Marshall Life Center

Probably the best gym in Marshall. Clean and usually not too crowded.

The Marshall Life Center is a decent gym. It has a variety of things to offer (swimming lap pools, weight machines, free weights, cardio machines, personal trainer, training classes, locker rooms, etc.) for a great price. I didn’t pay for the membership fee. I opted to pay $ 48 dollars for 1 month instead.
I, personally, use the cardio machines and the free weights/​weight machines, and they’re always available — I’ve never had to wait in line. The equipment is typically clean — the staff provides an abundance of small towels and have alcohol wipes placed in opposite ends so that the people can use to clean the equipment after they’re finished using it.
A downside is that you can tell that some equipments are getting a little rusty and old. For example, the dumbbells are very loose and squeaky. I have to tighten the screws in the dumbbells to keep it from falling apart sometimes. Another slight downside is that there’s not a true indoor track to run in. There is a «track» that you can run/​walk on — it basically circles the cardio and weight machines area in one loop — but you would need to do about 25 laps in order for it count as 1 mile.
It’s definitely not a big gym — no where near the size and capacity of gyms like Lifetime or 24, but the one storied Life Center is more than enough for a small town.
Overall, if you’re a gym rat who’s looking for a variety of things ranging from availability of equipments to good hygiene upkeep to good membership prices, LIfe Center is good choice.

After being initially informed we qualified for couple rates, we were not allowed to register as a couple as we are are same sex. Management informed us that since Texas doesn’t recognize same sex marriage we would have to pay the much higher individual fees. Needless to say we looked at other healthy options. I wish I could give them zero stars for inequality.
