I wanted to lift weights to get into tip-top shape for the many marathons that I run in. I have to admit that I was initially scared that I would "bulk up," but I didn't. Mike Volksdorf is my trainer, and not only does he push me, he motivates and holds me accountable as well as helps me with my eating habits and keeps me on track. Because of the weight training three days a week, I have NEVER once been sore after an 18 or 20 mile run, nor have I EVER been sore after a marathon! This was not the case a few years ago when I ran my first marathon and did not lift weights; I was sore and couldn't walk for days.
My body shape has changed, I can see definition in my muscles and lunges really do work to make your butt look better!
Mike, his wife Dawn and the rest of the trainers are top-notch. I highly recommend them to anyone who is serious about getting into the best shape of their lives!

The Patti Johnson Wilson YWCA combines a gym and pool with kids and women's programs that benifit the Tulsa area.
Their pool is second to none. Their workout center is smaller than some competing gyms, but has plenty of aerobic machines (eliptical trainers, etc). Just a little light on weight equipment.
It's open to men or women, but seems to cater to women. One purpose of some of the kids activities is to encourage the mothers to workout while the kids are there... it's not all-day daycare, but you can coordinate your workouts for when your kids have activities.
Best of all, you CAN do a month-to-month membership here... so if you don't know if you're going to stick to your excersize regimen or not, this is the place to join!

This is a basic gym. No frills. They have a no-contract membership and also contract-based ones. The hours might be limiting but it will fulfill your needs. It's not glamorous or anything. It used to be called East Side Gym and I believe still hold some power lifting events. The crowd is mainly male 30s and 40s.

If you're looking for a place to work out, there are other gyms. This is the only YMCA with Residencey in Tulsa... unfortunately, that means that it doesn't always attract the most desirable people.
I certainally wouldn't use the showers... they're disgusting. Although the equipment is kept in fairly good working order.
If you're looking for a downtown gym, try the Powerhouse gym. It's newer, cleaner, and closer to most office buildings.
