Small but not crowded
I have called 8 times over the past few months attempting to get rates to plan my spring/summer and have only reached voice mail. To date none of my calls have been returned. I was in Sea Isle City for Memorial Day week and visited the new location (last year I walked into the old space and saw people waiting for machines and left) on a daily membership. I asked the girl behind the counter about a specific exercise and was told she didn't know, to speak to the owner but she was personal training someone. The owner seemed very knowledgeable but she was not available. I ended up waiting for the treadmills while several 17 year old girls chatted about their drunken events the night before, which turned me off too but not the gym's fault. I ended up waiting for 20 minutes to use the treadmills and then leaving as they were still occupied. The next day I attempted to return and saw new times on the door. 8 am - 12 pm and something after 4 pm too bad it was 2 pm. I asked a runner if there was another gym in town and he said Hardbodies. I went to Hardbodies and found a much bigger gym and no waiting. The manager helped me make a new training program and showed me how to use the machines. The machines are a bit older but they still work but the staff was much better. They also have more beverages and free weights.
I'm not sure what the previous reviewer is talking about - This is by far one of the greatest gyms I have ever gone to! The staff was very helpful and resourceful, the gym was clean and spacious and all of the equipment was top notch! If you're vacationing in this area or live here year round definitely look into joining this gym!
