, weve never been here! The bouncy house though- thats what drew us in!
