There must be a million ways of exercising the wrong way and only one right way to do it. Without the help of Marvin Abney (personal trainer) at Gateway Fitness, I would be spending my scarce resource of time in the wrong way. For almost 30 years, Marvin has been a fire fighter who trains other fire fighters. He assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the people he trains, designs customized workouts, analyzes the way that his students do these exercises, and teaches his students how to do the exercises properly. He is helping me to tone up, strengthen my posture, and improve my cardiovascular workout. Despite being physically active with hiking, cross country skiing, and working out, I have never been physically coordinated enough to learn how to dance, do aerobic exercise, or pick up on the stances required for proper weight lifting. Marvin is very detail oriented in helping me get the right skills and the right stances for an effective workout. He has been very, very patient and encouraging with me. He is also advising me on how to get more fat burning from my cardiovascular workouts in half the time. I am very grateful for Marvins help in learning how to optimize my workout. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to achieve the most of their time to burn fat and work out effectively.

The negatives are that the staff is never at the front desk when you need them, I have had to wait for 10 minutes at the front desk for someone to give me a towel, when the washing machine isnt broken and they actually have towels. They are never there to answer questions or answer the phone. I have to work my schedule around the daycare hours and have gotten there only to find that they didnt bother to open the daycare that day and werent going to even though I was pre-paid for daycare. The hours that they have on the web site are not the hours they actually keep. They are constantly "deciding" what hours they are going to be open and inform you with a hand written note on the door, hopefully you were at the gym that day to know when they decided to close up shop. The womans showers are dirty. They have used the same moldy torn shower liner for months. The plus is that the equipment is great, just not the people or the facility.

When I signed up, I got a 2-year contract. After 6 months they raised the monthly dues to $112. When I asked why, they pointed out a paragraph in the contract which let them raise the dues at any time. Facilities are dirty. Machines often break down and stay that way for months. Staff is ignorant and lazy. Stay away.

The staff here is so much nicer than the people at the gig harbor ymca. Really pleasant people. The equipment may not be the newest but my experience at the gig harbor ymca was so terrible that the staff here more than makes up for any machine the facility is lacking.

This place is awesome. Great classes & instructors {Spin, Kick boxing, booty bar, boot camp} Never too crowded and top equipment. Location is easy in/out. I have been member for 3+ years and think it is the best value in my budget.

Very personable staff & fun classes. The prices are so much more reasonable than their competition. I just renewed for $35/month. The childcare and free towels are great bonuses.
