We got a week pass and had an incredible time! The staff was super friendly and the facility had everything we needed to continue our training while away on vacation. The best part is that unlike a large commercial gym, the smaller atmosphere meant it felt more like home and there was no waiting around for equipment! We will definitely be back on our next visit.
