The staff is very friendly and helpful. I wish they had the funding for new equipment and rugs which are terribly stained. I think they are an asset to the community.

Had a very nice experience at this place. The Crab Feast was awesome. I look forward to the next one. The food was exceptional and so was the entertainment.

Glass is always half-full instead of half-empty. Still if youre looking for a quality workout/relaxing experience with everything up and running - this probably isnt for you. However they do have a working pool. As well as two weight rooms one with traditional free weights and the other with a pulley system. An after school program hes also ran here. Doesnt appear like it gets too crowded

My husband and I took a swim class with Doris. She’s amazing! There were about six of us in the class altogether and she was able to tailor it to each of our ability levels. I can’t speak on all the programs or the quality of the entire facility but I can definitely recommend Doris’s swim lessons to everyone from beginners to advanced swimmers.

Great location, family atmosphere. I was looking for a summer camp for my grandson that had swimming and sports every day plus outdoors in the park. Its the best value in the City - only $150 per week!

I dont have a membership here, but I did take swim lessons with Doris. Shes a great instructor. She has great patience and she thinks outside of the box to help you conquer areas that youre having difficulties. The pool temp was always warm and comfortable, which is great during the colder months. 10s across the board!! Parking is free just ask the front desk assistant for a parking token. All pros, no cons on my end!

This place is not even the best set up but its quiet in there. However, they wanted to charge 10 freaking bucks for a guest to workout. Whattttt? Many other gyms that have updated exercise machines at least let you bring a guest in for a 3 day trail or for free. Planet fitness cost $20 a month and a person can bring a friend for free. Outrageous.

Came to join. They gave me a flyer of the same stuff online and told me to come back. Went right to another & joined. Learn that people looking to join is a priority

They once had a live roach in their pool! And the workout routine is always the same! Boring as hell. Never coming back!

Has a little bit of everything. Dislike that the summer camps have the pool reserved and unable to swim until after 4.

Its a big building.. A lot more than a gym.. Its pretty good place for serious gym goers,but best to get there before school is out... Has a lot of kids in locker room,for swimming ect.. Also basket ball... I could do with out the kids. But normally u can have the weight room to yourself. Maybe only 2 or 3 people if u get there early.. Fitness center is maybe 5 people most time iam there...

Great place to swim and workout for the area. Its old and needs some TLC but its a gem for the community and very under utilized. Staff is friendly and clean for how old it is.

The weight room is from another era. There is a Planet Fitness down the road, but their dumbbells only go up to 60lbs.
