looking for a gym - DML - 07-04-2010
Hi there! I am new to this site and recently new to GTO. My family and I have moved here for a year.
I am looking for a gym to join...I am going to check out Underfit and I found a place called Go Fitness Center (on Calle Prolongacion Alfredo Duges 8, Col Cervera, which is right behind the Univ Santa Fe...which I have no idea where it is).
Can anyone here make any recommendations? I am also a certified personal trainer. Not sure if I could work here or not at a gym. If anyone knows anything about that I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

Its 'out-of-town' but from the looks of its slick website might be worth checking out.
http://www.gofitnesscenter.com.mx
There are no other pages to this website other than what you see - you just click around the carousel.
To get there - head out on the road toward San Miguel. At the edge of town is a glorieta - Go RIGHT toward Puentecillas and the jail. A mile and a half down on the right there is a good sized road* and there should be a sign for the Universida de Santa Fe which will be on the right about a mile or so down that road.
* you've gone too far if you see the SEG [State Education Dept] on the left

Thanks for the info Mr. Bill! I think that may be too out of town for me but it is good to know it is there.

Hi,
Also going towards La Valenciana, there is a huge Sports Center run by the city (I believe) that has two or three olympic swimming pools, a gym and other very interesting things. It is fairly inexpensive to join. You might want to check it out. To work here you need special documentation, I will respond to your private message separately and a little later.

The Macro Centro Deportivo y Centro Acu?tico are run by CEDAJ which is a state organization. There is one Olympic 25x50m pool and one diving pool which is currently not in service - there is something wrong with the diving tower so they have a floating barge in the pool [didn't remove the water] from which they are making some serious repairs.
Here's a link to a recent story about the center from el Correo del Bajio

Before going to join save yourself a trip back to fetch what you need by reviewing the requistos here:

Rosamarta,
Thank you so much for your detailed information. I did not have one handy and now we all do. I really appreciate your effort.

There is huge Sport's center on the hill up to Valenciana, on the the Dolores Hidalgo Hwy. It's cheap and beautiful, and has everything one could need, including a huge pool.
