Renaissance Athletic Club: Opinions

4.2/5 (27 Opinions)

Fantastic experience: I love the RAC! The people, the facility, the equipment! It's a great place to stretch your wings. At first, I was apprehensive about going there because it's been years since I've worked out in public. The staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable to begin my workout. I highly recommend the RAC.

Negative experience: Leaving this review from a different account because I am a regular and was to remain anonymous. The actual workout room awesome, love it. Now what I can’t wrap my head around especially for the price is the cleanliness of the lockerooms. Now the other half has told me the womens is bad as well but I will speak on what I’ve seen in the mens. Mold on the floor in the cracks, mold in the corners, mold in and behind the soap dispenser, slimy stains that show it is basically never washed. The fancy equipment means nothing if i have to walk into what feels like a prison shower where I might contract something stepping into it. The steam room needs to be maintained as well. No mold but could be better maintained. Hire more janitorial staff and quit being cheap. Would rather not be able to shower after the workout for a couple-few weeks due to the showers being gutted rather than keep putting up with this. Me and a handful of others are on the verge of cancelling memberships and making this a bigger issue than it has to be. Yes it is a public shower, but it is also now a health hazard. Fix this.

Renaissance Athletic Club

Thank you for your feedback; we truly value it. We’re glad you enjoyed the workout room, but we apologize for your concerns about the cleanliness of the locker rooms and steam room. We take this seriously and will implement additional cleaning measures immediately. A club-wide renovation is also planned for 2025 to enhance these areas. In the meantime, please share any concerns with our front desk or General Manager, Laura McCoy. Your health and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we appreciate your help in improving our services.

Fantastic experience: I love this place but can you guys get the steam room back open please? It’s been 4 days and many of us have a routine.

Renaissance Athletic Club

We understand the need for a routine. We repaired some of the tile in the steam room and the grout needs time to dry. It will be back open on Monday 9/16/24.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Renaissance Athletic Center since May of 2021 (I am writing this in December 2022). If you are in the Benton Harbor, St. Joseph, or Stevensville area, I highly recommend making this place your "workshop". Ever since I started going, I have been treated with kindness and respect by the entire staff. They are hardworking experts in their given fields, and it has been a joy getting to see each and every one of them on a daily basis. The facility itself is top-notch, including every piece of equipment and amenity that anyone pursuing a healthy and happy lifestyle could ever ask for (even a cold tub!!!). The classes and the instructors that guide you through them are a blast (both in terms of fun and calorie-burn!). I am grateful to have such a high quality facility in my hometown!

Fantastic experience: Full cardio, free weight and machine areas with brand new equipment and plenty of space to do floor exercises. Cost is $15 for a day pass.

Katie Tottelo 3 years ago

Positive experience: Gym catered to the retirement community of St Joseph. There is not a single class offered that a person who works a 9-5 could possibly attend.

Jennifer L 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Gorgeous facility nestled next to Harbor Shores Golf Course. Plenty free weights, weight machines, stationary machines, classes, pool, sauna and steam room

Fantastic experience: Great gym and environment. People are just in there doing their own thing. Motivational sayings are everywhere you look. They have a pool, hot tub and steam room with multiple showers. I love that is gem is black owned!

Fantastic experience: Cassie was wonderful! I'm signing up tomorrow. The place is really nice, especially the swimming pool!

Jessica Kormanik 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you like to swim laps or take classes, this is the place to go! I’ve tried other gyms in the area and when I lived out of town, and I’ve never found a better lap swimming pool than this place. Also what’s great is they never book the lanes, which is often a problem for open swim at other gyms. They have a nice cycling studio and those classes are great (never tried other classes but I have heard they are good). Their membership prices are more reasonable now than they were a couple of years ago.

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym in St Joe, i tried many places before signing up as a member. I moved from Philly in March 2018 and was an existing LA Fitness Member for the past 4 years. I hated that there is no LA Fitness around. So , i tried many fitness places and ended up in Renaissance. A colleague of mine recommended me to pay a visit. I was flabbergasted on my first visit. The area is neat and clean. Very well organized racks for Dumbbells. Nice training rooms for stretching and locker rooms are very well maintained with clean toilets. I am completely satisfied with the maintenance. Staff is very nice and polite. They greet you very well. Thread mill, elliptical and Stair master are top notch. Equipment is very new and well maintained. I enjoy every day visiting this place after work for an hour and half workout. Smoothie bar is a big asset. I don't have any complaints so far, besides they are little pricey on the membership side. Keep up the good work .

Fantastic experience: I believe the RAC has BEST equipment and trainers around! Keeps members updated on various activities & ALWAYS greets us by name! A member now 4 years and I couldn't have chosen a better gym in SW Michigan to join.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Its clean, the staff is always available, there is enough equipment that you rarely have to wait. The day care is awesome, the staff puts the weights away when moms don't come to pick up after the twenty somethings. My whole family works out here. And you can end your workout with a steam or a saun .

CJ Choppa 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this place it is absolutly essential to my well being. The equipment is top notch. The pool always feels perfect and is usually empty when i go and the scenery is awesome as well doing cardio you face the golf course which is fabulous all on its own but you have course options as your walking or biking to take a scenic trip thru paris or the grand canyon for example. And the physical therapy team is A+ i have a rare disorder and my pt looked it up to learn how to best help me and he basicly saved my life!

Negative experience: I’ve been a member of this gym since it opened 6 years ago and it has been on a downward decline from day one. They promised a basketball court that never happened, hours have been cut been significantly, they’ve begun charging for things that used to be included, you have to ask for a towel at the front desk when they used to be available in the locker room and they never have clean workout towels. The majority of the cardio and spin bikes have electrical and/or mechanical issues. The staff is rude and has no concept of customer service. They have gone through multiple GMs and seemed to be solely focused on cost cutting instead of providing a good workout experience for their paying members. Planet Fitness, 24 hour fitness, Southshore and even the Y all have just as good if not better equipment and their staff is actually helpful - save your money and frustration and go to one of those!

Negative experience: Nobody is happy with the hours, it needs to be open later. So many nights I can't go after work because I just won't have time. I joined for the hot tub and lap pool, but I just don't have time to use them and lift when I have to be out of the building by 9. Also they removed the towels from the locker rooms. Why?

Donald Pump 6 years ago

Negative experience: Trust Fund Owner. Terrible GM and Assistant GM. Horrendous hours. Lack of equipment. Extraordinarily high price. Arrogant clientele. Do yourself a favor and go to the Y or Anytime. Both a few miles away.

Fantastic experience: 30 minutes in the sauna is good this place needs bigger dumbbells and stay open later

Kirsten Kortebein 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The RAC is the best. It's clean, the equipment is top-notch and the classes/instructors are wonderful. (Especially Stace's spinning classes!) The value of the classes and instructors alone more than pays for the membership. Ben at the front desk was incredibly helpful in setting up a temporary membership for myself and my partner, and I'll absolutely be coming back the next time that I'm back in SJ. I completely, 100% recommend the RAC if you're looking for an energy outlet, especially during the winter months.

Jay Keeler 6 years ago

Negative experience: Incredibly poor customer service, in spite of being one of the most expensive clubs in the area. Repeated membership problems, unauthorized charges, repeated unanswered calls. Terminated membership after these issues and extremely short hours of operation, still charged. Do yourself a favor and join the YMCA or Planet Fitness. You won't get the carpeted locker room, but you'll avoid the headaches, repeated phone calls, unauthorized charges, and simply rude and unresponsive behavior from a terrible administrative staff.
