3/5 Matt D. 2 years ago on Google
I've
been
a
member
of
the
Princeton
Club
for
about
four
years.
I
work
out
there
often
(at
least
5
days
a
week).
While
I
want
to
provide
an
overwhelmingly
positive
review,
I
cannot
do
so
without
being
honest
in
my
assessment
of
the
club
as
a
whole.
The
Good:
-
For
the
most
part
the
gym
has
a
nice
variety
of
equipment.
This
applies
to
cardio
equipment
(stair
climbers,
treadmills,
ellipticals,
bikes,
and
even
rowing
machines),
free
weights,
dumbbells,
and
fitness
equipment
(i.e.
lat
pull
down
station,
abdominal
cruncher
machine,
etc.)
-Running
Track
-Although
I
don't
participate
in
them,
there
is
a
nice
selection
of
fitness
classes
for
folks
interested
in
them
-Indoor
pool
-Outdoor
pool
is
a
very
nice
way
to
spend
a
few
hours
on
a
hot
summer
day.
It
can
get
very
crowded,
very
quickly,
but
that
is
to
be
expected
when
you
offer
something
so
nice.
-Towels
and
a
cleaning
spray
bottle
and
cleaning
towel
are
provided
to
all
members
who
come
to
the
club.
I
think
the
spray
bottle
and
cleaning
towel
should
be
mandatory
(I
thought
this
well
before
COVID)
for
those
using
any
weightlifting
equipment
or
cardio
machines.
-Tennis
courts
-Basketball
courts
-Massage
guns
-Numerous
parking
spaces
-Nice
sized
lockers
with
no
availability
concerns.
You
can
always
get
a
locker.
-While
I
have
seen
reviews
to
the
contrary,
I
think
it
is
wonderful
that
the
club
opened
up
relatively
early
shortly
after
the
COVID
pandemic
hit.
Some
folks
have
voiced
issues
about
people
not
wearing
masks.
I
think
the
club
put
its
best
foot
forward
in
this
case,
and
should
not
have
to
resort
to
policing
mask
use.
If
a
member
is
uncomfortable
going
to
club
because
of
this,
I
believe
they
could
have
paused
their
membership.
I
think
this
was
more
than
fair.
The
Bad:
-The
basketball
courts
can
at
times
be
a
source
of
disruption.
There
have
been
a
few
incidents
in
the
past
where
fights
have
broken
out.
Not
a
good
look.
Further,
I
have
seen
Subway
wrappers
and
garbage
left
behind
on
the
basketball
court
area
on
numerous
occasions.
It
is
not
always
clean.
-While
there
is
a
nice
variety
of
fitness
equipment,
a
significant
portion
of
them
could
be
upgraded.
My
estimate
is
about
25
percent
of
them.
They
are
old
and
some
break
down
rather
frequently.
The
prevailing
perception
from
myself
and
a
few
other
members
is
that
there
is
much
more
focus
and
investment
in
the
outdoor
pool
area
than
there
is
toward
equipment
on
the
gym
floor.
-The
dumbbells
go
from
2.5
lbs
to
120
lbs.
This
is
a
solid
range,
however,
there
is
only
one
set
of
dumbbells
for
any
weight
higher
than
50
lbs.
-While
the
fitness
classes
are
a
very
nice
perk,
in
particular
the
variety,
oftentimes
the
music
and/microphone
of
the
instructor
is
turned
up
high
enough
that
you
can
hear
it
through
your
ear
buds
or
headphones
on
the
other
side
of
the
club.
-Staff
courtesy
-
While
much
of
the
staff
is
courteous
and
listens
to
their
members,
too
many
are
not.
-Cleanliness
-
This
is
where
the
club
has
slipped
considerably.
it
is
a
daily
occurrence
to
see
the
following
strewn
about
the
club
floor:
water
bottles,
towels,
cans
of
energy
drinks,
used
rags,
used
towels
spray
bottles,
etc.
I
have
seen
instances
in
which
a
can
of
Monster
Energy
Drink
was
on
the
same
spot
on
the
gym
floor
for
five
days
before
it
was
disposed
of.
Another
big
problem
are
the
small
percentage
of
inconsiderate
members
who
don't
rerack
their
weights,
don't
put
their
dumbbells
back
where
they
found
them,
don't
put
attachments
back
where
the
found
them,
leave
plates
on
the
gym
floor,
etc.
(a
few
examples
from
just
today
are
attached)
Members
who
respect
the
club
and
the
other
members
they
share
the
club
with
should
not
have
to
clean
up
after
the
members
that
don't.
This
has
been
brought
up
to
the
staff
by
myself
and
other
members
on
a
few
occasions
and
our
ideas
(putting
up
signs,
being
more
present
on
the
club
floor
to
observe
this
behavior
and
correct
it,
and
reviewing
video
tape
during
problem
times
to
see
who's
doing
this)
don't
seem
to
be
taken
at
all
seriously
by
staff.
