Hi everyone,

I’ll be visiting Santa Clara from Korea for a short business trip from May 20 to May 24. I’ll be staying near Lakeside Dr / Great America Pkwy.

I’m currently preparing for a bodybuilding competition in Korea, so I really need to get in a proper workout while I’m there. I’m looking for a gym nearby that has good free weights and machines, and offers a one-day pass or drop-in option.

I’m not familiar with how gym day passes work in the U.S. Do I need to book in advance, call the gym, or can I just walk in and pay?

I’ve seen places like American Barbell, Central Strength, and 24 Hour Fitness nearby, but I’m not sure which one is easiest for a visitor.

Any recommendations or tips would be really appreciated. Thank you!
