Preface: Detailed review
The Club was an absolute lifesaver. Being on vacation and still trying to achieve fitness goals is oftentimes extremely tricky, especially when it’s in a more remote location. I usually use Planet Fitness for their 24hr gym policy so I was worried about finding anything remotely close to that here in Crescent City.
I found The Club through a quick google search, called the front desk for info, and signed up in-person to get my key fob in 5 minutes for my 3 day stay. $10/day for a 24hr gym, to me, is no trouble. Spending the $30 for my short time here in Crescent City was so worth it for the variety of weight machines, cardio equipment, and free weights. They have 2 bathrooms and even had microfiber towels to wipe down equipment which made my eco-friendly self extremely happy (no one-time use paper towels). I can’t say for the rest of the day but the 5am-7am crowd was very respectful and focused (no slamming weights or weird dirty looks).
I was able to find everything I possibly needed at this gym and it was such a relief to me. Clean, spacious, well-equipped, and honestly just what I needed. It was one thing I didn’t have to worry about while on my vacation.
If I had to critique anything, it would be merely minor aspects. I would’ve loved to see more lockers with holes for locks to store my items and some sort of music playing throughout. I was lucky that at 5am, the one locker with a hole that I could put my lock through, was available each time I went (not to say this is a bad area, I just like to be safe with storing my belongings). As far as music goes, just make sure to bring your headphones unless you want to hear mostly silence, if that’s fine with you, no worries then! Again, very small and minute critiques.
So grateful this gym is here in small Crescent City and that it offered literally EVERYTHING I could’ve asked for when it comes to a short-term vacation gym! Exceeded all expectations 🙂
