While the gym is bright, clean and moderately convenient, the business practices are not. I became a member in 2009 canceling two months later (well within my right). The owner refunded an unauthorized charge but then proceeded to charge both my main card AND my back up card each month since. I've managed to get some money back from my bank but in trying to get the remainder and prevent further charges, the owner never returns phone calls and when he does, he leaves messages that "it will be taken care of" but it never happens.
It's really too bad that the business is being run so badly. The concept is good.

When I walked into Proficiency I was 80+ pounds overweight, was afraid of gyms, and had never enjoyed a workout in my life. The owner, Risky (turns out that's his real name!), welcomed me and made me feel comfortable. Then the trainer, Herve, taught me everything I needed to know to get my act together -- in a relaxed, peaceful, no-pressure atmosphere. The gym is exceptionally clean, quiet and mellow. Parking is free. This is such a small gym there aren't even any membership cards -- they just know you.

And the best part? I've lost 60 pounds and I'm not through yet.
