About

Member gym, fitness center and workout facility offering weights, spin and other group classes, plus an indoor pool and hot tub.

The club features multiple aquatic facilities, each maintained at different temperatures to suit their specific uses. The lap pool, designed for swimming, is generally kept cooler, often around 80-82°F (26-28°C). The warm water therapy pool is maintained at a higher temperature for relaxation and rehabilitation, typically around 88-92°F (31-33°C). Additionally, there is a hot tub, usually heated to 100-104°F (38-40°C), for hydrotherapy and muscle soothing.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This fitness center receives mixed reviews. Positively, it is recognized as the largest gym in Ruidoso, offering 24/7 access, fitness classes, locker rooms, and military discounts. Nayara is highly praised for her kind and effective swimming lessons. Some members also highlight great service and atmosphere. However, significant criticisms include old and poorly maintained equipment, particularly treadmills. A recurring and strong negative sentiment is directed towards an employee named Bree, who is described as disrespectful, having control issues, and enforcing arbitrary rules (dress code, hot tub use), which has led to member attrition. Other complaints mention uncomfortable heat levels, perceived discrimination against fitter individuals, concerns about young boys in women's locker rooms, and an unresponsive owner.

I’ve been a member on and off of this fitness center. This fitness center is the largest here in Ruidoso. The other option is Anytime Fitness. This one is also 24hrs. You access it after business hours with your key card. My only complain is that a lot of the equipment is old and not properly maintained. This is especially true for the cardio equipment. It seems many of the treadmills don’t work properly. Aside from that, it’s your typical gym. They offer fitness clases and they have locker rooms. They offer military discounts on memberships.

I've been going here for few years for 2 of my kids swimming lessons, nayara is amazing with the kids, she is kind and build relationships with all of her students, so they can trust her, I suggest if you want someone kind, and amazing at her job ask for nayara so she can help teach ur kid swim

Excellent gym! Only downside is depending on who's at the desk, tht set the heat high and gets uncomfortable.

Gym is older and just ok, but Bree I believe her name is a terrible employee with control issues. First she yelled at us in the middle of the workout asking if we paid...yes I paid a day fee that wasn't cheap but they don't have any way of keeping track, then a couple weeks later I was squatting in the tiny squat area that is a goldfish bowl having members doing aerobics watching us. I did have tiny shorts as I am a competitor and she came and told me I needed to cover up. I asked if they worked with power lifters, bodybuilders etc...she said no they do not....then finally another week or so later my boyfriend and I were in the hot tub after working out relaxing. She came in and told us we had to go and shut it off on us. I had only massaged his traps and neck a bit, nothing inappropriate. She talks to adults like children and is very disrespectful. There is NO posted dress code, just says employees get to determine or something like that. I've never done anything wrong and have had MANY gym memberships. This happened over a year ago I haven't said anything because we were going to talk to the owner but he is never there and doesn't seem to care about previous issues. After we left several friends came with us for the same type of things...wearing slides if you forget your shoes and general control freak issues and being rude. They cater to elderly and teenagers and actually discriminate against fitter people. Although they allow 8-12 yo boys walk thru the locker rooms seeing naked women!! Over it! Get rid of Bree and eventually maybe your business will come back.
