I love the Epic! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Joining there has really helped my mobility after my knee replacements. I went from a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, then walking, & now running in the pool. PTLI thank God for the Epic.

Your staff are yet ensuring a clean place to work out, with a smile. Texas charm and accommodating. Not a big turnover with staff and it was comforting to be greeted by the original staff during the COVID

Nice size of a trail to walk/bike. I like they have a restroom and water fountains. Wish the lights worked consistently at night and wished there were more trash bins especially by the police parking lot

The people at the front desk they don’t have too much information about the program at the recreation center, they told us something at the beginning and it came out to something else after we paid, that’s the reason I give them two star.

Massive. Great space for all kinds of recreation. Basketball, futsal, pickleball. Two indoor tracks, one of which is an inline track. Lap pool, jacuzzi. Wheelchair accessible everywhere. Wheelchair accessible workout equipment. Theatre room. Kids club for 13-17years old. Coffee and deli shop. Checkout books and DVDs. Great staff!!The waterpark is amazing! Small enough not to get lost bit big enough to have all day fun! Arcade and surfing. Full concessions and full bar. Cabanas, lazy river, amazing water slides. Party rooms with amazing view to the waterpark.

Due to the current situation they have changed things around a bit. No gym floor for basketball or volleyball and no access to the recording studio or radio room. The staff is very friendly and helpful during this tough time.

We went to the pool area by the gym for a birthday party and my kids did not want to leave! Lifeguards were very polite and there were people in the parking lot driving around to drop us off at the right place so we didnt have to walk. It was very warm, they have a kids splash area, slides, a pool with basketball hoops, a hot tub and a little lazy river. And i loved that there were so many family changing rooms with showers in them! Very convenient!

I enjoy going to The Epic to workout. Theres a good variety and quantity equipment. Plus the indoor split level track is great for walking and jogging. The staff is friendly. Ive signed up with a personal trainer and thats going great. I havent tried the pool or either of the courts yet, but the little cafe came in handy when I was short for time. I ate a tasty sandwich before leaving. Saving me a stop on my way home.

Had my daughters birthday party here and everything went so smoothly. Everyone had a great time. The rate was definitely within a good budget. The staff were all helpful and attentive to everyone in there not just for our party. Definitely would recommend this rec!

Come early if you plan to play basketball or soccer because those courts were packed. I feel it’s more for teenagers and adults, they do have a daycare for Babies and toddlers. They also have a little play area for children that are bigger. They have a swimming pool, a nice little workout area, and two levels upstairs for walking or running. The staff is nice and helpful and it was clean when we were there.Also, have a nice café in there as well.

Its pretty good place for kids and family, so 2 stars for that, but low standard and service. Their shower rooms have drainage issue where its water every where, and very low pressure in shower. Their family membership does not include parking, they only give one parking permit for $12 on top of family membership, so each family member with car will have to buy individual passes or live with sharing one pass. The gym is new but already tearing apart, roof leaking and they have buckets on the second floor collecting water from the roof. Gym is small so during rush hours its very hard to complete any work out.

Simply incredible! There is no place like this around! Wonderful staff and programs that will enrich your life. The building is state of the art and has everything you could want out of a recreation center including a recording studio and movie theater! Even if you arent looking for a membership please take the time to walk through this masterpiece and be amazed what the City of Grand Prairie has put together.

Review №24

Facility is well thought out and impressive. Would have liked the VIP parking to take advantage of the space better to provide closer parking considering that you pay extra. The pingpong table is unusually high quality but the raised epic logo, while stylish, ruins the flatness of the table. Still, a beautiful place for exercise and other activities. An affordable gift for the residents of Grand Prairie. I use it daily.

The Epic is epic! Such a unique place to get physically and mentally fit. There is something for everyone here. I will sometimes spend hours here at a time. All of the staff is super friendly, helpful, and genuinely care about your fitness goals. I will be a lifetime member!

Epic is a beautiful place. They have various gym equipment to use and you can even workout outside on the nice landscape. There is good amount of cardio machines. They have rooms for yoga, cycling and step class. There is also a basketball court. Its worth going to check out, walk around for a tour to see if you like it.However, there are things that I do not like about it. I would only recommend this gym if you have a family. Parents can bring their kids and have them wait in the play rooms or even go swimming. I believe a child who is 10+ can be left unattended (there are life guards in pool area) while the parents are working out. You can rent out the pool area (for a price) for birthday parties too so thats a nice option.Being an adult with no kids, I dont really enjoy working out here. There are SO many kids and teenagers around. I worked out at Planet Fitness before I joined this gym, and I have to say that PF is a lot more calming. Though there are a few things I dont like about that gym either, I just feel like Epic is a bit too crazy/hectic for me. So much going on, so many people everywhere. At PF, there are no kids since there is no babysitting service or playrooms, which I prefer. If I had a family, I would definitely bring my kids here though.If you care about your skin and know that the sun causes you to age faster, you may want to pack sunscreen in your gym bag. Yes, even though windows, the sun causes you to age! I would prefer the area where squat racks are have mirrors instead of windows.. so you can see if your form is good! There is not much mirror space downstairs! I asked the front desk workers if we could bring barbells/dumbbells up to the rooms to workout and he said yes, it is allowed when there are no classes going on. But it would be a hassle to carry equipment up and down the stairs. I dont think there are dumbbells in the rooms.. I wish there was so that I could workout in there instead! There are mirrors in the room.Another thing is that, they dont have a sauna or a steam room! They have both of these at 24 hour fitness and LA fitness if you see these as a necessity. I wish Epic had them.You have to pay extra for GroupFit classes, where as other gyms like 24 or LA, the classes are already included in the monthly price! Epic is pretty expensive!For such a big place, the gym floor really isnt that big. Its actually SMALL! So it gets super crowded. Around 5pm to 8pm there are lots of families. Overall, a nice place for families if you dont mind the crowds. But if youre a single person who is not taking kids to the gym, Id choose a diff gym!

Great place, plenty of equipment and room to work out and swim. Ball courts nice for the young groups to get their workout in as well. Havent been to the theater yet.

Review №32

If I can give zero star, I would. It is unacceptable that the EPIC rented out their only futsal court to a local soccer team to practice during the time slot which supposed to be the weekly open play (Wednesday night 7:30pm-9:45pm) for all members. Here I am with my two kids and several other kids just sit there without a clue until I asked the coach and he told us that he rented the court. I went to complain to the front desk and all they can tell me that the athletic director rented the court out and tell me to fill a suggestion form. There were no notes or prior notices to us. Very unprofessional and inconsiderate to members who went there for the open play. I guess they value money more than members. The facility is nice, but seems like customer service take a back seat to $$$.PS: Got email & phone calls from the athletic director apologized for the situation and promised that EPIC has changed the rent-out policy. Updated to 3 stars for the customer service efforts.

We went in for a self guided tour/explore (they do offer guided tours also) and the facility is not only beautiful but also incredibly well equipped, tons of things to participate in, lots of amenities that you wont find in any typical rec center. Staff was very kind and friendly and cant wait to get my membership.

I LOVE this place! Everything’s brand new so not a lot of people know about this gem yet. Be aware of the hours! I like to workout at 6:00am everyday but my routine is thrown off on Saturday and Sundays because they open so much later (11am ). They also close really early daily. The staff is super welcoming!Other than that this is a beautiful place. hope that they become 24 hours or if not have consistent hours.

This 120,000 square foot facility is a true gathering place for residents and visitors that enjoy the arts, performing arts, art classes, meeting rooms, a culinary kitchen and so much more. Courts for basketball, pickleball and more. The gym and outdoor exercise area overlook the grand lawn that will be used for outdoor concerts and events. There is also an indoor track and adventure track. Toddlers, kids and teens will have their own recreation areas while parents work out. The kids area is free for the first two hours. Membership fees range annually for a family of 5 - $699 and $499 if you live in Grand Prairie. Individual adult memberships annually are $499 and $299 for residents.

Beautifully designed and equipped. There is something for the entire family to do & the staff is super friendly. The addition of sunscreens would be nice to hide the sun while using the cardio machines. The kids play area is amazing. Its seems a bit small in size but it is interestingly designed. I do feel the membership fees are overpriced. I was shocked to learn I had to pay for a family membership for myself and my son and then pay an additional fee for him to attend the child care center. At the Ymca it was all inclusive. The facility is well lit outside so I feel safe walking to my car in the evening.

Review №50

The most frustrating thing for me is the fact that the babysitting hours are only Monday through Thursday and only during the day on Friday, with as many people who have kids, and as much as they charged for a membership, where should be childcare available Monday, through Sunday, during the day and at night, just like there is Monday through Thursday. Wish the work out area was a little bigger also when its crowded hard to use the machine you want/need to. Other than that its pretty nice.

Swimming class are the best!!!!I have a 3 year old and I have signed up my Toddler to swimming classes since he was 6months at Grand Prairie hs and safe splash. We would stop going because the water is COLD! He would just cry or wouldn’t want to get it.Since I’m a member at the epic I decided to try it out for $50.Well......we loved it! My son finally gets to enjoy his swimming class without the water being to cold.I also tried out CrossFit at the epic (been doing crossfit since 2014) but wasn’t impressed.I felt like it was more of a foundation class than anything. Everything was slow pace and I’m used to it being quick time, amap with loud music. Well it was none of that so I cancelled my husband and I upgrade.We just workout in the gym and do our own thing.It’s a nice place for teenagers and kids and that’s what I also love

Review №52

I want to love this place, but the unattended kids are a hassle when trying to work out. At certain times It can get really busy and overcrowded that makes the workout experience a tad bit frustrating. For anyone looking to avoid the crowd, I suggest working out in the morning!

Review №54

I was hoping for a better experience . Everything is new, but whoever designed this place with so many windows and no sun screens was not someone who works out and does cardio . It is 55 degrees outside, the air is on 71 inside and it is like a greenhouse effect . BTW, all the cardio machines are facing the huge windows . I think I I made a mistake joining . .Classes are extra and so far I have not seen too many people enrolled, so nocamaraderie . Not sure what the summer will be like. . Probably unbearable during the day
