Lost Battalion Hall Recreation Center

Came here with a friend who was interested in checking out the Olympic Powerlifting team. I don’t know much about it, but she joined and I think she’s enjoying it! I decided not to join because of the price and distance.
Anyways, this review is for the weight room… if you could even call it that. Seriously, my tiny high school had a bigger and better weight room. I go to Asser Levy Recreation, so I guess I’m spoiled with a pretty nice gym considering the price.
The weight room is a tiny little cage (literally, it is fenced in) in the basement, with one tiny mirror. Very limited machines, small range of dumbbell weights, no space to do any barbell exercises (deadlifts, squats, lunges…). There’s a smith machine and one incline bench set-​up. Just a disaster really.
The cardio room had a decent amount of machines so that was nice.
I guess I gave an extra star because it’s cool that there’s an olympic powerlifting team, and the place is cheap, and the basketball courts looked nice.

I joined this recreation center because I wanted a place to work out, and there are no good gyms in the area. Also, gyms are too expensive for me, and this place is $ 50 for 6 months and $ 100 for a year. It’s really basic, but I like the community feel of it. To get to the fitness center, you walk through the ping pong tournaments or whatever the day’s activity is. It’s always busy, but I’ve never had to wait for a cardio machine. The staff are really nice and helpful. A good choice for those who don’t care about all the frills you get at a fancy gym and just want to work out.

Good spot 2 play ball at i played during th adults time during the week bring ur own ball tho lol more then enough courts to play on few lockers next to th courts havetobring your own lock def signed up for a membership

I was pretty bummed out when I learned that this was the closest rec center to me. The weight room is separated from the rest of the basement area by walls constructed of wood and chicken wire. The cardio room is a long rectangle with machines down each side which are awkwardly placed. I didn’t feel like this place was maximizing it’s use of space. Also, the first treadmill I hopped on was broken. Seriously, only 3 of the buttons worked. In addition there are no locker rooms. Rather, there is one small row of lockers, many of which didn’t appear to work, which are placed outside the restrooms. The only plus of this place is it’s cost. $ 75 for a 6 month membership and $ 150 for a year’s membership.
