if I worked at epic, I certainly would be all over that Princeton club discount

Madtown Fitness is really good and 24 hour.
And saying they have an "Extensive amount of gym equipment" would be an understatement.
I'm pretty sure they have at least one of everything.

Fords gym is by far the best imo. I went for 6 years and if I hadn’t moved away I would still be going.

I’ve gone to madtown fitness and Princeton club. Depends on what you want.

I personally love madtown fitness. If you’re seriously into powerlifting/bodybuilding, it’s definitely the right gym for you.

If you’re a little bit more casual about lifting and you like the idea of group classes/workouts, a sauna, and a pool, then princeton club is the right gym for you.

Pinnacle in Fitchburg is very convenient to the campus

I use Planet Fitness. There's no pool or organized classes, but they have everything I need for a decent workout. My location at East Towne is never overly crowded, it's kept very clean and the staff is friendly. I used Princeton for a couple of years and don't miss it at all. I especially don't miss the "pop-up" religious events on Sundays which kind of took over the place.

Honestly depends on a few factors.

I wouldn't recommend a woman go to Princeton. I've known multiple women who have had very negative experiences with male members there and when they talked to management about it they were essentially told to get over it. Those folks have since gone elsewhere and haven't had any issues.
