I’m a local and have been a member here for a long time. Location is just so convenient for me. It’s a place where I can come and do my work in peace and go home. I learnt how to do basic lifting here through a few PTs, as female I found the equipment can be intimidating to look at, but I promise, if you’ve never lifted in your life, if you get a few PT lessons, you’ll find a fun new world of being able to lift weights you never thought you could do. I’m no longer afraid to ask for help or touch a piece of equipment. It will make workouts so much more enjoyable, I promise. For advanced lifters or people, this will suffice for fitness as well. We all share the same stuff no matter the level you’re on. I hear a unnecessary grunt or something similar sometimes through my headphones, but I just ignore and move on with my thing. No weird toxic gym behaviour here, no one is staring at you, and if there was I’m sure Nicole would have them straightened out. I have only had friendly and polite interactions with strangers, but no one bothers me unless I ask them to. Or there was one time a stranger complimented me on my efforts as and showed me a better way to do something so I don’t break my back, which I appreciate because, honestly I’m still learning. This gym is a great starting place, and for me this is my place. Perfect ????????
