Good place, great people work there but the weight machines are terrible in my opinion. The good news for them is that they will last forever because hardly anyone uses them;) , They should all be replaced with cable and weight resistance machines the same way they are in most gyms that actually try to attract people into the gym. My only other complaint is that the hours should be expended to at least 10 PM.

I have been coming here for a few months now and I love it!! The work out areas always have plenty of space and all the equipment I need. I wanted a gym that was not intimidating and fun to go to and this is exactly that. The staff is always friendly and it has felt like a very welcoming community. I would recommend!!

The two gentleman at the first desk are very unpleasant and borderline rude every time I come in to exercise.

Super friendly staff and the facility is clean. It's clearly been updated. Really one of the better community recreation centers I've been to. Masks are optional now. Sunday racquetball is super fun! If you're looking for singles racquetball league, there are several to choose from. Lots of different activities to choose from.

Been coming to Goodson with my family for years. Have done parties here at the gymnastics area, tumble tots, pottery classes, golf lessons, soccer training camps, swim lessons, wave riders swim club, You name it. Facility is outdated and parking is an issue on weeknights. The lifeguards are rude, inconsiderate, will yell at children harshly. As a parent I know you can hold boundaries and rules while still being kind. Kids 5 and under aren't allowed in the hot tub, even with a parent. Not a very family friendly pool in my opinion. Sewage was backing up into the pool area during a wave riders practice and the smell was intolerable. I had my sister/kids nanny take the kids into a swim lane during open swim to practice their flip turns for swim team and they wanted to kick her out for 'teaching a lesson'. The pool compared to highlands ranch pools is much colder. Kids come out with blue lips. I asked about the temp and the front desk said the seniors prefer it colder. Again - senior friendly sure. I pulled my kiddo from swim lessons as she was a shaking shivering mess and asked for a prorated refund, it was not honored. Family friendly? Not in my experience. 2 stars as other areas besides the pool were quality and staff besides the pool staff lifeguards was decent. I'm on the hunt for a new Rec center to spend my money.
