Always good to get back into a routine. Much has changed but still a good thing to get moving. Personnel always friendly. Different now w/less people.

The facility is clean and well-maintained by plenty of staff - who are friendly and willing to assist you if you need it. Theyre doing a great job making sure the community still has a place to work out, even under the extenuating circumstances caused by the pandemic.

Love it here. I come for my physical therapy now. I love how they have different areas and pools for everyone. My son loves the whirl pool and slide. I love the lap pool.

This place has nice equipment and facilities. The place has huge industrial sized fans that blow in your face. All due to the fact that a few elderly people didnt want to sweat. HELLO....ITS A GYM!!!When myself and other patrons complained of this, the condescending director acted like he could care less and advised its not going to change. Studies have shown that having this much air being blown in your face during a workout is bad.Members of staff have said that this is a huge complaint and that the director is not a very nice guy. When asked and confronted about this issue, he advised I can cancel my membership and go elsewhere. This guy does not need to be in that position, but rather scrubbing toilets.If you like to sweat and freeze at the same time, go there. If you like to walk at a snails pace on a treadmill and refuse to sweat, go here.

Our rec is one of the best ones I’ve been to, we only go for swimming with our kids to let off some pent up energy but there are plenty of other fantastic things to do workout wise. The staff is friendly and helpful it’s just a great place to check out!

I just wanted to speak out that I am canceling a 2 year membership going to a new gym.. the main reason is the staff is always angry/unhappy I do not recommend this place because the staff is lazy mainly the front desk people...

The rec center is a great self-care place. It has everything you need. New equipment, no wait lines. Group classes. Childcare room, that kids want to be in. Hot tub and lap pool. Heated pool with a big slide. Sauna in the locker rooms.(no coed). Walking or running track upstairs. They have fun events like Dive In movies. You can pay by the month, or get a guest pass of 5 visits for $25 or 10 for $50. If you decide to join( within 2 months) the guest pass gets credited to your membership!!

First rate city rec center. Nice facilities. Clean & well maintained. Pleasant helpful staff. Lots of parking. Popular venue, can be quite busy if not congested during peak hours. Personal trainer services and group classes available at extra cost, must be scheduled thru front desk.

I have been going here specifically for swim lessons for my daughters. Ive only had 1 poor experience with a teacher in 4 years. If youre able to take lessons with Miss Karen, she is amazing!

Our realestate taxes were raised to build this for a private company to charge us $400+/year to use. The hot tub is filthy with 3 inches of scum floating on top. Scam.

Great place to go for family. We enjoyed our time spent there at a birthday party for my daughters friend. Everyone was super helpful and my daughter had a great time. Only thing I would recommend is having a bathroom separate from the locker rooms attached to the pool area. they have a lot of amenities that can be helpful to many different types of people depending on what youre looking for.

This place has everything you need to get into shape and feel better no matter what your age or your size or anything else. And they have such a large selection that I go there to work out and I never get bored. And a pool is awesome

This is a great facility, but equally important is the quality of the staff. Jessica Hine, trainer for several Silver Sneakers exercise classes and yoga classes, is absolutely superb!I self pay, since my insurance does not cover Silver Sneakers classes, and it is so worth it because of Jessica. She is the best, balancing a great work out with safety and care.Pat Nobili

I mainly go to swim. It is fantastic! Friendly lifeguards & good rotation of swimmers. Plenty to do overall at the rec center including weights, cardio, walking / running, classes for health and wellness, learn to swim, and on it goes. Try it out; very affordable also.

The parking is ample with numerous handicap parking close to the building. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the activities. The facility is very clean from the workout equipment to the pool to the locker room and showers. They offer many activities for 50+ (silver sneakers) all the way down to 3 yrs old. The child care (Rascal room)facility is very clean and the staff is the BEST.

Excellent pools clean all life guards are vigilant and courteous well all but one there is always one who has whistle power blew his lil whistle because my son hugged me

Review №34

The facility is really nice, but I haven’t been back in quite some time because people aren’t very respectful of others while using the indoor track. Walking in the running lanes instead of using them just to pass slower walkers, walking in groups of three or more that take up almost the entire width of all four lanes, and having small children running around it erratically are all factors that can make jogging there both unpleasant and unsafe. If they’d do something about this, I’d definitely raise the rating. I miss working out here, but the track was the biggest draw for me, since there are so few places with indoor tracks in the area; without feeling comfortable there, I don’t feel compelled to go back very often, though I might try it again soon to see if anything has improved.

Excellent family value. The facilities are always clean, the equipment is always in great shape and the other members are friendly. We have been members here for over 5 years now and will continue to renew as long as it remains managed this well. The pool is great for families especially on those crummy winter days!

Plenty of activities at facility. Can run track upstairs. Both a recreation pool and competitive pool. The recreational pool has walk up entry for all ages. Also has waterside. Gymnasium has many basketball hoops. Enough area to convert and have volleyball and other activities. Workout equipment too, cardio and weightlifting.

I took the kids to use the pool, $7.00 for individual visit. Theres a waterslide open on the weekends. The pool area and pool are heated, so its a great way to beat the cold. Nice indoor track, gym and workout areas.

The Medina Rec Center has a great gym, but I havent tried the pool yet. Most of the equipment is kept in good repair, and the staff is friendly and helpful. They have plenty of treadmills and ellipticals and a wide variety of weight machines, free weights, and other equipment. The track is rather small, but thats not unusual for an indoor track.The only problem of which Im aware is cold showers in the womens locker room. I dont mind them that much, but lots of ladies complain about it. Not sure what the problem is, but I hope they get it figured out.

Our family loves this place for the pool, track, equipment, and classes for adults. The kids swim lessons are extremely hard to get into and they want your child to pass every single before moving to the next class which makes swim lessons difficult. This is the one thing I dont enjoy.

Review №65

Unprofessional staff. More interested in drama and looking for little things to complain about then watching for actual safety issues, drowning kids or even in making sure their members are enjoying the pool. My son who was 10 at the time was in the ankle deep area w a life jacket because he is particularly nervous and doesnt want anyone near him. He stayed in the ankle deep area for 2 years and thats just my son. The staff was upset we werent arms length away from him. I pointed out the rule board that had that rule listed as kids 7 and under (indoor pool rule) and that he was 10 and stays in ankle deep water. From that point on everytime we came the gaurds would gather when we gor there, stare, laugh and give us dirty looks. Very unprofessional. We havent been back to the indoor pool since and do not plan on ever coming back. We chose the outdoor pool at the park instead. Unfortunately they are run by the same management so ran into very similar issues w rude unprofessional staff.

Love the combinations possible at MCRC. I work out in the gym/weight rooms for an hour then hit the pool for an hour and top off the morning with either a Yoga or Classic Silver Sneakers class. Being 70 years old it is fantastic to find a place that challenges me and provides numerous opportunities for personal success in my health goals.Great coaches and super caring staff.Thanks MCRC!
