Please, please tell me there is a gym.
If not, why can't a Results, WSC, or Gold's open up shop?
No gym. Whoever wrote the press release screwed up twice. This is neither a fitness center, nor a recreation center. It's technically a community center. I'm told this means they didn't need to build a gym. You can, however, work out at either Sherwood, or the Trinidad Rec.
address?
what's the address?
1200 block of Neal Street. Next to the old Joe Cole.
oh geez. i thought that was a school they were building. So what does one do in a community center?
It's connected to the school. I don't know all the intimate details of what's inside because the plans have changed a could of times since I saw the materials.
Boo on there not being a gym. I'm glad it's opening up. Why isn't there a gym?
To allay any confustion, yes there will be a gym (shared with the school), for more informaiton please see the info at the link below. It starts on page 21

Sorry, I meant there is no weight room. There is a gym in which you can play basketball. It sounded to me like the commentor was asking for weights/machines.
If you want a gym, go to Sherwood. It's not the fanciest thing, but it get's the job done.
How much is the membership at Sherwood?
Seems odd that there isn't a private gym facility anywhere in Near Northeast. WSC would make a killing on the west end of H St.
Save the comments about PT and Yoga. I know they exist. I'm not interested in them.
Sherwood is roughly $125 for a year or $20 a month if you want monthly.
Speaking of gyms, I noticed paper covering the windows of Will Power. Is this some kind of progress in replacing it with something else. That is one of the largest spaces on H St
S,
a few parties have expressed interest in that space. I'll look into what's happening tomorrow.
