The only good thing I noticed is that the gym is fairly clean, and the staff are willing to help anybody who doesn't know what they are doing.
I've been a member here for many years and there is a reason for that... the staff, the equipment and 24 hr access. The staff is very courteous, willing to help show how to use the equipment and always coming up with new fitness programs to offer a variety. I've also done the personal training sessions with a friend the past year and a half...they are reasonably priced, breakup my regular exercise routine and constantly challenge/push me. The entire facility is always clean and equipment is updated when needed. The 24 hr access is nice bonus...I can go when it works best with my schedule. They also just started serving healthy, delicious smoothies. They are reasonably priced and great when you need something quick to re-energize you. I highly recommend Fitness Connection!!!
I went there for the first time today. First of all, very bad first impression. The atmosphere felt uncomfortable and awkward. Second, the equipment is dated. Third, the rules are ridiculous. "No loud breathing" "no cut off shirts" This is a gym, most people are going to be breathing louder than normal, and Yes, it is respectful, to wear "normal" clothing, but a cut off is a form of tank top. They are also uneducated. They offer a meal guide, which is posted on a wall, and says you should wait between 4 to 6 hours before eating your next meal? I am currently a student who will be a major in nutrition, and you should actually eat about every 2-3 hours. Eating every 2-3 hours with small meals will boost your metabolism, while eating small meals every 6 hours will slow down your metabolism. This means the person on their program will be in starvation mode. Lastly, their prices are ridiculously high. For an 18month agreement its around $50. (Im not 100% on the exact number) month to month payments are even higher!! For a gym this small and dated, their prices should be a lot lower. Also, I was trying the free 7 day trial, of which you have to set an appointment to go to the gym! A gym is a place where a person goes on their free time, and shouldn't have to set an appointment. After reading comments from the owner on the bad reviews, he clearly is rude and speaks from a biased perspective (clearly).
The Fitness Connection is a great place to workout! I've been a member for over 10 years. The staff is always helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The personal training is great, and they push you to try new exercises and at your level. I've also joined in the free classes that are offered with people of all levels and they accommodate everyone in the class without sacrificing a good workout for everyone. Working out on your own is also an option and classes and/or programs are never forced on a person, which is nice when you want to do your own thing. The "Shakes to Go" are also very tasty and a good option when you're pressed for time!
Fitness Connection is by far the best gym in the area. The equipment is clean, in working manor, and top of the line. Brian, Debbie, and Kim all go above and beyond to help each person individually. They even greet me by my first name when I walk through the door. The 24 hour access is perfect for someone like me, who works rotating hours. When I do go during "regular hours" I am always pleased with the staff. They even offer classes that are included in your membership! I am also in love with the studio where you can do workouts on demand, super neat and high tech stuff :) Highly recommend this gym to anyone .
