Urban Body Fitness

For a gym that charges about $500 a year for a membership, UBF is sorely lacking in amenites - basically offering a few racks of weights, a few wellworn machines, the usual handful of tired classes (lots of beginning yoga and cardio kick!), limited hours (they just cut back their weeknight hrs to 10pm), no steam/sauna, etc. It's basically a two story concrete space with weights upstairs and a tiny cardio space and teeny class studio space downstairs. The rest of the space is used to try to make more money off you by shilling their massage, haircut, and trainer svcs for extra $$. And customer service is the WORST, no one is ever at the upstairs reception desk, requiring you to check in downstairs. And forget about finding desk people at night - they're off doing side work like cleaning the place so they can leave early after a couple of hrs of standing idly by. Go elsewhere - you can do so much better for the $$$.

PROS: location
CONS: really substandard customer service, severely limited amenities
