I realized at the last second that I hadn't set up a remote location to train while I was on vacation over Thanksgiving break. In a panic, I checked the USAW website for gyms in Santa Fe, NM, and emailed the two I found, asking if they allowed drop-ins for Olympic lifting and what it would entail. Longevity responded to my email within the hour, welcoming me to join them at their gym. This was a RARE treat. Often times, when I go out of town, especially to a popular tourist destination, it can be a huge pain trying to find a location that will let me drop in during any open hours (let alone during the holidays) to get on a platform and get through my programming. They had a more than reasonable drop-in fee ($10), and welcomed me with smiles when I walked in the door. I spent a little over two hours in their facility, and not once did I feel unwelcome or out of place. Everyone was very kind and I had plenty of space and equipment to complete snatches, clean&jerks, weighted walking lunges, and much more. I would HIGHLY recommend their gym to locals and visitors alike.
