What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this facility are mixed. While some patrons praise it as a 'perfect place' for events like life celebrations and birthday parties (specifically a Nerf war, where staff were kind, helpful, and organized, and amenities like connecting rooms and speaker systems were appreciated), other experiences are negative. The gym is not recommended for older adults due to young people monopolizing machines, rude staff, and long waits. The pool area is described as hazardous, with rough floors and walls causing cuts and scrapes, and one pool had a dangerously slippery newly painted floor. Kids' birthday parties in the pool area were criticized for insufficient seating, mandatory swim assessments significantly reducing water time, and a rushed exit due to early closing.

If you are an older adult doing exercise to stay walking, skip this place. Young people take up machines - sit and talk with friends, sit with cell phone texting. A simple workout takes 2 hours. Young adults rude and privileged are just tough to put up with. This place turned me away only to find out I did not need my active adult number just my card. You see the high schooler was to lazy to look it up but when I returned and asked someone else it got done, no problem. It's just not worth it coming here.

Beware the pool is quite hazardous. We all got scraped up from touching or rubbing against the floors and walls. Cut up knees and feet are really common going here. I don’t know why they can’t fix this!? It ruins the experience that would otherwise be wonderful. Below is my baby’s hand after playing in the baby pool. Her knees were bad too. I scraped my knee in the hot tub- the step/seats are razor sharp.

Went for a kids birthday party. The pool area was very clean and nice and they had a lot of slides and attractions for little kids. There were 8 kids attending the party but they only had tables and chairs set up for 6. So 2 kids had no seats and had to stand and eat and there were not any seats at all for adults to eat pizza and other treats at the party. Party was from 4:45 to 6pm. Lifeguards had to do individual swimming assessments with each child before they were allowed in the water. So kids got in water about 5pm. They got out at 5:45 to eat pizza and food. Place closed at 6pm so we were rushed out of there. Kids only had 45 minutes in water. There was simply not enough time. Also, the floor area around the pool had just been painted and was extremely slippery when wet, which made no sense at all.

I had my father's life celebration here after his passing. Everyone was very kind and helpful. They kept checking on us to make sure we had everything. I rented two connecting rooms and it was perfect. They had tables and chairs and I was able to connect into their speaker system to play music. It was a perfect place.

We reserved the gym for a Nerf war birthday party and everyone had so much fun! The party hosts did a great job with everything.
