Taking a look at Jen S’s review from St Paul MN, who has been going there for years, her kids always have fun while in the pool and there are always kids to play with. The staff and members are more diverse than any gym she has been to. They have plyo boxes, kettle bells and trx for their members to use! Her main objective is to workout hard and go home. Their staff are friendly without being overbearing. Their spinning bikes are brand new and super fancy.
