I love this fitness center, It's always nice and clean! This gym has everything you would expect in a gym including an indoor pool. The equipment is up-to-date and is always operable. The owner, Mr. Berry, is the coolest. If you reside in or near Monroe you should definitely consider this gym.
Cannot sing Mr. Berry's praises enough! He has single handedly kept high school competitive swimming alive and well in Social Circle, Monroe & Walnut Grove! He cares about his customers, his employees and his community! Gym is always clean, I always feel safe there and he is constantly updating his equipment and classes offered!
Best decision I've ever made was to join Walton Fitness 24. I take the Arthritis Water Aerobics class. Every Tuesday and Thursday. At 2:00p.m. And it's Loads of Fun and Amazing the way it makes your Body feel is Amazing. I wish I would have joined that class a long long time. ????
The gym has a lot of free weights and a fair amount of cardio equipment. It's very bare bones, no TVs, nothing fancy, but fine. The reason for 3 stars, and I was thinking about 2 stars, is cleanliness. I won't use the ladies showers, there's black mold in the grout on the walls and floor. The locker room is severely lacking. It has some lockers, but no benches to sit on to change. I swim, dry off, and go home to shower so I don't have to touch things in the locker room. I would be hesitant to use weight machines without wiping off with a disenfectant first.
The gym is an old school gym where free weights dominate the floor which is great for my goals. It is nice to workout in a gym that is not dominated by a ton of cardo equipment that no one uses. The reason for the 3 stars is that they have as poor cleaning crew. I get to the gym at a very early time in the morning and the trash cans are over flowing with paper towels. There are empty and partially filled water bottles laying around. The showers are not cleaned daily for I have see garbage on top of the shower surrounds be up there for weeks before being removed. I have been known to take the sanitizer spray off the gym floor to spray on the shower walls to help feel better about taking a shower. Because I am getting to the gym very early this leads me to believe that the cleaning crew is either not doing their job or they are cleaning prior to the evening rush being over. Would love to give a higher rating but the cleanliness of the gym is what leads to my 3 star review.
