Thanks for all the input everyone. In case any future readers want to know, I went there last night and did not see it as badly as all the negative reviews had led me to expect. I dealt with two people, both of whom were pleasant and attentive with no hard sell. It didn’t strike me as unusually dirty, just a typical chain gym. Could certainly have been a little nicer but wasn’t off-putting to me. I didn’t try every piece of equipment but I didn’t see any out of order signs either. I was there on a Friday evening just after five and it was busy but not uncomfortably so. I took them up on the offer of a free pass, which they extended from a couple of days to a full week after I informed them I was concerned about how busy it would be on weekdays. I’ll give it a shot and revise this post if I decide not to join, but I’m pretty sure I will. It’s not the prettiest gym but it has what I want and is super convenient for me so I’m hopeful.
