Hi! I've been debating starting a membership at Trico but just have some things i'd like to know before I commit and was hoping y'all could answer! I know I could call and ask about some if not all of these but I am a little socially anxious and feel like I have too many and would be annoying and honestly would prefer the opinions of members rather than employees! Sorry there's so many lol thanks in advance if anyone answers 🙂

1. Does the gym and pool share the same locker room/showers? The YMCA was like this and I hated it
2. Are the showers kept pretty clean?
3. Does the pool ever have lane swimming or is it realistic to try to just do laps? I've never been but based on the description of the "beach front" i feel like that wouldn't be an option ?
4. How are the fitness classes?
5. Are there usually lots of kids at the gym? At the Y it felt like you could never go without it being filled with teenagers which isnt inherently bad but they were notoriously loud, annoying and usually just stood around a machine for 20 minutes.
6. Pictures of the gym area look quite squished, is there any open space or areas for stretching/yoga or other non machine workouts? or are you able to use the fitness rooms when there's no classes going on?
7. How much variety is there in equipment? Do they have smith machines or hack squats? Any extra equipment like plyo boxes, bosu ball or parallettes?
8. What's the demographic like? Any gym bro culture or mostly older folk? How are the vibes??

Thanks again!!
