Ranked by number of members at each location. 1. Members at the Jones Y may use the facilities at the Ward Y, but members of the Ward Y may only use the Jones Y during off-peak hours. The above list does not include personal trainers, as they may appear on a separate list in 1999. This list includes area health and fitness clubs open to the public after payment of membership fees. Some institutions may have been omitted due to lack of information, space and deadline restrictions. Information was provided by club representatives. [[In-content Ad]]
