Admittedly, I don't have a lot of experience with gyms. The others I know are mostly hotel workout rooms. However, in this city rec center I'm hard-pressed to think what someone might want that's not here. Outdoor workout equipment for the few comfortable days we have in St. Louis? An outdoor track? Perhaps a sauna? Renaud has an indoor pool with open (general) swim area, lap lanes, water features, and a hot tub. The gym includes workout machines and free weights. Cycling, rowing, walking and stair machines are nearby. Personal trainers can coach you for additional cost. The gym has multiple basketball courts for half-court play or single shooting practice, plus volleyball courts. A 1/10-mile overhead walking track circles the workout area and overlooks the basketball activity. At additional cost to the reasonable single, couple or family memberships are dozens of classes on health, fitness, personal growth, and entertainment for adults and children. Locker rooms include showers and no-charge locks are available. Convenient parking. read more
