My wife and I have gone here for two years without complaint. The staff has been incredible...but, COVID hits. The gym was shut down and equipment separated. The equipment my wife and I used regularly, due to its low impact, has been taken out of service. Hoping restrictions would ease we simply did not attend. With restrictions having no foreseeable end, I asked Brooklyn Harmon if there was a refund or something the fitness center could offer. She dismissed me with a simple No.This type of customer service is less than expected and I will not be a customer again.

Wonderful facility. They have gone above and beyond to keep everyone safe in this hard time. Following the guidelines so they can stay open, and adjusting as much as they can to keep doing things.They do require masks for patrons to wear into the facility, but have the machines separated out so that once youre working out you can take off the masks.The front desk has thick plexiglass to protect the staff and patrons, that is cleaned regularly. It does make it hard to hear them and they struggle to hear us as we come in, but theyre still nice about it. You do have to check in with them instead of just being able to walk in.Even with all the restrictions, theyve done a wonderful job keeping the place clean. I see custodial staff members all the time cleaning and there is always someone around when I have a question.

This place offers a competitive gym membership with childcare included. The edutainment center is amazing my two kids loved it! The inside of the hamster run (those tubes the kids can crawl around in) could use some TLC as there were punching-bag type obstacles that were synthetic leather and they were cracked, sometimes split and you could see the inner stuffing. Additionally there is quite the accumulation of dirt inside the tubes which makes me wonder how often and how thoroughly they are cleaned. STILL, the play store, the interactive projector game, the blocks, the rest of it is great!The gym itself is respectably clean with sanitizing stations practically every 10 feet. The staff is helpful, and the group classes are AMAZING. I have never been so happy to be so sore, and even the class peers are wonderfully welcoming. Cant wait to go back to classes once were in the green zone!

Our family loves coming here. The childrens play area is wonderful. The staff is helpful. Its great. The water slide is super fast! It also has a nice gym area and kids play area. The bottom of the pool is kind of deteriorating, so weve received some scrapes if were not careful. Also some of the family changing rooms showers are kind of messed up (hot and cold water switches randomly.) Once they fix that, 5 stars!

I go here almost daily. I use the fitness classes, cardio equipment, track, weight room, and pool area. My daughter uses the gymnasium to practice volleyball.Theyve updated a lot of their equipment. I like it. The classes I go to are awesome. I take an aerobics class and a yoga class.There is new equipment in the weight room. I like it.I have no issues with the locker room. It smells like a locker room, not roses. I have had a membership since 2011 and have yet to have anything missing or stolen. So I have no clue what the prior post is about. Whatever.The pool is small. There is one slide. i am not in it for the pool anyway so I dont care. I love love love the fact they dont allow kids in the hot tub. There is nothing more annoying then having hot water splashed in my face (and yes I have kids). Kids can play and splash in the pools. They dont need to be in the hot tub at all.All in all, I like it here as long as it isnt Saturday. I refuse to go on a Saturday afternoon. It is so crowded I can hardly walk in there. Just way too many people for me.

Review №27

They dont post the rules, So if you have a little zipper on your swim trunks they dont let you go down the slide. They were rude about it, instead of just explaining it nicely. They dont let kids into the hot tub even if they have an adult. If you need to run out to your car you have to pay to get back in. How hard is it to invest in a stamp and to post expectations on the website so when you travel 30 minutes to swim you make sure you have everything you need. Bathrooms and locker rooms are filthy.

Itty bitty ball was a great way to help kids with the basic of their basketball fundamentals. Its coached by the parents Soo there wasnt much expected from the coaching but I believe as the kids get older this will help with their confidence and such

Nice big family rec center! some of their equipment is a little outdated and the building could use some updating but it definitely has everything you need to get a good workout in. prices are incredibly Fair especially for West Valley residents who are looking to start a family membership. Staff is also super friendly and cheerful when helping. its also a huge facility so you always feel like you have somewhere to go without getting overcrowded

Ever since that I have met my new pre-comp swimming teams coach, Kelli, I have fallen in love with swimming (but, um, lets hope that when I fall, that I dont fall into the pool, because a belly-flop in the water would hurt! Ouch!)! But here, for years of swimming, I have never met such a dedicated coach in my life. Kelli is the most kind and considerate coach that I have ever received. I am very lucky to have her, for unlike others, she teaches from her heart and actually aims strongly for our improvement. Unlike many others, Kelli personally jumps into the water to give demonstrations to us, instead of giving us the usual treatment that we receive, where normal teachers just stand on the sidelines and only shout orders at us. My mother admires that she has never seen such a dedicated teacher before, and even learns from every lesson that I personally get. I have been in pre-comp swimming for almost five years, and only this year, has such a dedicated teacher come along to send our skills sky-rocketing. She has taught us to do the Butterfly this year, and how to aim for greater speed, along with tips on how to improve our speed and save some energy. Kelli is very trusted by a challengingly large class this year, as she knows what she is doing. We are VERY lucky to have her!

I have been going here for 4 years. Not a month goes by that someone in the locker room isnt complaining about theft. One day there were 3 different people complaining about someone stealing from them. This is a classic example of our tax dollars creating a breeding ground for crime.For the past two years my daughter has been swimming in the pool with a mermaid tail. We have never seen anyone else with a mermaid tail in the pool. Today, they tell my daughter that she cant use it in the pool. One guy had the guts to say it has been the policy for a long time. In the past two years I have never seen someone else with a mermaid tail.I can only guess that someone who couldnt steal enough from lockers to buy their own complained and they decided to pass a rule saying my daughter cant wear hers. Typical government facility built with taxes... encourage crime. cater to the whiners, punish the people whose taxes actually paid for it.I dont trust them. Even though I filled out the cancellation paperwork, I contacted my bank and put a stop to the automatic deductions. Its amazing how you can find so many criminals right next to the police station.

This is a great facility if you like swimming. The one downside is the locker room was not very secure. It would have gotten five stars for the review if the locker rooms had been more secure. The facility is nice and clean. The classes they offer are excellent. And the pool and swimming area for the kids are just amazing. Plus the kids can play while you swim laps. Lots of lifeguards on duty.

The indoor kids center is the most amazing thing during hot summer days. Great climbing wall with opening climbing multiple days a week. Easy to get belay certified with Parker. He is super knowledgable and patient, and will ensure you have all the clinging fundamentals you need in order to be a successful newbie climber.Great kids care staff with free kids care until 8pm on weekdays :-)Great rates on room rentals.

I wanted to sign my daughter up for the preschool today 1/31, because I work full time I have not been able to sign her up because there was no way to ensure she would get there. My work schedule legitimately just changed 1/27 and I now have Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off. My niece goes to the Tuesday and Thursday class so I wanted to sign my daughter up. The lady said it was too late, graduation is in May? She would be too far behind. LOL it’s preschool for heavens sake! And it’s one month after your cut off, you can’t make an exception? And feb-May is still 4 months?? Either way I am disgusted! Not everyone has the ability to sign up their kid due to working full time! I’m sure there is another preschool that will take my daughter as this is ridiculous, I really thought it would be fun to have her be with her cousin. I may talk my brother into changing his daughter, as it’s silly again it’s preschool people not Harvard!

It doesn’t make sense that the front desk takes the payment for the Tae Kwon Do class but they can not provide any other information at all or a way to contact the trainer. I have called four times and went once and they seemed too lazy to think and find a solution. Even when I gave them a suggestion to resolve the problem they where too lazy to do it and transferred me to another line where no one answered.

I was only there two days performing maintenance on the roof. But I made several trips through in and out of the building with tools and equipment and was impressed with what I saw. If my interaction with front desk and maintenance staff reflect the climate this is a nice facility.

Great place to work out. Staff is friendly and helpful. I go almost everyday and do cardio and weights. Also enjoy the hot tub. Great community center for things like Halloween safety fair, free tax help, and lots of other stuff. Also has good softball fields and outdoor walking track. A real gem for our community.

Good gym but needs more free weights / barbell weights as the machine weights really are kinda useless, except for a very minor few. Or they could make a barbell exclusive room instead of having 3 raquet ball rooms.

We had a family pass for a year. I liked being able to work out there every morning. Plenty of treadmills. There is a variety of weight machines so it didnt feel too crowded. We played racquetball a few times as a family, but mostly we came for ping pong and air hockey. There isnt too much else, except for the indoor pool which is decent. Too bad the ice rink wasnt included.

The price is great for everything youre getting- playground, rock wall, gym, swimming.... But the play area could use a little updating, for example the grocery store was very sparse. And I suppose its hard to find warm pools, but we took my 1yo here who loves swimming, and we couldnt stay more than 20 mins because she was shivering so much. Id give this place 3 stars, but it does have an adorable price for those of us on a tight budget.

Theft is rampant at this place. I have had stuff stolen twice and almost everyone I know has been the victim of theft here.I quit going and cancelled my membership when they didnt have enough parking for regular membership holders because of a bouncy car festivus they had going on.The bouncy car thing tells you what kind of crowd they really want to attract. I have found the Kearns place much better customer service with a lot less theft. Dont waste your time here.

We love coming on Monday or Wednesday night when they have staff supervised rock climbing. For entry for my 5 year old just $2.50 he can do climbing wall, indoor edutainment center(playground and games) and even do swimming. My 3 yr old is still free so this is awesome entertainment out of the hot sun. The climbing wall staff have always been excellent and friendly to my kids. The pool is fun just a little cool but my 5 yr old has fun on the slide. Last visit I was a little annoyed by the teenagers splashing and nearly running over top of us on the lazy river without being considerate of others especially small kids.

Clean and Cool, the pool is redone after decade plus of original design, and great place for kids. It gets a 4* on fact that there is no sauna or steam room, which is only reason I dont love it there like I did in past at Golds or County ran gyms. Staff is great.

This place doesnt force any of the required rules. People swimming dressed completely and many of them do not take the shower before they go into the pool.They have a lap swimming line but is not useful for it. One time I came to swim and they told me that some kid threw up in the water and they don’t recommend to swim that day.People keep the lines busy just being there and do nothing. I just waist my yearly membership payment. I would not recommend to anyone this place.

Review №89

There are plenty of exercise equipment to use, but I wish they had more than 2 stair masters. I also do not like that cars park and wait in the no parking red zone in the front. It’s very inconvenient when you’re trying to park or trying to leave. They need to have a rule that if you’re going to have a conversation without using the equipment you’re on then you need to go to sit somewhere else and let other people use the machine. They need to have everybody on the track either go clockwise or counter clockwise BUT not both. It’s really annoying when you’re moving in the same direction as everyone else and one person comes out of nowhere in the opposite direction smh! This is a decent place to workout especially if you have kids, but if you want to avoid young kids/teens altogether then go to another gym like Vasa.

Review №92

I love the rec center, we have a family annual membership. The playground is great and our kids do summer camp here and enjoy it. The camp has very convenient early drop-off late pick-up hours, although I wouldnt complain if they were a bit earlier. They were very accommodating to me though, opening up the playground earlier in the morning than they did previously so my kids could play while I exercised. The weight room can be ridiculous in the afternoons/evenings/on Saturdays, so avoid those peak times if possible. The pool is fun and has a waterslide, unfortunately the membership doesnt cover the outdoor pool though. Also there are no benefits at the ice center for members, even though its in the same building.

The service and consistency in the pool area seem that be short real help. Certain rules are enforced at certain times employees are exempt and they only seem to care for the moment. I dont plan on renewing my membership I will just find someplace else.

Review №94

Pros:The fitness center is a wonderful place to go. If you have young children and do not want to pay extra for daycare, you can have 1 hour of free daycare while you exercise, then come back after 3 hours and get another hour for free. If you go over, the cost is not very bad.My wife feels the class instructors are more invested than the local VASA gyms which keeps the class moving.There is a free rock wall that caters to bouldering at any time, and have set times for climbing. (If you are belayed certified you can climb at any time)The cardio area is well supplied. There are everything from stationary bikes, treadmills, rowers, elliptical, ab stations, and other various machines as you would like.The edutainment center for children is well stocked and has a lot of activities available for children.The pool area is fun. There is a children play area, water slide, and lap swim lanes. The water feels good and there is usually space available.NUETRAL:Sometimes there are swim teams using some of the lanes so plan ahead to get a time that will not conflict.You are sharing a parking lot with the Centennial Park which can cause some grief when parking (but youre there to exercise so it doesnt hurt to have to walk a little too)Sometimes to get in the gate arm bar doesnt recognize you and will not spin the first time.CONS:Sometimes the restrooms feel messier than they should.They have not updated their prices so when paying I thought my membership would be one thing but it was a little more. The flyers were printed in 2013 and should be updated.--Side Note--You will come across people that disregard common rules and think they are above it. This does not reflect on the fitness center. I feel that this is common of any place you go anymore.

The pool is a lot of fun, especially for kids. It can get really crowded on weekends, but its not too bad on weekdays, even in the summer. My kid and his cousins love the edutainment play place. That thing is huge. The weight room has a good variety of machines, but theyre packed in pretty tight. Its almost like someone was playing Tetris to get them in there.
