Better Bodies Cardio & Fitness Centers

I was a long-​time employee of this gym and would not recommend it to anyone. I did not leave as an angry or disgruntled employee but rather as a completely disgusted consumer. (I was a devotee and member long before I became an employee.) the owner died about 2 years ago and the person who took over has zero experience running a gym. Have a favorite class? Don’t get used to it — the class schedule changes every five minutes without warning. The cleaning products for gym users are out of stock about half of the time. Equipment is not properly cleaned or maintained. Staff is not properly trained and there is zero focus on customer service or satisfaction. The decision to leave was a difficult one because I enjoyed working there for most of my tenure but the disconnect between the staff and the ownership have caused issues that are seriously hazardous to the members. This gym is a good candidate for an episode of Gym Rescue! The business plan and all of the equipment need some updating. Best wishes, better bodies. Watch out for the new Planet Fitness down the street.

The place is not going to win any awards for cleanliness or visual appeal. Dudes in jeans to your left, 6 «bros» standing around one cable machine taking turns doing curls on your right…
The front desk staff’s attitude reflects the $ 7 and change they are getting per hour.
There is some manager there (not often) that is a flat out unwelcoming A-​hole. The guy starts walking around 30 minutes before close and tells you they will be closing soon. Then he just starts doing laps around the gym telling people over and over. he averages a lap about every 5 minutes. After the 3^rd time he told me (in 15 minutes) that they’re closing soon, I said «you can quit bugging me, I didn’t forget». He responded with «ya, I’ll make sure you don’t».
All in all, since I only pay $ 12 a month, I’m relatively satisfied.
The people leaving 1 star reviews because they are not getting luxury attitude and treatment should suck it up or go to the local athletic club where they can pay $ 65 bucks a month for a smiling front desk staff.

Well let’s see:
1. it’s the bro show. Tons of bros hanging out on the bench press machines. Tank tops and jeans all day.
2. Staff is non-​existent so if you needed something, don’t ask.
3. The machines, equipment, locker rooms, everything is old, dated, and dirty. It’s just not very sanitary.
4. Rude staff, just not pleasant or nice. Super rude or don’t care that you are walking in the door.
5. The billing company they use is a joke! They assess garbage fees if you are a day late and won’t hesitate to send you to collections. The target breach affected my card SO they couldn’t take a payment out and instead of calling and asking why it wasn’t processing, they waited until after the fee was assessed and charged me 20 dollars. I paid my entire membership off and now I’m outta there. Just go somewhere else where the fees are told to you upfront and there is no third party management system crap.

Great gym for what you pay. Equipment isn’t in the best condition but they have tons of free weights and machines. The weights are seldomly returned after people use and dumbbells get spread across the racks but that’s certainly not the fault of the gym. Gym staff is friendly and helpful enough and there seem to be alot of classes.

This gym is a joke! No one helps or explains things to you and every time I went ppl would hit on me. I couldn’t even work out in a COMFORTABLE environment. All they care bout is getting there money. I only went a couple times cuz I felt so uncomfortable but they sure got their money from me! I would not recommend this place. Wat a joke

This gym is great! I looked around for gyms that #1. Had childcare that wasn’t crazy expensive. I am more likely to go to the gym if I can bring the kiddos. #2.Was somewhat close to my house. This place is 15 min away, and they have a few other locations that I think you can go to. #3 Reasonable membership price. I paid for the year and it was so cheap. Daycare is only $ 5/​child/​month. My 2 kids for $ 10 is an amazing deal. I’ve only been coming for the past two weeks, and I was going to wait to review, but I feel like they have been pretty consistant. The staff is pretty friendly. The manager wasn’t pushy at all, but still helpful. The classes are interesting. The only class I didn’t like was yoga, but I’m not really a fan of yoga at a gym. I like that they have a little variety of classes. There is a seperate area for the ladies to work out in– but even working out in the main area I saw an equal amount of males and females. The downside to this place… The equipment is a little old. The elipitical in the female area wasn’t working properly, but it wasn’t a huge deal to me. The water fountains are hard to find and need to be updated too. You can tell the flooring in the classroom isn’t the newest, but I don’t think that it means dirty. The employees in the childcare area are nice and good with my kids. It seems like they have enough toys to keep the kids occupied and they have baby appropriate toys as well. Good solid gym!

This is definitely a no frills place but the price is right at $ 12 per month and an annual fee of $ 25. A few complaints though. 1) $ 5.00 fee if you lose your membership card and need a replacement (I can understand needing to charge if you are continually losing it but I’m sure that piece of plastic only costs a few cents.) 2. The handle on the drinking fountain is broken and has stayed that way for several months. I’m doubtful that they will ever fix it. 3) The close at 5:00pm on Sunday. That seems really early to me, especially given that I like to workout in the late afternoon/​early evening.

the worst gym i have been to!!! its flithy in there they have one rag to wipe down all the machines after using them! there nursery is disgusting and the people are so rude! so disgusted!

You cannot beat the price and space in these facilities! I love this place and wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. The regional manager, AB, is a very cool dude and the rest of the staff is great.
If you’re looking for a great, no-​nonsense gym, you don’t want to look anywhere else!

No nonsense workout place.
I wouldn’t call Better Bodies a «gym» or a «Fitness Studio».
This location is in what appears to be an old grocery store.
Better Bodies is no frills– and I like it like that just fine.
They have a ton of free weights and machines– which are no where naer new but kept in good working order. Also a very good amount of various Cardio pieces including treadmills, elipticals, bikes, rowers and even a couple had cycles (which I love to use!)

Overall a great gym. I’ve been to more than one in my time and this one is really good.
As of Feb 2010, the price is absolutely outstanding for the gym you get in return. The place is always clean, rarely if ever smells, and is full of pretty friendly people, especially Cisco who always take the time to say hello and to wish you a good workout.
I agree with Frank C., The hours could be better and one time the soap in the mens room was broken for an entire week, 5 days after I reported it. That kinda p.o.‘ed me but its been operable ever since then.
Because of the price and the amount of equipment available I drive a considerable distance past 4 gyms every day to train. That speaks for itself.
A winner all the way.
