| - HFFA is a year round gym and aquatics center.
Pros:
-No shortage of lanes for swimming. When the pool is arranged for 25 yds, there are 6 member lanes available. When the pool is 50m, there are a minimum of 3 lanes available.
-New equipment. As of January 2014 all of the weight machines have been replaced by top of the line machines. HFFA also expanded the cardio area to include countless ellipticals, treadmills, and stationary bikes.
-Open at 5am weekdays, open relatively long hours on weekends.
Cons:
-The new equipment comes at a cost. HFFA got rid of almost all the free weights. That means no benching, squats, preacher curls, roman chair, or Captain chair. This is a dealkiller to some, and I go to HFFA for the gym portion far less often now.
-Old building. It was just renovated in Jan 2014, but it does not feel any newer.
-Pool is inconsistent in temperature. the circulation of the pool seems strange, as one corner is noticably warmer than the rest of the pool, and the water temperature is a bit cold compared to pools I frequented in the past.
