While I consider the ability to travel a great blessing, I have to admit that certain complications…read moretypically ensue from being away from home. One of those challenges can be how to continue your workout routine when on the road. While I don't have specific recommendations for how to alleviate this situation in all cities, I can certainly provide some assistance when it comes to Bend, Oregon. The Athletic Club of Bend offers numerous opportunities for you to get that workout in when you're in town for a visit. Their amenities include 7 indoor tennis courts, an indoor running track, indoor and outdoor pools, a large spa, cardio equipment, weight room, a full basketball court, and 4 racquetball/squash courts. While those amenities don't necessarily make this place unique, there are two characteristics that do set this place apart. First, they openly accept visitors to the club. Many clubs are very closed minded about this, but not so here. Sure, you'll have to pay a guest fee, but it was very reasonable. Second, I found the members here to be genuinely welcoming. I chose to utilize the club for some tennis and I felt immediately accepted by a group of members who have a standing weekly match. After just 2 hours together I felt like a part of the group and left with names and phone numbers for the next time that I visit Bend. Sure, you can come up with an excuse to not workout while in Bend, but that excuse can't be that there's no facilities that you have access to or there are no friendly people here to connect with. And that's...Henry's Take. #bendexcercise #bendtennis #bendgym

Finding a formula that successfully caters to both advanced, moderate, and even an ambitious beginner athletes is tough to pull off. These folks do it. They have purposely named the trainers "coaches". The coaches are part educator, motivator, and community member. The workouts are goal oriented, which I believe is imperative to measure success and strive towards a feeling of accomplishment. If you want to work hard, push yourself, and make personal gains, this is your place. That said, I wouldn't recommend it for someone who isn't willing to get out of their comfort zone.

The drinking fountain has exquisite pressure, and the machines allow you to develop a pronounced preference for your dominate side.

I've been pleased with the self governing of the regulars, and grateful for the fresh Simple Green scent laid down by the previous occupant of any machine I choose. Vending machines prices are barely above wholesale, and the selection is popular. All-in-all I've been happier with this gym membership than I was before I got it. Stay snappy.

Lots of members complained. Reed Market location kept the Cybex but too far to drive. 2) The Bend gym is a palace compared to other Snap Fitness locations out-of-state. We visited six in Arizona. Most are hole in the walls and not worth the effort to go. Arizona Planet Fitness gyms are similar in size to the Bend location. 3) Upfront $89 fee is ridiculous . . plus, for a couple it would be $79/month. Based on the above, it looks like Planet Fitness is my best bet for decent machines, reasonable price, and good size gyms for out-of-state.

In the three years we've worked together, she has not only helped me accomplish all of that, she has taken me far beyond what I ever thought I could do. Jessica has this incredible ability to push me exactly when I need it, even in the moments when I would've quit on myself. Her workouts are always thoughtful, always tailored to my needs, and always spot-on. She listens, adapts, and somehow knows just how to challenge me while keeping the sessions fun (unless I'm gasping for air--but even then, she gets me talking again!). I admire her expertise, her professionalism, and the genuine care she puts into every session. I respect her more than I can say. I would never have reached this level of strength, confidence, and overall health without her guidance. She is amazing--plain and simple--and I'm beyond grateful to have her in my corner.
