The Rush Asheville Gym

i

They have a large selection of equipment. I also take the fitness classes and they have a lot of time slots, which is good. Their price is great for me because I get it free.

The sales staff was efficient and friendly. The price is fantastic and the facility is open 24 hrs a day. I have used this facility regularly and give it very high marks overall. Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful building/facility Friendly Staff Pool and Sauna great

They just have a lot of classes and good facilities, and good prices.

Initially, sent an email for more information. I was contacted by a sales representative and he asked if I could come meet him within the next 48 hours. I made an appointment with him that same evening. When I arrived at the facility, I was taken to the sales area. There were 6-8 sales people sitting behind desks. It felt like I was at a car dealership. I've never been to a facility where I had to meet with a sales rep to sign up for a membership, let alone a trial membership. He asked me some questions about what I was looking for in a gym and as I was trying to tell him, he kept interrupting me and asking if I'd be interested in a personal trainer or what my fitness goals were. He gave me a quick tour of the facility. I asked if they had rowing machines because I did not see any and he said, "of course," but still wouldn't show me where they were.We went back to the sales desk and I asked if I could get the 5-day free trial membership. He said yes and that I could apply that to a regular membership. He talked very fast, wrote some figures on a paper and asked if I could pay the $189 initiation fee and $56 per month membership fee. I said I could not afford that. He than asked where I worked and then proceeded to get his "sales manager." The sales manager came over and asked how I was as, if he knew me. I must have looked puzzled because he then said, "you don't remember me?" I said no and that I had never been to the facility. He said, "No, no, it's been a couple years!" I then proceeded to tell him I just moved to Asheville from Iowa. Then he said he was kidding. It was very strange. The sales manager then said he had a deal I would really like. He said my initiation fee would be about $48 and my monthly membership would be $36, but I would have to sign up for a 2-year membership. I said I did not want to do that just yet and just wanted the free 5-day trial membership. Then he asked if I could pay month-to-month but that it would be more expensive. I persisted that I was just interested in the 5-day free trial membership. He looked frustrated and said that I could try out the facility for 4 days (NOT 5 like they advertise. Both the sales rep and manager seemed annoyed with me at that point. They said I could just show my ID at the front desk for those days and I said that sounded good. Then I asked where the locker room was as I intended to work out that evening and the sales rep pointed across the room and asked if I saw it, sort of laughing because I obviously didn't. Than he said to contact him to let him know about membership after I tried out the facility. After our meeting, I walked out the door and won't be back. The whole process gave me a really bad feeling.

The facility is clean, they have plenty of equipment and they have good hours.

All of the people are super helpful and friendly. The facility for what you pay is highly valuable. They have a chid care center and the hours are very good for that facility. They have everything you can think of to work out with.
