    This place is awesome! Let's start with the times this place opens up 0500 perfect for an early…read moreriser like me!!! The "weight room" is literally the hugest I have ever seen! FT Knox is showing out with this gym!!! I mean nothing but the best for soldiers and I love love it! This gym has a cardio area upstairs with anything you can think of. It also has an indoor walking /running track. It's really great equipment. It almost looks brand new. I haven't been to any other gyms here on the installation but honestly after seeing this place I don't need anything else. The only down fall is that they are not open on the weekends. But I usually do cardio on those days and there is plenty here in the hotel for that so no biggie. There is also a huge basketball court as you enter the gym. It's well maintained! Finally there is a SAuna!!!!! I say again there is a sauna!!!! Wayyyyy to go MWR !! Like I said this gym is showing out " that is slang for being awesome" by the way. Hours are Monday through Friday 0500-2100hrs great if you are an early riser like me! I am really happy with it:-) this place gets five stars from this three time elite!

    It's a good gym but a little small for the amount of people that go in. I usually go in around 5 in…read morethe afternoon when it gets pretty packed. They could use more squat racks in the lifting room and get rid of the non motorized treadmills I've never seen one person use them. The staff there is pretty relax and nice. It can get pretty hot in there but I guess that's Kentucky for you. Other than that I've had fun at this gym.

    Large park, lots of things to do, kept my son busy for over an hour…read more Clean facilities and clean park.

    This park is amazing. It is a gem located in Bloomington. It is a Rails to Trails pedestrian…read morethoroughfare and was once an old rail switchyard. It spans 65 acres and was opened in 2019. By the looks of it, I though that it was opened more recently. This park has everything you want in a park and much more. This is a modern park and I was really felling it. There are two decent sized parking lots for you to park your vehicle. What amenity that brought you to the park will determine the lot that you will use. The park features a dog park with separate areas for large and small dogs. There is seating for pooch owners to sit in each area, as well as lots of green space and a few obstacles for the pups to play. There are a few picnic tables in between the two dog areas. The park also has a ton bright green picnic tables in a plaza area just off of one of the parking lots and a very nice shelter with picnic tables under it, a fireplace and a grill. This area is also where you will find the restroom facility in this area. There is also a low-key splash pad in this area, but it was shut down for the season during my November visit. This park is also home to an awesome outdoor amphitheater with lawn seating. It looks pretty impressive. There is also an 11,000 square foot pavilion with overhead doors, making it an indoor/outdoor event space. Both spots are available for rent and are prime spots to host your next event. They are used to host special events such as 5K runs, farmer's markets, and You will also find a skate park that could easily be a stand alone park itself. It is a concrete park with bowls, rails, and a snake run. Graffiti, tags and stickers are prohibited in the skate park area, but you will find some nice tags just outside of it. The park's playground is first class. It is a huge area on a mud-free rubber/artificial grass surface. There are benches, walls and glider swings for caregivers to sit while their littles play. The area's equipment includes saucer swings, tunnels, a rock climbing wall, slides, some traditional swings, wall net climbers, a pyramid net climber, and xylophones. The equipment is very modern and looks relatively new. On the other end of the park is where you will find a very nice full basketball court, a bocce ball court, and 4 pickle ball courts. There is a large patch of green space on this side of the park as well that is suitable for picnic, playing catch, or tossing a frisbee. A Bloomington police also has a station at this entrance to the park. Even though their is a police presence on site, the park contracts with a security company to assist with park patrols and safety. The highlight of this side of the park though is the outdoor fitness area. It is a circular area that has equipment that includes a chest press machine, a shoulder press machine, a strider, a dip machine, sit up bench and pull-up bar. In the shadow of the workout area is a community gardens, which feature 39-foot by eight-foot raised garden beds that are available for rent. A 3.1 mile trail, the B-Line Trail, passes directly through the park. The Trail is nicely paved, completely accessible and well illuminated with LED lighting. If 3.1 miles is not enough for you, it connects to the Bloomington Rail Trail, thus adding 2 more miles. This is a nice park that has everything you could ask for. It is well maintained. I will not that there are a few urban campgrounds on the outskirts of the park and you will find transients sleeping on park benches and using the restroom there, but they are not aggressive and just keep to theirselves. I highly recommend checking this park out. You can easily spend a half day here.

    Do not throw your kid's birthday party here. The party leader didn't show and we had to organize…read moresomething ourselves on the fly. They still charged us for the party. Management terribly disorganized. The only reason they get two stars is because the kids had fun and the guy behind the counter didn't call the cops after I had a fucking meltdown. When he realized the teenage party organizer blew off his/her shift, I all ready had 20 elementary school kids accounted for. After ripping the manager a new one, I told him to give me the keys to the fucking equipment room - which he did or I would have kicked it in. I setup stations in the arena - think relay + boot camp. It was a lot of work on my part, but the kids had fun so I let the staff that was there live. Seriously, fuck this place.

    We had an overnight event here with about 110 kids (almost all cheerleaders ages 6-18.) From the…read moreminute the phone was answered to make the reservation until we left the event it was 100% perfect. Jeff was very accommodating with our needs, and customized different aspects of our rental to best suite our needs. I had tried many places before checking here (I didn't realize they did overnight parties) and I found Metro to be the most competitively priced and have the best facility. The lady from Metro who hosted our overnight was fantastic too. She was fun, friendly and welcoming to all our guests. The facility is huge with something to do for everyone! It also was very clean and well laid out. There are many convenient aspects to Metro if you are hosting a party including lockers for your guests, to an ice maker for your party needs, a concession stand open all night for your guests, video arcade games, batting cages,basketball, volleyball and of course their soccer field. If you are going to rent a facility for kids, and you need to have a lot of different activities for them, this is the best place!

    Considering how many times I've been here, it's about time I've reviewed this place and given how…read morepleased I was with it upon my first trip to check out this gym up until now when I no longer even live in Indiana anymore (but Louisville is close enough to drive to work out here when I visit friends and fam in the area). Every time I head bk to Haubstadt, I make sure to go to Bob's Gym, I dont even visit all my family each time I'm in the area and certainly no other establishment each and ever time I come back. So, it might be fair to say this spot is my favorite in all of Southern Indiana, period. Given that I've never been a gym rat or super into working out in public, that seems like a crazy sentence for me to state, but this place has a lot more than originally meets the eye (and especially the name, I really think the name made me think at first the place would just be a room with a few weights and dumbbells, but it's an-all-in-one workout, spaday, and rejuvenation center if you take advantage of all its perks! First of all, the Hydro massage chairs...are worth the whole membership. 10 minutes of absolute heaven and relaxation. And since they're never full, you can just ask the person working up front (real late most nights one guy is a total hottie too, but I don't get creepy and ogle him, unless he ever says he's okay with that, then of course I will, but that's just a potential extra, I do come here to work out...and the hydro chairs). It's open 24/7, which rules for a night owl like me! Do you know how awesome it is to have a whole swimming pool to yourself at 2 in the morning? Only 2nd to those hydro chairs in rejuvenation and relaxation-building time. There's plenty of equipment. I do use that too. You can take cool classes like Pound (I like to think of it like "Stomp," but with well, pounding drumsticks and stuff instead of stomping barrels and stuff. You can also buy smoothies and even cute goodies with the logo and such. I might write more later tonight, or sometime past midnight to get that pool to myself again.

We had our own home gym but decided to go to Bob's Gym to be able to use the variety of machines we don't have. Well everything started well until recently. We have noticed people not wiping the machines down after they use it. People are putting towels on the machines to save while they bounce from one machine to the other and having us to wait on the machine we want to use. I went to grab a spray bottle to wipe down a machine but the bottles were missing because some people carry them around during their workout. There is also too many kids to sit on the machine and not using them because they are on their phone. I'm a patient person but enough is enough. Why have the rules on the wall when they are being violated everyday? Other than that, the staff is friendly and we have met some cool people. The Hydro massage is like my favorite after my workout.

Plenty of walking trails, the summer offers a huge pool and some sad looking tennis courts. Camping available with newly added row of full hook ups ( worth the extra money). There is an inn and a restaurant on site too.

    Spring Mill State Park is a 1,358-acre state park located about two hours south of Indy and about…read morethree miles east of Mitchell on SR 60. It was established in 1927. The park includes Pioneer Village, the Gus Grissom Memorial, a nature center, campgrounds, cycling lanes, and it also has a tennis court and a basketball court. Pioneer Village and Grissom Memorial are interpretive facilities. There's also Lakeview Activity Center and a Twin Caves Boat Tour. Spring Mill has programs throughout the year. Spring Mill Inn has 71 rooms, though I didn't stay overnight and can't review the Inn. I do know that the inn offers free wireless, a splash pad, a restaurant (The Millstone Dining Room), a complimentary coffee/tea station (24 hours), a game room, a gift shop featuring Indiana products (24 hours), satellite TV/DVD players, and the inn has an ATM. Like all Indiana state parks now, Spring Mill offers a motorized chair that can handle at least some of its trails for those with mobility issues. There are seven trails plus a two-mile mountain bike trail and a "stagecoach" trail. Trails range from accessible to easy to rugged. The majority of the trails are considered moderate. The trails range from 1/4 mile long up to 2.5 miles. There are some gorgeous trails here including a couple of lakes and caves - Donaldson Cave is terrific, the Twin Caves are great, and for those who like older cemeteries I recommend a stop at Hamer Cemetery. Spring Mill State Park is certainly not the most accessible of our state parks, however, it is a terrific place to camp for those who like it a little rougher. The Inn is a terrific option for those who prefer the indoor experience. In terms of the wheelchair, contacting the park in advance is typically recommended to make sure it's available. The best way to enjoy Indiana Parks is with an annual pass (seniors/military discounts), however, single-use entry is also an option.

This park is…read morelocated a couple of minutes from French Lick Resort, so it's a good option if you're looking for a playground and you're staying at the resort. I like vintage things, so aesthetically, the playground here is right up my alley. The playground equipment looks like it was plopped onto the grounds in the early 1980s and hasn't been touched since. The playground equipment is all metal, with tall twisty slides, a cage-looking area, metal poles and a metal merry-go-round. The ground is sandy. My kids spent the majority of the time spinning on the merry-go-round. Literally, that's all there is to this playground, so your enjoyment might vary depending on how quickly your children tire of playing with a few old metal things. This park looks like it's built vertically, so if you climb up a little hill, you'll see a baseball field and some other things. Parking is almost nonexistent for the playground: just drive to where the road stops and pull over on the side of the road.

    Away from the highly visited hotels and shops of West Baden Springs and French Lick, the northwest…read morearea of West Baden Springs has a community park. The entrance is located on a hill and has parking, a basketball court, and a concession stand nearby. At the base of the hill, several baseball fields and a playground are located. The ball fields look to be in good condition. So does the playground, but it lacked any type of protective surface to keep kids dry and safe. It appears to be just a dirt (not even grass) play area which was dry during my visit. There were a couple roads that lead down to the ballfields and playground, but parking was limited other than along the roadside. Not an ideal layout for anyone who wants to use the concession stand or paved parking up above. Review #2666
