| - L-O-V-E!! This place isn't even 100% complete yet but i'm already in love! I ventured over during my lunch break on their 3rd day open. How convenient, only a 5 minute walk across the street. I seriously have no excuses now!! Walking in there's the lobby with plenty of chairs & tables, what's soon to be the Cafe to the left, and the community room to the right. Straight ahead there's the reception desk and the scanner is just to the left in a small cubby hole in the wall. Used to waiting for people to move to scan my card at the desk, I was very happy to see the scanner was in an isolated location.
The ladies locker room is beautiful. My favorite part is that they now have Changing Rooms so you don't have to go into a stall to change anymore if you need a little privacy. I can also now squeeze my smaller lock onto the lockers to keep my things safe. The only thing that I miss about the old locations locker room is that there are no fans at Saras. Though it's pretty cool in this locker room, optional fans post workout would be awesome.
I took a little stroll around the facilities post workout and I was very impressed. It made me excited to return & wish I had time after work to come by before my long trek home to Salisbury. I wish our YMCA was this nice! All of the equipment is top of the line. My favorite part is that you can Create An Account and log in from most cardio equipment each time you workout. It saves all of your stats, lets you watch TV, listen to music, connect your ipod, log into social networks and take virtual runs/walks. It's pretty awesome! I played with it the entire time I worked out. Once you register you will also receive an email with information on how to sign in from the web or mobile app and complete challenges. On the treadmill there are triggers on the handles that allow you to increase/decrease your speed &/or incline. Throughout the facility theirs all sorts of equipment you can grab to assist in your workout. There is even an on-site physical therapist! On nice days you can even enjoy an outside workout from the roof or ground level.
Overall this is a solid YMCA. The best i've seen yet. I've heard some people say they wish it had a pool. But for this to be a corporate YMCA, I think a pool would be too much. Just stick to the basics to serve the needs of the corporate community and do those well, which I think this location has accomplished. I can't wait to give the cafe a try when it opens! I've uploaded tons of photos, enjoy!
