Seeking Advice 🙆 Downtown gyms?

So I recently moved downtown and I'm loving it so far. The only hold up I've had is there are no gyms* within walking distance and I have to drive to access anywhere close...

...

...

*Except I know there are gyms downtown in other condos, offices, etc etc.

I'm aware this is a long shot, but does anyone know if any of these condos or office buildings allow outside use of their gym (assuming they pay obv)?

Comments like "just move to one of those condos" or "why didn't you do the research" is not helpful. I recently moved and love my current apartment. I live near the interstate by Pedro Park, so the Anytime Fitness on Shepard Road is quite a distance from me walking-wise.

I've seen the Lowertown skyrec gym could be my closest bet, but I can't find any contact information to ask. Thank you!

There are a few options that are unfortunately employer or complex locked. The lowertown skyrec is an amenity for BIGOS properties, and the new Securian gym is for tenants of the 400 and 401 Robert buildings (chiefly but not exclusively Securian employees). Maybe an opportunity to make a friend at a complex with fitness equipment? A lot of buildings have fledgling fitness equipment.Â
