I
initially
joined
this
Gym
when
they
were
"Planet
Fitness"
then
Future
Fitness
before
the
well
known
Planet
Fitness
copyrighted
the
name.
This
was
my
first
Gym
and
they
got
me
really
going
on
my
Fitness
Journey.
In
a
full
circle
moment
I
moved
across
the
street
from
what
is
now
XL
Fitness
and
was
looking
for
a
change
from
my
home
workout
routine.
Wife
learned
that
XL
offers
a
discount
through
my
medical
insurance
so
I
joined
back
up.
First
the
good:
Some
of
the
trainers
are
still
there
from
like
20
years
ago!
Nice
to
see
the
longevity
and
I
recall
them
being
pretty
nice
folks.
The
gym
is
large
with
a
fantastic
amount
of
Strength
training
equipment,
free
weights
and
all
the
cardio
equipment
that
exist
in
the
U.S.
Seriously,
there
is
a
lot
of
equipment
here.
I
work
out
fairly
late
(8:30pm)
so
the
gym
is
not
crowded
at
all.
My
wife
is
in
there
during
peak
time
at
6
and
says
it's
not
too
busy
then.
My
wife
also
loves
the
instructors
for
the
classes
she
attends
and
though
I
don't
interact
with
most
of
the
staff,
she
seems
to
really
like
them
all.
Now
the
Bad:
The
Gym
and
it's
equipment
was
here
20
years
ago.
Not
much
has
changed
or
been
maintained.
The
paint
from
the
celling
is
flaking
off
and
you'll
see
it
all
over
the
gym.
Stand
there
long
enough
and
you
can
see
it
floating
down
from
the
ceiling
as
it
falls.
It's
all
over
the
floor.
The
cable
station
is
not
maintained
at
all.
One
of
the
pulley's
is
loose
and
the
cable
is
frayed.
The
mechanism
sticks
a
lot
so
some
of
the
resistance
you
get
is
not
the
weight
itself
but
friction.
Makes
for
a
not
so
smooth
experience.
The
plates
on
this
station
have
not
been
maintained
so
you
can
barely
see
the
Weight
amount
on
the
plates.
This
is
consistent
with
many
of
their
machines
where
I
can't
tell
how
much
weight
it
is.
I
have
notes
on
my
workout
log
that
says
8
plates
down
because
the
number
on
the
plate
is
worn
off.
Easily
remedied
with
a
label
maker
you
can
buy
from
amazon
if
you
want
to
save
costs!
Many
of
the
benches
in
the
free
weight
area
were
original
from
20
years
ago
and
it
shows.
Some
have
broken
handles,
ripped
padding
and
rust.
The
Dumbbells
are
a
mismatch
of
different
brands
and
styles
and
very
worn
out.
I
grabbed
a
set
of
30's
and
the
rubber
was
peeling
off
of
it.
Some
of
the
rubber
weight
plates
are
gnarly
dirty,
specifically
the
35
lbs
plates
for
some
reason.
These
are
also
a
Hodge
podge
of
different
plate
styles
that
have
been
collected
over
20
years.
The
carpet
is
also
original
from
20
years
ago
and
it
shows.
It's
also
not
vacuumed
nightly,
unless
the
peeling
paint
from
the
ceiling
is
falling
off
at
an
alarming
rate
because
I
see
it
covering
the
floor
every
night
I'm
there
(4-5
days
per
week).
Compared
to
other
gyms
in
the
area,
I'd
have
to
say
this
one
is
the
dirtiest.
Finally,
while
the
members
have
all
been
nice,
they
have
little
gym
etiquette.
Many
don't
re-rack
their
weights.
I
feel
bad
for
the
lady
at
the
front
desk
who
is
reaching
over
her
head
un-racking
45lbs
plates
that
some
entitled
member
left
on
the
machine
or
bar.
I
try
to
help
out
between
sets
when
I
see
weights
on
random
bars
etc.
I've
been
a
member
of
what
outsiders
may
call
"meat
head"
gyms
and
none
of
them
were
as
self
centered
and
thoughtless
as
the
folks
here.
You
literally
go
to
the
gym
to
pick
things
up
and
put
them
down.
So
pick
up
after
yourself
and
re
rack
your
dang
weights
people!
I
will
however
say
that
I
routinely
see
members
wiping
down
benches
so
that
is
awesome.
Though
none
of
these
are
the
people
that
leave
weights
on
machines.
All
in
all,
because
of
the
discount
I
get,
the
time
of
day
I
go
and
the
fact
that
I
walk
across
the
street
to
get
my
workout
in,
I
continue
to
attend
this
gym
as
it
has
everything
I
need
equipment
wise
and
it
is
convenient.
If
I
were
paying
full
price
or
had
to
drive
there,
there
would
be
much
better
options
in
the
area
with
regard
to
facility
and
equipment
maintenance
and
cleanliness
for
the
same
price.
Given
all
the
cleanliness
complaints
I
see
here,
I'm
hoping
the
current
owners
are
coming
up
with
a
plan
to
reinvest
into
the
gym.
Time
will
tell.
