This place will be your best kept secret, if you let it! This gym is fabulous in more ways than i can possibly realize.
I mostly appreciate the non-sales rep style of the place, along with the hassle-free sign up; Did i mention there is no personal trainer in sight? The only thing getting in the way of your workout is you, if you let it.
About the gym: the cheapest prices in town-i pay $70/ 3 mo. I think the annual membership costs about $199. Day passes are available, as well. All very cheap, cheap, cheap! Hours are Mon.-Fri. 7a-7:45p and Sat.-Sun. 9/10a-1:45p.
There is a weight room, cardio room, indoor track, basketball court (that you can use off season) an olympic sized swimming pool, along with a warm up pool ( in excellent condition-area schools hold their competitions here).
In addition, there are plenty of lockers, but you can't leave your stuff overnight. Plenty of showers, toilets, and sinks! I am very partial to the swimsuit drying machine-*free*
The equipment is in good condition, and if it isn't, a simple report to the front desk will send out a work order.
If i could change anything, the weight room would have the machine that works your inner thighs-the only machine that seems to be missing from its collection. Also, the hours should be longer-for all gyms! According to Erie County statistics, high blood pressure is the # 1 health problem in Buffalo! Therefore, what are some primary prevention strategies?
I love the fact that this gym is lassez-faire! You will find no 4 star treatment here-just the way it should be! I'm of the opinion that the 4 star treatment you are giving yourself is from old fashioned, 100% pure hard work!
So, this gym may be detestable to those that find it unfeasible to not have certain amenities we hear so often about: towel service, juice bars, and aerobics classes-not to mention, steam rooms and child care.
For those things, the JCC center located in Amherst will be the perfect solution! Just don't forget, "hassle" is devoid of meaning, until your eyes and ears are closed!
For a peaceful workout, with good membership rates,and enough variety, especially during the winter months, ECC Burt Flickinger is the place! read more
