SATS

tl;dr — Not bad, not great either.
The entire chain of SATS gyms suffer from one major flaw — there is no subscription model that doesn’t include classes. So for people like me that don’t do classes but exclusively lift weights it is automatically a seriously overpriced chain of gyms. They are among the best in the city though.
This particular one is close to my home so I’m pretty much a regular. The venue is ok, it has a bright room with some free weights and a competition standard platform which is nice. It can host 2 people at the time but personal trainers can dibs it. The room with the squat rack (=my church) and dumbbells is in the far away corner of the facility and has no windows. It’s kind of crowded and suffers from questionable ventilation. There’s also a big room with big windows looking over the street where the entrance is with a lot of cardio stuff and machines. I rarely use the equipment there but when I have it does its job.
The locker room is fine. Many SATS gyms offer free shower gel which is great because I always forget it — but this one doesn’t. Not sure why.
It’ll get extremely crowded at times — to the point where everything takes 2 – 3 times longer during peak hours. While that may just be an unavoidable fact I’d wish that a premium priced gym like SATS would have better strategies to counter that in place.
Staff has always been friendly and helpful so that’s good. A very weird service related thing is that they close at 1800 hours weekends. That is ridiculous.
In sum a totally ok gym, one of the better SATS ones (the best I’d give ⁴⁄₅) but it’s overpriced and has a lot of room for improvement.

A pretty neat and airy gym when you go off peak hours. You can find most of the stuff you need, but the free weights section isnt huge. Instead, most of the gym area is reserved for machines and cardio. One good thing is that they have a long corridor where you can do some special moves if you are up for that. And also a separate stretch section post workout.
Its hard to find a parking outside so dont bring your car if you dont wanna spend half of your workout looking for a spot. So why not surprise your body by walking here?
Overall this gym wont disappoint you, so you have no bad excuses for missing out today.
