Ellipticals and treadmills feature innovative technology including personal televisions and iPod and iPhone charging stations. Personal training sessions and small group boot camp classes will also be offered.

Those interested in joining can sign up now in the presale office a few doors down from the location, or wait until the doors open Saturday at 9 a.m. to see Blink firsthand.

The gym will continue in preview mode until the facility's grand opening, which will come within the next few months, though a specific date has not yet been released.

Patch was given a sneak peek tour of the new facility earlier this week. Scroll through the gallery to get a glimpse of Blink.

I think Proposition 2 is a great idea, in the current structure you have to "call out" anRead More individual basically saying "I think you are doing a particularly bad job". Politics get dirty enough as is and I think this will increase participation and ultimately give us a better Board of Education.
