What do you who live here consider the best all around gym and why?

I’ve been a member of Franco’s, PAC and Stone Creek over the decades. I’m a member of Stone Creek right now. It’s probably the nicest but they are all pretty much the same. My decision to join one or the other always came down to proximity. The closest one to my house won.

The one that puts you in the least amount of traffic.

PAC has easily the best weight and machine floor. Francos has the best performance room with power lifting racks. Stone creek has the best amenities.

Are you going to the gym to grind some weight? Go to Francos
Are you going to the gym to hit a bunch of machines and dumbells? Go to PAC
Are you going to the gym to enjoy all the extras? Go to Stone Creek

Also location is pretty important bc traffic is bad multiple times per day in the areas of all 3 of them. I've been a member of all 3 at some point and I currently go to Stone Creek just due to where I live now. Don't feel like spending 30 minutes in traffic trying to get to the other 2

My back yard. It's very exclusive, though.

Was member at Franco’s years ago and quit after it got so crowded and smelly

I got tired of that smell of urine- bleach.

Joined pac and liked it and would have stayed but moved out of the area

Been to stone creek a bunch of times for tennis tournies and it’s in its own league when it comes to facilities, atmosphere and overall quality. I hear they limit their membership numbers too and that’s a big deal
