I've gone to this gym since it opened but at this point it's time to move on.
It has gotten to the point where 90% of the time you are there you have to wait to use any piece of equipment or any dumbbells. This is because you either have this one old in-shape bald guy who is full of himself hogging everything at once for two hours straight, or some annoying insecure teens/20 year old guys talking to each other for 20 minutes at a time in between sets.
The attendance has gone up, and with it there need to be rules enforced as far as time of use per piece of equipment, otherwise this gym is just a hangout spot. The only time you can get a decent workout in is at the last hour of operation on a weekday, in which an old female janitor will be cleaning the male locker room/restrooms and a male janitor the female area, creating a very uncomfortable atmosphere if you have to use the facilities.
I recommend going elsewhere.
