This is the worst gym I have ever made the mistake of becoming a member. None of the tvs are operable at any of the treadmills or ellipticals, so one is forced to stair at a blank box while using the equipment (an issue which the staff has not even attempted to resolve in the 2-1/2 years I have been a patron of the gym and been complaining of it). The music played over the sound system (even at 5 AM, when the gym is next to empty) is obnoxiously loud, inescapable, and contains obscene lyrics that are demeaning towards women and incredibly crude. The music is so loud it cannot even be drowned out by ones own headphones. I have asked the staff virtually every morning to refrain from playing crude lyrics and to turn the music volume down, and have had no success - the literal response I receive from the staff is "go find another gym". I guess they dont care much about retaining paying customers. The equipment is extremely poor quality to begin with and one piece or another that I wish to use is always broken or "out of order". To top it all off, the gym is dirty - the machines are never cleaned, and I contracted ring worm from using them. This gym was the most convenient for me to attend in the area which is why I remained a member, but I will be canceling my membership after giving them too lengthy of an opportunity to turn things around (during which time they made no attempt or progress) - and I hope to warn anyone else that may be considering becoming a member of this gym not to waste their money.

Im a new member at Club Metro. Having worked out at other gyms in the past like Signature and Fit Above I find Club Metro to be a goodgym. Staff is nice, its a clean place to work out and it has a nice variety of different machines to work out with. One problem is the Gym Etiquette. If your working out in the weight room half the dumbells will be on the floor and not on the rack. Now this comes from certain members who are too lazy to put back their weights and not the staff but every gym Ive been to has a staff employee who comes around every half hour to an hour and puts the weights back in the correct place. Encouraging members to put back their weights when they are done using them would also help. Another problem is the maintenance of the Gym Equipment. Some of the boxing equipment on the 2nd floor needs to be fixed or replaced. Sometimes Ill need to try 2 or 3 treadmills before I find one that is working properly on top of others that have signs saying "Currently Under Maintenance ". The plus is they do have a bunch of treadmills so you will eventually find one that is working properly. Ive never been to a gym were the treadmills are so poorly maintained. The positives about this gym is the pricing and enviroment. It does have a nice weight room section with plenty of machines, a 2nd floor with more gym equipment, and child care service. Overall its a solid gym and would recommend it to a friend. Just wish they would maintain their equipment better.

I enjoy coming to this gym at 5 am due to the fact that no one is hardly around.i have the freedom of space to move around and the freedom of weights to use.If you come to this gym after work or school ,which may be around 4-8 man just forget about this place is not that big to hold the massive of people coming in at that time.your freedom of space would be limited and also your freedom of using the weights and machines are limited. This is were you would be mostly likely to call it quits. In order to solve this issue for myself I would just come to the gym before I head to work .its the only time I could get a really good hardcore and fast work out.with out waiting to use certain machine and weights. It would be nice if they would expand.... As they grow more and more unfortunately the gym would become more tighter and tighter.which to me is not attractive .if another gym opens with bigger space then theres a good chance that might be my new work out spot ...

The trainers are great Roy and Steve they are always willing to help with any question you have along with any advice they can offer. The overall employees attitudes are friendly and they are easy to talk to that even goes for the two woman who come in and clean. A friendly place is a good place in my book. The only reason I dont give a full 5 stars is because of the gym etiquette of some of the members there. (I know that rude members will always be a problem in gyms) I think there should be a few signs that read please put weights back when finished. There are times they are thrown all over the floor. I dont expect the employees to walk around every five minutes but I think if a few signs were put up and employees stressed the issue of "GYM ETIQUETTE" it will make a difference. Again overall Im glad to be part of this gym. keep up the good work!

Pros: Been a member for about a month. Really nice gym, nice atmosphere. Never crowded when I go compelared to brooklyn where my last gym was located. 20 bucks a month isnt bad. It 10 mins away from my home. Seems to be expanding, adding new machines Cons: The bathroom smells like satans anus every day. I go in to wash my hands before I leave and i cant even breath. They need to clean it more or put up some extra ventilation or a air freshener There are some key machines they dont have like the inner and outer leg squeeze machines They really need to get those. They have every other machine I enjoy except those.

good overall gym...But I agree with some members that the weights need to be organized more(Im there at 5am and they are still not organized properly) Ive worked and trained at other gyms and typically the night grew arranges them in order, seems like they just find the nearest open spot if and when they put the weights back. Also other members just leave weights laying around so more encouragement by staff members needs to happen. Overall its a good gym but these little things can be annoying. Also need more collars seems like there are only 3 sets for the entire gym(all about safety)

I missed my gym so much!! I went back for the first time ( my job re-located) in a good minute and it felt good (I was there a month ago but only for the sauna). The helpful, easy going staff , the abundance of equipment, the air, the dance room, and now there so much more room in the main weight room because they moved? the spin room (its gone). And, I didnt have my music but they have music pumping (except dance room). My complaint is that there is only one water fountain. And my shower was great! It can get very crowded though. I wish it was closer to my job....
