OMG.OMG.OMG. I don't even like to work out but this gym is so inviting you're practically tricked into it.
At first I thought I didn't like the big open concept because there wasn't really any privacy but I don't find it bothersome at all. It seems like there is way more people using this gym on a consistent basis than before at the old gym. There are definitely gym rats who are motivated by the attention the open concept provides.
I get my mind ready for my workout by walking a couple of laps on the indoor track. Once I've changed my mind then I head over to the cardio room where I alternate between various cardio equipment. The versaclimber is my favorite. A good chunk of the machines have TVs on them and you don't even notice how much energy you're expending.
There is also a studio next to the cardio room where they offer various exercise classes for FREE! Yes that's right. I was paying $3 per class at Eglin. On the other side of the cardio room there is a spin room. You'll never see me in there so I'll refrain from commenting besides saying they have a lot of bikes in there.
Downstairs is where the indoor pool is, the locker rooms, massage office, basketball court, open weight room (which is huge!) and racquetball room. I haven't used the weight room yet but am going today. They do equipment orientation at 9a and 1p on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Oh, I failed to mention the workout area for parents. There is a room with various equipment while your children are in a safe play area within your view. Also the cafe/juice bar. Looks like the prices are reasonable. I'll have to pick something up to attest to the quality.
