We (me and my girls) just went over for the open house at the new local branch of the county YMCA. I believe they said it was actually opening next week. Hooray! It's a small storefront place, without much room, but they've packed a lot in there.
I was happy to see a bike rack out front in front of the windows (so I can ride my old clunker bike the ~1 mile over there).
Best of all from my perspective was quite a large child care area - glassed off for sound-proofing. Yay! Seen but not heard - perfect! Catherine and Elisabeth went straight to work trying to break all the new toys in there.
They have a decent freeweights area, an array of weight machines, 4 treadmills, 4 reclined exercycles, and 8 elliptical trainers. I think that should be plenty of space to get a free spot for a workout in this small town.
Best of all, it's 3 doors down from the new Chinese restaurant.
I doubt I will use it much in the summer, but I'm looking forward to having it as a nearby workout alternative in the winter. I may just get back to doing some actual weight-training again!
Catherine kept asking where the pool was, but alas, after Labor Day (when our two local outdoor pools close) we'll still have to drive a dozen miles back to Easton for that. I had to leave when Catherine started getting into the bagels and cream cheese, and wiping the cream cheese from her hands on their brand-new couch. Sigh.

well, it seems quite logical to me as the couch is just at the perfect height for her to be wiping her hands on : )
I wanted to go to the Y here but there isn't one close enough to me that I could justify what would likely be only the occasional use of it.
Heck, a decent place to work out and eat? All you need now is a place to get a good latte and some Thai food, and you'll be in Utopia!
Nancy,
Read your preiovus post about the Italian ice place..i hope they have gelato!!
Hope they offer massages too! (I guess that would be a YMCA-spa tho and cost more!) :-)
