The atmosphere is good, but the machines are very old. Most of the towels are extremely old, and the shower area doesn’t feel very clean because everything is outdated. The only thing I really liked was that some doors on the 3rd floor open toward the ocean, with a great ocean view, fresh air, and a very nice atmosphere. I just wish the place had some remodeling.

I’m really disappointed with my experience here, especially considering how much I’m paying.

For a large part of February, several amenities were unavailable. The steam room was out of order, and the pool was closed for about two weeks. On top of that, even when the pool is open, access is extremely inconvenient. You have to join a waiting list and sometimes wait hours. For example, if you go in the morning hoping to work out, you might not get a pool time until 3 or 4 PM, which defeats the purpose.
Also showers was full of hair .

The text notification system they use for scheduling is also unreliable and frustrating.

This gym has gotten way better since the new Santa Monica location opened down the road. It's far less crowded now, especially during January rush. It's also one of the more interesting locations I've been to as far as layout across Boston, NYC and SoCal.
