Tips for University Fitness
Cheap, old, and hidden fees.... This is a bare-bones gym. Decent, but limited free-weight room and old machines, but good hours. If you need a 24 hour gym and are in the area, you may want to look at it. However, a BIG warning. Their contract is restrictive. Like most gyms where you pay month-to-month, you will pay a sign-up fee, transaction fee, first month and last month. HOWEVER, when you cancel they will charge you one more month and then apply your last month. I cancelled three weeks before the month period ended and STILL was charged for another month after cancellation. The last month's charge wasn't even "applied" until seven weeks after my written cancelation. Can you spell R-I-P-O-F-F? If you're near it, go to Mieko's in Lake City. Their contracts are clearer, there are no hidden fees, the machines are newer, the free weights better and there are even classes if you're into that. The hours are pretty good, too.

The club is not 24/7. The equipment appears old and the club seems to be unclean. The change room for men is particularly smelly and dirty.
The nearby YMCA is much better.
Inexpensive...the only advantage.
My first impression was that most of the gym's equipment (especially the cardio/treds) seemed to be relics of the early 90s. Two pieces of equipment had "Out of Service" signs taped to them. The place was reasonably clean, but still smelled suspiciously of sweat and mold. The men's bathrooms reeked of urine and sweat.
The sales pitch was ridiculous. The owner was needlessly aggressive and when I asked him about the $39 enrollment fee and the separate $30 processing fee, he became irritated. When I told him I wanted to think about it, he became even less friendly. He obviously didn?t really care whether I bought from him or not.
Needless to say, I took my business elsewhere. $29 a month is certainly tempting. However considering the quality of the facilities and the staff, I would much rather spend an extra $10/month elsewhere for a better selection of machines and cleaner faculties.
Easy place to work out. Good selection, great location. Friendly staff, easy in and out. Great updated equipment. Clean locker rooms and showers. Nice place to spend your workout sessions, every day.
