For this fitness franchise, "Sport" in a facility's name usually implies a larger and more upscale site. Visitors to downtown Seattle's version can expect nicer locker rooms, a good lap pool and typical 24 Hour techno-industrial décor.
This club moved from Bellevue to Redmond and seemingly for the better. The updated Super Sport facility (50,000 square feet) has new machines and welcomes guests for $25/day. It's a bit steep, but worth the price of admission if you're looking for a full service gym with classes and a pool.
Out and back along scenic bay frontage, convenient to downtown.
* Start/Finish at Waterfront Park (Union St & Alaskan Way), most hotels are located within a mile of this point
* Follow Alaskan Way North along the water and enter Myrtle Edwards Park after about 1 mile
Red - Urban city streets route that starts at the Hyatt Regency, heads past Medina Park and ventures through Bill Gates' neighborhood. Orange - shorter jog around urban park's sidewalks.
This indoor facility is the least expensive swim venue in town ($7/day) and one of the few with a full 25-yard box. Six lanes mark the path to and fro and a separate hydro therapy/rehab pool keeps the non-swimmers outside the lapper.
The lap pool is the main draw here with four lanes of 25-yard swimming. Your swim space is marked with bottom stripes and floating lines, and backstroke flags are overhead as well.
Those looking for more jogging or cycling mileage must first endure a short drive (~10 to 15 mins.) to this gem of a spot.
The Burke-Gilman/Sammamish River Trail is approximately 27-mile paved path that follows an old railroad right of way around Lake Washington.
