Fitness Factory

I’ve worked out here consistently since May 2015. It’s a nice neighborhood gym and located a block away from me. I’m pretty sure all members live nearby.
The gym has two floors.
The main floor has aerobic equipment (elliptical machines, treadmills, stair master), a Smith machine, a cable machine, various other exercise and stretch machines, and free weights. It can get crowded in the evening with people hogging the Smith machine.
The main floor also has a few small lockers to store your belongings. There is one shower and two bathrooms — there are no locker rooms.
The basement has a squat rack, pull up bar, bench press, two punching bags, a plyo box and free weights. There’s some space to do your own aerobic training. There’s also an exercise room for boot camp classes, but otherwise it’s not open.
PROS:
— It’s cheap!
— It’s close to where I live.
— It has 80% of what you need to get your sweat on.
— It’s open from 6AM to 9PM weekdays; 9AM to 6PM weekends, I think.
— Mornings are not too crowded.
— People come to work out, there’s no drama.
— It’s a nice addition to the neighborhood.
CONS:
— It’s small.
— The setup downstairs can be A LOT better — the broken machines can be moved to make the place more functional.
— Some of the equipment does not work well.
— There are a limited number of free weight plates.
Overall, I’m glad Fitness Factory is here and I hope they do well.
