This would probably be a bigger rating because the staff is very friendly and the facility is clean. The reason for my low rating is simply due to inaccibility. I am wheelchair bound and a parent to a 5 year old daughter who needed swimming lessons. I brought her for her first lesson today only to find every path to the pool could only be accessed by stairs. I have been in a wheelchair all my life so I am no stranger to adverity and barriers however in this day and age it is unexcusable and it really adds insult to injury when it it is owned and operated by a church.

This is a great Church related Gym .Which is my reason for choosing it.It is a little Old school, but it's very clear, not crazy busy, offers class and individual training. The pool is heated and feels awesome as a cool down exercise choice after a HARD WORKOUT!THE BUILDING IS OLD, so there are stairs in a couple areas. The elevator goes to all floors, except for the locker rooms and pool area!The price is Right! Seniors are 1/2 offThere is child care, play areas....A full Basketball court, Racket ball courts.It is a great place for Me. I'm old school I guess....lol
