Pleasant Place to workout  4 Star Rating - Very good

I really love the spin classes at Club One. The instructor has a ton of energy and is always switching up the "ride". I also enjoy the Conditioning Classes. Overall my experience at Club One has been good.

A great range of workout options to fit your style!  2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

On first glance, Club One was not the kind of gym that I originally considered for myself. Lots of rooms with exercise equipment, a basketball gym, an elevator taking you to other floors. The question was: was it going to feel impersonal and hardcore, and too much of things I would never use and not enough of what I would? I was pleasantly surprised at how the place actually got me going. There are tons of classes that I could take advantage of, including dance like salsa, body conditioning (where the workouts are taught by an energetic but not over the top instructor that helps keep me connected), meditation and yoga, drumming and movement, in addition to all the other standard options like step, the bikes, bootcamp etc. There are even fans in some of the rooms, local phone access, a generous provision of towels, an outdoor pool, and a staff that encourages you when you tumble in each day. Lastly, a well-maintenanced hot tub and an interesting cross-section of people you can chat with to enlarge your day. So, if you are dedicated to your workouts or want to aim in that direction, you are going to like Club One!
