A different sort of gym...
It may technically be a gym, but a different sort of all-body workout is the norm here. Check the website for daily specials and events.

Over all, I had a pretty good time!

I visited on Friday, May 28, 2010. I arrived sometime between 3 PM and 4 PM. You shouldn't expect too much when you visit places like this. There weren't a lot of guys there. There couldn't have been more than 5 guys there, including me. Some more guys came in later. I left at about 9 PM. There couldn't have been anymore than 10 guys there when I left. Over all, I had a pretty good time. There were some good looking, nice guys there that I had some fun with. Over all, the place was pretty much clean. They do need to fix the steamroom and suana. They do need to fix some of the sinks, soap dispencers and make sure that there is soap in the soap dispencers. The place is big and there is plenty of room to play. I like the 2 rooms on the 1st level that were playing porn. I liked the "play" room on the 3rd level. There is a dark room on the 4th level that I played in that was okay. I will come back here again!

Potential is there, but it fails!

Spotlessly clean, but--bathrooms are seldom working; steam room and sauna are broken, vending machines broken, water fountain broken. Went there for the 3rd Anniversary party as advertised. Midnight--they bring in a couple of blasé pizzas. Where was the bash in the party room as advertised? Club is huge, could handle about 150 easily--if there were 30,that's about it. Tired cleientele--even one guy took to advertising by Post-its to come to his room! The other club, CBC, always is jumping, but it's just so seedy. Sansom has potential--too bad the owners don't milk it!

Please..Somebody Save this Gem in the Rough!

This multi-level place has such potential to be like the great bath houses of yester year. It's misguided and should be redirected. The decor is impressive with different theme rooms and nooks and cranies to have fun! Not much to see regarding clientele. Some reviewers state all of the hot guys there...Where-oh-Where! I'm fit and attractive and saw very few of those types there. I guess it doesn't matter if you're into pig sex. On several visits it wasn't enough people there in this giant building. Also I was assgined a first floor room and it was freezing cold. Management had the hall lights off, it was dark and difficult to locate my room. The shower/rest rooms were dimly lit, light bulbs removed. Snack machine broken, no coffee available. Some showers were out of order. Management, please don't let the quality of this establishment go down.

Worth exploring

Visited this place a lunchtime.It was not crowded but he guys who were there were hung, hot and ready for action. I certainly had good time and got plenty of what I was looking for.
