You have to know what you're looking for, but I love this gym. No nonsense, hardcore atmosphere. Great camaraderie with other lifters. They offer great deals on membership, too.
Equipment is outdated. Some machines do not even have pins. Have to walk around taking them out of another machine. Leather in seats is cracked and worn out of most of the weight benches. Old equipment!!!! Female Manager and Tino are excellent. Not impressed with the other staff at all, if any professionalism was wanted the GM would reconsider hiring. Staff should be friendly and welcoming! For regular prices and maintenance fees facility is not taken care of along with equipment. Not the staffs fault. Owner has other Powerhouses clearly neglecting to maintain this one and leaving management having to work the mess out of this building and low quality equipment and leaks etc.
I don't care that it's not open. But stick to posted business hours. If you want to open later on a sunday, adjust your business hours so your customers aren't left waiting and wondering what's going on.
Had to edit my review... it's 07:45 on a sunday morning and they're supposed to be opened at 06:00. Yet here I am waiting in parking lot for gym to open...
Stay away of this gym! Manager doesn't decide anything! I cancel my membership and had to get my deposit back ($200) so I was waiting for my money refund for almost 2 month and probably would wait longer (but thanks my bank made a refund) manager Ali said that she's not responsible for any refunds and I have to talk to the owner. I tried to reach him for a MONTH (!!!) sometimes he out of country, sometimes he after 3pm! Each time she put a note for him w/my phone number. But I never reached him, and he didn't called me back. And also, Chris (guy, who's doing memberships) didn't cancel my membership (surprisingly) and continued charge me. Ali as a manager explained me that she never saw my cancellation form and she has no idea why Chris didn't give it to her. It's just a MESS!!! Just advice for everybody who wants to cancel-ask for any proof (copy or make a photo of cancellation). If no, be ready for surprising charges from your card!
machines are out dated and leather is cracked like everyone says. But you can get in a damn good workout if you know what your doing. It doesn't get over crowded during peak hrs and it's well maintained. If your looking for a pretty "box gym" like retro or planet, this isn't the gym for you. Staff is friendly and doesn't pressure you into sales. I personally haven't had any bad experiences with manager.
Most complaint are about b.s. shut up and lift.
I would have given 5 stars for more available space. This a great gym. The staff stays out of your way, customers don't hog machines and the equipment is clean and we'll maintained. The space constraint does make it a bit cluttered though. Some reviews talk about insufficient ventilation, but I didn't find it to be so.
