Looked more like what you see in a hotel than a serious gym. Hoping the newer fitness centers have improved. I am primarily interested in free weights as I run outside and do not use the aerobic machines. Any current info much appreciated.
MVP Sport Club does have free weights and that section of the gym is not usually crowded when I go there in the early afternoon. They have dumbells up to 90lbs.

They have 3 Olympic barbell benches with plate weights, and a Smith machine. There are also loads of plate weight cable machines. There's are at least 2 dozen treadmills for those rainy days you'd like to run indoors.

There's many classes that come free with membership; like spinning, group power, group active, boot camp and more. As a lifter, like me, you will probably benefit from the group power class. It's a full hour of lifting to music and targeting every muscle group in your body in that hour. You control the amount of weight you lift. It's entertaining and effective.

Check out their website as recommended
