A great gym with plenty of equipment and room to workout. They just renovated with more open space and some new equipment. Had a really great workout today. Grt staff and location. A solid gym.
The only negative is the lighting is very harsh.

As a team, we reached out to another local gym to see if they would do a team discount on a weekly pass (10 people). Immediate no. Wolf, under the guidance of Tony, was more than happy to strike a deal with us. Not only was the team incredibly helpful and kind, but the quality of the gym is spectacular. I wholeheartedly recommend this gym to anyone.

Thank you so much for the kind words Daniel! I’m really glad we were able to work something out for your team and make you feel welcome while you were here. We always want W.O.L.F. to be a place where people feel taken care of, so hearing this means a lot. I’ll make sure Tony and the team see this too. Really appreciate the recommendation! 🐺

Be leery. I canceled my membership last month, after being a member for a few weeks. When I became a member, the staff treated me with kindness, yet all of that suddenly changed after I happened to walk into the locker room and see the fitness instructor shooting up something in his arm one morning. I didn't say anything to him, yet when he noticed that I saw it, he walked into one of the stalls. It seemed suspicious, but I let it go. However, ever since that moment, he treated me awful and always monitored my every move when I was working out. I was looking for a decent gym that was a no drama zone, yet this place isn't a healthy environment.
Response from the owner · a month ago
David, I’m just seeing this review now, but I do want to address it. We take our gym environment and the professionalism of our staff very seriously, and what you’re describing does not align with my experience with our team or the standards we maintain at W.O.L.F.
