It’s 2014 and time to get in shape. Last night I felt like I needed an Elliptical and a hot tub. I knew just the place to go — The Buchanan Park Rec Center. I haven’t been there in several years. I had forgotten how nice it is. The work out equipment is top notch and they even have that stairclimber that’s grueling — my muscles ache today! They have plenty of treadmills, 4 Ellipticals, and plenty of bikes so there wasn’t even a wait for the machines. The rock climbing wall is really high– it’s 41 feet! After my work out I relaxed in the hot tub and met some new Evergreeners. We talked for awhile and then it was time to dry myself off in the sauna. The Spin Class was happening last night when we walked in — all bikes filled and music was pumping– they even had a belly dance class too. They even have happy hour rates from 3−6pm noon Wed, Fri, & Sun. for $ 3.50 in district and $ 4– out of district. Yep it’s January and time to work on my New Years Resolution of losing weight and getting in shape. If you set that goal this year– try the Evergreen Buchanan Park Rec Center. They offer all types of fitness classes and have muscle machines and weights to get you buff. The hot tub is a great place for all you day skiers that need to ease sore muscles. Kids will love the rec center too — they have two watersides and a vortex pool — a kind of lazy river.
