Comments
At first, I thought this place was going to be a dive but then realized it was only one of the rooms.
There are rooms all over the place and broken up into different parts. Cardio room, free weights, yoga, then a bigger room with machines and bikes and a lot of fidgety things. This is where most people hang out and lift. Overall pleasantly surprised.
