My favorite place in Ankara. If you're coming from the city, hop on the Bilkent Tunus bus and walk…read morea quarter mile up hill, it's diagonal from Bilkent Center/Real. Best swimming times are weekday mornings, Friday nights. Best indoor track running times are NOT weekdays between 6:30-8 PM. Also avoid running during meal hours because there might be some food scents coming from the dining area within the complex, adjacent from the track. Great selection of weights, well-educated trainers, extremely hygenic facilities. Slightly beaten up cardio equipment but sometimes its good to have a reminder around of what people can do to machines. Once you get your membership, you can use your card in other SI facilities including Izmir, Oran Ankara and two in Istanbul.

Product choice: The product choice in Ankara is not quite 'there yet". This may be due to the store buying local groceries as much as possible, it makes financial sense. Aesthetics: Aesthetically speaking, the Ankara store missed the point in its lighting, which gives out a grey-ish hue and is quite un-pleasing after a few minutes! In contrast, Istanbul Macrocenters marry lighting and store style quite well, which gives out a warm and quality atmosphere -- it's all about the experience. Location: At last the store is far, far and away unless you live in the new suburbs of Ankara (after Bilkent University). Being around Panora, it's quite a drive for a few items. Products: 4 **** Store Design: 3 *** Location: 2 ** Update: I've seen a MACROCENTER store sign in one of the new building at the corner of Eskisehir and Konya road right across from Armada Shopping Center! There's hope!
