| - I tried Mansfield yesterday after getting a 5 day guest pass. The service is great, the gym is HUGE. For me it's a a bit too inconvenient to work out there regularly since I don't live or work downtown, however for those who do it's a really good option. There's lots of machines for both cardio and weight training. I don't particularly like the fact that it's a 6 level gym.....primarily since it's a converted theater so you have the different layers of the balcony sections and the main level and the stage. Access to the different levels and areas is also a bit restricted and and you really have to know where to go. There's a studio on the 3rd floor that is accessible only by a small elevator which is a bit odd. The studio has only 1 punching bag....1, which seems ridiculous for a facility the size of Mansfield. Locker rooms are quite large as well, lots of towels, a sitting area with TV to relax , steam room, sauna, coat room, etc. Pricing seems very reasonable for a nice gym smack in the middle of downtown, it's not cheap but I thought it would be more. The size of the facility is a bit overwhelming and it wasn't very busy for such a huge space, but overall a good downtown workout option and there's a restaurant on site that closes really early (also very odd).
