Olympic Athletic Club

Overall, its just really good vibes and I don’t know what else I could ask for in a gym — it’s inviting, warm, old, clean, has chandeliers, old paintings, etc. Tons of classes and it’s like three gyms in one.. highly recommended.. - two swimming pools + hot tub - sauna/steam rooms in the locker rooms (women have a jacuzzi in one of their locker rooms) - basketball 8-11pm every day (sat/sun different), pretty clean floors - super friendly staff (and people in general) - tons and tons of machines and workout spaces (places you can drop the weights, get a full rack to yourself, empty studio rooms for yourself / stretching.. they even have private sort of workout rooms with curtains, not sure how to describe them but if you’re self conscious or cant be bothered you’d love it)

After almost 4 years of not going to the gym, 5 months ago I took the leap and I started training with Pete Peterson, first the stats. I weighed 270 lbs at the start I am know 260.lbs. My Muscle Mass was 110 it is now 118.8 ( that's .2 from 9 lbs of new muscle). My Body Fat was 29.8 it is now 22.6. Every month I have exceeded my expectations and if you have a trainer that is what you should demand of your trainer, RESULTS! Beating Expectations and Overall improved body muscle and health, CHECK!. I also am now a 36 waist when I started I was 40. That felt awesome to share! My review. I read Petes bio and I felt he was the best match for me. Picking a trainer for someone who has trained for over 30 years (I'm 52) is not easy, because I need someone that will push me, explain to me why I am doing this when I ask intelligently and knows his SH$T because you can't fake it with someone who lived to train since his teens and there is nothing worse than a fake poser trainer! but with the pandemic, herniating my lower disks (L4/L5) and owning my own company which means I work sometimes 24-7, and with travel every month I got severely out of shape, packed on 35+ lbs, dropped in muscle mass, waist size expanding from a 34 to a 40 and I just became a couch potato with damage self esteem. But 5 months ago and with some heavy pushing from my husband of 10 years I did it and it was the best thing I have done for myself in the last 4 years. Pete is not just an awesome person, he is super knowledgable about training, the body, fitness, and lots of other super fun stuff that can keep you engaged and motivated as your training. He took into consideration my injuries and my messy back which meant the first month/6 weeks was really getting my body realigned, getting it back into the rhythm of working out, and burning off the fat. It also meant getting my confidence back to be in the gym. The last 5 months I have maintained a 3 day a week schedule with Pete, packed with muscle building, fat burning routines that have transformed my body faster than I ever thought possible! I posted my 5 months results as proof of how good Pete is, it amazing how a person can motivate you and keep you motivated plus talk to you clearly about why you are doing this, why you are doing that, here is the path and what the goal. I am person that needs to know the person I am training with know his SH$T and I need to see results or you're not my trainer, period. Now my husband trains with, Pete a buddy of ours just started training with Pete and a few more friends are thinking of switching their trainers for Pete based on the results I have had, at 52! so I no spring chicken! You want to get back to you fighting weight, to wear clothes you feel good in, to look in the mirror and whistle at yourself because your so HOT, to bring your sexy back in your relationship big time! Pete is your man. Thanks Pete, you're a game changer buddy!

I have been working out here for almost a year now. The facility is gorgeous. Easily the most beautiful gym I've ever been to. I adore that it has a sauna in the locker room both steam and hot. There's a hot tub in the womans locker room, and a private gym for woman also attached to the womans locker room. However after the remodel I have felt a shift. It feels like their goal is to pack as many people in as possible with no thought to the experience of the people here anymore. At peak times Monday specifically there is a wait time for the showers. Good luck using a machine you like. Other things that have been frustrating is theres been in an influx of teenagers working out together. I've witnessed them sitting on machines watching tiktok and not even working out. Or grouped up in the locker room not allowing people to get to their locker or making fun of them for politely asking to use their own locker. Many people are on their phones in the locker room even though it's supposed to be a safe space. Because it's so busy there's often a lack of towels. Sometimes I have to go to other areas of the gym to find towels to stock the shelves myself. The steam room often isnt working or isnt very strong which is half the reason I force myself to workout sometimes. I've seen gym tours where they're rushing through it to pack more tours in, they've even said, sorry we dont have a lot of time to give this tour. Furthermore the front desk staff seems more concerned with their own conversations than saying goodbye to people. They've said goodnight maybe 5 times to me the entire time I've been working out here and when I sit and wait for my partner the conversations I hear are interesting to say the least. I'm not saying they should have to work in silence but I do believe they should be greeting all guests and their conversations should be second to that. All in all it's a good gym. I'm just scared the quality is starting to suffer.

GOOD TIP: Start legal using camera in a gym without recording and they will offer you full refund) They do not have a membership policy in a public access. I went to this club 2 weeks and was wrongly blamed 2 time by managenents. 1) 06.09.2023 at 9:35 the first time old lady made an intervention into my superset execise for legs, she broken the possibility to do my second execise iimediately after the first execise. I did allowed she to join me as a 2nd person two times because she was to old and weak for looking for the same equipment on 3d floor. Two time she refused to return an equipment into previous state. She said I should do that. I did not let she to join 3d time because 2 prevous violations and I need 5 seconds between my 2 execises in superset(she mades me to spend 1 minute to fix equipment). She complained. Manager came and explained me club rules in abusive tome of voice, he did not try to figure out what happened. I asked more questions and he also explained that the 2nd person MUST return equipment into configuration previously used by 1st person. He ignored my explaination and he did not make any notice to that 2nd person after. He also ignored the fact 2nd person could use the same exuipment on another floor. I did evericing right and I was blamed that I did somethig wrong. He could review CCTV recording before, try to take my point of view, but he only trusted 2st person and did not trust me. Also, that manager came to me and started talking immediately, did not let me to finish my execise with big weight. 2) 13.09.2023 a sales person told me that someone complained I am doing video recording during my execise. I explaination there is no recording on, I am not talking just listening via airbuds and looking into screen, camera pointed on me and one more time NO recording. He chanded blame to "using camera", I explained it's not prohibited with "no recording". He failed to give a reference to violated club rule. Then he changed blame to using "cell phone" in general, he completly forgot that previous day she told it's ok to use "online trainer" installed on mobile phone. Then general manager came and told I did not make something wrong but another clients complains, I cant continue using club because another clients complained and offered me a refund. One more time I did evericing right and I had bad feeling that I did somethig wrong. I did discuss using online trainer just before signing a membership and it was okey. I belive they should work with another clients and explain them there is no recornding and no club rules violated. I do understand people around are woring about video recording in public space (and about 100s of things), but that is not my business. I refused 100% refurn (220 usd for 1 month) and have taken only 100 usd because I alredy visited club 2 weeks. They select to force me out, because they respect money from unhappy clients but not my rights as a member. They respect fake complains and sales ignored my request to give reference to membership policy. They stopped my training process and I need to pay enrollment fee in another club.
