Available: OKC-Aero-Fitness Health Center

Has anyone been to the fitness center? I looked on the website and saw that they have machines. Do they have free weights also? Is it crowded after class? Is there alot of eye candy? Any help would be appreciated!
Here is a link for anyone else that is interested.

Heres your eye candy...

hehe, your killing me.

Looking at the Eq list they have smith machine(s) so I would think they at least have plates. Hopefully they have free weights (with no restriction) cause they are way better than universal machines

I would also like to know if they have free weights etc... I may have to torrent something like p90x for my stay if I can't find a reasonably priced/equipped gym.

I hope there's a YMCA with a pool nearby.

The downside of being a swimmer is you need a pool.

Aren't you taking this sea turtle thing a bit far?

I swam in high school for four years....best time was 24.32 in the 50m freestyle....I was alright I suppose.

100m Breaststroke was probably my favorite one to swim in meets.

then...the 200IM...that was a fun one.

I'm michael phelps sisters, friends cousins brother aunts nephew.

p90x rocks!!!!....but it is on the expensive side!!

Not sure about the YMCA (que the Village People), but there is an aquatic center with an indoor pool at the Oklahoma City Community College about a mile East of the airport.

I'm currently a member. Yes they have free weights. The busiest times are from 3:30-5:00. Even then it's not too busy that you can't get a work out in. There could be a wait for a cardio machine. Any other questions, please ask.

Hm maybe I'll do that community college thing, George.

I'm debating signing up for the YMCA now. It's $100 per year and then $24 per month on top if it. I'd be angry if I pay that and then they don't let me switch to an OKC YMCA.

Gnome - I swam in high school too, mostly in the IM relays. I'm just getting back into it now, but for fitness not racing.

I've been running 3 miles every other day, but my knee hurts so I think I'll try swimming again. Or if I do the YMCA, I could work out every day of the week...swim one day and then elliptical on the next. That might be easier on the knee.

I see these on the website. Anyone know if they're OK? I can only find the zip code of the FAA Academy and not its address so I don't know which are close.

Wow that's cheap. I pay $65 a month for my YMCA membership (crazy huh?)

Earlywine would be the closest, it's not too far.

For mapping purposes just use Will Roger's Airport as your point of reference. That's where Mike Monraunie (or however it's spelled) is.

Yikes.

The rates by me:

$24/mth + $100/yr for ages 24 and under.

$46/mth and a $160/yr for ages 25-61.

$75/mth for a short term monthly membership.

Lucky me I'm 23.

Sweet, that's great! There are 5 within 10 miles. Now I just have to see if they'll let me use them, and I'll join.

Who is it that going to OKC Tower? Doing all those Con-Air flights.

If you are looking for a pool and gym stay at the Isola Bella. It has five pools (one is a indoor olympic size pool) and a gym. I have a two bedroom reserved there and am looking forward to using them daily.

I would be careful about going to any YMCA near the Academy....It is not a great area.

The Earlywine Y is in a very nice area ($300k+ homes). My fiance is a member there. It's also a nice complex with an outdoor water park, very nice tennis center, and outdoor running track around the grounds. It's probably the closest Y to the academy but the opposite direction from the FAA housing.

It would be convenient for those living in the Moore area (The Fairways and The Greens).
