The Building

Every room, and what each one is for.

401 W McDaniel St, Springfield, MO 65806. Walk it in person and the rest of this website stops mattering.

Arriving

401 West McDaniel.

Two blocks off Park Central Square, on the corner. Members come and go on their own key.

The glazed inner doors onto the main floor, seating beyond.

The hours after

Most of what happens here is not training.

The main floor, the long table, the simulator and the cigar room. This is the half people stay for.

The main floor lounge, leather chairs around a round oak table.
The communal table under exposed timber beams, a living wall behind it.
The golf simulator seen across the seating, the screen lit.
The golf simulator screen and hitting mat, straight on.
A club robe hanging on the back of a door.

Training

Cardio and strength, under the timber.

The equipment is the same everywhere. The room is not.

Rowing machines under the exposed timber beams, the long table beyond.
Studio bikes facing wall-mounted screens.
Air bikes and rowers in a row under the timber ceiling.

Recovery

Most people come back for this half.

Two saunas, a cold plunge and professional massage on site, and lockers that make a 6am visit as easy as a 10pm one.

The cedar sauna, benches on two levels, lit from the ceiling.
The glass fronted salt sauna with a leather chair beside it.
The cold plunge, water in a timber surround.
The timber cold plunge cabinet, close.
The massage room, table made up, shelving on the wall.
The locker corridor, benches down the center under timber.
Full height lockers, close, with the bench and the timber ceiling.

Come see it on a Tuesday.

Fifteen minutes, no pitch. See whether the room fits before anybody talks about a membership.
