mediocre gym

I find that the people working here are borderline snobby and definitely not friendly and welcoming. Seems like there are always several of them standing around talking to each other at the front desk, yet very rarely do they say hello when you arrive. I recently asked for an extra towel when I checked in, and was pompously informed that I couldn't have one. My MAIN concern with this gym is the lack of upkeep on their equipment. The main draw for me was the steam room, and the steam room has been out of service for probably over a month now. Very frustrating. Also, they post that children under 13 are not allowed in the upstairs locker rooms, but on several occasions, I've seen children way under 13 in there. Or often playing on the elypticals and bikes on the exercise floor. Very distracting when you are trying to get in a good workout.
