Chuze Fitness

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
