Excellent gym if your serious about your lifting/workouts, only you need to be experienced and know how to "improvise" and "take charge" when needed due to poor maintenance of elliptical/TV and lack of finding dumbells when u need them, (over time, youll learn which ones are broken and to avoid), and in the past few years it has "morphed" into basically a population of clients that like loud rap music which the gym plays 90% of the time over the PA system at so high a volume as to affect ones peace of mind and concentration. Self absorbed, inconsiderate behavior of a large number of patrons (Id like to say its a "few bad apples", but unfortunately its the other way around, I seem to observe only a "few good apples"), most have poor gym edicate (dumbells rarely returned to racks and sometimes left in completely different area of gym) so if your serious about your work out and dont want to spend 5 minutes finding the matching dumbbell and often not finding at all (when trying to rest only 30 seconds to a minute between sets) it can be frustrating. They need to enforce some edicate to their patrons, but they dont, and maybe play some classic rock or something more often, they play rock once in a blue moon (and of course, if they due play rock on rare occasions, its gonna be the "angry" heavy metal type). Again, most equipment is good and varied, and people exercising are usually serious about it (of course they mostly all have to have their cell phones for texting between sets, but I guess thats todays generation, self absorbed, unspiritual, inconsiderate, not "in the moment" etc). 5 years ago, it wouldve gotten 4-5 stars, its come a long way though, Ive been there since it was a "broken down" Golds Gym, but I have to say the "vibe" was better back then amongst the clientele, with better consideration for ones "fellow gym member" who might want to use whatever equipment your using next....a very simple concept most dont seem to appreciate anymore. Oh well, how the times and demographics are changing.

They are right. it is really big with a lot of machines, but during the evening not big enough to accommodate the poor suckers who got trapped into this. I have gone to Gyms for all of my life, and I am in my upper middle age. this Gym does not make me feel good. I have opted to stay for a bit longer because it is walking distance and I like to walk to the Gym. BUT ..i feel fluked because i joined also due to it being open 24 hrs..they changed it to 10 pm and no one was compensated with a lower monthly fee (they have the highest fees around). Sooo, i get to go to the Gym around once every other month if that. In the late spring and summer it is SOOO hot in this Gym, I can hardly breath with my respiratory problems. The section in the back for women is a joke. A small room with very very little equipment. This room is not fully Air Conditioned in the summer, yet the womans locker room is freezing. At first glance or try out the Gym seems really nice, but once you become a member and start going, it is nto a really nice feeling. the Zumba class i took was a joke. it wasnt Zumba by any means. it seems like Salsa-Hip Hop. Zumba is do-able for any weight and age. This class was just for 99 lb teens and 20s..I had to walk out after the first 5 minutes. I must remember this year to go in and cancel my membership that I have had for 4 years and have probably been there no more than 20 times. I think I will try the new retro that opened nearby. I will just have to drive there but will save $400 per year and probably have a warmer feeling about it. Oh, one more thing about sig..Guest passes are $20 a day on top of them taking your $700 per year and not having anything to show for it. Geesh I am in the mood to go right now to my 24 hr Gym I signed up for and it is closed :-(

The facility is nice and theres plenty of weights and machines. Thats pretty much all I can say thats nice about the gym. When I initially joined the gym I was told by the person in the office it was open 24 hours. I one night went to the gym only to find it was closed. Apparently it stopped being a 24 hour gym before I even joined. On more than one occasion Ive stood at the front desk without being noticed, since I pay for membership I just started to walk in. I was stopped by someone behind the counter and was told that in the future I need to sign in. I suppose if I was immature it wouldve gotten a little ugly.. When I tell people I go to signature I always get the same comments and theyre not nice about signature. The gym is way overpriced for what they offer. It was my intent to discontinue my member when my year was up, but it renewed automatically. Due to me being lied to by the person that signed me up, I am unable to ever make it to the gym. Not only is it apparently not 24 hours, but it also closes at 8pm on the weekends. When I called and asked why they were closed at 8 today, I was simple told "because its the weekend" Apparently that crap makes sense to the employees. I have a gym that I pay 55 dollars a month for and cant even go to. I was essentially scammed and continue to be robbed by them every month. I do however frequently go to the other gym I had to sign up for. Its insane that I have two gym memberships. DONT FALL FOR SIGNATURE GYM! Ive proudly stopped 3 people from joining.

I really like the gym, besides the fact that its pretty much crowded after 5, but what big gym isnt??? However, I have been really turned off with their lack of keeping GOOD, no, GREAT instructors. I keep hearing horror stories of the Fitness Instructors/Trainers Manager and the owner is not doing anything about it! Despite the fact that Many people came together with a petition showing how unhappy they are about that, and they seem to not be doing anything about that!! If you want a gym where you are not interested in participating in any of their 70 or more classes (one of their "free" perks they state) then come to this gym! But if you are interested in participating in some of their classes or train with one of their trainers.... dont get too hooked on the trainer or instructor, because who knows if that person will be here next week!!!

Ive been a member for about 2 years and Ive witness this gym deteriorate from good to bad. Dont waste your time on this gym, let me explain why: 1) Gym is OVERPRICE, the steam room has been broke for about 6 months and still they dont fix it. The showers and sinks have issues with the hot water. Its a joke, people have to wait in line to take a shower because only few showers with hot water work. Therefore, the SAUNA is always crowded, people are packed in there like sardines. 2) One of the best Zumba teachers was kicked out, now its pretty lame. 3) The place is always crowded and packed. 4) Gym is NOT OPEN 24 hours I rather pay less money, if all Im going to use is the machines. I paid a lot of $ to enjoy the other perks such as steam room, plenty of parking, 24 hours as how it was initially. Its just gone from good to bad. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
