i.e., A local favorite, or highly recommended becauseIve been going to Dukes about a year now. Ive had some weight problems due to a hormonal imbalance. Im somewhat self-conscious about this as one can imagine. However, at Dukes there isnt this feeling of shallowness that sometimes comes with bigger gyms. The owner actually is really a nice guy, he knows everyone that comes in by name. Ive been getting personal training from him for about six months now. The rates are good and I am down about 35 pounds. I take the classes, the instructors always seem to remember you and are very helpful and willing to talk to you about any issues you may have. Probably the best gym Ive ever been to.
