    All new members are offered a free assessment with one of our exercise specialists. Our specialists determine a baseline for future goals by taking your measurements. Based on your information, your specialist will help you decide which type of training best fits your personal goals. These assessments are non-invasive, non strenuous, and only take about 35 - 50 minutes to complete. A reassessment is recommended every 3 months. To schedule your assessment, simply contact our Fitness Department to get started.

    The reception boys were helpful and friendly when I first went. Joel, Sami, and another boy whose name started with a J. They signed me up quickly and listed off amenities. I go to bathe on the steam room and work out upstairs (cardio machines). Everything is so very clean and main...

    Awesome facilities and staff. It's a little bit more pricier than the neighborhood gyms but it id SO worth it! It's not a pick up party spot just simply a gym. When you are there that is why everyone else is there.

    Very nice facility. It also houses the physical therapy for Franciscan Healthcare. They gym is clean and I love that this is not a hang for the young crowd. Mature audience only makes it work for me.

    The healing from the sauna, therapy pool, and whirlpool have been beyond my expectations. I have very tight muscles from broken neck and spinal cord crushing. I can almost walk normally after just a few weeks. Should have started a year ago!
