I have been to this gym almost daily since joining. My kids love The Treehouse and I love all of the classes. Jenny is the best spin and TRX instructor!

Really like the gym, but see people working out in sports bras or barely and shirts. It is still a family gym and don't enjoy seeing them sweating all over machines. No luck if you want to watch tv while you are on a cardio machine because they connection for your headphones is horrible.

I love this gym, the fitness and yoga classes are great and the facility meets all your needs. I would highly recommend going here, I've had memberships at other gyms before and Raintree is by far my favorite.

RAC has it all. They are open early enough I can work out before I have to get ready and leave for work. They have classes as early as 5:30am and as late as 8pm. The variety of classes keeps me from getting bored, plus they have free weights, machines, pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, basketball court, racquet ball court, and an indoor track. I prefer the yoga classes because they instructors are awesome!As a women, I have never felt uncomfortable going in to use the free weights like I have at other gyms. There is a low-key ambiance with the big gym benefits.

I love everything about Raintree. The gym is great and their locker rooms are always very clean. I also love that they have a cafe where I can meet friends for happy hour or get some work done while the kids are in childcare. My kids also love the swim lessons at Raintree and they adore the childcare workers, which makes all of us happy.

I love this place! We kept putting off getting a membership as it seemed a unnecessary luxury that we couldn't afford while I was only working part-time but it's turned out to be so worth it with a family! There is rarely a wait for a cardio machine, the yoga instructors are incredible (and tons of varied class times), there is so much open swim time, and swim lessons with Megan are fantastic! The gym is also usually open for us go in and play around with the kids. And their cafe is the only place in town that still has Big Train chai. Yum! Thanks RAC!

I have been a member at this gym for over 15 years. I have also worked for a couple of the other large gyms in town. The ownership of Raintree is by far the best in town. Not only do they invest in the club, but they are genuinely invested in their members lives. I cannot express the gratitude I have for the employees and GM of Raintree who have been such a large part of my family and our fitness goals.

Best gym I've ever been with. Great student discount. Employees always have a smile on their face, greet you, and always say "thanks for coming." Raintree is an experience that will change your whole day around. I strongly advise you to choose raintree.

I absolutely LOVE Raintree! The variety is really important to me - they have a ton of different classes (Les Mils and hot yoga included) with many instructors. If you try one class and don't like it, you're bound to find another you DO like. The Enlighten Studio really does have a yoga studio, high-end feel . The locker rooms are always very clean and the cardio equipment is rarely all full.So, why 4 stars instead of 5? The crowd may be a drawback for some folks. A few times, I've arrived 5 minutes early to yoga classes only to find them way too full with no space to put a mat. I'm not sure a signup sheet is the answer, but it is worth mentioning. Also, I have three friends who had poor experiences trying to start a membership here after the "business office is closed for the day" - but all three friends work full time and unfortunately cannot stop by during the day.All in all, Raintree is an amazing gym...one that I hope to be a member of for a very long time!

The owner of this club is a nice guy and he has improved it drastically since it was the pulse years ago. It does still have issues with pool and shower drainage which is a concern for foot fungus and the chlorine from the pool should be changed to bromine so clorinated air does not circulate the facility. They do have newer equipment and great classroom facilities. Quitting was a problem after being there well beyond a year, and the office staff was rude, however the owner contacted us and resolved the problem personally. We may eventually rejoin the gym if improvements are made. It sounds like this gym is headed for improvement which is a good thing because it is a prime location for many residents of Fort collins.
