| - Really cool obstacle/gym place that I recommend everyone try out at least once, as it's a really fun way to work out. I consider myself moderately fit, and after spending about two hours here (went through the course a good number of times), I woke up the next day to find my entire body aching and sore, and hurting in some places where I've never hurt before.
Things I like about this place:
- It's affordable - I did a drop-in session with a friend and it was just $20 for an all-day pass!
- They are secure - They have lockers you can use for free. Bring your own lock, and don't worry if you forget, because you can borrow one for free (just have to leave a piece of ID at the front desk)
- You can go at your own pace - Basically on your first visit, they will make you sign a waiver and then walk around and give you a tour of the place... but after that you're free to do whatever you like. Although there were a fair number of other people there when I went, there were rarely situations where there was like a lineup or backlog of people, and I never felt pressured to rush through the obstacle course. You don't need to sprint or run to get a good workout, just all the climbing and swinging across monkeybars and stuff (even at a leisurely pace) will be enough to work up a sweat.
But what if I can't do a lot of the obstacles?
I was concerned about that too, and honestly, there were walls that I couldn't scale and bars that I couldn't completely swing across. But that's fine! There is an "out" for every obstacle, so you'll never be completely stuck and unable to progress, and obviously not everyone there is super fit, so there's no need to ever feel self-conscious. With that being said, I definitely recommend that you challenge yourself and strive to complete the obstacles that are giving you difficulty. The feeling of completion is sooo so rewarding :D
Things I would change about this place:
- Change up the obstacles - Obviously I've only been here once, so I don't know if they actually do this or not, but judging by some pictures it looks like they don't. Which is obviously understandable. But in the end it makes for a place that I would probably just come to once or twice with my friends just for fun, rather than like a regular workout place. I'll even admit that the first one or two passes through the course were the most fun, and then after everything was familiar it just wasn't quite as interesting.
- The ventilation wasn't the best, and if it's a busier day with more people, it can get real stuffy and hot real quick.
Definitely a lot of fun though for people of all fitness levels, and I will probably end up coming back just for fun. Really hoping that they change things up or add some new things in the future!
They also have instructor-led classes here if that is your thing, so if you live around the area and are looking for a place to try for your regular workout, this might be for you!
