Best Gyms with Locker Rooms With Showers near Albuquerque, New-mexico

I wish I could give this gym a higher rating but I have been going to the gym for the past year and management is horrible. When asking the GM Cathy to help me with my late fee she gave me smirky responses, like “I’ll wave the fee but it will come out of our employees check.” I did not feel comfortable after that day plz get back to me

I can only speak about the aqua center. Have explained to the staff that It is often very low in water and on 4 occasions, someone has filled it when we are in it (mid-morning). Then, it’s too cold to reap the benefits. We suggested that someone fill the hot tub prior to closing daily and allow it to warm up in the night. No such luck. Nothing there has improved. In fact, it appears to be getting worse. The pool area is rarely monitored or staffed so people sweat like pigs in the dry sauna and then get in the pool or hot tub without showering. Hot tub often looks dirty and instead of emptying it and cleaning it properly, I think they throw more chlorine in it… so much it burns your eyes. Pool equipment is often strewn about because members don’t put things away and there is often trash on the floor…wet Kleenex etc. Ugh.

The platonic ideal of the obnoxious gym. Music blasting at 80 dB (I just checked) so that I can't hear what's playing on my noise cancelling headphones. Often accompanied by bro blasting his own boom box. No one wants to deal with him. Sales reps walking around pushing shots of pre workout supplements. An aquatic area that needs to be soaked in bleach. Water fountains that have been saying for weeks that the filter needs to be changed. Machines in disrepair and weights missing. But it has new paint so that justifies the $50/month fee? Honestly I'd be much more forgiving if I could listen to my own music without going deaf. This volume is obscene.

Have any of these issues been resolved? I have been looking for a new gym and everyone recommends defined fitness but I don’t see justifying that amount per month for a facility that doesn’t live up to the price. Please get back to me.

Overall is a great gym with good energy. Almost anytime you go it’ll be busy but everyone has good gym etiquette and will let you work in. Is a gym for more serious lifters. Only complaint is the price ($50/month) and hours (closes @10PM).

I recently joined this gym and I’m grateful to have found it! Daniel was incredibly helpful during the membership process. He took the time to show us around, explain the equipment, and answer all of our questions. His professionalism and friendliness made the experience even better. One of the best things about this gym is that it’s open 24 hours, which makes it super convenient. I also feel completely safe going at any time of day or night, which is rare for Albuquerque and something I really appreciate as a female. The equipment is clean, well-maintained, and offers a great variety for different workouts. If you’re looking for a welcoming, well-equipped, and motivating place to work out, I highly recommend it!

Absolutely love this gym! Huge plus that they offer kangen water as that’s what I usually drink. Well worth it to pay the $20 for 24 hour access with the insurance discount. My other gym closes early on the weekends and I’m a night owl so 24 hour access is a blessing! Friendly staff and lots of great equipment. Love the aesthetic of the all black room too!

I have to say this gym really makes me feel comfortable and accepted. I always thought gyms were terrifying or judgmental, but this inclusive environment is top notch. This gym has 24/7 access, lots of gym equipment, security cameras, keyless front door access, and private bathroom with showers. The front desk and trainers are super friendly and helpful. Open Gym has been a real good experience for me and I’ve only been coming here for four months, I plan to stay here. Also, as far as other people, they are very respectful and mindful!

My Husband and I joined The Open Gym around seven months ago. We were made aware of the OG gym through their sister company The Elite Physique in Rio Rancho. Although we spend most of our mornings at Elite we periodically visit the OG in the late mornings to early afternoons. Every time we have come the personality of all staff including trainers and cleaning personnel have been nothing but exceptional. This is vital to how overall feel of this gym. I feel that every time we have been here the gym has been cleaned and we are welcomed. It is a small gym but great for all ages and levels of exercise. I have seen people who are bearly starting their fitness journey to people who are exceptionally fit people of all ages. You definitely will not feel overwhelmed or intimidated. We have been overall happy with our experience here. We left Defined and although they claim they are the "best in the city" I would state otherwise especially when it comes to Defined's snobby staff. Yes the equipment is great but they are not the "best gym". I would give that title to both Elite and OG. Thank you for helping us keep up with our fitness goals without all the intimidation.

This gym is awesome. It is well maintained and clean. They have great equipment that is new. Highly recommend

I LOVE THIS GYM great machines and great energy best hack squat i have ever used. Real deal gym and nice cardio equipment. The only 2 problems i have is the chest fly and seated leg curl i wish they could go heavier but that’s a personal preference. Try out this gym it’s 100% worth it

The gym is an alright gym. It runs on swam coolers so it can get fairly muggy and there arent enough fans to circulate the air enough. It's also a little tight in terms of space. The equipment is right on top of each other so even if the gym isn't busy, if someone is working on the equipment next to you, they are only 2-3ft away from your workout space.

The place is way too cramped but worst of all I was actually made really uncomfortable by some of the other members who work out there. I’m just minding my own business and on 3 separate occasions I was actually made fun of by other members! Definitely not a friendly environment! Also they make you sign a contract, the billing is reoccurring and they don’t just cancel your membership if you don’t pay your dues they will actually send it to collections. Not sure if that’s standard for a gym but it caught me by surprise.

Good equipment, 24/7 access, clean, everyone friendly no matter the time. Owner is nice and I've had great customer service. Keep up the great work.

When I joined, I was told they're open 24/7. However, they're not staffed 24/7, and don't list the hours when staff is present so members can go when the doors will be unlocked and open. To have to buy a key to make sure I can get in doesn't seem very reasonable to me.

I first took advantage of their $30 for 30 days intro special when I saw they offered a Yin yoga class by Chris Ortega. Since then they've added a second class and I've become a member. If you are looking for a yoga studio that also includes a mindful and judgement free space, this is it. Yin yoga is a great way to ease yourself into practice if you haven't been practicing for a while or are new to yoga. Hopefully they'll add more of Chris' yin yoga to the schedule or maybe a meditation class led by him.

The classes are good and the prices are fair. However, they need to deep clean the facilities. When you walk in, it smells like man urine. And it gets even worse when walking into the hallway where the lockers are. It's pungent. The men's restroom is disgusting as well, I don't think it's been thoroughly cleaned for awhile and for a place to be sacred, it's doesn't feel safe to walk around bare foot. Not only this but a traditional Bikram Yoga class holds a temperature of 105°, one instructor prides himself in how high he puts the heat at 110° with little to no humidity. I had a severe heat rash all over my body and suffered 1st degree burns on my face. Just be careful ppl.

OH MY GOSH! Great studio! I have rediscovered Nirguna. Hadn't been in a few years just because it wasn't the closest studio to me, but I loved it when I went and I love it possibly more now! They are true to yoga practice and I feel like you don't only get the physical practice of yoga but also the mental engagement and some history and background. I am super interested in more than just the physicality of yoga but also the philosophy of it as a whole. Instructors often use the sanskrit words for poses in class (not only, but throw it in there more than I see at a lot of studios), they help guide you into deeper practice within poses and give you options. I love the studio. I feel like it isn’t all about the modern view of hot yoga and feel a lot of yoga classes I go to these days are just about the workout or getting a wild cardio burn and have lost the meaning of yoga practice. There is definitely a time and place for all of that, but I love that that isn’t the goal at this studio. Instructors are great! 10/10 recommend. -two studio rooms -Yoga teacher training available -As of writing this review 8/2024 they can be found/used with Fixmix •showers …. But only 2; this has never been an issue for me when I want to shower. •I will say the curtain to the women’s room is not my fav. There is a door, but it’s mostly always open. Review edited to be more objective :)

THE BEST experiences I have had at a yoga studio. I have been to yoga studios all over the country for the 20 years that I have been practicing. I recently finished 8 months of treatments for breast cancer. This road trip through Albequerque was my unwind and find my center following the end of my treatments. I started this review with experiences (plural) because there were multiple! Chris Ortega's Yin class was SUPURB. His delivery of instruction was steeped with genuine care. One could hear it in every word he spoke. And while holding a yin pose, his words were an additional healing element the sank deep into my muscles and joints. Scott Taylor's ropes class was an experience that was almost too beautiful for words. It was a smaller group and we all shared and talked.. but not in a small talk sort of way, in a really connecting way. I give credit to Scott for having pure and engaging hands-on care for everyone in that room. His care made us all feel safe and thus open up and truly connect with each other. Finally, and with hope that my humble words can do justice.. Robin Ramsey's Astanga and Mysore classes.. I had thought that I had to go to India for what Robin offers as a yoga teacher. Her knowledge is expert level. Her investment in her students is obvious in the intense focus of the yogis in her classes! And her hands-on adjustments were kind and exactly what I needed for the deep healing that I am embarking on after my bilateral mastectomy (and all that comes with that both physically and emotionally). I had spontaneous gratitude-filled tears for each of these 3 human beings that are gifts to me in my life. I am VERY tempted to relocate to Albuquerque to study yoga at Nirguna.

UPDATED REVIEW!! I changed my initial one star review to a four star after the owner kindly reached out to me after our negative experience. The email was thoughtful and I appreciated the care that was taken to try to make things right for my mom and I. I had to give this business a one star not due to the facilities or the practice but for the way my mom and I were treated by the instructor Emma at the 0800 hot yoga practice. We arrived at 0758 and I apologized for not being early as my mom and I were first timers to this studio. I told her if she could not accommodate due to our lateness that would be okay! She continued to check us in. Due to her choice to check us in class started at 0806. At the beginning of class she told the fellow students how sorry she was that some people didn’t value other people’s time and wasted it by being late. She thanked everyone else for being on time to class. This was obviously directed at my mom and I which made the rest of the practice slightly awkward for my mom who is very shy and polite. I think as a business this rudeness is completely uncalled for. My mom and I were going to sign up for your 5 class package but I refuse to pay for anything more than the one class. My mom did fall in love with Deloris who teaches at 1000. She was so kind to my mom and I hurrying to get us mats and towels and telling my mom about other classes that were more on her level that she could take as this hot yoga was a little hard for her. Exceptional, sweet, kind attitude which is what I’ve become accustomed to in my yoga practice. Hope this helps!

I’ve worked at another local gym and worked out at a good handful of local gyms. Chuze is just a different level. The class offerings are expansive and the amenities are far beyond other gyms in Albuquerque. The price options are highly competitive for the benefits of each level.

EDIT: In response to the owners reply, I spoke with a rep today prior to writing my review and they explained the “infrared sauna” logistics to me. I understand that but it doesn’t change the fact that I prefer (as well as other gym members who showed their dissatisfaction) a sauna that actually feels hot. I don’t care about anything else concerning that. When I’m in a sauna, I expect it to be hot. This gym is okay and comparable to Planet Fitness. It’s crowded no matter what time you go which isn’t a bad thing; just something to be prepared for. The gym is clean and I’m always greeted upon entering. The low rating is due to the sauna. It’s not like your traditional sauna so it doesn’t get hot at all. At most you’ll get a lukewarm experience. I’ve been to all Chuze gyms in this area and the Winrock location actually had one sauna room that was hot like your traditional sauna. They all have different equipment so it’s hard to say which location is the best. I like some equipment options that the others don’t have. Overall Chuze is your average gym with nothing standout about them.

Unfortunately too crowded to get any sort of workout in. I tried at all hours of the day. They should increase equipment or stop accepting new members because they are beyond capacity. I can also echo what others have said about the sauna being not hot at all. The people at the desk are nice though.

The staff is great but the New years resolution crowds have packed this gym at all hours of the day making it difficult to workout with lack of available equipment. Also the parking is constantly overfilled and spilling into Twisters. Either build another Chuze or build a bigger parking lot.

Beautiful gym but I signed up mainly because I had access to the sauna. Their sauna has super bright fluorescent lights inside, super disappointing. I’ve never been to a sauna that’s brightly lit, usually they have dim lights or no lights inside. The chuze off central has a no light sauna and it’s 100% better but it’s farther from me. If the saunas weren’t lit like a Walmart inside I would give 5 stars

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this gym. My membership was abruptly terminated due to an alleged violation of rules, even though I made sure to follow all of the gym's guidelines. To make matters worse, when I inquired about the reason behind the termination, I was met with zero clarity or explanation. On top of that, during my interactions with staff, I was cussed at by one worker and then had a manager raise their voice at me in an unprofessional manner. This type of treatment is completely unacceptable, especially when I was only seeking an explanation about my membership. I’ve never encountered such poor customer service, and the lack of communication and respect is beyond frustrating. I strongly urge management to improve their communication and professionalism—this experience has made me feel completely disregarded as a customer. Needless to say, I will not be returning to this gym and I will be taking my business elsewhere!!

Great small gym with all the right equipment. I really like working out at Powerflex.

This is a great gym with good equipment. It would be nice to have more towels with which to clean equipment. It is gross having to touch the soaked towels and defeats the purpose of having them there when they are saturated. For all the current patrons, if you are not using a machine, move away from it. It's very inconsiderate to lounge on it with friends when others are waiting.

I just listened to my granddaughter expressing frustration because she is subject to $25 a month payments to this gym for two years although she isn't going to it. I read most of these reviews and see many complaints of the same, and the remarks from the ownership in that regard. I also read very positive reviews of the cleanliness, staff, equipment, convenience, etc., many rating 5 stars. So with respect to both I'm pitching 3 stars on behalf of my granddaughter because she won't offer a review. She doesn't want to participate in social influence, I suppose best states her rationale. I'm proud of her. Me on the other hand, I think something needs to be said. I've been in professional business all of my life and am retired now. I can't understand justification of a business that thrives on the unknowing commitment of young people for any reason except opportunism. She said she was told it's in the contract. She said she joined online. Apparently she clicked on the link that everyone online tends to click on in acceptance of all the terms and conditions. Now she did move from home, but not the 25 mile requirement. But she said she incerely found the gym not to be what she expected as the deeper reason she doesnt go. It just wasn't for her. So when trying to cancel, the message she got back is that she has to pay until the end of her term, October 2025, but won't be automatically renewed. $25 a month doesn't sound like a lot but to young lady working and going to school it is. I don't see any wisdom in this business move at all and it really grieves my heart. I would never recommend this business to anyone. Any business with a sense of fairness and integrity would never render payment for unwanted goods or services. If the business really is that good, it would thrive on those that need and use it for that reason. As Moses said, "Let my people go." If indeed you are better than that.

Great little gym! Got everything you need to get the job done. Convenient location. Wide variety of weight and cardio equipment and no LUNK alarm. 😆
