I rented e-bikes on a day where the weather was on and off. I was given the bikes from Jean himself with three other friends of mine. Before I paid, I was assured by him that I would be fully refunded and that it wont rain (this is when the skies were dark gray and gloomy). Under five minutes I taking the bikes out (learning how to use them) it started pouring, less than three miles my friends and I got. Headed back, and I was told I was going to be refunded since we did not even use the bike. Jean told me I would get refunded in 24 hours, I was not refunded. Called him for four weeks, the people

The owner and the staff are critical and rude. Horribly overpriced and it smells bad. A pretentious environment. Literally insulting. I am appalled. I will absolutely never step foot in that establishment again. Do not frequent this establishment.

The top floor does have nice equipment and views, but the rest of the gym isnt like that at all. The staff is cold and unwelcoming. There is only one location to deadlift and its in the basement. The incline, flat, and decline bench are all in one machine and there are only two of them in the entire facility. I expected more for the price point.

Went in to sign up for a membership and it was like the woman at the front desk could not be bothered with it. I am aware I can sign up online. I just wanted a tour to see what I was about to pay for.

Was accused of going into the aspen location when I only had a basalt membership. They left a nasty voicemail without confirming it was me. When I called back and told them I've never once been to the aspen location they proceeded to tell me I was lying and they have me on camera. Come to find out it was a female not me on camera a male and told me they would give me a free month to my gym in basalt and the aspen location. This month I was charged and when I called the aspen location to understand why? They proceeded to tell me it was only for the aspen location even though I've never

Brilliant gym! Equipment is great and the gym is so big with plenty of space to workout, it has two levels. Lots of cardio machines and the weight sections are awesome. Highly recommend! Upstairs has a great view of the mountains too.
