I%26#39;ve had a lot of people tell me after their trips that they were here over an extended week or weekend and (they%26#39;re avid fitness freaks like me) couldn%26#39;t find a place to work out. The best place to work out in Duluth is hard to find, but it%26#39;s right at 402 E 2nd St, the SMDC Fitness %26amp; Therapy Center (duluthclinic.org/otherspecialties/fitnessthe…). Their number is 218-786-5400.
They%26#39;re open nice and early on the weekends (7 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday; and on the weekdays they are open at 5:30 a.m.). They have a group fitness studio that overlooks downtown, Lake Superior and the Aerial Lift Bridge. A guest pass, last time I checked is about 5-6 bucks. They also have a nice lap pool and the only warm water therapy pool north of Minneapolis which is used for arthritis exercise and physical therpay but is %26#39;open swim%26#39; all weekend.
There is also the Duluth YMCA (302 W 1st St) which has extended their hours as well (www.duluthymca.org) but that changes around Memorial Day so check their website or give them a call before stopping by - if you have a Y membership anywhere else it should be accepted here. Their number is 218-722-4745 and they have some great classes as well plus the new Nautilus equipment. The Duluth YMCA is particulalry known for their Spin classes with the newest spin bikes.
Note that the Y (obviously) allows kids; the SMDC Fitness and Therapy Center is 16+.
I love the Lakewalk and the trails that Duluth has to offer, but I need a real workout at a gym to start the day. If you%26#39;re like me, hopefully this helps you out!
