Focusing on building strength so I appreciate the weights area. Good options for people who are doing barbell exercises and I like that they have the Rogue weights that are the size of a 45lb weight but in different weight variations. That makes my workouts with deadlifts or barbell rows much easier. Also the staff are great, always nice and happy to greet or help people.

YMCA allowed me a trial membership to use the facilities while relocating and living in hotel across the street. Great value for you $ and now i use the Y's across BR area, depending on if I am at work, home, or playing tennis.
