Branons Indoor Pool was spun off from Fitness Zone at the beginning of 2013.
You utilize the same entrance as the gym, the administrative desk is on the left at the foot of the stairs. The pool shares the locker rooms with the gym. I never used the locker rooms because I lived two blocks from the pool.
There is an 42x75 Olympic pool and a smaller pool that is almost always utilized by Northwestern Medical Center for rehabilitative purposes. There is a shower area if you need to clean off before getting in the pool.
The Olympic pool has six lanes, one of which is a double-wide and most often used by groups. I used the pool almost every day for three months to do laps, at lunch time. I can recall waiting for a lane opening only once. Many days I was the only one in the Olympic pool.
Pool is kept at a comfortable temperature and very clean. The three month cost is rather expensive, about $275. There are cash discounts often given if you pay attention to them. To think I used to have access to an Olympic pool and gym both at a YMCA for $45 years ago. But for what it is, and what it offers (good low-impact cardio, even in winter), I'd say this is a good place. read more
