Subject: RE: Colorado Springs: Need advice on where to swim laps Hi - check out 24 Hr Fitness - a friend told me they are free right now to everyone, until Christmas. Don't know if there's a catch but I was under the impression that there is not. There is one at Austin Bluffs/Academy - just about 3 miles from Cottonwood Creek.
The Y's pools seem to almost always be packed - one of the reasons I switched from them to another club and have maintained my 24 Hr Fitness one (Got a really good deal on it, but not going there much right now )
For running - also about 3 miles away - there is Palmer Park - good variety of dirt road, road, great 'real' trails, and some really tame ones, all in the middle of town. (Corner Union/Austin Bluffs, on the map )
But for easy navigation try the Santa Fe trail - goes N/S for miles and miles - a bit boring but a very popular place to run and bike. |
