It has a small workout facility as far as weights and machines go and gets really crowded sometimes! Also it caters a little too much to the children. Often times adults want to arrive at any given time they are open and be able to shoot baskets and or have full court games. But for some reason the courts are always booked for children's events and it kind of excludes the adults from being able to enjoy the membership availabilities that we pay for its actually frustrating. I would suggest LA Fitness or 24 hour fitness sport for adults who want full availability and access to ALL facilities no matter what time you show up.

We love going here. The kids love the kids activity pool and the adults enjoy the many available workout machines. The family changing rooms are nice, but that hallway is cold when you are all wet from the pool.

Decent price and has the works. Free babysitting in house for 2 hours is a huge plus. They have a variety of good classes and you can achieve a great level of fitness with what they offer. Frequently too crowded in the afternoon with all treadmills in use or the pool being mobbed. I feel like they care but the workers can't keep up. There are a always a few people there who leave weights and equipment out or will sit at machines for 5+ minutes on their phones. If you can avoid the post work crowd that's when it is the most crazy.

I love the gym it's big enough for 2 full court games but I enjoy the Friday early Morning Adult games with my friends. They also have a great place for kids to have fun while the parents workout, volunteer, or have fun too.

Too many negative things to report. Here is one: I joined today because they offer childcare while I workout. Unfortunately, for my child’s age, the chances of them being open when I arrive is slim to none. They kept assuring me that it …

Its basic and clean, the people are... Not awful, but not great either. Its honestly boring, doesn't feel welcoming. I moved out of the area, and in order to cancel my membership I have to come back there and cancel in person despite what …

I've gone to this gym for a few years now. It's really declined though. It's extremely dirty and unkept. The machines are often out of order/broken. The gym is too small too handle the after work rush, but that's quite common with other …

Totally functional gym. The basketball courts are usually filled with a mix of kids (8-16 or so), and the pool tends to be quite busy during peak hours (5:00-7:30 pm), but the rest of the gym tends to be pretty quiet. They offer a number of …
