Report
The Pulse Fitness is a pretty great, with better prices than the big-name fitness clubs here in Saint Peter. It's a small business with a tight budget, so while the machines/equipment may not be as shiny or fancy as those you'll find in a big-name club everything is in good working order and they'll get you sweating all the same. My one disappointment is the lack of a shower/locker room, it'd be nice to make the gym a stop on the way to work instead of a separate trip before commuting, but hopefully The Pulse will keep growing and add this feature for their members.
