| - The Dowd has great facilities, large locker rooms complete with Steam and Sauna facilities, every fitness class you can think of, basketball courts, a pool...
It's the ideal place to go to stay fit.
The one drawback is that it's not without some sketchy activity. Recently, I was changing after a workout, and I saw these two guys walking around the locker room. I didn't think much of it, but someone who was changing beside me said,
"Hey - what are you two doing?"
"Nothin man, we're waitin for ****"
"I see you casin' the place, I left for a shower you were walkin around, I get back from my shower, you still walkin around"
"No man, we're just waitin for ****"
So the guy who is calling these two sketchy dudes out walks over to the emergency phone, picks it up and calls the front desk.
The two sketchy dudes, are acting all tough and cool about it, but literally proceed to walk out of the locker room, up the stairs and out of the building.
I happened to finish up around that same time, and walked out about a minute after them. I saw them get into their car and drive off - so much for waiting for their "friend"!
As I'm watching them leave, another guy who left at the same time as me and was headed home or to work or something says to me,
"I can't believe it - they were definitely here looking to get into people's lockers"
"Yea, definitely, I'm surprised", I reply
The guy says to me "I actually had my locker broken into here not too long ago, my wallet was stolen..."
The moral of the story is this - either bring a freakin masterlock with you, or don't change at the gym and just enjoy the facilities!
Oh and one more thing - for the money? the Y charges you based on your income, so if you make decent money, you'll spend $100 a month for 2 people. That to me is a bit on the pricey side...
