I found my favorite local gym - the staff are super hospitable, personally accommodating, and all do a great job of cultivating a growth environment. The employees are always friendly and inviting - shoutout to Maurice, Maddie, and OShea who usually welcome me in. I look forward to going to ECA, especially for the champs classes with Jake, Dallas, and Taysia - theyve all been instrumental in improving my technique and strength, and have provided a really encouraging and stoked-up training environment.
The initial gym tour provided me with valuable personal insights, and from there, monthly reprogramming sessions and casual conversations with staff have helped me create, clarify, and refine sensible training, nutrition, and recovery plans to reach my goals. Shoutout to Chase, Dallas, Maurice, Melissa, and Jake for all taking the time to work with me and fill a ton of gaps in my knowledge; the collective knowledge at ECA is vast! Ive been pleasantly surprised by my strength and body composition improvements since I joined a few months ago, and a huge part of that has come from joining the champions classes and making friends with the trainers.

I am relatively new to strength training so finding a comfortable, clean, helpful gym was important to me. Ive really enjoyed the experience at ECA so far. The facilities are clean, brightly lit, and 2 I come in, I feel motivated! Even when theres a bit more people, Ive never felt like I was waiting for weights or a machine etc. Things just flow. I feel the gym is really well equipped. Lastly, the staff is awesome! Everyone has been super welcoming and helpful. Im a ClassPass user but I am strongly considering canceling that in favor of a membership here! Its been about three months of trying ECA and its made strength training something I look forward to!

I've been a member since the day ECA opened. Lots of free weights, adjustable benches, barbells and dumbbells, machines, squat racks, cardio machine, hydrotherapy, stretching room, and more. Weekdays they open at 5 am and 7 on the weekends.

I thoroughly enjoy the gym and appreciate the attentive staff. However, one improvement I strongly suggest is increasing the number of mirrors throughout the facility. Currently, there's only one mirror on a single wall in the general area, which often becomes overcrowded and overwhelming. Having more mirrors would help distribute the flow of exercises like curls and ensure proper form for all members.
