VENT FitnessReviews of ventfitness.com

I visit this fitness center almost a year. I like the staff here. My favorite training is TRX.

I appreciate the cleanliness and fresh smelling aroma of the gym. I'm a clean freak and can't stand smelling feet and arm-pits while working out.

The staff is sometimes dismissive particularly the younger employees When I was introduced to the facility I was shown around however nothing was explained in depth or demonstrated, specific examples the hydro massage and the tanning booths. The "goal" consultation with a personal trainer and supervisor was good however there were no "leave behinds" such as work out suggests or bench marks that were discussed. Other than those comments its been a good experience

everything was good as usual except for the shower soap dispensers.. One was not operating as it should. I opened it to check for soap and found a lot of mold/ mildew?? inside. I moved to another shower stall for a usable soap dispenser and checked the interior of that one and found it in the same condition.. a periodic spray of bleach, vinegar, whatever would prevent this.

Switching to Vent from Planet Fitness was a great choice for me personally as the gym seems more focused on serious fitness-minded individuals. This is motivational if anything. I don’t consider myself a gym rat by any stretch, but working out (primarily weight training) in a gym with a catered selection of machines, benches, dumbells, and free weights, accompanied by serious weight lifters, is a good atmosphere to promote more desire to progress. I like that all four locations do not have the exact same equipment. It switches up the atmosphere if there is a certain machine at Latham that Clifton Park doesn’t have for the day you do shoulders (just an example). The staff is relatively friendly and the facilities are sufficient. Some machines, like the cables at Clifton Park, could use some attention (minor repairs, tune ups, etc). The cardio equipment at Latham is a bit outdated. Some of the hammer strength machines have awkward positioning, (i.e. seated military press) but that is likely an individual preference on my part. Overall, I am more than pleased that I joined Vent.

My only dislike in the 2 weeks I've been a member is that upgrading isn't cost effective. I understand that the $9.99 per month is a contract, but I'm willing to pay the additional $20 a month to go to the next level. I'd even be willing to sign a 3 or 6 month, even a one year contract to join at he level, but they only offer month to month. So , in essence, I;d lose my $99.99 sign up fee and still have to pay the extra $20 a month. Guess I'll be staying at level 1.

Most of the time I can use vent fitness as a great get away from my busy schedule, but I hate it when some creepy dude shows up on the scene, especially in locker room.

I am really happy with vent. As a busy mom, they have everything I need to get in and out. The only reason I give them 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish they allowed their level 1 members to participate in their other services (for higher level members) on an ala carte basis. But otherwise, clean, plenty of machines, well maintained, and great technology choices with their cardio equipment.
