    Equipment is broken. Some members do not wipe equipment down after use. Yesterday seen a grown man using 2 machines at once take a young mans weights off and throw them on the floor as if it was his own private gym. Seemed he’d had enough of all the Edgar’s standing around one machine.

    Same disappointments over and over again. Broken treadmills, broken equipment. Only 10 functional treadmills the rest are either crooked, broken, or do not incline. They want to raise the bill $2.99 but still provide us with garbage. Planning on relocating. After 2 years of faithful support I no longer suggest this location or 54th. Management doesn't care

    It’s a good gym but it’s dirty and smells most the time. The gym gets really hot and the floors and equipment gets humid and slippery that you have to wipe your shoes to make sure you have grip. I’ve seen one persons foot slip on the leg press which is pretty scary. Air conditioning needs to be turned on or lowered to avoid all the humidity

    It is the worst gym you can ever go too. You can never find any equipment in a good shape. Always something has to be broken.

    Say what you will about the equipment and whatever else, but one thing is consistent; and that’s Carlos. Since training with him I made the most process I could have ever dreamt of, I don’t know where I’d be almost two years ago if not for him, best trainer there by far, hands down!💪🏼

    Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and well maintained. Other members are polite and practice good gym etiquette while working out. I enjoy my time spent working out there.

    I been going there for several years now I love the hydromassage bed as I'm in my 60s and it helps my back, also I use the weight training machines. I really think they help keep me in shape.

    The service at this gym is very horrible.The lady at the counter that is named alondra is a very disrespectful women she complains to much when we are just trying to workout. I don’t recommend going there it’s scary filthy.

    Since the rebrand, this gym has definitely gone downhill fast. Equipment is never clean and there aren't even spray bottles and towels available to wipe machines in the evening anymore. Random people are constantly snuck in at night, tons of kids who ego lift and break the machines which aren't tended to for weeks at a time. There's like one trainer, Carlos, who has got to have the worst gym etiquette I've ever seen. Taping printer-paper notes on machines and in restrooms ≠ staff. It's giving planet fitness; do better.

    I never thought that I could ever get myself to go to an actual gym. Excuses left and right, never researching info. Sticking to home workouts was enough for me but did not get me results because I had no idea what I was doing. Carlos changed that when I met him and he taught me so many things I never knew and needed desperately. My passion for the gym grew immensely because of the progress I was seeing with Carlo's help. He is one of the most caring people you can ever meet. He cares about his clients and wants to see them achieve their goals. No excuses, no weak mindset. He pushes you past what you believe your limit is. The 🐐

    Place used to be better but lately it seems it’s been going a bit downhill. Machines and cables are constantly broken for days without any sign of them being fixed soon. This is a problem since the gym is small, so if one smith machine breaks down then there's only 1 other one to use. Also a lot of the lockers are banged up to the point where some don’t close properly. The fact that they’re increasing prices makes no sense considering the direction the gym is headed.

    When I started to train with coach carlos is that “if you have time to go out with friends or family you have time for the gym so there is no excuse for missing or not going to the gym” Just know that life isn’t easy and you changing your life style and body in many forms isn’t easy ether. CHALLENGE YOUR SELF EVERYDAY TO DO BETTER AND BE BETTER. All I am going to say is that it’s worth it all even when you feel like crying when you start to feel that good pain because you are here to reach your goal and to do better every time and you have people helping you too when you are going something wrong or need help on the machines. Having a coach that helps you such as cares, checks up on your meals, makes sure you are feeling good or at least ok, believes in you, and shows you that you aren’t alone in any way or form is very helpful for your mindsets and makes you actually believe in yourself that slowly you see a good progress in the gym. If you ask him a lot of questions about the workout when he is training you which is a perfect time to learn exactly how to keep going by yourself and even when you are feeling down because as my experience I started to go more often. when I had nowhere to go so, I can feel better and make my day better I would go to the gym and blast that music and creative all the native thought to positive because I know if my coach would have been training me, he wouldn’t let me leave the gym with the same mindsets.

    Love going to this gym it is very clean and has friendly staff! Carlos is a great trainer and I recommend him if you want to make progress in the gym. He keeps you going when you do not want to. Not many people have that drive that he does! 10/10

    Great gym and even greater personal trainer. Carlos will push past your fear and help you conquer your goals: a month with him and I’m already seeing the results i couldn’t achieve on my own. 12/10.

    Trainer Carlos Having someone correct your form, be there to lift up the weight when you can't do another rep is amazing! Carlos is an amazing trainer. He keeps up and communicates with his clients. If it weren't for him I wouldn't have believed that I have so much potential and strength when it came to lifting weights. I joined CFX to improve my mental health and to this day that is still my goal. Along the way, I have learned so much, physically and mentally with Carlos help. He is the best trainer. Thank you Carlos 💪🏼

    Very bad service and then they don't tell you about extra charges. I lost my bank card and I missed the month and I called them to tell them and they never answered and when I went to pay 25 I already had to pay 150 and if I didn't pay they sent me a question

🫤 You get what you pay for. There’s no AC, pretty dirty everywhere, machines are constantly broken, treadmills are from 1992. They took away all dumbbells. It’s bizarre that a gym doesn’t have dumbbells available. No hair dryer in the locker room. Most of the members are ignorant, they don’t wipe mach...
