From the reviews
Even without a membership, a day pass for a family of 6 is $45. This includes swimming/sauna/steam room, basketball & pickleball/raquetball courts, the gym, rock wall, the track, and whatever else the rec center has to offer. The locker room & bathrooms are very clean, and the staff is very helpful and friendly.
Yoga instructor Jordan is an inspiration to my wellness practice. His authentic depth to the yoga life is solely due to his genuine immersion of the practice into his own life. Thank u Jordan for providing a path into my own inner peace.✌️🙏
One of the best rec centers I have been. Staff super friendly. Facilities are excellent. Not very busy. Price was $8 for over 65. Well worth it
I've been to many big local gyms and this is by far my favorite one. It is very clean and they have enough space for a lot of people. Everything always works and is being maintained. I get very frustrated going to other gyms and their sauna or pool is broken for 6 months straight.
