This is a great gym if you’re not into commercial gyms and you’re looking for a solid gym with the appropriate equipment. Many of the members here are experienced, and if you’re looking for guidance or tips, it’s a good place to learn.My two biggest complaints would be that most patrons don’t wipe down their equipment post-use. Something that definitely baffles me, just for how unsanitary that is, and how it should be a common practice across any fitness center.The second is that much of the equipment is manufactured by a certain brand that, while it gets the job done, may not be as user-friendly for those who are very short, very tall, or need smaller jumps between weight increments. Most of the equipment could use some touch ups, oiling, or repairs to make the experience smoother and more effective.As another note, there is no men’s locker room. Just single-person bathrooms. There is a “locker room” for women.Overall, I would recommend this gym to the majority of serious gym-goers. Friendly staff. Place might need a deep clean among the walls, but if you’re looking to get the job done, this place will definitely take care of that. Reasonable membership prices as well, considering the prices of other gyms. This gym doesn’t offer extra “perks” that some “nicer” gyms have, but again, many people aren’t looking for that at this particular gym.

Great gym! The clientele goes there for what its for, and you dont see many taking hours on a machine while taking selfies. The owner seems pretty cool. I only met him once, but there are no negative vibes from him or any of the trainers there. Definitely recommend this gym for a great workout.

Was in the area for work and had to book a hotel for the night through a third-party app (pre-paid), which initially showed that there was a fitness center at the hotel, but in reality, there wasnt one. On top of that, my keyfob, to a name-brand gym at around 10:00 p.m., wasnt working either at any of the neighboring locations. Found this place on Google, drove over, and walked right in. The nice gentleman at the front desk, after hearing my back story, let me use the facility at no charge! (*Of course, I had to sign a waiver)Twenty-four hour day passes are $25/day, and they also have options for weekly passes. At 10:10 p.m., there were only a handful of people; both guys and girls, everyone minding their own business. The place seemed like a neighborhood gym that is safe, very welcoming, judgment-free, and for people who are quite serious about their fitness goals. The facility is very clean and aesthetic, and all of the equipment are well maintained and properly placed with enough room for one to workout. The overall color combination and music selection are also well suited and motivational.The gym has two major sections, and one of them is mostly dedicated to leg workouts. They do have a small cardio section, and it has stairs - which some individuals prefer over other cardio equipment. Check out the pictures attached to this post to find out what other equipment they have.Highly recommend for anyone who lives within a few miles of the facility!

Here it goes... The Human Elite is a newer gym to the area and everything about it has been top notch for me. At first glance, the gym appears intimidating due to the clientele you see walking in through the doors. I mean super beefed up dudes and gals hit this gym- but dont let that deter you from coming in. It did for me...initially. It is a no- nonsense gym where you go, get your hour in, and walk away feeling like you accomplished something. The owners are nice. The people working out are nice. The place is clean, albeit a bit loud. Nobody gets in your business. The equipment works. For those interested in personal training- this is a place that offers that service from trusted professionals. Additionally, the price is super fair when compared to gyms in the area. I hope this gym builds a greater audience as it has so much potential.

I had such a phenomenal experience here! Upon my first visit, I was greeted by Devin, who was extremely kind and welcoming. He was very hospitable and seemed to get along with everyone that entered the gym. Such a great impression!The gym itself was clean and had everything I needed. All the equipment was top notch and in great shape. I personally loved the vibe and energy of this place. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a great gym with great people!

I was greeted by IFBB Pro/Coach Pete Ciccione, he was nice and told me I could check out the gym for a day pass at no charge. I currently train at The Gym in Chula but I work 10 min away from this facility and its more convenient for me, he said no problem and just told me to sign, very cool and down to earth.Boy where do I start...The equipment is just top notch, you have all kinds of machines, plenty of dumbbells, and overall just really cool vibes.. I was there for a good 2 hours and had such an amazing workout.I am definitely switching to this gym.
