I don't have a gym membership. No gym I've been to has given me a reason to purchase a subscription…read morecompared to what my apartment gym offers. While visiting Amarillo, the hotel gym I had access to was not cutting it for me and my routine. In my two long stays in Amarillo, I would constantly pass by the Contagion Athletics building and consider giving it a go. Last week, through all the dust, fire, and terrible dryness that Amarillo offered me, I bit the bullet and grabbed a $20 day pass just to try it. Immediately, I knew I'd buy a membership if I lived in Amarillo. You walk inside the spacious gym to find a large turf field, plenty of strength equipment all spaced from each other where it doesn't feel like you're ass to ass with your neighbors. There is so much strength and weight equipment to use from the rigs, the plate-loaded equipment, the free weights, competition-style weight set-ups, deadlifts, and more. Plenty of cardio equipment is on hand too, including 9 StairMasters and tons of high quality treadmills. They have a small looping cushioned track that I ran 3 miles on, which felt fantastic on the feet and joints. On top of that, they supposedly offer massages, saunas, personal trainers, a cafe, a barbershop, and car detailing. To a point, you don't need to go anywhere else. I got a great workout in here and the energy is great. There are tons of windows that face Business 40 and the rest of Amarillo so you get a ton of natural light. The temperature is comfortable in there which is great because some gyms are way too hot for no reason. Lastly, the space is just beautiful. CA is open 24/7 so you can always get a workout in. Anytime I'm in Amarillo, I'll be sure to give them a visit because they are worth the price of admission. This makes any gym feel like they're playing in the minor leagues in comparison. CA is in a league of its own. RIYL: The Mecca of Gyms

As someone that is only in town for a few days, I was honestly surprised by the $25 day pass. It's…read moredefinitely a nice gym and has everything you need for a solid workout, but that price feels a little steep, especially if you're just passing through town and only need a quick session. If that's your situation, you might be better off checking out another gym or using your hotel gym if it has one. As always, if you want to give this place a try, go for it. Just know you'll be paying $25 for the day, and there aren't any discounts for veterans or first responders, there are many other places that do offer discounts if that's your background. One more thing, the saunas should really be on and heated up. After a workout, it's a bit of a letdown to head over for a quick sauna session and realize they're not even running yet. Yes, one can turn them on before you workout so they are ready but then you might be met with someone else already using it.

The gym is on the fourth floor of the Maxor Building so don't expect to see it off the street. Once inside, the staff is kind and explains the layout well. It's older but the amenities are still great. Kids care? Check! Spa room? Check! Great bathroom amenities? Check! Group fitness and free weight? Check! The best part was that I only had to pay the visitor fee for gym usage and no one tried selling me a membership. WINNING! Way to go, DAC!

This is a bit on the smaller side, but had everything that we needed to get our workout in. I would say that they have the least amount of Benches for weight that I've seen in most places and a little bit of a rework with some of all of the extra room around the PF 360 machine could really help optimize the space. The back corner for stretch stretching, and abs is nice, but there's not a ton of space to roll out a mat And Work. Didn't need that today so I wasn't a problem, but if this were a Jim I had to regularly frequent that would be a challenge. I only saw one equipment piece that was not in working order, otherwise everything seemed to be working in this facility. The front desk staff were friendly and the bathrooms were clean. No photos as we arrived around noon time on a Thursday and it was really quite busy. I would say most of the clientele were either retired individuals or highschoolers working out in pairs.
