I dropped by Downtown Sports and Wellness while visiting Albuquerque and staying at a local hotel,…read moreand it was a great gym to get an "on-the-road" workout in. With my room key, I got a discount day pass rate (around $12) with an easy sign-in process. This place has a lot of equipment, including barbells, squat racks, free weights, rowers, cardio equipment, and standard weight machines. It's still missing some things, but for a drop-in, it's completely fine. There weren't a ton of people there, even on a Saturday morning, so I didn't have to wait for anything. One thing I really appreciated about this gym was all the workout "supplements" they had in vending machines. Whether you opt for a natural pre-workout powder, or one that has 10,000X your daily recommended doses of caffeine and BCAA's; and whether you are looking for vegan protein powder, or more traditional whey, they have a supplement for everyone (all in single servings). So, if you forget to bring your pre- or post- workout drinks, they probably have you covered. The locker rooms were fairly large and clean. You do not have to bring your own lock. My two critiques would be their fairly limited hours, especially on weekends, and the difficulty in finding it (it's downstairs in a sort of underground mall which is half locked-up). Also, it might be a bit limited as a normal gym with a regular membership. Otherwise, it's a great place to drop in while on the road for a workout.

The nice person that answered the call notified me that only their supervisor/manager could provide the membership cost and amenities information, and requested my name and phone number for a call back. I declined. Genesis, you just lost my interest and my business. Transparency is a requirement in the modern world. Sketchy business models are just that, sketchy.

This group of talented people had an newbie orientation and Roller derby being something on my "must do" list, I gave it a shot. I knew very little about the sport and my skating skills are rusty at best but they are motivating and helpful. Once I was a part of the league I was invited to great fundraising events and practices they have at various locations. They pitch in with helping the community and are starting up a youth team. I am smitten by the roller derby world and you will too.

I particularly enjoy the side gym, which has core balls, free weights, dumbbells kettle balls, and stretching bands. The use of wage seems so important in maintaining health, and this group provides plenty of opportunity for such exercising with lots of other folks who are similarly trying to improve their health . One of the nicest features of the club are the members who look out for one another and respect one another.

This isn't a gym for everyone, and serves many people who come there with a purpose other than to…read moreget fit. New Heart NM is a medically supervised gym for people recovering from heart attacks, strokes, covid, or fighting obesity. It's also a place to go if you want to get approved for a workout by a cardiologist, with a routine pulled together by one of several kinesiologists or exercise specialists. It's also used by seniors who have access to the Silver Sneakers program set up as part of their insurance or medicare. It's largely an under-utlized gym, where all the equipment is in very good shape and kept clean by rules of Covid and all of the clients there adhere to the rules. If anything, they have too much equipment on the floor, given than it's never more than 10% full. The staff is welcoming, well educated, and each client is committed to their routine and has to track BP, O2, and heart rates throughout their designated exercise routine. Target heart rates, resistance levels, and circuits are all noted on detailed exercise sheets that every client has to keep track of. Where they could improve greatly is refining their work flow. They need to invest in a way to keep track of all the data electronically so that the staff isn't faced with a mountain of data entry everyday. What's the point of having a kinesiologist or an exercise specialist if they're not able to be on the floor regularly, encourage clients, and share knowledge if all you're doing is having them do data entry? Because the personal touch is how you earn a good reputation as well as getting new members. Without their enthusiasm, this is simply a place for old people on Silver Sneakers to shuffle through. They're also not working to get Gen X'ers and Gen Y's, who also might have issues with obesity, high blood pressure or diabetes. Pretty much everyone there is an aging boomer or older. There's much they could do to expand their services to provide services that they can bill insurance for. They could clear out the small room and turn that into Physical Therapy with Physical Therapists for recovering orthopedic patients and people who've been sent thru worker's comp. They could have a robust dietary program, staffed by a clinical Registered Dietician who works with not only those who want to lose weight, but those trying to come back from fighting cancer. They could do more adaptive sports training for those with mobility limitations. A higher profile overall when it comes to supporting athletic or fitness events that active people want to be in will help people find out about them, gain credibility in the community, and get them in. In all, there's only upwards to go, but that will involve retooling their board of directors and add persons with strong community networking, and financial backgrounds, who want to see this gym a success and unclip the wings of the present staff who are all stuck behind computers. Operated properly, and expanded to the westside and the NE, this gym could save and enhance lives.

The facility in downtown Albuquerque is well equipped and the three practice booths are busy. Scheduling is easy and I've been able to contact a pro and change appointments on the fly. I drive 1 hour and 45 minutes from northern New Mexico, and it's been worth it. They could use updated Foresight technology ( quad instead of the GC2) to pick up the club head in addition to the ball, but the video and flight scope work together well. The teaching is as good as you'll find at this price point. You need to figure out which pro can teach you with language and drills that match your game. All in all, I recommend these guys to anyone who wants to explore game improvement. They are a happy bunch and practicing golf beats working any day.
