In Need of a Gym

A reader writes:
Hello! I was wondering if you could start a conversation on Sloopin about gyms in the area, which ones people prefer, amenities, pricing, why, etc? We're trying to figure out which gym is best - specifically one with an indoor pool.

LH, you're in luck...we've done some extensive blogging about gyms in the area, so click here for more information.




More importantly, does anyone have any thoughts for LH?


If you need a pool, then you probably have to focus on Xsport, Bally's or LA Fitness (I think).

Since we're talking gym's people we also thought we would post a recent email from a reader who has an update on the Bally's at River City. As most of us know, River City had a massive flood a couple of months ago which severely damaged the building (including the Bally's):
Since this was news earlier, it's now back .... After what, four months?, the Bally's at River City is open again. Only about half of though (cardio and weight machines) is open for now. The girl at the desk said it would be 6 to 8 weeks before the pool and weight room on the lower level reopens. The steam rooms aren't open yet either ...
(Hat Tip: LH and JJ!)
