“Also, the website says the gym opens at 11 AM on Saturday, so I trekked down to the gym to get in a workout only to find the gym closed… disappointed”

From the reviews

…It is still really good with an indoor track, swimming pool, and much more. However, recently many of the machines have been damaged and remain out of order.

★★★★☆ — Kelsi, Jun 2018

…From basketball and racquetball courts, to a track and yoga sessions, to a pool, sauna, and lazy river, to a rock-climbing and bouldering wall, and even weights, it has it all! Plus, everyone that works here is really nice and helpful!

★★★★★ — Joshua, Aug 2017
