2 /5 Brian Jones: This gym has real potential — it’s clean, safe, well-equipped, and has a solid community. But potential means nothing without direction, and that’s where the gym continues to fall short.
The hours are extremely limited and inconvenient, the sauna has been down with no updates, the lockers barely work, and the outdoor equipment was removed with no explanation. There’s no community engagement, no events, and nothing that sets this gym apart from bigger chains.
With CHUZE Fitness closing nearby, this could have been the perfect opportunity to grow — but the gym simply isn’t structured to take on new members. It feels like ownership is waiting for more members before investing, but that’s exactly why new members don’t show up. It’s a backwards business approach.
There are simple solutions that would immediately make this gym competitive:
Implement app or key-card entry so the facility doesn’t rely on staff being present
Extend the hours, or at least eliminate the mid-day 1–4 PM closures.
Offer a price that reflects the current amenities
Communicate updates clearly so members know what’s happening
Have events or activities that advertise & bring exposure.
I’m not writing this to tear the gym down — I’m writing it because I want it to succeed. I come here because the environment has so much potential, but potential doesn’t matter if leadership doesn’t act on it. The facility is strong, the community is strong — the execution just isn’t.
If the owner chooses to actually invest in the vision of this place, it could truly thrive.
