What is the sentiment of the following review?
The Village is not just a gym...it's a lifestyle. Like most have already said on here, the prices are more than other gyms in the area; but The Village is also so much more than other gyms in the area. I paid $500 to sign up and then pay around $140/month for my membership. Yes, this is a lot of money, but for me it is definitely worth it! I had signed up to the other gyms in the area at different times for $25-30/month, but I think I only went 2 times in the two years I was paying the memberships, so it was cheaper but not worth the price. I go to The Village sometimes 6 days per week and will even go when I'm not working out just to sit and do stuff on my laptop (they offer free Wi-Fi) or to get lunch or dinner at one of the two little cafes. The Village is what you make it; what you want it to be. You can go and just do weights and cardio in the extensive weight room and cardio room. They have tons of free weights and machines and then even more cardio equipment. Even during the busiest times at the gym I've never seen machines filled like I have seen at other places. There is a 1/18 mile track upstairs with another workout room that has a variety of equipment including a TRX and Kinesis. If you want to go above and beyond just working out by yourself there are many different classes which range from Zumba to Yoga to Spin to Athletic Conditioning and more. The Cycling room has, I think, 45 bikes which are completely adaptable to you and very comfortable for spin classes. The Yoga room is beautiful, calming, relaxing and not out in the open like many other gyms. There is a Pilates room which is fully equipped with reformers and tons of other Pilates stuff. There is also a basketball court, squash court, raquetball courts, 15 tennis courts and 2 pools, both heated one for play and one for laps. They have a full spa and salon, a wine bar that serves food, cafe that serves food and smoothies. The locker rooms are fully equipped...you don't have to bring anything except the clothes you plan on wearing home! I don't have kids, but they also have locker rooms for families and rooms for kids while parents are working out. Like I said, The Village is what you make it. This is true with the different activities that they offer. There are hikes, running groups, weight loss competitions and non-exercise related activities, like Casino Night. I love The Village and I am not a "gym-rat" type person at all. The people are friendly, healthy and you can definitely see that they enjoy being at The Village when they are there, compared to other places where it is a chore to get into the gym.
