Well, this review is just the tip of the iceberg, and I can prove EVERY bit of it with police records and statements from people who saw AND heard most these things. Absolutely unbelievable, but unfortunately TRUTH. This is the PG version. I was a member here for a year and this was about the WORST experience Ive EVER had with any business. The OWNER repeatedly interrupted my workouts to have me help him with various front desk duties and to practice his assorted martial arts moves on me. I received a martial-arts-nerve-pinch to my neck/shoulders when I told him NO after he had asked me for the 3rd time (3 separate occasions over the course of my year here) to give him oral sex and then he exposed himself to me in the back of the gym. I was then called "Sasquatch" and "Prostitute" (to other members/employees, the coward didnt say this directly to my face) he apparently doesnt like to be told NO. He also asked me to show him my breasts. He asked for back massages and my prescription pain medication for his "sore back" while I was a MEMBER here. He must have mistaken me for someone who was "insecure" because I was a little overweight AT THAT POINT IN TIME. He was dead wrong. I left this place because of the sexual harassment by the OWNER and because of the theft of my voided check (I had to cancel my bank account and get a new one because of the theft), social security #, and cc #, that was stolen by his (unbeknownst to me at the time) heroin addicted-ex convicted ARMED bank robber-personal trainer-best friend-employee who I had signed up with. Also, a friend of mine had $800 CASH stolen after he paid for a 4-year membership and then they claimed he never paid them! A bunch of us left and went over to Highline Athletic Club where we had a better experience. The owner has a Sociopathic-Jekyll and Hyde personality and has been running his gym like this since it opened in 1990. In fact, he was sued by the Attorney General in 1998 because of this type of behavior! These guys are pathological/compulsive liars and thieves, and I wouldnt join this used-car-dealership-gym again if my life depended on it! There are plenty of other REAL health clubs in the area now, but there wasnt when I joined. I would stay far away from this place; avoid it like the plague! There are also over 30 reviews being hidden by Yelps review site (almost ALL of them are negative). Click on the hard-to-find-link at the bottom left side of the few positive reviews that are being shown to see more. If anyone has any questions about my review, please feel free to message me! Thanks!

This place is the bomb, been workin out here for a very long time and I can say that most of the bad reviews for this gym come from people who have never stepped foot in the building and I know this because I come in to work out about 2-3 times a day almost every day. You shouldnt let these reviews determine whether or not to come in, you should see for yourself of how great of a gym this is! One of the things most people look past is how safe you can leave your belongings in this gym. At other gyms in the area, I hear of peoples cars getting broken into or lockers broke into but that would never happen in this gym because you can see the parking lot from inside the building and the gym is small enough to see something like that happen in clear site. Also one time I forgot my nice watch on the floor after a workout and one of the members returned it to the front desk, I was very impressed! Besides the gym being immaculately clean like everyone says, all the gym equipment is optimal and they are always upgrading equipment as well. Steam rooms work beautifully, the showers are also really nice. Overall this is the best and most affordable gym in the area. The staff is extremely friendly and all the members are also very friendly and say hi to me all the time and are always willing to help if I need a spot or assistance with exercise. Also if you dont have a workout partner, most of the members are always ready to fill that spot! I cant count how many people Ive worked out with because everybody in here is that friendly! Like I said before, you should come in and check out this gym for yourself with your own eyes before you make any judgement about the gym. Ive worked out at a lot of gyms but this is the best by far, plus its 24 hours! No complaints!

I have been going to this gym for about 9-10 years! So i know what this gym is all about! This gym to me is like a home to me. Considering the fact it has everything a home has, a nice bathroom with showers, lockers, and what my actual home doesnt have.... a steam room! The steam room is just awesome if you want to relax and be productive at the same time. It is a super clean gym, the cleanest Ive been too... and probably way cleaner than my house. I see this lady clean it every morning when I come in for a morning workout. The staff here is really nice to me and a couple of the employees make me keep coming more often because of how funny they are, and especially how helpful they are when they teach me how to workout. This one trainer does his job perfectly, instead of pressuring me to buy training he just encourages me to make a lifestyle change and be happy while I try my best to come in and workout. There absolutely no pressure at this gym at all. ALSO not intimidating either! I use to be scared to working out at gyms because I dont want people staring at me or throwing uncomfortable comments at me. Every person that works at this gym is absolutely nice, I cant think of one rude person, considering I have been going here for years. The gym changed my life, I use to be this kid who did nothing but played video games, now I can be who I want to be! I have always wanted to be able to do things other people cant do and I have accomplished that. I also managed to learn how to dance and do the splits! That totally built my confidence from learning and getting fit from this gym. Its all about being positive here, just dont bring any negativity. I move around a lot, but this is always the gym I look forward to coming back too. Thank you!

I have always shied away from gyms in the past because of the aggressiveness of the staff. I am not in the best shape, and I am ashamed of it. I have had a membership with Pro Fitness for a while, and for a long, long time, I was paying for it and not using it -- a trainer (who is no longer there) was way to hard on me, and that really turned me away for the longest time. Even with my high school reunion coming up - I was determined in two ways: that I am going to look heavy, and I was determined to lose the weight. The former was winning out, and I actually went in to cancel the membership altogether. It had been about 9 months since I had been there last. George was at the desk and remembered my name right away. That took me by surprise. I explained what was going on in my life, and it was something I had to cut off my budget. With no pressure whatsoever, he listened to my concerns, apologized for my earlier bad experience, and offered to get me set up with Donovan for some PT sessions, at no extra charge. Donovan was firm, yet gentle - not pushing me past my breaking point. Friendly and encouraging, I truly felt he had a vested interest in helping me achieve my goals. In less than a month - I have dropped nearly 8 pounds already. I never thought that lifting weights would help me LOSE weight! And I have only been going in three times a week. I can only imagine the results if I push it further. Thanks Pro Fitness for not letting me give up! You provided the coaxing and encouragement that I really needed, without being overly pushy like the bigger gyms! (make note that many of these "1 star" reviews, they are complaining about ABC Financial - not the gym itself! Not a fair assessment)
