Gyms/Fitness Centers near Plaza
Anybody know of options to join gyms or fitness centers near the Plaza? I belong to Woodside and am an not a huge fan. Wanting something cheaper than $120 a month and was hoping there was a place someone knew of that might be a better alternative. Less crowded and Douchy.

we belong to Woodside as well, and i thought it was crowded and douchey too, until i started working out at the location across the street from the "main" center with the bar and stuff. it's never crowded, and it's not douchey at all! you should go over there.NDTeve wrote: Less crowded and Douchy.

UMKC has community memberships. I think it's $120 for three months, cheaper if you buy a longer membership. They have nice remodeled locker rooms, pool, decent equipment and free weights, indoor track. I've gone there for over 10 years. It has a nice mix of students, faculty and community people. There aren't too many classes, though, and you do have to pay extra for them. A parking pass costs a little more too.

Re: Gyms/Fitness Centers near Plaza
I would highly recommend both Scott Fitness (new, large location at the Uptown Shops) and UMKC.
UMKC has a great 2nd floor indoor track that circles the fieldhouse, a lot of equipment, nice light, good mix of people. Location right next to Plaza.
Scott Fitness, while in a slightly dingy new location, has a ton of good classes (gf LOVES a couple of them), nice equipment, lots of local art and a great vibe. Cheap, too.

Re: Gyms/Fitness Centers near Plaza
We belong to Woodside and Scott. We use woodside primarily for the pool in the summer, though I can vouch that the area across the street from the main building is much less crowded (though without the nice locker rooms). I've actually always thought of it as the "women's" section. Not a huge fan of Woodside for the weight-lifting, too crowded. I agree with you on the price though. Ouch!
Love the broadway location of Scott for weight-lifting, cardio and the Westside location for Zumba!
You'd think we'd be in better shape given that we pay for two gym memberships.

Someone also mentioned that the Roanoke Community Center has a pretty decent equipment selection. $20/month or pay by the day
