This is what I have, but truthfully only go to the crystal city location since the pool is totally open at certain times for long swim workouts (like 1-1.5 hours). I’ve used the clubs out further to take a shower or hang in the hot tub after a long day on a bike, but it’s overall not worth it. I need to revisit my strategy here.
I frequent 4 locations for different reasons on different days. One is closer to my work, another is closer to my home, and another is next to my kid’s sport. The flexibility increases my chances of squeezing in a workout whenever I can. I like the classes better at some locations and the amenities better at others. I go 4x/week for an hour - either a class or weights. I like to walk on off-days so I skip the cardio. If I want to really pamper myself and I’m not rushing, I stay for a sauna or steam. I’m definitely getting my money’s worth.
I can see the value there. I’m down to two swims a week due to the races I’m doing this year having less challenging swims (basically nothing in open ocean with a gnarly potential current).
I was going 3x and also using the weight room. But that was too much of a time suck, so I bought stuff at home for strength training.
In the end, the marginal time savings when the pool is open (like it will be when I go later) is worth it to me. I’m already up against major time crunches all the time as it is.
