The Lakeview Public Library (across the street) has open parking after 6. The meters in front of the gym are free after 8 and on weekends/holidays, and usually have many vacancies after 9.
Small location. 1-4 not too packed. Staff is friendly . You can incorporate the Cleveland cascade or Lake Merritt in your workout if it gets too claustrophobic. Great boot camp included w/membership.
The weight room is dope, it's the whole upper floor and the machines are grouped into target areas. Beware the cold ass showers that heat up slow and turn back cold in under a minute.
A medium sized gym with no towel service (thankfully you can buy one for $2 if you forget).
Free weights... Although, they need more space and more free weights.
Carefull with your personal effects. Staff let's in random strangers use the bathrooms . I got my locker broken into and lost over $1000 in expenses with identity theft. Has this ever happened to you?
ZUMBA with Amy on Sunday mornings is the BEST! 10am class .
