The activity pool is great when all aspects are open but lately the slides have been closed due to lack of guards. This is the part the kids really want to use so it is very upsetting to get there and find the slides closed. Seems to happen a lot lately.

This is a super clean facility. I always go to hoop. So, 3 full basketball courts is LOVE. Fitness center is solid w/ more than enough to build whatever area of yourself. Pools. A LONG walk/run/bike path. I have checked the locker rooms if there is a sauna or steam room yet, but that would make this one of the best gyms I’ve been to, in my opinion‼️👏🏽🌟

Pros: The Water Park being included in your membership is wonderful. Sauna in the locker room is great. Kids Zone staff are lovely.Cons: Fitness Center needs a deep clean, machines are very dirty. Need to invest in new stretching mats, they are falling apart and gross. Fitness staff are not knowledgeable when it comes to hot to report issues. Several free weight machines and cable lay are not smooth and when mentioned to the staff they just looked up from their phone and said okay.

My two Elementary school aged daughters and I went on an extremely busy Saturday. It took 2 1/2 hours standing in line just to get into the facility. While in line there was out of control line jumping by teenaged kids and when voiced by at least 3 people, nothing was done about it and people were taunted by teenagers for saying anything to on duty law "enforcement". The facility was ok.

I really love coming here. The price for what you get is fantastic. Some things could use an update like the first floor locker rooms yes etc. I should also highlight that this facilities has consistently won awards for accessibility. What other gym is out here doing that??? It feels very inclusive for all bodies. Fantastic staff, the group fitness classes are amazing, and overall other gym goers are friendly.. But yall really complaining when what you want is 100 per month at other places. The entitlement of some of these reviewers! BTW Carmel residents, the Monon is self funded now, it hasn't used tax revenue since 2007. It's literally a FAQ on their website. Do your research before you complain.

I love this place. It’s been a really cost effective way to attend various fitness group classes and also have access to a gym and all the other amenities. It’s generally really clean and yes- busy. But generally speaking the times of day I go to use it, it’s starting to wind down. But there are definitely days you’d think the circus was in town. Waterpark is a lot of fun too, just wish they were open past the first week of August. I know it’s hard to staff the place after kids go back to school, but it would be nice to be able to use the park while it isn’t chocked full of said kids every day lol Oh well.

The facility is fine but we have had a poor experience with the employees in the fitness area. To the extent my husband was working out with a few buddies and an employee came up and attempted to start a fight while degrading veterans. Despite numerous people submitting reports on what happened, management has done nothing to address this treatment and continues to support an unsafe environment. Unfortunately we (and all those we have referred) will have to look for another place as this is not acceptable. I would expect a community center to have higher standards.

We went to the indoor kids pool play area. This past week it’s been in the 20s, but the pool was absolutely freezing. We saw several young kids getting out shortly after getting in the pool with purple lips and shivers. This isn’t a lap pool. These are young children and families. The air in the pool area seemed more like the air conditioner was on or something.

Took my little guy to indoor pool. Loved it! Only suggestion is the water and temp could be warmer.

If you're joining for weight training, I'd look into other gyms. Way too crowded for the small space they've allotted for weights.
