Im thinking about joining Spunk Fitness. I am currently at another gym. Is there a wide range of dumbbells, barbells and free weight bench press/incline press?

Been a member of this gym for a long time and its just a great club all around. Im in here a lot and the staff is very friendly. As a military member, they always take care of me when I have to go out of town and Ive never had any issues. Matter of fact when I was deployed and one of the employees found out that I hadnt stopped my membership while I was gone ( I forgot) he went out of his way to ensure that I didnt get charged the next couple months after I came home just to help me out. Extremely thoughtful of them. Keep up the good work guys!!!

Joined back around January of this year and my first charge to my credit card for membership I was charged a late fee even though my card was on file with them. I went up and asked why I was being charged a late fee and they could not give me a good reason and would not refund my card. The next month I was charged an extra $5.00 for something that when I asked what this charge was they said a smoothie which I never bought. Then when the gym opened back up after Covid19 I was charged the monthly membership and I had not been there in months when I called them and told them I would not be coming back once again they would not refund my card. Also dont do the consultation its a ploy to get you to sign up for a personal trainer which is another $200.00

Ive been going to this gym on and off for about 4yrs. This is a great neighborhood gym with a friendly environment. Only complaint I have is they dont have a free weight squat rack only Klein machines. Although they do have everything else you may need for training. The staff and the atmosphere is definitely 5 star.

Its ok if you know what you are doing. If you new to going to the gym and dont know what equipment will hit your target area, this is not the place for you. I tried to get the special with 1 visit with a trainer so I at least didnt hurt myself, no go. Cant bring in any one to help you. Basically Ive been going for over 6 months at 2-4 times a week for almost 2 hrs workout and lost no weight. To break your contact will seriously cost you so Im hanging in there till the end.

I have to say I love this gym but the very big problems are not addressed so thats why I rate them a three and not a 5. I feel this place predominantly caters to only Men. They have the newest work out equipment (of course its for anyone to use but there is no kinda of tutorial on how to use it) so much women stay away from it not because we dont want to use it but there is no one around to show us how. Also there are paper towels consistently by the weights to sanitize the equipment but I have been here over a year and the ladies locker room has never seen a paper towel in the dispensaries let a alone sanitary waste baskets in the bathroom stalls. Does management think women dont have menstrual cycles? Lastly there are no female trainers while I am sure the male trainers are great at there job it is still better for a business to give women the option to train who they can feel comfortable with. I feel management doesnt care to address any female concerns or request only because I have been here for over a year and maybe management is just more okay with this being a place for men since they are the highest group of members whove joined

Spunk fitness is a great place to work out. Its an amazing atmosphere. I love coming here everyday I walk in. Everyone I have ever met here has been a great new person to get to know. I dont know what I would do if this gym ever closed down. It has literally became part of my life.

I love the overnight guy Javed who works on the weekends he is very friendly and helpful. I always get a warm smile from him he is a delight to talk to an very helpful. I always see him cleaning non stop he does a great job. I recommend stopping in to sign up today just because of that young man. He also makes the best tasting smoothie Ive ever had.

A place for those that are very interested in building their muscles. Individuals can work out loudly without having to worry much about an alarm. Ive been attending for 3 years. Heaviest dumbbells Ive seen are 85 lbs.

Pretty awesome gym for $10/month. Has everything you need, from barbells, to dumbbells, to machines. Reasonable number of bench press, only reason for 4 stars is: no squat rack, only Smith machine.. -_-

Been a member for at least 5 years. Nice gym, nice employees,good equipment.. only gripe would be some dumbells to 100lbs would be nice(only got 75lbs)and a power rack for squats n ohps.. thats just being picky though... pretty decent gym,especially for the price...

Review №22

Very nice gym. Been going for a few months now. Mixed crowd in both age and fitness goals. Notice a lot of friendly regulars and hardly any gym rats or muscle heads.The showers are a little dingy (some mold on wall tile grout) but otherwise functional. Been walked in on by female staff while naked/changing in the locker area or when coming out of the showers, which is a bit disconcerting. Otherwise, very good overall.

Review №41

Ive been coming to spunk for a while now and i love it because its never really packed,so you can get a good workout all the way through without waiting. My only issue is the two young ladys who work at the front desk around 8,they were very rude to my mom, before we came she called and asked if she could use my dads membership without him being their since shes his wife, the young lady said sure, we can do that for you,than we proceeded to the gym just fir them to stop my mom and tell her she could not use it without my dad being there,good thing im a member or we would have wasted a trip. I think its very stupid to have a second memebership if your spouse already has one,other than that i like spunk

Spunk fitness is ran by staff of a cast that should be on a soap opera , Ive had nothing but problems from this organization since Ive started going there ! The entire staff is nothing but high school kids so you can guess how its being ran ! My latest encounter was ROY the manager said one of his staff accusing me of peeing in the tanning room trash cans , talk about being insulted even after there whole reign of daily drama I kept going there to try to show some type of loyalty but they didnt show it back ! It only worsened with time ! If youre not willing to sacrifice your dignity I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone !
