I'd give it less than a star if I could. The life guard will attempt to kick visitors out of the lazy river to cater to longer time attending visitors breaking the rules. The life guard will literally go up to a father and child around 18 months (he was holding) and tell them at open swim they aren't allowed in the lazy river.It is tiny, the people breaking the rules will stare at you the entire time until you leave which is what happened to me. Absolutely unreasonable and lacking accountability. They should be re trained.

It has a good size and fun indoor river pool that really kicks your butt in a workout if you swim against the current or with it. And the kids love it and swim in it for hours. There is also a fun section for the little little ones with a tiny slide and water play area. Even though there isn't a big water slide like the Lone Tree indoor pool. I rather go here any chance I can

This is my favorite gym, even though it has serious limitations. I love that it’s only 5 minutes from my home. Friendly attentive staff. Nice meeting rooms, basketball court, walking track. I love the current and lap pools, but I don’t use the wading pools. Good collection of weights, but in a confined area. Several cardio machines in the form of treadmills and ellipticals, but not a lot of variety. Fair selection of resistance machines, but very little duplication. Hours are pretty restrictive.This was not our first choice - we were going somewhere else for the past few years, until they shut down because of the pandemic. But it’s a very nice homey kind of gym, and it’s a real pleasure having it nearby.Don’t go there if you’re worried about COVID-19. They don’t require masks for vaccinated people, which seems pretty cool, except for the ones lying and misbehaving. This is not completely the gym’s fault, but some teenage guys were there, not wearing masks, when hanging out with each other at the weight station, and clearly not vaccinated, because they were supposedly wearing masks, but pulled down away from their noses, when they were out among other people.

Great indoor pool area with a fantastic place for kids to walk into the water, slide, play with fountains, etc. They keep the pool water and air very warm, much better than nearby rec centers.
