Gyms
Defined Fitness
Several locations, plenty of elliptical machines, and a student discount help Burque feel like a Big City. According to Craigslist Missed Connections, travel no further than the San Mateo locker room to meet the man of your dreams, provided you are also a man.
Hot Yoga Downtown

NM Sports & Wellness
Eric didn’t want to join, but the staff thought they could “work around his financial difficulties.” Pricey, but not the most expensive, and you do get what you pay for: full squash/basket/racquetball courts, yoga and pilates classes, endless elliptical machines, and while a locker might not be, a towel’s always available. Still unconvinced?
The Sports Clubs
If you don’t use the pool, courts, steam room, etc., why pay for ’em? Ample bikes, machines, weights and mats, plus a sauna, for kicks. Started in Rio Rancho 25 years ago, this a far cry from the BofA of gyms, where it’s easy to anonymize in the expanse of muscle-buried ego.
