I loved it! Plenty of sporting codes choices; parking convenience; fresh and clean; easily accessible; vending machines for drinks. Great welcoming atmosphere.

Excellent environment to complete a work out in. I wish machines were a little better maintained, and that there was a few different ones included in the mix example given, versa climber

TJD basketball camp. Was very disappointed. This camp taught my grandson nothing. There were 10 stations, no teaching, at all!!!We stood in line over 45 minutes just to sign in. Then, they were coached (watched) by high school students.Spending over $200.00 I really thought he would learn something. He learns more playing street ball with the neighborhood kids. Was told we were not allowed to bring in anything to have autographed. They had to buy balls there and they ran out within 15 minutes!!!On 1 good note: Tryce came in to sign autographs and he was very pleased to sign anything. He really took him with the kids and families. But, with this being his camp I feel he should have at least talked to the campers and did a shoot around with them. $150.00 plus $80.00 for a ball and all we received was a picture and autograph. VERY DISAPPOINTING

Short haired older female staffer EXTREMELY unprofessional, caused a scene then abruptly ended a youth basketball championship game! Had a great experience Saturday, don't know who chose the staff and blatantly racist refs Sunday but it was extremely obvious even to those just watching inbetween other games (18 vs 5 foul calls, 4 technicals - one on the scorekeeper!). What an embarrassment, Twin Lakes was not well represented. I hope the teams that were robbed of a fair championship game based on TALENT and not refs get a chance to play again but not here. I'll never choose this facility again for anything.

Bloomington needs an upper crust sports park. This one is sufficient. Indoor soccer is available. Basketball courts are in much better shape.

Twin Lakes is a first rate facility for all types of workouts . As a very senior senior I enjoy the walking track, weight machines and free weights available. The staff is always friendly . Lots of convenient parking . Overall a real plus for the community.

If you are an adult going here to play basketball, be ready to be kicked off of the court at random times by people who have more money and can rent it out per hour. Could be a random basketball practice, or you could be completely SOL if it’s a tournament.I will say the courts are clean, and I will eventually get to experience them for more than one hour at a time if I perhaps come there right when they open. If I’m paying 40 dollars a month, I shouldn’t have to pay an extra 20 or 30 an hour just to beat someone else trying to pay an hour just to use a court. There can’t just be a members only court? There’s a members only court sometimes when youth basketball are having games, but then sometimes not. If someone can pay money to reserve the court for themselves, then the courts should just be free. Money talks I guess.Imagine you go to use a treadmill and it’s booked for the weekend 😂

This place is easy to find with plenty of parking. The rates are enticing. The walking track is elevated and fun to use. The basketball courts are well maintained. The lighting throughout is good. The pickleball courts are a nice bonus. The staff is friendly and helpful. I have not taken classes, but the classes I have seen look fun and the people are involved.

I would prefer to give this gym 4 1/2 stars, but if I'm leaning in one direction I'll stay with 4. I'll start with the positives: 1) The gym is never crowded. While that may be bad for business, it is great for people working out there. 2) They really do a great job catering to the needs of the older population. While I'm still fairly young, it is great to see all of the seniors walking on the track and doing their best to stay healthy in their later years. 3) The assortment of free weights, weight machines, and cardio machines is good. 4) The staff is nice. Some are very welcoming and others are okay. Overall, I can't complain. 5) I enjoy going on the weekends when they have their basketball tournaments. They're never in the way of the people working out and it is fun to watch the game... although parking can get rough.A few negatives, but I'm not complaining too much. 1) As I said earlier, the assortment of free weights is good, but it is a little bit lacking. Between the smith machines, squat racks, and benches, there does not seem to be enough plates to go around. Also, if you want to do barbell shoulder presses, dead lifts, barbell curls, or barbell rows you have to improvise. You could do all of those things in the squat rack, but there is only one squat rack and it wouldn't be fair to other members to hog it for all of your exercises.
