I've been a member of this gym 1-2 years, and my experience overall has been pretty good. The machines are kept clean and the wifi always works. However, ladies beware, some of the men stare a little too much at the females working out on the machines. I guess this is typical for a gym, but there have been a couple of instances where I've become uncomfortable. There is a room that is women only for certain hours, and I love this room simply because I don't have to worry about some perv staring at my derriere the entire time. However, the women only time block is barely enforced and men still go in this room when it's "women only". Gold's Gym also has a women only space and I've never encountered men blatantly disregarding the setup there.

If you want a safe gym where the staff (lifeguards and managers) enforce the rules to protect their members DO NOT join this gym. If you care about your health DO NOT go to this gym. See pics. If you do not want bait and switch marketing, hidden fees and dishonest managers do not go here. Now for the LONG explanation: I've been a member on and off since coming to Harrisburg in 1998. I was impressed with how clean the natatorium (pool area) was along with the general design (it has a lot of glass that lets in natural light). Unfortunately the gym has slowly and steadily declined over the years. The doors to the pool area are broken. As such when someone walks in or out they will not close. The once pristine pool now has stains around the edges and I have had to pick band aids and other debris out of the pool more and more often while swimming my daily laps. In an effort to keep the place open they have resorted to renting the pool out to local high schools. It used to be just one, but now I think there are 5 or 6 different teams in there (not counting masters who only ever took up two or three lanes). The coaches are rude and open the doors to the outside. I asked them often and nicely to close the doors to no avail. Finally I just shut them myself (which lasted till I got back in the pool and they opened the doors again. During the summer I don't mind but in the middle of winter?!?!? I was trying to swim with frigid 30 degree air blowing over the lanes. Now imagine you are in front of a TEAM of teenagers and three fully dressed coaches in a swimsuit, soaking wet and freezing from the winter air blowing in trying to get them to FOLLOW THE RULES while the lifeguard sits over in the corner and DOES NOTHING TO ENFORCE THE RULES. I have heart problems, that is why I work out. Last year I sat down with the fellow who runs the pool and discussed my concerns. At his urging, I wrote a long letter (email) as he told me to do explaining how cold air and effects wet bodies and how it IS NOT SAFE OR HEALTHY (not to mention being against the rules) to have the doors to the outside open in the middle of winter AT NIGHT. Last week on a cool fall night when I was there the same guy was sitting down there acting as lifeguard and... the doors were wide open AND NOW THEY HAVE A HUGE FAN BLOWING THE AIR INTO THE NAUTITORIUM! I felt like a fool for trusting him. Their pricing is interesting... they advertise $24.99 ($45.99 I think if you want access to the pool) a month but make sure you read the fine print. They will charge you $58 a year for "equipment fees" to keep the rates low! I didn't even notice the charge on my card till I looked after hearing guys in the locker room discussing how shady it was that the gym charged them twice that month (once for $24.99 and again for the equipment fee). They finally fixed the roof which has been leaking for the past 5 years and gave it a new coat of paint and some new furniture; but it will take more than cosmetic changes to make this gym great again. The people running this place need to build the trust back up they have lost by failing to keep their word and make their gym a safe and pleasant place to maintain your health. Update: the roof still leaks.

I love the classes, however the new owner just closed the kids club with a 2 day notice. I have a feeling things will go down hill from here. A week ago I would have given the fitness center 5 stars.

I like the gym, but all I want to do is swim and they rent too many lanes to the EPAC swim team during peak times. I was hoping this would end in March but they just keep on renting.

If you have a child who wants to learn to swim but is afraid of water skip this place entirely. My son is 5 and water is his biggest fear. He's made great progress, but the staffs behavior today was deplorable. Keep in mind this class is for children who never swam before. One of the instructors, whom was a blonde woman angrily said "I don't know what to do with him" five feet away from my wife. Venting frustration in front of a paying customer without talking to them directly is a big mistake....especially if you could hear them. Then the lifeguard assumed that he had a learning disability because he's afraid and not at the same point as other students. Since when does fear equal a disability? It was extremely judgmental,very rude and presumptuous. We will not be coming back and encouraging our friends with children to find another facility that is a little more patient and less judgmental. I didn't expect my child to fully learn to swim, but at least get used to the water with a CARING pool staff. Very rude people!
