Center City’s best fitness and health complex just so happens to be inside a historic hotel. The downtown complex within The Bellevue underwent a huge overhaul last year.The club is swagged out with a massive fitness floor, including an impressive 25-meter competition-level lap pool that is easily the best around. Fully fitted with fins, kickboards, pull-buoys, and a pace clock that sit on the deck of this beauty. The 4-lane pool contains floating lines and bottom stripes. A Masters program is even available from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. but you should call ahead. Given the fully stocked plush locker rooms and spa services, one could easily stay there all day. Only Bellevue Hotel guests get the freebie, for all others there are memberships and day passes available.
