Baylor Tom Landry Center

Disclosure: I have visited Baylor Tom Landry Center 30+ times.
Baylor Tom Landry Center is a full fitness facility that offers weight, cardio, indoor track, classes, and multiple pools. It also hosts Baylor’s rehabilitation offices.
Overall Rating — 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Facility, Return)
Atmosphere — Located near big Baylor hospital, you’ll find the Tom Landry center. It’s away from downtown, so don’t expect traffic on the relatively quiet streets. It has a clean lobby with a sitting area along with underground parking (great against Texas Heat). 1 Star.
Service — The Tom Landry Fitness folks are professional and helpful. They will provide temporary keys for lockers, and there are always clean towels available. Now, instructor for classes may vary. Some are the boot camp type, others offer more constructive feedback. YMMV here just like any other fitness club. 1 Star.
Facility — The equipment is up to date, the track on the second floor offers a nice view and has a slight incline. And it’s rarely crowded. The competition pool has diving stands and is made for racing. Inside the locker rooms you’ll find nicely appointed wood lockers, fresh towels, combs, brushes, hair dryers, and chairs. The lounge area is great. Comfortable couches and a TV. It feels like a hotel spa until you get to the showers. Then it’s your average facility. There’s also no sports court, so that’s a compromise. 1 ½ Star.
Will I Return? — Yes and No. I’m only using the Baylor rehab facility until my physical training is incomplete. Since I don’t live close enough I won’t return upon my completion. However, if you live in the area, then Tom Landry Center is an excellent choice for your fitness needs. ½ Star.
My Unilocal Rating Scale (Sum of all parts):
1 Star — Atmosphere — Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I’ll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm.
1 Star — Service — You can have a great meal with bad service. But that’s also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It’s important to the dining experience that service is great and on point.
2 Stars — Facility — I’ll award up to two stars for the facility, since this is the main reason we go out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it’s really all about the facility.
1 Star — Will I come back? — If I know for a fact I’ll return, I’ll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return.
Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Unilocal score.
