text: I lift the weights and I put them down This review is only for the actual free weights gym area as I did not use any of the spa servicesnnOne of the better casino health clubs I have trained at The Spa at Ballys gym is loaded with free weights machines benches cardio and dumbbells It has one of the best selections of Icarian machines I have seen in a casino gym along with real steel free weight plates cable racks bars smith machine and a great selection of metal dumbbells up to pounds I hate those rubberized weights There is a nice cardio area off to the side with Cybex treadmills bikes and ellipticals A few flat screens hang from the ceilingnnThe facility itself is very clean and well maintained Even though the equipment might not be the newest it looks pretty current and nothing was broken or out of service The locker room is pretty sweet Really nice facilities with hot tubs saunas couches flat screen tv coffee and fruit Early in the morning there are not that many people up at that time so I basically had the gym to myselfnnThe hours of the gym are am pm so it is good for an early morning workout but I wished it stayed open later for those of us who are working a long show at the convention center and would like to get in a workout when returning back to the hotel Also you can buy a daily pass or a three day pass for which includes unlimited access and use of the spa If staying more than a few days it is worth it to get a multiple day pass to bring the rate down As with all casino health clubs it is not cheap but worth it for the quality of the equipment here and if you value staying on top of your fitness while away from homennIts not like going to your normal fully stocked gym where you have your membership at but it is more of a compact version and better than many of the casino or hotel gyms I have used
