+ Cathedral of Fitness

I recently did some shopping around for a new gym. As a year round competitive cyclist the wear & tear on the body finally took its toll & I ended up with a back injury. While I had to stay off the bike for a few weeks, the doc said I could swim and use those elliptical trainers. It was then that I went shopping around for a new gym.

I visited at least 3 other facilities before I decided on this beauty of space. A lot of the local gyms were somewhat disappointing. A majority were poorly renovated and dimly lit. I finally found this gem at my alma mater, the University of Cincinnati. (It was designed by Thomas Mayne/Morphosis & KZF Cincinnati.) While it is hardly "brand new" since it was completed in 2005 I urge everyone to visit it and explore a truly inspiring space for fitness.
