Love this place. You can know nothing about kayaking, show up, and by the end of the day you will feel like you are ready to take on some Colorado River rapids (although you probably shouldn't).  Free parking, grace time for setup, picnic tables, and…More »

Oh Marino. You have been referred to by some as my girlfriend.  And o, how much I love thee.  From the moment my card gets swiped and thrown in the little drawer to be swapped for a key and lock I am in heaven and do not want to leave you.  You are…More »

So my massage at Green Street Massage marks the first time in my life that a female cause me to produce certain noises and grunts without sexual acts being performed.

Got a massage here from renee.  Wow, best thing ever.  For a short girl her massage packed quite the punch. I am a bigger guy and sometimes I don't always get worked as good as I need to (I noticed this while in Asia). I was looking for a deep tissue…More »

My review here is for the gym facilities only.  I am surprised that nobody has reviewed the speed school yet.  

While at college I get to use one of the best fitness facilities in the New England area so whenever I have come home I would always look…More »

Came here with a bunch of coworkers for a ski weekend and really enjoyed myself.  I  can't say the skiing is the best I have experienced in the Northeast, but when you are around a slew of friends who love to drink you can usually make anything work.…More »

Parking $3...12 Pack of Bud Light and Cups to conceal the beer $18...Walking by a hypodermic needle on your way to the beach PRICELESS.

I had no idea what to expect when searching for a gym during a business trip to Wiscasset, Maine.  Here I was in a hotel with 2 treadmills and an elliptical.  This wasn't nearly enough.  

I had to take to this wonderful internet tool called yelp in…More »

This review is for the gym portion only.  I have very vague memories of hockey dinners here when i was younger so its hard to comment on the banquet hall.

What can be better than a gym below a bar in which you play a cat and mouse game with the owner,…More »

Ugh! I am not sure if my feelings about Planet Fitness are anger or disappointment.  I have very mixed emotions but neither of them are good.  My first gym experience was ghetto as hell. Sometimes leaves would blow in through the ventilation shafts…More »

Inspired by a western themed yelp event from last night I think the appropriate way to describe this Gold's is the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good...
Finally, there is a non-yuppie gym with dumbbells that only go over 50lb.  If you are looking to…More »
