Great fitness center located on the top floor of the shopping center. The gym is super clean. The changing rooms are spacious and the lockers are large. While they seem to have a focus on machines at the gym, it is possible to squat, deadlift, bench press, etc. They are equipped for dumbbell and barbell training. The staff are friendly and there are plenty of cardio machines as well as some cross fit type equipment.
