Went to the Riverplex to change my membership to Silver Sneakers due to a change in my insurance. Met with Bel in Sales….awesome experience. Fast and easy. Bel is very pleasant and an asset to their staff. The Riverplex is a great gym. Offers everything I need and more. Staff is always friendly and helpful.
Stopped for facility tour. Great facility directly adjacent to the river. Multiple sport venues....wall climb...pool...gyms... weights...instructed classes- they have it all...as well as access to Y with membership. Excellent parking and plentiful.
