Admittedly, I have been to this location before. That was before the marathon though (before the "better" me?...let's not stretch it). I went this past weekend and had a pretty decent workout.
This location is very large and located on two spread-out levels. The first level has the studio, free weights, most of the machines, treadmills, a few ellipticals, and locker rooms. The free weight areas are typically very busy with guys on the 'roids (excuse me- "pre-game vitamins" is more appropriate) and can get a little cramped if it's during peak hours, even with the large amount of space available. For heaven's sake, NYSC, get this place another cable-fly system!
Upstairs has newer machines and the Xpress-line program, two stretching areas, cycling, and plenty of bikes/ellipticals. Both levels have lots-o-sunlight which is quite delightful.
Locker rooms are OK; they are never completely out of control but not spotless. One huge downfall of the locker rooms is the apparent lack of benches. Sometimes you just need to sit when putting on your shoes after you sweat out a bottle of wine on the treadmill. Speaking of treadmills, there are NOT ENOUGH of them here.
And gays. Not enough gays.
My grade: A
