EDIT: in response to recent reviews stating everything has changed under new ownership/management, this review reflects experience with the current childcare, as well as experience with the current owner, as well as my personal opinion as a certified personal trainer. The prices also reflect a change with the current owner. It was previously more affordable, and commensurate with the size and quality of this particular gym. Remember, if anyone tells you "don't think about it, just do it," you should definitely think about it.
The Gym of Cleveland is decent for a hole in the wall gym if you squint. The problem is that they are trying to charge premium gym prices for an experience that does not live up to the cost.
At a base price of $35/month, they are charging more than comparable gyms (such as Dahlonega Fitness Center) and more than considerably better gyms like One Life Fitness. Add to this the cost for childcare at $15/month (it was $5/month under previous ownership), which is, again, the same as the cost for One Life's childcare, which has an expansive area for the kids as well as a minimum of two workers at all times.
The next issue is maintenance. There have been numerous issues over the years with water, A/C, equipment malfunctions, and more which always took far too long to resolve.
When I finally cancelled my membership, it took two months (and multiple calls to the owner) to get them to stop charging my account. Additionally, there is the question of the qualifications of the personal trainers. Which I encourage any interested parties to research for themselves prior to signing any liability waivers.
Overall, for the cost/benefit, there are multiple other options which offer better value and experience.
