Powerhouse Gym

This is one of those gyms that does not make it easy for you to cancel your membership. I called the location today to cancel and was told that I needed to wait until a year and then give them a two month notice before I did. When I asked the lady why, she didn’t really seem to know the answer. She just repeated what she already said. I asked a third time and she still couldn’t give an answer as to WHY.
The only good thing about this gym was the customer service I received Everytime I needed something.
The machines are always broke. The sauna in the women’s locker room rarely (if ever) worked. I don’t like the fact that the gym is carpeted (outdated and unsanitary). A bigger variety of machines and area can be installed. The whole top floor is just treadmills. The «women’s fitness area» is a joke. There’s an elliptical and a few weights. The bottom floor has a bigger variety but it’s jam packed and has no wiggle room. A huge overhaul would need to be done to this gym for me to make the trek over.

Ive worked out at much better places. The list is too long to type of why the place is so bad. Why am i still a member? Because i need a place thats open at 4am before i go to work. (On mondays it doesnt open till 5) so really isnt 24 hours all the time, but its enough i do what i gota do in this prison yard…

The only reason I joined this gym was because of the proximity to where I live. Honestly, I wish there were a greater selection in this area.
The drawbacks are:
*Parking is horrible
*Membership is overpriced
*No corporate discounts offered
*The interior is long overdue for renovation with its threadbare carpets, splashes of strange substances on the walls, creaky old machines, poor lighting, and poor ventilation (all of this in spite of the fact that they have the nerve to charge an additional fee for maintenance)
Seriously, spend the extra $ 20/​month and go to the Y. This place is gross.

I recently joined powerhouse and I am super impressed with the staff and management!
Everyone is incredibly friendly, they are stocked as far as equipment, personal trainers, a café, and it’s open 24 hours!
Definitely a must visit!

This place is terrible! Smells bad and never seems clean. The equipment is old and run down. The locker rooms are just as bad.
This place is always hot. I don’t think there is central air which I’m sure makes the smell worse because the air just doesn’t move.
The classes are not good, or at least the ones I’ve been to. Expect the classes to begin at least ten minutes after their scheduled start time.
The entire staff is rude and extremely unprofessional.
The personal training company has changed three times since I’ve been there and I lost sessions because of this. No one at the gym communicated with me or offered any kind of reimbursement.
When I started going here they had a tanning bed which I paid extra to use. They took away the bed without notice and my automatic payment was never reduced. Every time I inquired about this I got a different answer. Never a resolution!
Getting into a contract is a BAD idea because even after the contract is over they are saying it takes a 60 day notice and then another 30 days to get out of that place.
They advertise as a 24hour gym but their weekend hours are very short and inconvenient.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I had a 5 day trial pass which I used for 3 days… I skipped the third day, and gave up by the fourth day. Honestly the gym is appealing because of its close proximity to my home plus the non-​contract plan is enticing for those who dont want to commit to a year. I dont think this gym is right for me despite it being so close to home…
The cons
No central air. (The room for classes is a sauna!!)
It feels a bit cramped for the space and machines.
Machines have quite a bit of miles on them.
Some people dont wipe down the machines after usage… :-(
The pros
They have classes daily in the am and evening hours so it works around your work schedule.
Its 24 hours
The bathrooms/​showers/​changing area was very clean on the one day I went in there.
They have a female only work out area… which is great for those nervous to work out around men or like a bit of privacy (its separated by a wall that is id guess and say 4 feet tall.)
Ive see 2 trainers working with people in the gym not much space but they make it work.
In terms of layout once you walk in you BEEP in and drop your car keys at the desk in a basket (ehh)…Then you see all the work out machines are downstairs along with a weight room. Mostly guys are downstairs pumping iron, and 95% of females go upstairs with the treadmills, bikes, and the room for the classes and of course the «female only section»…

Did not have a good experience here and had a worse experience trying to cancel my membership. Just avoid the hassle if you can

went through some recent revisions, and has a good set of machines and a decent amount of free weights. Not the highest end gym, but a good deal if your like me and want a gym that won’t break the bank.

If your looking for a clean gym with machines that actually work look elsewhere. At this gym you will find weights thrown about machines that don’t work and a staff that is extremely friendly but you’re not there to make friends your there to workout

Gyms ok just needs a lil upgrade. A bite pricey if u don’t get a year contract.
