Energy Health Club

This is just a basic gym. It’s cheap and is priced accordingly. The locker rooms are filthy and are always full of trash, no toilet paper, no paper towels, and smells like mildew all the time.
The cardio machines are up to date but the free weights are dated. The temperature is either freezing cold or extremely hot and humid. Even their own staff complains about temperature.
The sauna is small and the pool has a weird film on the ground. It reeks of chemicals making it even that much harder to swim.
Save yourself the trouble and spend the extra money on a better gym. I plan on switching to 24

My fiancé and I have been going here for about 6 months. We have been sticking it out because of the cheap membership price, but we are over it now.
The facility is small, which makes the awful ventilation even worse. They do not control the thermostat accordingly. I have had days where it is so cold in there, that my cardio doesn’t even warm me up, and I have had days, like yesterday where it was so hot and humid, I felt as if I was breathing in other people’s sweat.
The designated space for stretching is not very big, and is crowded after 2 – 3 people are using the area.
I am very good about wiping down my machines after I use them, but there are often times when the paper dispenser is out of paper.
There used to be a smoothie bar, which I thought was a great perk to the membership, especially because you could charge things to your account. They got rid of that, probably because they could never keep ingredients in stock. I was always asking for smoothies, and there were at least 6 times where they didn’t have the ingredients necessary to make it. They now have vending machines with protein shakes and Gatorade, but I never have cash on me to purchase anything.
I’ve never used the pool, and I never plan to, because it looks like a swamp. The bathrooms are also gross and always damp.
The staff is also usually preoccupied to notice you. It is not hard at all to say hello and good bye, but it seems as if they are incapable of doing that.
We are just to our breaking point now, and have already started talking about switching gyms. The extra money will be worth it.

I used a groupon for a 3 month membership to this facility. It had a sauna and steam room– So, I was totally in! But honestly, it’s really filthy. The ladies locker room area isn’t very clean. The showers have yucky clingy plastic curtains that attempt to stick to your body while showering! You don’t even want your toiletries to touch anything! I even got dressed on top of the bench you’re supposed to sit on… The floor isn’t ever clean and there’s dirt bunnies all over the place!
Also, most likely because of its inexpensive monthly dues– the creepy guy status is in full effect! The water in the pool felt filmy too!
If you want absolute basics (which includes front desk staff that isn’t very knowledgeable) for super cheap– join this place!
But, if cleanliness is important to you– find another gym. Only decent if you have the groupon deal.

The gym is decent. Its pretty minimalist. Its what youd expect for $ 20-​$ 30 per month.
However with how cold its been lately, the CHEAP owners arent turning on the heat so the temperature in there hovers between 57 – 63 degrees which is absolutely frigid and totally unacceptable.

I left energy health club and have recently come back. The place has had a face lift. New paint, new carpet and they have added some new fans which helps with the circulation. The locker rooms are new as well. Just what the place needed.

Still 3 stars but the place has been recarpeted and the locker rooms remodeled. On busy days, customers’ lockers are almost invariably next to each other and present inconvenience and people get irritable. Another bad thing is they used carpet in the locker room so you still can catch a pretty bad case of athletes feet. Its also starting to get gross after a couple weeks.
A couple other things:
1) Bring your own water. The drinking fountain is gross. I’ve seen someone spit in it. Another lets the water dribble out of his mouth while drinking.
2) Somebody shaves his head in the shower and leaves the razor on the shelf.

I just really wish yall would inform us when renovations are going to be happening. Besides that it’s it’s a great gym.

Very nice manager & low month to month plan! Low cost & great renovations… can’t ask for much more. The instructors are amazing as well!

Buyer beware I joined a health club just to use their swimming pool they decided to remodel the locker rooms and I have not been allowed to use the facilities in more than a month today I kindly asked them if they would at least credit me one month it seems like the right thing to do they said no flat out it’s in your contract. Well as I say buyer beware the owner is obviously a Money Grabber and doesn’t want to exercise some decent integrity. Well there you go. Good luck on your search for a place to work out.

We joined this gym in November 2014. we ONLY use the pool, sauna, hot tub. we do not use the machines or weights. we are older and need low impact workouts. the gym notified its members with a handwritten note on the wall/​door that there would be a remodel in April. was given a completion date of april 17. then it was pushed up to may 9. we went in to speak to the manager about possible compensation but was told to read our contract, the gym does not make any exceptions. asked the front desk staff to have the manager call and was told thats highly unlikely. a letter should have been mailed to each member explaining the remodel and if we had any questions to contact ?. the customer service is very disapointing. they get my money every month and I just feel like they really dont care. still waiting for the manager to call.

I have been going to this gym for 8 years and I have to say the staff is awesome. I was dying after spin class and the front desk girl (who is a SSU track star) spotted me a quarter so I could get a gadorade. It’s the little things like that, that keep me coming back and the reason why I will never switch.

Excellent Gym. Great classes! Nancy is the best instructor. She makes you feel so comfortable in her class. Very informative and so positive!

Look, I am giving this gym a 5 because if you want to go to a gym that has great free weights, good equipment, good cardio equipment, nice studio, a steam room/​pool/​sauna and a no ego place, this is a good choice. If you want all fancy and sanitary and all that fluffy shit, this is not your place. I will say, the kids club has the best and most caring staff. The best! I know they have issues with the building, the locker rooms, some goons, and they probably have a low budget. However, they care and the members are generally cool and you really don’t have meat heads there. I love this place. So if you want to work out and do your thing, this is a good gym. They are priced right and I totally support them. They have great trainers. I suggest Molly for serious fitness and weight loss and Susan for someone who needs support and special attention with their weight loss. If you want to stay and support local, this would be my choice. Just give them a try and focus on your goals. Thanks for reading my Unilocal.— Chris Pasquin

I love the aqua aerobics classes, both Molly and Morgan give you quite a workout. I just wish the management would do something about the people who use the class as a reason to get together and chat. They disrupt, disturb and block the aisles. After attempts to discuss this with the front desk I asked to speak to the manager, they told me he was too busy to talk to me. Management — please respect your instructors and your customers, do something about the distractions so we can get the workouts we signed up for. Thank you

First of all. All that I am concerned about in this gym is lifting. I recently bought a house nearby and wanted a gym to purely lift heavy weight in. They have plenty of machines and plenty of cardio. Everything is very dated aside from the cardio. I love it. The weights are heavy, most of the people look like they lift and it is just an all around «real» gym.
David the manager seems cool and I spent a small amount of time talking to Ashley who also works there. I don’t require much from a gym other than a friendly staff and a clean weight room. Yes everything is on the older side but the place doesn’t smell and appears to be clean enough for me. If you are looking for more upscale this may not be the place for you. But if you are looking for a lot for a low price than this is a great option.
I previously Owned 2 Anytime Fitness locations and I still workout there too. Having multiple gym memberships helps me to be well rounded in my exercise. The reason I mention it is that I have been both into lifting and into the gym businesses for years. This place is great especially if you are looking for a more serious crowd. So far I have not encountered any BS. I love it here so far.

Solid gym

Even though I’ve read nothing but terrible reviews for this place, when they offered a groupon for 3 months for $ 50 I decided to go for it.
I don’t even know where to start. This place is pretty ratchet. It’s not clean and the bathroom literally looks like it’s falling apart.
The staff is made up of young people who don’t care to even make eye contact.
So far I’ve been to a few classes offered by Alicia, and while she’s very nice, I’m not impressed. Zumba is an hour of trying to see her make spastic movements through a crowd of people. Her music is too loud, but it doesn’t really matter since she’s not giving you voice cues for the moves anyway. People get confused and about a third of the class end up leaving.
Water aerobics is the same, a surprisingly good workout but it’s confusing trying to understand her through the blaring music. But, let’s talk about the pool. The smell will stop you in your tracks. My eyes and lungs ached from being near the fumes.
The pool was also just generally a creepy area. Pumped up men do their cool downs walking around the pool and stare, it’s unnerving. Someone was also allowed to wear full clothes (WITH SNEAKERS) into the pool during water aerobics which seriously grossed me out.
This place is just… Not for me. Needs a lot of work and management who gives a crap.

Its not the cleanest or spacious gym but it does the job. Recent re-​transplant from marin county, I was spoiled when it came to gyms.
The staff seem nice and helpful if you ask. This is not the country club. One of my biggest gripes is machines that haven’t been «cleaned». It seems like the responsibility is more on the clients than the staff members. The mats are torn up and dirty but they have nicer ones in the open area downstairs. The ab room can get crowded during busy hours, and since they have Sundays open to entire families to use the pool, I don’t ever use the pool…
The upside is it has a veriety of machines, weights, and other workout equipment you can borrow from the front desk. Its the cheapest gym membership and I was glad when I didn’t have to sign a year contract. I haven’t tried the classes but they are usually full and the coaches seem to get the job done. The hours are do-​able and I like knowing if I have a busy day I have some place to go to blow off some steam, even if its 3am. The personal trainers know what they’re doing and even when they are not with a client you will see them around working out themselves.
If your a gym rat who likes to go in get a good workout in and leave this is your spot. If you go to the gym to socialize and possibly break a sweat you’re in the wrong place. As far as this gym goes it serves its purpose as a place for people to workout.

My girlfriend and I decided to do their 5 day free pass to check out the gym. We were looking for a place to workout that also had a pool. With the high price of 24 Hour Fitness and the lack of free swim times offered by the city pools this seemed like a good option.
We registered online for the 5 day free pass and headed over to the gym. At the counter was a young lady, maybe still in high school or just out of high school that had us sign a couple of waivers. She scanned the print out we brought for the 5 day free pass and told us we were free to use the facilities for the next 5 days. We did not get a tour of the facility or any other information.
Our number one priority was the pool, so off we went. We wandered a little bit through the building trying to find our way to the pool. We had to walk through the locker rooms to get to the pool. To our surprise, there were no towels to use for the pool. We exited the locker rooms and were almost knocked to our feet by the over powering smell of chorine coming from the pool and hot tub. They also had a sauna and a steam room, however the sauna was out of order. We climbed into the pool and began swimming some laps. There seemed to be plenty of lanes available at the time we went and felt we could take our time to use the pool.
Once in the pool, the truth came out. The walls and floor of the pool had a slime and film on them from being way over due for a professional cleaning. The pool deck area had mildew and stains on the ground and even the water seemed to be missing the clarity and cleanliness you expect from pool water. We stayed and swam for about 30 minutes before we both decided we were a little too grossed out by the pool to continue. We quickly went into the locker rooms to «rinse» off the muck and then could not get home fast enough to take showers.
As for the rest of the gym, the equipment looked like it was in good shape and relatively new, but the floors and walls were in desperate need of replacement and a good paint job.
Needless to say we will not be using the remainder of our 5 day pass nor signing up for a membership at this gym.

I am a little nervous now after reading everyone’s comments because I just cancelled my membership. I canceled because I just don’t go anymore and I was wasting money. I hope I don’t run any issued with my membership (which would suck because my boyfriend pays for it!)
PROS
— Not too many people (if you go at good times)
— there are always machines available
— people are very friendly
— lots of older people (this can be a con, for me it was a plus because I am from SSU and I hate going to the SSU gym. Too. many. bros.)
— the rock climbing thing is awesome! and very unique
— lots of classes
— chi gung! (instructor is amazing)
CONS
— yoga teachers are okay (I only went because Melanie used to teach here and I basically go where she goes, and now she doesn’t work there. This makes me really sad, she is the BEST yoga teacher ever.)
— no air conditioning. if it got too hot, they only open their doors and hope for the best.
— classes are too crowded (unless you go to early morning yoga and chi gung!)
— intimidating older men (all they do is lift heavy weights. I feel intimidated trying to get my strength training. I’m small and a girl. I get looks whenever I am over there. I don’t care, it’s just annoying because it’s obvious that they are judging.)
I really liked going here but I got too lazy and never went. I got discouraged after Melanie left. I really enjoyed her classes and the other yoga teachers are different. Still great classes, but are just different. Hopefully I don’t run into issues with cancelling like the other people did! Will keep everyone updated.
Four stars (for now).
