McConnell
is
a
rehab
center
but
you
might
not
know
that
it
is
also
a
gym
with
a
full
complement
of
services:
weight
machines,
cardio
equipment,
personal
training,
indoor
and
outdoor
walking
tracks,
giant
fitness
studios
,
and
a
huge
slate
of
fitness
classes,
including
more
aquacise
than
you
can
shake
a
stick
at.
And
it's
open
to
the
public.
But
don't
join
expecting
to
take
your
kids
to
the
pool
because
other
than
for
swimming
lessons
during
non-peak
hours,
kids
are
not
allowed.
That's
right,
aquacisers
and
swimmers:
rejoice.
You
are
no
longer
in
a
losing
battle
for
a
sliver
of
pool
resources.
And
no
kids
means
this
place
is
QUIET.
Does
this
mean
sometimes
it's
a
little
TOO
quiet?
Yes.
The
membership
is
largely
older.
For
instance,
until
now
I
had
never
been
in
a
class
where
people
have
yelled
at
the
instructor
to
turn
the
music
DOWN
(this
was
in
aquacise,
I've
never
run
into
this
in
the
exercise
studios.)
But
having
an
older
population
doesn't
mean
the
classes
are
less
challenging.
There
is
a
huge
range
and
variety
offered
at
all
times
of
day,
including
plenty
on
weeknights.
I've
taken
plenty
of
appropriately
challenging
classes
here
and
I've
never
taken
a
bad
one.
I
do
like
the
~40
minute
class
time
because
it's
easy
to
either
get
in
and
out
when
you
need
to
or
stack
a
few
together.
On
the
negatives,
there
isn't
much.
The
locker
rooms
are
older,
it
would
be
nice
if
they
could
redo
them
someday.
But
they
are
clean
and
the
lockers
are
tall
single
units
rather
than
double-stacked
units,
which
makes
using
them
much
easier.
It's
also
a
little
pricey,
but
less
pricey
than
Lifetime.
I
also
wish
the
warm
water
pool
didn't
have
that
weird
gate
thing
between
the
shallow
and
deep
ends,
it
gets
in
the
way.
The
only
thing
I
really
don't
like:
They
make
you
do
a
mandatory
"fitness
assessment"
when
you
join
(the
cost
apparently
ranges
a
bit
depending
on
whether
they
are
running
a
special,
expect
to
pay
a
one-time
fee
of
$99-$149
for
that.)
The
dude
who
gave
me
mine
was
borderline
rude
and
condescending
and
it
was
a
waste
of
my
time
and
money
but
whatever.
It's
short--mine
was
like
15
minutes,
maybe--and
not
particularly
valuable
but
it's
not
pass/fail
so
enjoy
it
if
it's
a
good
experience
and
grit
your
teeth
and
know
it
will
be
over
soon
if
it's
not.
