You know for a neighborhood rec center this place is the quite nice. Sure it's not your typical gym per se...no meat heads, loud music or waiting for a machine, but it's still pretty nice! It's quite reasonable priced and the hours are accommodating to most schedules. I was surprised to learn they're open weekends. I previously worked out at an on campus work gym. The Evendale Rec center is nicer, has ample weights and cardio equipment, even an extra room for classes I sneak into to sneak in some stretches or planks. The locker room is large and has several showers. Everything seems so clean. There's paper towels and sanitizer available throughout the gym. The down fall and only down fall is no towel service, you better bring your own! It's very utilitarian and no frills, but you're there to work out, right?! There are a few frills though like a water treadmill, a sauna and a hot tub. If you're a resident of Evendale or work in the city, I'd definitely recommend this place as a cost effective, yet fully functional gym. (A little part of me hates writing this review, because I don't want other people finding my place!) read more
