Shoreline Health & Fitness II

I have been a member of the gym for about a year and they are great. They have great hours and every type of gym equipment that you can think of. With a membership they give you a free meeting with a trainer, which is invaluable. Especially if you are new to the gym scene. They will instruct you on how to use each machine safely and properly. The treadmills and elliptical machines all have cable TV built right into them. An hour on the treadmill passes so quickly when you are watching your favortite shows. The locker rooms are clean, and the staff is knowledgable and nice. They even offer a daycare room to watch your little ones while you work out (but call ahead for hours since the daycare is not open during all gym hours). Conveneiently located in Porter Plaza off of Main Street in Old Saybrook (where the old movie theater used to be) - ample parking. A year long membership will run you about $45 a month (very comparable to other gyms in the area). more

Shoreline Fitness is located in the old movie theater, behind the CVS plaza on Main Street. It is a huge facility, with an extensive cardio platform (life cycle, elliptical, treadmills, rowers) that all have TV Screens so you can plug in your earphones and watch your own personal show. The floor also has a huge free weight section and a Nautilus type circuit. The classes include Cardio Pump, which is a combo of step and weight lifting, along with Yoga, Pilates and Step classes. The classes are awesome! You need to sign up in advance for the cardio pump, but the rest you can just join. They offer childcare every night for small fee. The fees are reasonable and the staff is helpful and friendly. Locker rooms have showers and you can bring your own locks. more
