I joined Capital Fitness for two reasons: \n1. it is right downtown and easy to walk to, \n2. They have personal TVs attached to many of the cardio machines, making working out fly by. \n\nOther than that, the locker rooms are always clean and empty, the staff is very friendly and helpful, there is free parking underneath the building, and it never seems packed or empty. \n\nAdditionally, you can pay month-to-month, which was unique to Cap Fitness when I researched a few places in January 2009.
