Has anyone been to the Fitness Center at CR recently? Can you access it with a room key 24 hours?
Thanks for any help!

the guy at the desk here - says if you can't get in at night - just call security.

he says that the BLT key should work.

this place is TINY. like VWL better.

Thanks! I love the VWL fitness center! I guess we will be a bit disappointed by the Olympiad...

The VWL and Contemporary gyms are very similar. I think they're probably about the same amount of square feet. The only difference is the Contemporary has a lower ceiling height which makes it feel a little smaller.

not to mention no windows and they use mirrors to make it appear bigger.

it is on the 3rd floor - elevator access only - you can't take the escaltor to it.

On our last visit to BLT, my wife joked that she had to tilt her head while running on the treadmill, cause if she didnt she would hit her head on the roof!

Didn't this facility receive a remodel recently? I hope so. I was there in October and it was uninspiring.
I prefer my fitness walks but the path was not complete yet.

I have not yet visited that fitness centre. Is there any speciality in that ? I do not know how to approach the CR fitness centre. Can any one suggest me the way??
