Notes

• What Makes It Special: Longest-running local chain (37+ years), bilingual staff for Spanish speakers (ideal in NM’s high Hispanic population), inclusive for beginners/newcomers overcoming ‘gymtimidation’. Emphasis on recovery amenities like saunas/steam/hot tubs alongside elite equipment sets it apart from basic gyms. Strong community (reviews praise cleanliness, staff, variety), mobile app integration, and all-club access promote consistency. Perfect for full-body wellness, from PPL splits to Zumba/Pilates, with proven results via trainers/classes.
