Good Shepherd Institute For Healthy Living

Great facility. Clean, with an indoor salt water pool. Potentially the best in Longview.

I stopped coming here last year. We had a gym closer to home that was also a part of the network. I decided that on mornings I slept in, I’d come back here during lunch.
It is clean, really clean. Plenty of equipment to work out with, well, during the day it is. A lot of people but not crowded and I was able to go through my 30 minute workout without delay, much.
The changing room (men’s) was clean. Clean towels, showers, locker room and rest room.
The staff is helpful and more than polite. I didn’t eat lunch there but the grill area looked well maintained.
Plenty of trainers available, a spa and pool.
All in all, a good service for Longview. Top shelf.

The upper management approve things and make promises and then later change their mind. Very wishy washy. Kids can not use the pool during the week, only on Friday for an hour in the evening and then Sat and Sunday from 1 — 7. It is crowded and very hard to get in and get showers. They seem to always have pool lanes closed, hot tubs closed and saunas in the locker rooms closed for maintenance problems. Their lockers get stuck and you have to go and get someone at the front to open them. Have had two episodes where they took my kids out of the room without my approval for an activity. I even took them back to the room and could have been anyone grabbing them and walking right out the door. I talked to someone and made them aware.
They do offer zumba and step classed included with no extra fee but they offer some other classes like body pump where you have to pay extra.
It is a beautiful place. It does have a lot to offer. I just wish I could get more out of my membership.

I’ve been to many-​a-​gym. This is definitely one of nicest. The equipment is a little crowded and a little unusually placed; however, it is overall a great exercise experience. Weird that this is in Longview, right?
