So the ARC is an OSU gym. Can non-OSU peeps use this gym? No idea. Well, there go my "useful"…read moreratings. BUT WAIT, I do have some useful info: 1. This place is best if you're mostly interested in lifting weights. That being said, there are a number of cardio machines (treadmills, elliptical, bikes, etc) that are available. I've never run into a situation where I haven't been able to snag one of these machines, but there is a limited number compared to the RPAC, so be aware. 2. The ARC has recently become my gym of choice due to its parking situation. It's free! That is, if you know the tricks of the trade - give me a message if you're interested in knowing "the way." This makes it much more convenient for me since I can go at any time rather than just when I'm on campus going to the main RPAC gym. Otherwise, you have to have an OSU pass or pay by the hour. Decidedly less than convenient. And thus the fat lady sang.

The training involves learning how to safely tie the correct figure 8 knot and how to safely climb as a team, then you are on your own, so pay attention or might get hurt, or worse! My son climbs like a monkey, but I have to say I made it to the top as well, just not as quickly as he did.

One good thing is that o forgot my wallet but they do take Apple Pay.

The environment and the people that were climbing also had a good vibe; plus good music. Came today and had such a good time challenging myself in all kinds of difficulty levels.

Bonus: they have the electric climbing wall that you can link to using the mobile app. Can't wait to come back :)

They are super knowledgeable and informative. It has two semi separate bouldering areas. Envision a "J" shape gym. One wall has a long overhang. The other side has a staggered wall. All walltopia walls. I thought the setting was spot on level wise. The gym was exceptionally clean. The carpet material they use is exceptional at trapping the chalk dust. The staff were constantly cleaning up. The other climbers are also on point in terms of politeness! I loved their "happy hour" discounted day pass at $12. Their regular rates are on their website. They have a small training area with one treadmill and other equipment. Their training wall is manual which is so cute! A few areas of improvement. There's no changing or shower area. In the spirit of inclusion, there's one side of the gym with urinals and on side without. The sinks are on the outside of the bathrooms. I think this is fine but folks should know there's no area to shower, wash feet or change except to go into the bathroom stalls. The two brushes that they have are really old and pivoted. Meaning, they are so worn down one side is even missing the brushes. They are also too large to fit into some of the higher holds. In terms of setting, it was solid with great variety - mantles, overhangs, crimps, arretes, traverses, dynamic movements, but I wish that there was a little more creativity. I'm not the strongest climber but I wished their were climbs where I was like "wow" I've never seen that before! Apparently the 5 life setters set a section here every week and they rotate between the gyms so it probably will be the same at the other gyms. It sounds correct as I've visited the other gyms as well. Pro tip. This gym is within walking distance of the Audubon outdoor climbing wall. But they are not associated with each other.

Seems she always wanted to go but never had anyone to take her. Who says "Three's a crowd"? Fiddlesticks. We had a blast! Old people in their 60's/70's can still climb rocks and rappel down a cliff. Remember, it was a first for these old ladies and they did marvelous. Kayce and Jason were the best. A challenging day for those two guides but it really mattered and we all thrived! They were pretty cool to just chill and exchange stories with. If I were fifty years younger, I would love doing their job. They obviously did. Part of the adventure was also learning about different aspects of nature, courtesy of Jason, a very knowledgeable guide. I know a lot but now I know more. 04/25

Just a piece of advice bring your own water, there is a drinking fountain but it's hidden. It did have a vending machine with water but it was pricey. There are benches to sit on. Don't sit on the massage chairs unless you are going to pay for massage. They have a nasty habit of beeping if you sit too long without getting a massage! The music they played was dreadful and they played Poker Face repeatedly we heard it 6 times in one hour! It was a little pricey for older kids. I give it a 5 because the kids had so much fun!

This was my second time and I wanted to do more than I did the previous time here. I had the privilege of taking a dance class with the soulful and intuitive instructor named Jenny. It was a high energy dance coreo set where she made sure all were included and shined with gusto during the end of class performance. She created a special 'ring of accountability' before and after the class was taught. A true safe space to your bold authentic yourself. This kind of teaching extends beyond one's 'self-care' and exists on a frequency of 'community-care' and supports the 'group mind' of a creative set of artists or people wanting to draw more outside the box. The steam room and sauna were clean and detoxes one perfectly and so does the amazing hot tub and plunge pool duo and while taken all in rotation it was downright Japanese in their easy flowing easy to access layout. For every uptempo aminity there are downtempo ones too. A special shoutout to soulful Elizabeth Brown who taught a mid-day Root Yoga course filled with the best energy and well paced kindness. This is my kind of class, it's solid and restorative in its pacing and keeps the yogi listening without the pressures of comparison. Elizabeth meets you where you are no matter the level of practice and look forward to booking her class again when I am in town next. Thank you Lifetime Fitness, I am a fan of what you do and all the work that goes into making this massive 'cruise ship' of a gymnasium sail flawlessly! Nameste! Keep up the good work! Ahoy!
