Richmond oval
 

What's the gym like there? I have this free pass and was thinking of checking it out and taking advantage of the fact the stuff there is still brand new.

Here's the free pass if anyone else wants it. Expires on the 25th.

so i can print that out and go to the oval for free?

from what i've heard, the gym is really nice and they got 2 nice bench press machines or something like that, but i haven't gone there myself yet.

its nice and clean but there are absolutely no mirrors. 1 flat bench. 1 incline bench, 1 smith, 2 adjustable benches (flat+incline, no decline), 1 squat bar. dumbell's go up to 110 i believe. quite a few machines too.

just went there to work out. its really nice inside, you work out on the third (top) floor and it looks over the whole oval. there are no mirrors, and they need more benches imo, but i would get the 60/60 membership.

So, this place only has 1 power rack? Would you guys say its mostly machines?

have any of you played on their basketball/badminton courts?

its mostly machines, basketball is sick there they give you top flights and open gym like all day basicly

they posted some pics on their website

That coupon is actually fraudulent. I tried using it already.

Gym is super nice!

Are you sure? Based on some Google searches, it seems like the Free Day Pass is legitimate and was emailed out via a mailing list.

yea, just print it out. They make u write down ur name, address, & bday just to makes sure u dun use it more than once.

The bball & badminton courts are in the middle of the skating oval, it's kinda neat. Too bad there were too many ppl when i went.

The coupon is legit. I have used it myself and it has worked. All the lady at the desk asked was for me to put my name and address on the back.

Going to use it for vball tonight, better not be a bunch of beginners. :mad:

I called b4 they said the free pass was expiring Feb 18th Mickz is correct, Name , DL#,phone# & address. I went twice they didn't care.

Neat, thanks for the those that confirmed the day pass is legit. Might go check out the ice this weekend and see how it is.

I hope these types of promos continue for the Oval. Definitely an incentive for Richmond residents to check out the venue.

There were email ones sent out that were a different size than the legit ones. I had a friend working we gave our id to them and the put it in the computer. I'm sure they don't care and will let you in regardless.

Worth checking out tho!!!

did it really expire on the 18th? I thought it expires on the 25th

No, still valid until 25th, I just used it.

the gym is pretty decent
equipments are awesome

sorry for bumping a year old thread
anyone still go to the oval gym? im thinking of making a card but not sure if the facility is still good . went a couple of times when it just opened but heard the oval went through some renovating. anyway, wanted to know if its a solid gym for a beginner

Yah the oval is even better, the whole 3rd floor is filled with machines, free weights and cardio machines and the bball courts are open whenever and they have a track like mineru now

Is it really 15$ to drop in (bball) for adults? I think that's what they told me when I called in a long time ago.. Here's to hoping they lowered it? ;p

^ assuming they didnt change the monthly pass, dont you only need to go 4 times or so at 15 to make up for the price? if so that isnt much and easily done. plus if you are a member you dont have to pay ridiculous parking rates since its free parking for members.
