So after the Snap fitness fiasco, I found out my brother in law has guest passes to the Barrington park recreation center. This place is less gym more community rec center (made obvious by its name). There’s a lot more older peeps here, and they all know each other pretty well. I remember hearing a couple of times “Hello Frank, how are you doing?”. …There’s not a whole lot to this gym, it’s just your average… gym. Either I’m experiencing gym burnout or this place is just super non-descript
Gym layout
For the gym part of the facility, there’s more emphasis on the cardio/weight machines. The dumbells and barbells are off to the side and there aren’t a lot of them. Only one squat rack, but hey, that’s all you really need. They have a yoga room as well as a basketball court and an indoor track. When it’s 3 degrees outside I bet that indoor track is clutch.
Locker rooms
On the smaller side but very serviceable. Have everything you need (showers, shaving cream, etc) just not 20 of each.
Classes
Seems like they offer a lot of classes, though I wasn’t able to participate because of the holidays.
Surfability
Not easy, if it wasn’t for the guest passes I would’ve had to shell out $12 for the day. They don’t really care about getting clients as much as a commercial gym, so there is no trial package.
Days in: 120
Amount Paid: $0
