what's great about the oval is that nobody goes to the area at the end with the power racks and platforms. and you can do your squats, deads, press, bench and other compound exercises in peace.
most people are busy fascinating over the three sets of dumbbells ranging from 5 lb - 100 lbs, a smith machine, a power rack made for curling, a power rack for miscellaneous use, and 999999 machines in other areas of the gym.

hardwood floors at a gym...
and a bosu ball of course  | they use that rubber material thats made for walking with skates on safely for the rest of the gym, but for some reason, this area with the 4 squat racks and 3 powerlifting platforms has hardwood floors. they also dub it the "high performance" area
guess its not a big deal since no dumb bells would be dropped here

Otherwise, the rinks, courts, spinning rooms, tracks, etc are all there for you to use whenever they aren't booked by teams or whatever.
They're adding a rock climbing wall next year. If they had a pool, it would be perfect.

haha this thread is funny. 5 months ago everyone was going on about going to whatever that gym was that cost like $8/month regardless of how absolutely horrible the facilities were. now everyone is talking about how nicely equipped this gym is.

You clowns must have missed the part where I said "equipment notwithstanding". even though you quoted it when attempting to make fun of me 
I was obviously poking fun in a tongue-in-cheek way at the goofy hardwood floors and bosu balls. I obviously know (and acknowledged) that it is a well equipped gym. I just think it looks faggy.
But of course everyone has to get all offended about it, even though it was just a friendly joke...

Oval gym is sooo f'n nice, but $51 a month is steep when I consider I can get pretty much the same workout at sportscentral for $8 for just the gym. It's pretty fair if you take advantage of all the other amenities available there, however.

I tried Sport Central. Good gym, just too many punks leaving weights around, hanging by benches and squat racks and not using them, etc. $8/month... nah. Quote:

But honestly, Oval gym is beautiful, even just looking over at the architecture is awesome lol. I've already gone a couple times and found the perfect time to go when its not chaotic.
$50/month is steep but I for sure will be shooting hoops and on the ice when the rink opens up again in the winter. Quote:
