Problem: What would be an example of an positive review?

Answer: I have been going to this gym for a little over 2 months now. I got a groupon around new years that was for a year long membership. So far I have no complaints- the gym is clean, it has never been so crowded that I had to wait to use a piece of equipment, and the staff is friendly. More detailed review I do cardio 5x a week- either running/elipitcal or stair master. I lift 3x a week. I have a certain amount of flexibility in when I can go so here are some tips from me From about 4-7pm- this is the busiest time at the gym- there are a lot of classes like cardio kickboxing and dance aerobics that take place during this time. This is also when the personal training part seems to be booming the most. This means parking is a little iffy and the weight area is pretty busy. It is a perfect time, however, to do the cardio machines as other than people doing their short warm ups there is almost never anyone using them. One of the negative reviewers mentioned that there are a lot of people lurking around/not working out - this is true from 4-7. There are a lot of people before/after or in between workouts talking /socializing. I'm not sure why this is a problem for her- its not like you have to talk to them. But if you will be too distracted by socializing to work out this might not be the time for you. 9pm- close- this place is a wasteland at these times. Me and my roomate will frequently be the only non staff members in the gym. For me this is perfect but other people who want to work out in a more social atmosphere may not like it. Staff- all seem very nice. Since I go late at night I see them clean every day so I havebeen impressed by the thorough job they do- wiping down every machine with disenfectant, vacuuming everywhere etc. They have little stations with wipes to use on the equipment (although like everything else some people choose not to use them when they are done) Equipment- is all pretty good. As noted in other reviews, not every single piece of cardio equipment has a TV on it which is apparently a deal breaker for some people. I've only ever seen 1 or 2 treadmills that were out of order and they were fixed quickly. The one complaint I would have is that they don't have enough space/equipment for olympic style lifting in the weight area but apparently thats not very popular as I have never seen anyone else using it so it isn't really a problem. Nit picking- the water fountains. I bring my own water so this is only an issue when I drink it all but the upstairs water fountain the water comes out fast but isn't cold. The downstairs one the water comes out cold but really slowly. A minor annoyance at best. They recently got rid of the 2 screens in the cardio area and replaced it with a giant projector which is cool- especially when I go at night they always have basketball or something interesting playing- although there have been a few nights of Nashville wives that made me rethink my personal fitness goals.

Answer: I get the theme of the restaurant but the service was horrible. I asked for lemon about 5x and didnt get it till I was done with my food. The food was horrible, dry and had no flavor and it was waaaayyyy over priced. You couldnt pay me to go back.
