Objectively, this club kicks bootay. But I am never coming back here because you can't move an inch in any of the classes without getting kicked or punched by your fellow cardio-loving neighbor.
PROS:
1. The machines! All modern and new equipment. Gazelles, steppers, uneven treadmill, you name it, they have it!
2. They have a bunch of flat screens that are tuned into different channels for people who have different tastes. Shows include E!, some movie channel, sports, and CNN.
3. The pool! The steam room and dry sauna are located in adjacent rooms, and all areas are clean and pretty clear during slower hours. They have a separate pool area for 24Aqua classes, but it's kind of small, especially with all the patrons who attend that class.
4. Plenty of parking.
CONS:
1. Classes are ALWAYS packed. It's like -what the heck? It's late morning on a weekday afternoon but you'd think it was 7:30 PM on a Monday night at any class you attend! They have some amazing instructors here, but I don't go to the classes anymore because there are too many people in my way.
2. Weight room is big, but isolated and dark and all the way in the back. Frankly, it's just kind of intimidating for a gal like me to step up and do her thang. It's kind of an enclosed area full of men (I hardly see women there) so I do my weights at other 24 locations.
3. The showers have super galactic water pressure. Good for a rigorous massage against your neck and back, but very bad (and potentially dangerous) when the water is blasting in your face. The water also momentarily turns cold and stalls when someone flushes the toilet. Argh!
