Curious as well.
Do they stock racks? how are the free weights?
I remember someone on here talked about using them before... or maybe it was jetts.

Power racks = yes
Up to 50kg dumbbells
You can grunt while deadlifting but no shitting yourself when squatting
No chalk
No dropping weights

Here's another thought.
How the fuck are you suppose to get other peoples opinions.
It's a fucking forum where people share experiences and ideas.
Can't do that by calling them CAN YOU?
jchen here's another example for you.
Say I walk into a Ford dealership and ask what their new FPV vehicle is like. The salesman will then talk out of his arse saying it's a great car, with this and that and whatever.
But say I ask someone on a forum who has driven/owns that new FPV vehicle what he thinks of it. His answer will then be from a different perspective because he is driving it every day and will be able to tell you more of the pros and cons of the car and wont have any need to talk out of his arse to sell you the car.
Same goes for gym, it's about information you get from word of mouth. The more people you ask about something the more information you have and the easier it will be to make up your mind about whether you should join or not.

Here's something else to think about.
When you sign up you get a key that gives you access to any anytime gym.
I go 2 two different ones. One has a squat rack, a cage and dumbells up to 65kg, you can grunt all you want and lots of guys use chalk. The other one has a squat rack (albeit not a great one) no cage but dumbells up to about 60kg and no ones cares if you grunt or use chalk.
I think they are all different and you should prob go check out the one that you are looking joining but of course they are always going to tell you how great they are and not tell you the bad points.

The one near my house opens in 2 weeks, I went and had a chat to him and they will be having 2 x 8ft Hammer Strength power racks, 3 x Oly bars with plenty of weight plates, DB's up to 50kg and a heavy duty Leg press.
Also will be having a Plate Loaded chest press/lat pull down (hammer strength) and plenty of pin loaded machines and 1 x dual adjustable pulley and another cable crossover multi jungle also by hammer strenghth.
I can do most of my work out in the Power Rack and with the DB's and all the assistance stuff on the machines.
So being 24/7 and cheaper then my current gym i think i will be giving it a go. It works out to be 13 bucks cheaper a month then my current gym, and with shift work having the option of going to the gym anytime is a real bonus.
The only downside no more tyre flipping and kettlebell swings (can use a DB so not too worried)
