holy moly.  we decided to join crce so we could swim in the winter and a few other things we can't do at our regular gym.  first of all, we forgot that times have changed so were totally shocked when we walked in the door.  this place looks like a health club in any major metropolitan city.  not the same scene we had on the same campus when we were students last in the early 90's.  the awesome indoor pool with giant waterslide, huge spa, and multiple seating areas with yet more spa-like bubbles was fun to see.  there are more cardio machines than you can imagine at least 4 gym areas for basketball, indoor soccer, irish dancing groups ( we observed this evening), a handfull of racketball courts, an elevated track, weights, and couches with wide screen TV's.  There are tons of windows everywhere so while you are working out you can stare off into the beautiful horizon...ok, maybe i'm going a little too far here.  but you can at least look outside.  it was a tad crowded at 10pm when we got there but we found out that if we work out early we'll likely have the place to ourselves...duh.
