I love this athletic club! It's a gym where, truly, everyone is welcome and there is something for everyone! I personally love the group fitness classes-- and there are a variety of classes offered at different times throughout the day. The management is very open to receiving feedback from members, so it feels like my voice is heard, and I'm a part of the bigger community.

Raintree is a great community experience. The gym is complete with wide range of equipment, but what really matters is the people working at Raintree. Great instructors! And the roll they play in the community doesn't stop there. They help with all kinds of events, including sponsorship for running races. Raintree has a genuine home town feel.

I couldn't ask for a better experience. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted by the friendly desk staff. The Treehouse childcare center is filled with incredible and caring staff that have made wonderful relationships with my kids. The yoga and class teachers are very knowledgable and encouraging. There are many classes to choose from throughout the day, so I can go even if my schedule changes. The locker rooms are comfortable and clean. Finally, the hot tub is a great way to relax or maybe indulge at the coffee shop. RAC is one of the best parts of my day.

Phenomenal service, fantastic facilities, amazing classes.I have been to a lot of gyms/clubs in my time and have never had the experience that RAC has offered. The facility is fantastic, the classes offered are second to none (I've tried all of them) and the service is phenomenal. Even the front desk staff never fail to remember your name and greet you every day at 5:30am. That is a tribute to management, as is the service-orientated culture of the club whose unspoken mission seems to be "what more can we give you for your membership".Moving out of state, I am dreading finding a new club because I feel like locally owned clubs won't have the facilities or classes that RAC has, and franchise gyms don't have the personalized service...

Raintree has a great schedule of classes, varied options, and committed teachers. I love their childcare; it's inexpensive but still high-quality. The cafe is yummy. The sauna and pool are crucial. The locker rooms feel like I'm in a high-end spa. It's a great community, and they take care of their members.

I like how there are older people as well as young, & larger people as well as the fitness fanatics. There are lots of people in just normal workout clothes too - you don't have to try & look trendy to fit in (which is just as well!) The Les Mills classes are fab as are the instructors, & everyone is really friendly. It's really clean too. I really recommend it. It's maybe a little pricey but you just have to go more to get your money's worth!

I joined around November of '13. The places is incredibly clean, the folks who work there are always super helpful, and they literally have everything I need/want in a gym...everything. I even crank out weekly yoga classes there which is new to this guy, but which have been awesome. It's simply a great place.

The decor is great, especially the tile in the locker room. It's nice having a choice of using equipment in a room of TV's or in a quiet area. The pool aerobics class is fun. It's great having a coffee shop/deli right in the club. But the best part is the people. The staff is always friendly. And I love my trainer who always has a fresh new hell for me every session!

Got a massage at the club; let me start that I have had more then a few massages and I did not have high hopes for the RAC having a decent massage staff present; I figured it would be some fresh person out of technical college who used too much oil and no pressure. WAS I WRONG! I had my appointment with Stephanie and she was fantastic, based on me saying that I was having lower back pain and her asking 2 questions and looking at how my body stood she knew I had hip issues which I noticed earlier the day while riding my bike. She used FANTASTIC pressure on my shoulders and noticed my breathing was restricted and addressed that as well. Then she attacked my quads and I think I fell in love. She is very intuitive, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I was VERY impressed. I am going back for sure and I can imagine her and Ja'rod are both equally great. Couldn't be happier. Plus great competitive price! My new spot for a massage in Fort Collins for sure.

I've been a member of RAC for several years now, having joined when it was "The Pulse" (before renovations). The renovations are really nice, especially the locker room/bathroom facilities. I also love the inexpensive price (student member here). I can't comment on the classes offered because I do not attend them, but it appears that many are offered, and they seem to be well taught and very popular.The only reason I give it 4/5 stars is that the free weights area seems to have been a bit neglected during the renovation. Its basically stayed the same with nothing (other than a new set of dumbbells) done to refresh it. I would like to see improvements made to this area.
