I just love being able to get on equipment and get a good workout in a temperature controlled environment. It's better than sweating my butt off doing bodyweight outside!

Love this YMCA, it’s the only one I go to from time to time during the summer, however, I recently contracted a ringworm from their unclearly pools, and while I understand how hard it is to clean them, it’s still quite horrible. I would avoid public pools at all costs if possible, besides that the equipments amazing and the other rooms are cleanly. Enjoy some racquetball in the quiet of rooms sanctioned off from the main area. Or life weights and run treadmill while watching the news or listening to your own music. Play basketball with some friends if the gym isn’t rented out or full. Or even run track upstairs in the wide overhang above the gym. Fun fun fun. I recommend memberships if you’re going to visit a lot and with more than one person.
