Rock Creek Park and Recreation

I only go up here to run, but they seem to have a «full service» park — ball fields, a gym, etc. The running trail is well laid out, and flat, which is not usual for North Georgia.

This very tiny gym gets 5 stars from me because it costs $ 25 for your ENTIRE FAMILY to join for SIX MONTHS. No contract and no monthly payments. It is super small– 2 treadmills, an elliptical, a few weight machines, a mat, and a yoga ball. I’ve never had to wait to use anything. Sometimes I have seen a couple of other people in there. The hours are good too. They have a TV. This cost does not include the classes that are sometimes offered.
I have taken yoga classes with two different instructors and those have both been really great. My sister attends boot camp and it is also an amazing workout. The classes are usually cheaper if you pay for the whole month in advance. I think they run on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. So, they don’t offer classes like LA Fitness or anything with a rotation of constant classes based on varying interests. I think they also offer other classes though.
They have a great trail, and at the front of the park– like, it’s hard to know it is even attached– their is a pavilion and a place to put in a kayak. Me and the mister have painted in the little pavilion. You don’t have to pay to use the front part/​boat launch, or the outside trail– just the weight room and classes. Also has a play area.
