Pretty good facility. Was pretty busy in the basketball guymon the 3rd floor. Will be checking out the workout gym on the 2nd floor next time I go there. There were nearby vending machines, and machines that fill water bottles/drinking fountains. The only down fall is the lack of signage or anything else. If you didnt know where it was, you would wander for awhile trying to find it. That being said, its at the south side of the mall building. Close to the parking garage.

A great location for this center, easy to get to, plenty of parking. Working out in the gym is great, plenty of machines, clean locker rooms, and good cardio. Lauren at the front desk has sincere Customer Service skills as I see her making so many people feel welcome.

Though friendly, the front-desk staff seemed to be on a high learning curve of the required knowledge concerning my questions(this is why I gave it a 4-star) Started a Pilates class today, Carol, the instructor, is excellent in leading the class and was available immediately following to discuss possible modifications to a couple challenging positions that are painful due to old joint injury

A great alternative. This is a clean fitness facility with modern, well maintained equipment. There is a gym for basketball.Havent found a track yet but there is the mall if you want to get out of the weather. I walked the mall indoor distance at 0.4 miles if you follow all the walls and side alleys.

Ive been going to this gym for a couple months now and have enjoyed the smaller setting, as I have become familiar with several of the other regulars who also come to the gym during the same evening hours, and have been happy with my physical progress. However, for the past couple of weeks, my friend has been singled out and targeted by an employee who has taken it upon himself to deliberately antagonize my friend during the hours we are attending. Every night, 10-15 minutes before the gym closes, a staff employee comes upstairs and begins to clean up/maintenance the machines in the gym and making sure that all the weights are put away. During this time, the employees will use a subtle gesture to let gym members know however much time is left until closing time and sometimes dont even do so because everybody who attends the gym that late in the evening is fully aware of what time it is and what time the facility closes. One employee in particular (I believe his name is Randal or Randy) feels it is necessary to hover you during your workout and pressure you into finishing up early because he clearly doesnt enjoy working at the facility and wants to go home. It is rather frustrating being in the midst of your set and being interrupted in such a harassing way. We are all adults and are fully aware of the time the gym is closing and know we need to be out of the gym by 9pm. Recently, this particular employee has decided to take matters into his own hands and has singled out my friend because he brought the employees frustrating actions to his attention and the employee got in his feelings. Since then, he has intentionally antagonized my friend, informing ONLY him of the time and when the gym closes, and has even gone to the extent of asking ONLY him to leave 15 minutes earlier than the gym closes because he has the power and right to do so. This employee has called mall security to the gym to escort us out and has even gone to the extent of calling the police because he doesnt want us to be at the gym for his own personal reasons. Ive done my best to ignore this petty made up issue and have done my own thing in the gym, until the night Randal decided to call the police on my friend because he didnt want to leave the gym 15 minutes early when he didnt have any reason to have to leave. This employee ONLY asked my friend to leave (not the 4-5 other members also in the gym) and didnt even ask, just told my friend to leave without any legitimate reason. I saw police cars begin to pull up to the mall and decided to go down stairs to try and mediate the situation and give multiple perspectives to this employee and the police about the situation, causing me to take time out of my own workout. I have since been suspended for violating the gyms terms by threatening staff and somehow making the gym an unenjoyable environment. Also pretty convenient/ironic that I was issued my suspension the day after I was allowed to pay for another months renewal and let into the gym to workout the previous day. Im completely unsatisfied with the lack of professionalism at Foothills Activity Center, as there was no attempt to resolve the issue between all parties before receiving an unwarranted suspension I feel as though I did not deserve. Ive recommended this gym to several friends of mine, but will no longer speak so highly of this establishment. If you dont mind police contact or having an overweight, out of shape, obese employee who doesnt even enjoy working at a fitness center tell you, I hate people like you and hover over your shoulder pressuring you to hurry up and leave so he can get home to play xbox and drink soda pop, this is definitely the place for you! PS: I would not waste my time to write this long of a detailed review if I wasnt seriously unsatisfied with my experience.

Been a regular for sometime here now and love the gym, the environment for being fit has been great and the staff has been great for the most part, except for recently. A man named Randell or Randy has been herassing a fellow fitness member there at the gym, pushing to make him leave early for whatever personal issue reasoning. The man gave him a hard time last week to leave before they close and again tonight to leave 15 min before they closed, specifically told him to go when there were a few others there as well. Not sure why this has become an issue all of a sudden because he is also a regular and pays his monthly fees. The employee even went so far as to calling the police on him, had several cops come to escort him out and said he must leave even if the employee didn’t have any specific reason. I would hate to say race or anything had to do with it but not sure why it is even happening in the first place. If someone pays for a membership, they should be allowed to get what it is they pay for and not be herassed in anyway shape or form. The employee needs to be reviewed him self if you ask me. This isn’t right and has become a far bigger issue than its needed to be. Loved this place but hate to see something like this occur where i attend almost everyday.

Great place to work out, great staff besides the same guy mentioned in other reviews. I was told I hate people like you by this guy personally. I dont know if he meant people who go to the gym or people with a darker shade of skin but either way this is unacceptable. This guy will stand behind you sighing invading your personal space so that you will leave the gym early. He will call the security officers on you if you dont leave whenever he feels like leaving. The gym closes at the same time everyday on weekdays and myself along with others are always out of the building by the time it is closed. No other staff has had problems or called police or security on customers besides this one guy. I have over 6 friends that go to this gym specifically and we will not be going here much longer if this continues.

This place has a quality basketball court and gym which are very big. Many people go over here and play bball which makes it fun. Not always will you get people to play with you, there are usually dads with little kids over here

Nice place. Definitely an upgrade from the old YAC. One of the really cool touches is they used some of the old floor from the basketball court and used it on the front of the desk. Really cool check it out even if you are just walking by.

Love this place! I might be a little biased because I work here, but it really is an amzing workout facility. The machines are clean and new, and it has a really neat layout.I hate working out because I always feel like I am getting stared down, but here it isnt the case! Go ahead and give it a try if youre curious!

This facility is owned by the city of Fort Collins and his part of the recreation department. When the city gave concessions to the developer of the mall they insisted that the developer put in this Recreational facility as part of the deal.

Great idea, some bad apples (employees) really ruin the experience with their power trips and made-up-on-the-spot rules.
