NW Rec center is a staple of our community here in Rose Park. We appreciate the work out facility, sports opportunities for kids and the childcare program is great!

I love coming here for the gym, swimming, and the park that is behind the rec center! They have many activities that go one so go check out their events page through the website! They have log rolling, inflatable water rock climbing, and many other events and classes!

This is a great rec center in the Salt Lake area. They have the kiddie pool and the lap pool, a nice gym, basketball courts and a small indoor running track. The prices for membership or just day pass are affordable, even for families. The facility is ways clean and kept up. It is also in a quiet area and not generally very busy. This is also a great place for a swimming themed birthday party. You wont find a better deal for the number of people you can bring.

It can get a bit crowded but as far as staff and maintenance of facilities they do a good job. Being the only facility of its kind here on this part of the westside, I wonder if they get a fair share of resources.

I love this rec center. It’s new, clean, and has great amenities. The swim lessons for kids are the best. You can’t find a better deal and all the teachers are wonderful. A lot of the teacher are students from West High and the young kids adore them. I expect us to be coming back here for years.

The indoor pool is fun for my son but it gets boring and a bit crowded after awhile. Theyre open year round and you dont have to be a member to use their facilities. The only reason I didnt give it five stars is because the pool kinda of sucks.

Family pool is never open. Spent good money on a pass and never can swim, the hours change or the pool is closed for cleaning. Dont waste your money.

Finally they had hot water for showers, on 2.1.20, after almost two months of cold-ish, inconsistent showers. Im glad someone finally figured out what part needed to be replaced, and did so.....(lets hope it keeps working well) Otherwise, this is best pool and gym in town.

Seems like a nice rec center for the community. The pool is missing a hot tub, steam and sauna though.

This place is great! The staff is super friendly, the facility is extremely clean, the water was a great temperature and the lap lanes weren’t busy on a Saturday afternoon. I would highly recommend all Salt Lake county pools.

The Northwest Recreation Center is a beautiful facility. You can participate in many different sports, exercise and relaxation activities.You can practice your jump shot in the beautiful basketball gym, swim in the large pools, attend water aerobics classes, work out with a variety of fitness equipment, take a yoga class, run on the indoor track, and so much more.Children love the large family swimming pool with its various water features. Several activities are geared toward seniors. There is something for every age group and ability level.

I would give five stars but they are not open until 6 and have limited hours on the weekends. I enjoy working out and our membership has encouraged me to swim for exercise as well. The staff is all pretty friendly and the classes are included with membership. I wish they had a steam room and provided towels, otherwise a great community center.

Review №39

As an overall rec it’s pool and basketball courts are great for family fun. The gym is hardly a gym and is often too busy to use the machines you want. It’s worth the price to go somewhere else. However as an employee this is one of the worst place to work. There are no benefits. They treat you like trash and add on loads to your responsibilities that absolutely aren’t yours. The manager are against you and actively find reasons to yell at you. They mess up scheduling and understaff when you need staff the most especially in the pool. This is a terrible work environment and I don’t recommend working here ever. As for activities they’re poorly planned and chaotic because managers aren’t remotely “present” for their jobs and halfway try on everything. Super chaotic.

Just signed up, the facilities look amazing and clean, the lady at the front desk was super nice. Update: have been going here for months. I mostly use the treadmills, indoor track, and day care for my kid. No complaints, it’s a great rec center! The kids pool I have used a handful of times and it’s lovely

I mainly use the weight room there. They have a good dumbbell set, an array of machines, benches, and the facility is always clean. A couple things the weight room could use is a place to do dead lifts, and a squat rack. They have a smith machine but thats no replacement for a squat rack. Overall happy with the place and would recommend to anyone looking for an affordable gym.

Love the pool, which is always very clean and has plenty of slides, water canons and a lazy river. Great for all ages. Water is pleasantly warm. The rest of the facility is really nice, too. Their ski lessons for kids after school are amazing !

The pool is great for kids. Daycare is great and not too expensive. The equipment is nice in the gym. It meets all of my needs. I just wish it had a hot tub!

Ja
Review №50

It’s mostly a place where kids of all ages go in lieu of their parents hiring a babysitter. in the evenings there are 10 kids playing on every single hoop without a parent in sight. for some reason the pool used to close an hour before the facility. soda and candy wrappers litter the gym. if you want to use a drinking fountain when you’re in the pool you have no choice but go out to the foyer, cold and dripping, then loop back thru the locker room cuz door locks behind you.as a gym it’s not inexpensive. but if you want to send your kids here instead of daycare, it’s priced well.

Holy moley, this is a fine gym! Ive been in their pool, warm enough to get right in. There was a class in the adult pool, so I risked it with the kiddie pool. I know what youre thinking, (I was thinking it too), but I tried not to forget how many times I peed in pools when I was a kid and pretend these kids had better moral fiber. Glad I did, theres a track with a strong current, so you can give yourself a workout walking against the current, or float with it.The reason I was in the pool was my knees. They were too creaky that day, so I made a point of trying put the pool. Usually I walk the track, work out on the equipment, or join one of the classes. I have a friend who takes the water aerobics class, and she loves it. Not sure if that cost extra, but the dry-land aerobics classes are free.

Review №58

Northwest Rec Center is super clean, super friendly, and well equipped. The leisure pool is great with a nice long lazy river and fun water features. The exercise instructors are knowledgeable and approachable. Personal Training is top notch, and they have a great class called shape up that is a sort of group personal training. It costs extra ($55 for 5 weeks-two classes a week plus online nutrional guidance) but is so worth it.

They should expand the workout space to put in more workout equipment. Too crowded all the time

Crown Jewel of the neighborhood. Well maintained, and even better ran. Staff is friendly and helpful. Truly a Community Center also both for the Seniors at Rivers End and the young folks.

Nice place but too many people there using the tredmills spray the disinfectant excessively causing others to choke from the strong fumes while theyre running. Ventilation may not be too great. If you go at non-peak times, its perfect.

Mid day swims are amazing. The pool has up to six (?) Lanes so there is minimal circle swimming if ever. The basket ball gym has two courts with an indoor track on the second level. The track is accessible through the upper level fitness gym. The gym has free weights and weight machines as well as cardio optuons.

Review №73

Clean and well maintained. It gets busy right after school and in the morning. I love the lap pool and the weight and cardio area. The track is cool too. Plus, there is a waterslide, in case you are a big child (like me) and want to play.
