I'M BAAACCCCK!

by JZinNL at Citysearch

OK...I was a former member who left the gym when my trainer departed...I'm the type of fitness client that needs someone to hold me accountable and focused for my time in the gym. I'm easily distracted.

I rejoined about 2 months ago (September '09) when I learned of the $19.99 promotion (which allows access to the gym and it's machines. Classes, tanning, training are all add-ons. I believe yoga is also an additinal cost) that was being offered and thought I'd minimally use the gym for cardio since I already had a gym membership in CC...but then took a class instructed by Dwayne T. and haven't looked back!! Have only taken the boot camp classes taught by Dwayne and it's a serious, no-nonsense workout. I leave in a pool of sweat, exhusted, but feeling AMAZING. SInce then, I cancelled my other gym membership and am solely working out here.

The gym has changed alot since I first worked out here 18 months ago. The "contract" others complain about has been altered since I am significantly paying less than I did previously. The juice bar is now operating-although I have not used it.

I agree with others, the gym is huge, lots of space to work out and I've never had to wait for a machine or piece of cardio equipment ever. Flat screens on the cardio equipment are also a plus. Front desk staff are friendly. Locker room is clean.

I've also begun working out one-on-one with Dwayne and after working out with three others trainers in the city, Dwayne is what I've been looking for: a true professional, on-time, educated, dedicated and focused on YOU and YOUR fitness goals. His workouts are INTENSE, pushing you to your limit, changing each session to prevent repetition and keeping you thinking as to what will come next. Just like his classes, it's a no-nonsense workout. As long as Dwayne is there, I am there.

My only con is that free parking in their lot is limited during peak times-meter parking is always available (when I've been there) on the street.

I say give it a try...

• Pros: Fanastic Trainer, Good Classes, Machine Availability
• Cons: Limited Free Parking During Peak Periods

Awesome local gym

City Fitness is an awesome gym. The staff is very friendly and it is definitely a family oriented gym. All of the equipment is new, each peice of cardio equipment has a personal flat screen tv and they have great classes. The juice/protein bar is a great plus too. The prices are cheap! Also, tanning (which is a big plus for me) is only 10.00 a month. They open at 5am and close at 11pm so there are no constraints on when I can go. It's overall a great enviornment. The classes are fabulous and I have never waited in line for equipment. Great place!

• Pros: juice bar, experienced trainers, classes, hours, low prices

Great local gym with most of the amenities that you need!

Just an all around great gym to work out in. Great classes of all kinds to take (which is always a huge plus!!). Freindly staff (definitely important!). The members/crowd is good too (not pompus, annoying, or totally full of themselves).

In a nut shell, like I said, an all around good gym!
