Is This Your Business?
 

Nice, big old building used to be a bank, and was later a terrific health club called the Vault. It went steadily downhill until Pure Fitness bought it up in 2003, and then got even worse. As a gym, this place is well-equipped but poorly serviced, but the locker room has been a terrific play area for years and that hasn't changed much. This can be an even better spot if guys use it wisely and don't mess it up for everyone. You can get into major group JO sessions, one-on-one and lots of , but be aware of the straights and don't give them a reason to complain to management.
