Conway Regional Fitness Center in Arkansas Makes Meeting Fitness Goals Enjoyable

I now have my master's in Kinesiology. I have used many gym facilities, but none like Conway Regional. Each time I went there, I had a positive experience, even if I wasn't having the greatest day, I always left feeling positive about the workout experience that I had there.

The membership fee is around $40 per month with a joining fee of $150. However, they also offer a month to month membership which is $75 with no joining fee. I chose this option, because I was to move in two months. If you cancel before your one month membership ends, you will be charged $100 penalty.

The gym provides nice lockerrooms with showers, bathrooms with large mirrors, dressing stalls, lockers,hairdryers, a swiming pool with lap lanes and a large area for free swim, atleast five of each type of cardio equipment; the newest models of weight machines, and free weights.

The lockerrooms were excellent and kept very clean. Towels are provided; however, I would recommend taking washclothes, shampoo, and soap as those are not provided. They do provide plastic bags for you to carry your dirty clothes home in. Hair dryers are also provided in the large sink area of the lockerroom. This lockerroom leads straight to the pool, so a minimal amount of people have to see you in your swim suit. If you are subconscious like me that feature really appeals to you.

The pool is very nice with a large window that lets you enjoy the sunlight without having to be outside in the hot weather. There are plenty of loungechairs around the area and are also provided outside on a deck area if you like to sunbathe. There are two lap lanes, which are each big enough for two people, and a very large free swim area. There is also a dressing area poolside. A whirlpool is provided right next to the pool. I can't comment on its quality, as I never used it, but it always looked very clean.

The cardio equipment is the best I have ever used. It is all of the best brand, quality, and latest technology. Also my favorite part is that almost every machine has its own personal television connected to the machine. You plug your ear phones into the machine and you are in complete control of your workout entertainment, unlike in other gyms where you have to watch whatever everyone else is watching (usually sports, news, or music videos). Yes, they do have ellipticals! I have found it very difficult to find a gym with ellipticals, and Conway Regional has at least five (all with individual televisions might I add).

The weight training equipment is also of the best brand, quality, and latest technology. Each is labeled with exercise instructions. My favorite feature is that the adjustment handels are all yellow, so you know exactly what to look for when adjusting the machine.

The cardio and weight training equipment is upstairs. In the middle of the second floor is the personal training desk. A personal trainer is on duty at all times to help you. The towels to use during your workout and laundry basket for them is also located here. This is convenient for using towels during your workout to towel off or clean machines before or after use. Then, you can conveniently drop them off before leaving the area.

One thing I love about this gym above all is that they provide automatic hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the gym. This is wonderful for using when you are done with your workout, so that you don't carry any germs that you picked up in the gym home with you. I also love that the gym environment at Conway Regional is one of working out not picking up a date. I was never once approached by anyone of the opposite sex or hit on.

There are a couple negatives to the gym. The inside walking track is just three lanes around the cardio and weight training equipment which seems a little cramped. However, there is an outside track. I never used either track, so I can't comment on which is better. Another negative is that there aren't enough fans for everyone to have one if the center is full. However, I found that if I went around 2:00pm the gym was quite empty, and there were plenty of fans for everyone.

Out of the many gyms that I have used this is the best, and I highly recommend that you go in for there one day trial membership today!
