David, who is the general manager is a fast talking salesman if I've ever seen one. There is a high pressure sale to sign a contract, to work out in a facility that is as expensive as golds without offering nearly as many services.\r
I did like that there was a one time fee to be able to use the tanning, other location (which I tried, and couldn't get into), classes and a t-shirt instead of having a recurring monthly fee.\r
They have a single squat cage that broke the first time I tried to use it. There are bench press stations, which is very odd for a commercial gym and makes it very difficult to get through your work out if you have to do multiple exercises in the squat cage. For example, me and my girlfriend do an exercise routine that involves squatting, bench pressing and deadlifting, and this lone squat cage is the only place to do any of those exercises in the entire place. There is no way to do dips in this gym either.\r
The cardio equipment faces a few TVs.\r
I'm cancelling my membership inside their ""3 day cancellation period"" that David told me I'd ""get all my money back from"" but after reading the fine print on my contract, I'm out a good bit of coin to not have to come back here and hate my workout experience for the next year. The 21 hour a day gimmick seemed good, but I go to the gym at the same time daily, so it's not a big perk.\r

EDIT: This is months and months later and I'm STILL fighting with them to get myself and my girlfriends accounts refunded and to stop being charged. The next step is going to be litigation to get it straight, even if you do cancel within your contractual period, count on having to go to court to get them to stop charging you.
Pros: 21 hours a day access
Cons: Staff, size, variety of equipment
