Powerhouse Gym - Pensacola

They probably have 30 or 40 treadmills. It’s a fairly big place and there are usually 20 to 30 people in there. It’s probably one of the bigger ones in Pensacola. It’s almost the same size as another fitness center as far as the equipment goes. They are a franchise. There are 4 or 5 of them. I think there are some in Mobile and some in North Carolina. There are lots of people in there. There are a couple of trainers working out with different people. They automatically bill and the membership fee is like $16 a month. They double charge twice a year for equipment which is like $16 twice. It seems to be a lot pricier. You have to give them a notice or a letter if you want to drop out. I use the ellipticals. They have a room in the back where they have a circuit of different kinds of weights. They have a sauna too. That’s mostly what I use. The other people use free weights. They have some tanning rooms in there that they are trying to push, but I don’t know if they have got a lot of success. They have showers and lockers and stuff. I also use the circuit weight machines and the sauna. The environment used to be terrible. As a matter of fact, I quit about 10 years ago, but it’s much better now. They have a lady there that is cleaning all the time during the day. Sometimes people go into the sauna and read magazines. Then the heat makes it come apart. So, the paper is all over for sometimes two to three days. There are few things like that which are not quite what it could be. They are open 24 hours a day. They close at night on weekends. They are closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas, but they are always open most of the times. If I want to go right now, they are open. I don’t want to go real late in the day when everybody is getting off work because it’s pretty crowded in there sometimes. They are open 7 days a week and 24 hours a day during the week. They open up at 5 o’clock on Monday morning and then they close down at 9 or 10 o’clock on Friday night. I think 9 or 10 because I have never been there that late on a Friday night. They have TV’s in there. On the elliptical machines, they have a little plug in for your ear phones and everything. So, you can listen to the TV as well. The staff won’t talk to anybody very often and they just sit at the desk. Their billing is fine. I get my credit card debited every month and there is no issue there. Once it’s set up and everything, it’s automatic. I have been going there for about two to three years now.
