CONS:
- Extremely safe: I never felt anxious or nervous about leaving my things in my locker, none of the staff or members ever made me feel unsafe. And the location of this gym is in a nice neighborhood. I never worried about my car being broken into, etc.
Depends on what you're looking for... If you're a lifter, this place is for you. There are more weights than I know what to do with and the facility is amazing. If you're not a lifter, it's really expensive and I don't think you get what you pay for. I have the yoga membership which is $100 a month. I've been to a LOT of yoga studios and for that price, the door should be locked at the beginning of class and people shouldn't be able to wander in and out at any time. Every class I've been to so far someone has arrived 15-30 minutes late or left early and interrupted the class. Also, you can hear all the lifters weights slamming on the ground outside the classroom... Not the most zen. For $100 a month there aren't a lot of classes either. There are a couple in the morning when most people work and then a 5:30 pm class but that's it for the evening. I wish there were more in the evening. The instructors have been amazing so far though. Kris, who teaches Yoga Mobility, is fantastic. I also tried to go to a cycling class but the instructor didn't show up... It was kind of frustrating because it was an 8 am Saturday morning class so I got up early for it. I really wish I had done a couple of classes and worked out there for a couple of days before I signed up for a membership.
I've been a member of this gym for almost a year now, and I absolutely love friendly staff, amazing people, and general culture of this gym! I'm extremely sad to say that I have to downsize gym memberships until I finish my studies, but I had a wonderful experience at Xcel Fitness, and hope to be back once I graduate!
- Only one location: I currently work and go to school. Xcel Fitness was right by my office (I passed it on my way to work every day), but not my home or school. So I couldn't go as often as I would like to because it was a 10-15 minute drive from my home.
- Month-to-month membership: I loved the flexibility of having a month-to-month membership. Being a full-time college student, I knew that there's a possibility to come into financial trouble. Cancelling my membership (although sad) was a really easy process. They were completely understanding and helped the process go smoothly.
- Experienced/friendly trainers: Unfortunately I couldn't afford to have a personal trainer, but I was able to have a session with one of them named Austin. He was so kind, attentive, and patient with me. All of the trainers that I've met at this gym are courteous and fun.
PROS:
- Management: Ryan is awesome! He actually showed me around the gym when I was looking into the place. He was really friendly and got to know me personally. I think that's really cool.
- They are expensive: compared to other gyms, the price is definitely high. But the quality of the gym does make up for that, in my opinion. Health is an investment, and a really good one to make.
- Wonderful culture: everyone is so friendly, inclusive, and kind. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, and every person I've interacted with at this gym has smiled and said hello. The people who come here are super genuine, and a lot of them are in great shape. It's encouraging to see so many people doing so well with their health, and all of the people I talked to were always really kind to me. I never felt uncomfortable, judged, or unwelcome. I've gained a lot of weight in the last two years due to some major life changes, and I'm extremely uncomfortable with my body at the moment. At Xcel Fitness, I never felt like I was out of place, even though I'm in the worst shape of my life. (Compared to other gyms where people might be judgmental- I never experienced anything like that here).
This has been by far my favorite gym I have ever gone to. The staff is very encouraging and genuinely care to help you reach your fitness/health goals. It is a very positive environment, with the nicest and newest equipment! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone and everyone!
- Amazing gym equipment: the equipment in this gym is extremely nice compared to others gyms. They spend a lot of money in the quality of this gym and equipment. I have only seen a few machines that were broken for a short period of time, and normally there were other machines exactly like it that did work.
Xcel is a clean and as others have mentioned, spacious gym that has many tools for the "functional fitness" type athlete. HOWEVER, in the last month I've attended 3 spin classes where no instructor has shown up. That's unacceptable in my book. If people pay to come to classes, you should have someone there to teach the class on the schedule or cancel it. Also, the person that checks you in at the front checks you into the class you're going to so if the class is cancelled, they should tell you. For the record, 4 people were stood up for spinning today and it does not say cancelled on the schedule.
I loved coming here in the mornings before work, but if I managed to forget my gym clothes, it was unlikely that I would make the drive again
I'd give Xcel ten stars if I could! Very spacious so you have enough room for your workout. Always so clean, and the staff is amazing! They really make all members feel like part of the family.
