A majority of the pads are torn, many missing covers with foam completely exposed. Many free weights are missing rubber covers so they're exposed metal with no weight labels. Carpet is torn and worn down to the concrete. Bathroom floor tiles have been missing for months. Bottom of shower curtains are pink with mold. Many cable machines not maintained with notes attached to use carefully to avoid injury if they break during use. Trash laying around that never gets picked up. I could go on and on. Something needs to change before someone gets very sick.

I recently discovered the beautiful space upstairs that holds a yoga studio and restaurant called…read moreRooted. I plan to go to a class soon. While reading previous reviews, I found one where the author found fault with the business because the owner wasn't especially excited about giving out yet another freebie to a solicitor. Having owned and operated a business for 18 years, I can tell you the amount of people who just walked into my small business asking for free stuff to auction or give away was overwhelming. None of them understood how difficult it is to make ends meet, they just assumed it was easy. Most had no prior appointment, they just showed up and lots of times I was too busy but had to put down my work to attend to them. I was always generous. But for my business to survive, I needed to protect it. It's like you start off with a fluff of cotton but little by little tufts get pulled off until after so many years go by, there is a dwindled down fluff- don't be mindful and soon nothing will be left. Now, in my opinion, being a yogini and being a business woman is not at odds with each other. In fact, having a business that is providing such a useful service to the community calls for even more protective measures. It is part of being able to continue to bring spiritual guidance and physical health to Boone. That is a big responsibility! If the owner didn't handle the request skillfully, perhaps she was tired and overwhelmed. Teachers are human too. They can have bad days and maybe on that day the solicitor was the one straw too many. That the previous reviewer states they'll never go back because they were dismissed and chose to do harm by leaving a bad review tells me they weren't there for the yoga. They were there to feel good about themselves being a do- gooder. Maybe check up on yourself.

And then just a 15min walk (or 2 minute car ride) from downtown, Bass Lake is right there for your hiking pleasure. The lake itself is serene with great views from the circumferential hiking path around it. But it doesn't end there. Miles and miles of trails break off from the main lake for a longer outdoor experience. Plenty of parking with clean bathrooms at the main parking area. This is perfect for a shorter stroll around the lake, or a day's adventure across the many trails leading from here.

Great park to go for a walk. I bet they have hiking trails also but I have never been on those. We…read morejust stick to the path around the lake which is an easy walk and gorgeous everywhere you look.
