About

Recreation center offering a fitness center, gym, pool, sports courts, and an indoor track, plus classes.

The aquatic center includes both a lap pool and a zero-depth entry leisure pool. The lap pool is typically maintained at a comfortable swimming temperature for exercise (often around 80-82°F or 27-28°C), while the leisure pool is kept warmer for family use and recreation (often around 86-88°F or 30-31°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Crestwood Recreation & Wellness Center is highly praised for its comprehensive fitness facilities, including a gym, walking track, fitness center, and particularly its clean, well-maintained pool with 25-yard lanes, excellent hours for lap swim, and diverse aquatic classes. Staff are consistently described as very friendly and accommodating, with a standout example of manager Cory providing exceptional, compassionate service by offering free pool access for a family with unique circumstances. While the facility is generally noted for its cleanliness, specific recurring mentions include hair clogging drains in the ladies' locker room showers, though these minor issues do not detract significantly from the overall positive experience. The center also accepts the Silver Sneakers program and is favored over other gyms like La Fitness due to its reliable and clean pool availability.

Number 1 for all you fitness needs. There's a gym, walking track, fitness center, and best of all a pool. There's aquatic classes 6 days a week with various instructors to choose from. There is also lap swim and swimming lessons. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Extra bonus, they accept the silver sneakers program.

Friendly staff and clean facility. Joined for the pool - nice clean 25 yard lanes with great hours for lap swim. Classes seem well attended and have a loyal following. Locker rooms are tidy and shower and restroom facilities are clean and well kept.

Improving all the time Men's locker room is kept up but the ladies locker room always has hair clogging the drains so if you drop your soap in the shower you will probably want to leave it 😉 There was a little ball of crap on the men's room floor and the ladies room showers still have hair in the drains but I'm still giving 5 stars because they let us in 5 minutes early

I would like to give a real shout out to the Crestwood Recreation & Wellness Center. They are Amazing! My wife is suffering from cancer. And is currently in a wheelchair. I live in a condo complex with a pool. But there is a limit as to how many people can attend. She Loves the water and really wanted to go in the water during the memorial day weekend. We were going to need way more than 4 people so my pool was not an option, because Even though I asked my complex about it and told them my special circumstances, the gave me such a hard time! Really kind of sad. Anyways… I got on the phone with the Crestwood Recreation & Wellness Center and spoke with Cory the manager. I explained my circumstances and he right away came to the Rescue!! He invited me and my wife along with a total of up to 15 people (that was my number I gave him) and welcomed all of us to his pool FREE OF CHARGE!! We had an Amazing Time she was able to get into the pool on a raft at first then finally she was able to swim with the help of a floatie on her own! Way to Go Cory and the Crestwood Rec Ctr! Can’t thank you enough for making such special memories for my wife and family!!! 😜😎
