I'm not currently a member of any training facility, do I need to be a member of a facility to join your club and is there a particular facility that your club uses? Also, are there any discounts at training facilities for club members?

No. You do not need to be a member of a particular training facility to join the RTC. However, some of the structured workouts are performed at particular training facilities and to participate in them you will need to be a member of that facility

Currently our club members workout at many different training facilities, if you consult the Training section in the RTC Website, we have listed the some of the facilities that we recommend and our members use. We have our club meeting at the Tuckahoe YMCA (but you need not be a member of the YMCA to attend)

We do not currently have any arrangements with local facilities for discounted rates, however plan to investigate this in the future.
