GreatLife at Avera McKennan Fitness Center

I like the amenities this location has to offer, but not a fan of the full nudity that’s allowed to take place in the hot tub/steam room/sauna. The locker room is shared with children and I don’t think they need to be exposed to full nudity of random adults, and I myself find it hard to enjoy a steam or hot tub when there are people fully naked exposing themselves right next to or across from me. It just feels unsanitary and is uncomfortable to be around. Changing/showering is one thing, but I feel intentionally entering common areas sitting with other people should have a rule against full nudity, and I do know that the majority of members would agree.

Great Life, can you please fix the air conditioning? It’s been weeks! The temperature in the facility makes me not want to work out here. And the lack of attention to detail is making me want to go elsewhere besides the Great Life ecosystem.

Need more room in the weight space. I love that there’s a sauna, but it’s not as hot as the other locations saunas about 15-20 degrees colder which makes me want to drive further to get a different sauna. There’s also a woman that goes in there and will go in and out ten times in ten minutes which affects the temperature, she gets completely naked no towel nothing , and hangs her wet clothes over the sauna machine to “dry” I guess and it’s pretty gross and uncomfortable. I’m a very open person but I feel more comfortable going in a coed sauna at this point than going to this location. People act like it’s there personal sauna at home without thinking of others.
