Gym

Preface

The gym I will be referencing today is a local one that only has one location.  With that said, since I workout at this institution regularly, I would prefer to not drop its name at this time.  If you've ever been to this particular fitness facility, then you will most likely be able to figure out very quickly which one I am talking about.

Gyms as a whole don't meet all my typical criteria when looking for a place to warm-up with a porcelain squat, however, when your pre-workout kicks in you don't have a choice sometimes.  It definitely beats the alternative.  

As I am describing this place, please note that the word "gym" is used loosely.  Yes, they have decent exercise equipment, a pool, sauna, a full-size basketball court, racquetball courts, and a small rock wall but I would say the majority of the people who attend this "gym" go to hang out with their friends and drink spirits. Or they tell their wife that they're going to workout, hit a set of bench press, and then spend the rest of the time doing beer curls.  No judgments.  Just sayin'.

Review

The water closet is where you'd expect to find it at any health club; towards the back of the locker room.  I've been actively going to gyms for nearly a decade and have been in many men's locker rooms over the years.  They always have the occasional old guy walking around naked which is almost to almost be expected.  However, at this gym, there seems to be an abundance of naked older gentlemen walking around having full conversations with each other. 

Once you safely navigate through the dimly lit corridor, past all the lockers and old guys in their birthday suits, you will find a few stalls and a few urinals.  They are all kept very clean and are plentifully stocked with toilet paper.

The tp is the typical commercial kind you'd expect.  It's far from fancy but gets the job done.  And since this is a locker room, if the tp really isn't cutting it, you can always jump in the shower.  

As for the smell, it smells like every other guy's locker room across America.  It has the slight smell of body odor and deodorant.  It's not a bad smell but not a scent I'd buy in a Little Tree to hang from my rearview mirror.

The sinks have warm water, good pressure, and plenty of soap.  They are also kept very clean.  As mentioned before, I prefer paper towels over hand dryers so it's a huge plus for me that they have them.

My final thought is although this place doesn't meet Criteria #3 at all, there is something about knowing that we are all men in a testosterone filled environment actually makes it easier for me to release even though there are more people around then I would tend to prefer.  It's almost expected here verse other public places that give you the option but doesn't expect very many people to actually partake in the use of their facilities in this manner.

Overall I'd give it 4/5 rolls.  Would poop there again.
