POOR MANAGEMENT

by ras527 at Citysearch

This would be a wonderful facility if it were not for the management. Management is a swinging door. Someone new every year almost. And with it comes change of policy....not honoring contract of previous management....not updating equipment....nor repairing equipment in a timely fashion....lots of equipment breakdowns....these are all management related problems. For the monthly price, members should expect more than just another gym....nothing special. There are better alternatives for a gym membership

• Pros: Basketball
• Cons: MANAGEMENT

No towels, no shampoo, no bags

by workout123 at Citysearch

Considering the monthy payment higher than the rest gyms of the area, at least they have to have a nice club but all the equipment is old and much in bad condition, in the lockers rooms there is not shampoo, u have to ask to a staff member to get a towel and the most offensive think that i ever see they dont have no more bags to put wet swimsuit or other clothes and they putted some used supermarket bags...that's unbelievable.

A good choice if

by paymart at Citysearch

if your looking for a place to work out that will allow you to concentrate on yourself without worrying about what everyone else is thinking. Friendly staff and more of a family environment compared to many other gyms. Unlike "Peak", this gym is definitely not a "meat market". A bit expensive, and time for some equipment updates, but all and all a great place to accomplish your goals. Personal trainers here are to notch. Pro Body Builder Mike Dickson is HIGHLY recommended, but may have a waiting list at this point.

• Pros: Everything you need in freeeweights and machines
• Cons: Expensive, and due for some upgrades.

Awesome place to workout!!!

by ksgia at Citysearch

I have to admit how nervous I was when signing into a gym. It has been a while, I run mostly on a treadmill at home. The people working for this location were the sweetest & most accommodating. So if you are like me, want to feel comfortable & get in shape at the same time. Then this is the place!!

old equipment

by bobcat22 at Citysearch

I live in Birkdale a mile from club and have been very disappointed with the facility. If you are used to a modern city club then forget FitCare at Birkdale. There is limited equipment and most of it is over 10 years old. There is a pool and a basketball court but if you are into weights and cardio machines then look somewhere else. It reminds me of a small YMCA but charges like a real club!

• Pros: Pool, Basketball court
• Cons: Sparce equipment, Old equipment, Kids
