good neighborhood gym with cardio/weight machines/free weights/lap pool/sauna/small rock climbing wall. You can visit w/o a membership for $5-10. If you belong to a YMCA elsewhere, they should let you in for free. Let me know if you want to go and I can call to give them a heads up I have a guest going.
