The facility also features basketball courts, eucalyptus steam rooms, and both indoor and outdoor pools. Members can access unlimited group training and personalized attention with a Signature Membership. The facility is highly regarded for its cleanliness, with well-maintained workout areas, saunas, vapor rooms, and locker rooms equipped with amenities like razors and hair dryers. However, some users find the pricing, particularly for single memberships, to be excessive compared to other gyms, especially considering they might not utilize all the offered amenities like childcare.

Some areas may also be closed for extended cleaning or renovations. Despite these issues, many members appreciate the clean facilities, the variety of machines, free weights, and classes available. One standout feature is the personal training offered, with trainers like Tyler Garrett receiving high praise for their knowledge, motivation, and ability to customize workouts.
