July 22nd, 2008
| I was disappointed to find out the Gym at the YMCA closes at around 5pm. Since that is what time I get off work, It would be great to have a community gym, that LQ residents could use for a small fee. Like the country clubs have. I know there is the outdoor equipment at the park, but in the heat of summer it’s not very fun, plus the machines offer little resistance. Just wanted to see what people think of it. |

I don’t know of a YMCA gym in LQ. Are you referring to the gym at the Boys and Girls Club on Avenue 50? I thought it was open till ten p.m., but am checking with City Hall staffers. Possibly they have summer hours that prempt the adult progrms. Maybe other readers know of an evening gym for you… Someone will get back to you…..

La Quinta has a gym called La Quinta Fitness Center.
How about a little initiative before venting your disappointment?
Here’s a link and an excerpt.

The 800 square foot complex marks the completion of the health and fitness addition to the La Quinta Boys and Girls Club. The new facility houses state of the art cardio, and resistance training equipment such as treadmills, elliptical machines, standard and recumbent exercise bikes, and a multi-station weight machine.
The Fitness Center is open to all Coachella Valley residents. One year memberships are available at the Community Services Department inside the La Quinta Civic Center ($15 for La Quinta residents; $35 for non-residents).
The center is located at 49-995 Park Avenue adjacent to the La Quinta Boys and Girls Club Gymnasium.

Is this the solution? This is the B&G Club site I thought was up and running. Looks like it still is ready till 10:00 p.m. Weight room and gym for basketball, I think. Good luck, Looking….

The Boys & Girls Club on Park is the site where the new fitness center is open in the evenings. The newly remodeled center is open at 6PM ti the public and the Gym is open at either 6 or 7. The City Community Service Department runs the after hours operations at the B&G Club. This is a collaboration of the Gerald R. Ford B&G Club in La Quinta and the City of La Quinta. You can get more information at the city’s website listed above. Hope you enjoy the facilities.
