12/​26/​2014: CO-​ED WOMEN’S BATHROOM. Witnessed a male, I believe to be a staff trainer, send a boy of about 10 years old into the women’s locker room. The staff treat women’s locker room as Co-​Ed. DO NOT RECOMMEND DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES.
12/​15/​2014 entry edited on 12/​17/​2014: After a personal encounter of a male in the Women’s showers, the front desk’s reply was «there is no rule against it.»
The front desk is not at all helpful or caring of basic modesty/​safety issues. I am concerned a real issue would be met with same inaction and severe injury could result. Women have no allowance for modesty or safety.

Great facility and location. I feel comfortable going in there and the equipment is user friendly. If you need help with learning how to use a peice of equipment, they are happy to show you. Some of the staff are not very friendly, but there are several who are… just have to learn who they are and avoid the ones who aren’t. Management needs to concider training their employees to have a smile on their face and treat their customers with a positive attitude. I have one bit of advice you might want to take into consideration: Wipe down the equipment you use BEFORE you use it and then again AFTER you use it! I see many people walk away from exercising without taking time to clean it. Very unsanitary and rude… but it happens a lot.

Great health club and friendly staff.

At Last! Leavenworth has a nice gym. It’s huge, professional, and not full of buff-​creeper types. It’s totally family oriented with a number of classes such as yoga, step, zumba etc., and even some barbell curcuit classes for us guys. I have not tried the spin classes yet, but they have a whole room dedicated to it. New cardio machines with iphone hookups and several channels to pass the time. 3 lane pool, aquatic classes, kid pool area and hot tub. CHEAP day care, like 1 $ an hour. The locker room/​shower facilities are top notch. Wet Sauna in each locker room They are putting in a hair salon, and they have a health supplement store attached with good prices.
They just made the big move from the mall (which is closing) to behind Applebees in a huge former grocery store. Many reviews I read online prior to joining were actually about Maximus, which they bought out.
Membership prices are around 40 – 50 $ single 60 – 70 $ couple depending on a 12 – 36 month membership, and the initiation fee $ 200 single $ 300 couple. They had quite a bit of wiggle room on the initiation fee, mine was $ 56 which was not asked for but offered. Sales 101 for the close.
Complaints…This is hard. They have free towel service, but the towels are typical motel six YUK. They work, but are thin and abrasive… typical gym towel. Parking is not good in the afternoon. You can get parking but may have to walk as much as 100 yards to get there. Wiping of machines in the cardio room does not happen by many of the newer patrons. Educate them please, at least with a polite sign.
Overall, this is truely a blessing to the Leavenworth, Lansing community. My final summary: Big, Clean, Affordable, Professional.
Out!

Don’t really know were to start. Even before this club opened they were lying to people They were going to have a sauna and whirlpool. Three years later still no pool or sauna. The place is dirty and equipment always
many young smart mouth kids work there who do not care about the people. The owner Scott Hutson will not answer letters or phone calls from members he just wants your money. They only have two personal trainers who know anything. And make sure if you take a class your instructor is up todate on firstaid and cpr. the club has no AED.
