Main Street Gym

Great, family owned gym. Friendly atosmosphere, helpful staff. Been a member for three years and love it there. It is a smaller gym but waiting on equipment is rare. I have had more times of waiting for equipment or machines at gyms with 5 times the amount of equipment. The fact that it is smaller is what appeals to me. I can work out without intimidation and the staff gets to know you and cares about your progress. Highly recommend it.

Okay Guys– yeah– I just received a letter from the Gym– FROM THE OWNER– She apologized and is resolving the situation. I feel she meant it and will contact the bank with a full refund if I take off the negative comments of her business. I appreciate her taking action. This is all I wanted. Hopefully she talks to John baker and any of her other employees that do not understand the gym policies or the LAW
Thank you all for supporting me and writing reviews and advice to Facebook– See we can DO SOMETHING– when we are treated poorly. Thanks again

Here’s what I like about the gym:
Everyone is nice, from the regulars to the trainers.
Equipment is in good shape.
Reasonably priced
Here’s what I don’t like:
The trainers and the owner like to occupy the only squat rack in the entire price for an hour at a time so they can stretch out their trainees. They put a mat down and spend the rest of their session entrenched in front of the squat machine.
They also use the only bench press as a apparatus for attaching various bands so their trainees can do curls on a bosu ball.
It’s a small gym, so there isn’t much extra room, but all of these things they’re doing could easily be done elsewhere. Instead, they occupy the only bench press and squat rack for purposes that aren’t what the manufacturer intended. It’d be fine if it was only for a few minutes, but it’s usually 30 minutes to an hour.
If you’re looking for a serious workout you’re at the wrong place. If you’re looking for a low-​key environment without a big crowd you’d probably fit in. Just please don’t place a yoga mat in front of the squat rack and spend an hour there.

This gym is truly amazing. The location is in such a beautiful area. The staff as well as the patrons are friendly and always willing to help. For a single female, I actually feel safe and comfortable here which was a huge change from the pick-​up scene gyms I was use to being in.
The equipment is always clean and the gym has no weird odors like some of them do. The tanning bed is a great pick-​me-​up after an intense workout. The locker room looks like my bathroom at home; very cozy! Things like shampoo and conditioner are provided for you as well as a hair dryer. I love this!
Best part is, the personal training is incredibly affordable; an absolute steal for what you get! My personal trainer is John Baker. He is pheonominal! He truly cares about his customers reaching their goals. He will push you but never to were you will feel uncomfortable. Each personal training session with him I accomplish things I would have never thought I could do on my own.
Join the Main Street Gym family! You won’t be disappointed!
P. S. The juice bar is amazing. You gotta try John’s peanut butter protein shake! YUM!
