Cold Plunge & Sauna
The men's sauna at Capital City Health Club is frequently reported as being out of order, with members noting persistent mechanical issues, including a door that does not close properly, over extended periods. The steam room in the men's locker room has also been cited as non-functional. These beneficial wellness amenities are often unavailable, which is a significant point of frustration for members seeking recovery features. The gym provides a traditional sauna, which is available for use when operational. Additionally, some members report that the hot tub can cause skin irritation for days after use.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed. Many members describe the staff as cheerful, nice, helpful, and kind, with specific praise for their welcoming attitude and enthusiasm in maintaining the gym. Trainer Alex is noted positively. However, several members report negative interactions with a staff member named Mallory, describing instances of perceived rudeness, unprofessional behavior regarding dress code enforcement, and a dismissive attitude.
Additional Amenities
This gym offers a variety of workout equipment and classes, which some guests find excellent. The facility includes a pool and a smoothie bar. Members have observed staff introducing new workout equipment and making improvements like paint touch-ups. However, other members criticize the overall quality of the gym machines, describing them as cheap and poorly designed, lacking proper tension on targeted muscle groups.
Atmosphere
Reports on the gym's atmosphere are conflicting. Some visitors appreciate the variety and find the equipment great. Conversely, other members describe a toxic gym culture, with people talking loudly on air pods and strutting around, which they feel detracts from a serious training environment. The facility's layout is also described by some as convoluted.
Pricing
Members note the gym charges over $70 per month and requires a 12-month contractual membership obligation upon sign-up. A common sentiment among members is that the cost feels high given the frequent non-functionality of key amenities and the state of maintenance.
