I have had excellent experiences at the River Valley Athletic Club. The front desk staff is pretty helpful. The facility is nice and kept well maintained. They offer a variety of different workout classes that are no additional cost with your membership, which is very lovely! There are two pools (an outdoor and an indoor), which are very nice. The locker rooms are also kept very tidy and are not dirty! I would definitely recommend coming here!

I’ve been going here for almost 4 years and the student deal is bang for your buck. For how nice the gym is and the student deal only making it about $35 a month is an absolute steal. With all the gym has to offer like the pool, sauna, basketball court, and gym equipment it’s a no brainer. So i absolutely recommend it, me and all my friends love it here. and i absolutely love hitting the three piece combo with my boys

River Valley is my favorite spot in town! I’ve been going here for 4 years now, and I always feel at home. I went off to college 2 years ago, and one of the biggest things I look forward to when coming back home is going to river valley! I love all the machines and weight room setup here. It’s not ridiculously busy like my college gym always is. My favorite part is hitting what I call “The 3 piece combo” after a workout: Sauna, cold shower, hot tub. This place holds a special place in my heart! Also - the people who work the front desk are always so awesome! This gym has everything you could possibly need: weights, cardio, yoga, other classes, basketball, racquetball, pool, hot tub, sauna, outdoor pool. It’s the most well rounded and complete gym you will find!

Been going here for years now, and was where I first got into weightlifting. Great environment for you to come and workout especially with friends. Front desk staff are always kind and happy to help with any questions you may have. 5 stars.

I’m visiting from out of down and was looking for a gym to drop in at. Stumbled across this place and was pleasantly surprised. Super affordable day pass ($14) with all the equipment I needed (squat rack / med balls / pull up bars / KBs) + a bunch of lovely amenities like a sauna. Worth the price of admission.
