I think they advertised it @ the O zone... if you sign up for their draw and you got a card, you can go online and get a free pass..

Anybody been there and thinks it'd be worth $58/month? It's cheaper than Steve Nash and I'd get usage out of the indoor paddling centre and maybe yoga

^ The weightroom isnt that great at oval IMO, but this was last year.
Its got advanced machines and fairly new dumbells (of course :P), but only a few benches and weird mirrors =\. Feels kinda weird to work out at oval
Doubt it changed tho

Unless of course you play any of volleyball/basketball/badminton/table tennis/ice skate.
I play most of the sports listed, therefore I think it's pretty worth it  | |

been a member there since it started and i regularly use the gym.
word of advice, if you are going to go there just for the gym equipments then you will be pretty upset.
I'll list some things out off the top of my head that i do not like about the weightroom.
-Dumbbells can be easily maxed
-Only one set of dumbbells
-No Pec Dec
-Incline bench press seat sucks, made for people with short legs or something
-Kids constantly take up the benches (4 of them in total only)
-A lot of teens there who talk a lot and have horrible techniques (i know this drives some people nuts)
-No Decline benchpress unless you love the smith machine
-Lack of mirrors

^ That is pretty lacking, only 4 benches for freeweighted dumbells. And i'm assuming you'd need to take one of those benches to use for the smith machine?
If that's the case, will probably recoonsider another fitness centre.
Thanks for the insight xtacy
