I was originally a member when it was Peak Fitness, and in a short time, my membership was "sold" to 2 other gyms as they transitioned to new ownership. This gym is by far the worst it's been, being under Fitness Connection.



I repeatedly found dead and alive cockroaches on the gym floor, paper towels for cleaning the equipment were rarely refilled, and the bathrooms often lacked toilet paper. I guess we should expect that from a gym so low priced? Apparently cleaning is optional.



Also, the Wednesday evening cycle instructor played terribly inappropriate music during her lack luster spin classes. I'm talking 4 letter cuss words, and vulgar terms for the male genitalia. I pointed it out to her, as she told me she needed to use radio versions of songs. Her response: "Oh well"...then continued to use those songs in her playlists.



The manager, Jim, is the absolute worst part of this gym location. He left a message for me one day saying he was terminating my membership because of a comment card I filled out. He accused me of doing something I didn't. And even if I had, I would have had every right to fill out a comment card with feedback. And aren't they supposed to be anonymous?



When I spoke with manager, Jim, I explained that I had a rare disability that required me to get cardiovascular activity daily. His canceling my gym membership was the equivalent of subjecting me to excruciating pain. In the days following the cancellation, I was in pain so bad that I had to stop working before noon each day. I tried to call and explain this to him, and let him know that the comment card wasn't mine, but he hung up on me. I called back, and he refused to take my calls.



This gym is terrible. I fully intend to move forward with a suit against the gym for wrongful termination and discrimination against the disabled. Odds are, a new owner will be taking this gym over soon, just like it's been flipped twice in the past.
