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.

It's a mix of bags, ring, and then mix of burpees high knees and etc. The actual gym is somewhat small. There is no calf equipment, and just the basics are there. The gym gets super hot from the body heat from the classes, so it's guaranteed that you'll get a good sweat on if you go to workout there. The daycare situation is okay, I think the hours are longer than most. However the daycare is just some tables chairs and a TV I have and seen people donating stuff to the daycare to give the children something to do or play with, but they keep the toys locked up. They do have their own brand of merchandise, so tons of clothes and hats. They also do have pre workout, and fat burners.

The instructors are overwhelmingly supportive, kind and motivating, even when I think I'm going to die. The boxing makes me feel like a bad ass... and I've gained so much confidence and strength there. The class times are flexible and convenient for everyone.

She said there was a very long wait list and we probably wouldn't get in because she had so many people on the wait list that she could have one or two more classes and still not fit all the people in them... and she stated emphatically that she would NOT be opening any more classes. She did not show me around the gym and neglected any introductions. I was very unimpressed and what I saw of the gym looked sketchy. Definitely will not pursue this option for my son, and wish there was another toddler gymnastics center in the Amarillo area, with more professionalism and ideally a better facility.

Sometimes you'll find a homeschool family in the mix. They don't advertise which I think is good so it won't be over crowded. Typically there is a coach or someone familiar with the facility and enjoys bonding with kids. It's $5 for two hours for kids over 18 months. Pros - plenty of parking - Huge facility (4 trampolines, bouncy house, two running trampolines - one with a foam pit and one with a pad. Of course there is a wall of mirrors) - Bathrooms in the facility
