The place
Everything
on one lot
Yesh Fitness opened in 2021 as a weight room. The lot filled in around it. Today the same gate takes you to the gym floor, two pickleball courts, a basketball half court, Ka PaPio's Cafe and a row of rooms at PaPio's Nest.
Train in the morning, play when the heat drops, eat without going anywhere. If you are staying the week, you can sleep here too.

The gym
Room to actually train
The floor sits under a steel roof with the sides open, so the air keeps moving while you work. Racks and benches on one end, machines through the middle, cardio along the windows, and a matted zone for the rig and the bag.
There is no noon break. The floor stays open from six in the morning to eight at night, Monday to Saturday.
Free weights
Barbells, bumper plates and dumbbells up the rack, with benches and racks along the wall.
Machines
Plate-loaded and stack machines covering chest, back, shoulders, arms and legs.
Cardio
Treadmills, bikes and rowers lined up along the open side where the air moves.
Functional
A matted zone with a rig, kettlebells, medicine balls and a heavy bag for boxing work.
Rates
What it costs to train
