I've been going to this gym location since 2001, long before it was Fit Republic. It was Linda Evans Fitness Center when I first joined and was later bought out by 24 Hour Fitness. Then they closed their doors and the place sat empty for 14 months before becoming Fitness Evolution. Now they are under new ownership and have changed the name to Fit Republic, even though it's all the same equipment, same great prices, and same wonderful staff. This place has been my second home for many years! It is a short drive from my house and even on busy days, you can always find parking and a machine to use. It is very clean and well-maintained. The staff are extremely nice and I consider some of them to be friends now. I enjoy working out here more than I have at any other gym I have tried over the years. And the price is unbeatable! I spend at least two hours here every single day and love it! This place actually makes me look forward to working out. I love that it's small because all the regulars have become like family to me since we see each other all the time. My only complaint is that it is way too hot in the cardio room. A gym should be cold and have plenty of air circulating. This place has had air conditioning issues for years, but that's not the fault of Fit Republic. That blame lies squarely on the landlord who can't seem to get a handle on the problem. The manager has been doing his best to keep the place cool while they get the problem resolved with the landlord. The manager is always on top of any issues that arise and keeps us informed of what is going on. The new owner is also extremely friendly and has made a point of going around and getting to know the regulars like me and my friends. I think that's really important, especially for a small gym like this and it shows that he cares about the members at his establishment. He inherited a lot of problems that weren't addressed when it was Fitness Evolution and he's doing his best to get the issues resolved. I LOVE THIS GYM!!!
I love my gym! The manager is so awesome, he is always polite, very upbeat and give me the positive energy every time I go there. The gym is small, but they are doing the renovation so that the workout area is bigger. I typically spend anywhere between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours easily. It is not one of the fanciest gyms but you can get your great workout done.
