About

Sprawling fitness center and gym, featuring multiple pools and hot tubs.

The Competition Pool is generally maintained at 78-80°F. The Leisure Pool typically has a temperature of 84-86°F, and the Whirlpool is kept warmer at 102-104°F.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facilities are widely praised for being modern, well-maintained, and clean, featuring multiple pools (including a 50-meter pool), a two-story gym with a large selection of equipment, and a good, fairly priced cafeteria. The campus itself is described as gorgeous, offering green spaces, streams, and hiking opportunities, with plenty of parking. Staff and lifeguards are consistently highlighted as dedicated, friendly, and very helpful. While the location provides a quiet and serene environment, it is noted to be about a 40-minute commute from the city. A significant negative point, however, is the extremely poor management and lack of responsiveness, particularly concerning swim lesson inquiries, which caused frustration and a poor experience for some users.

Within the confines of the sitting area is a fifty-meter pool. There was a parking lot close by at that very moment. In the building, there is a fitness center.

Great modern facilities with three pools and accompanying services. the campus is gorgeous with plenty of green spaces hikes and trees. There are even very nice small streams but Also plenty of parking space for large events. There is a good and fairly priced cafeteria. The only thing is that it is a good 40 minutes away from the city which makes it a bit of a commute but also very quiet and Serene.

A very popular place for workouts and water sports at Gorge Mason - the facility is extremely well maintained. The staff and lifeguards are dedicated and friendly.

This place is horrible- at least as far as getting swim lessons goes. My wife and I have both emailed multiple times trying to get personal lessons, the most expensive kind of lessons, for our 8 year old. They don't even bother to ANSWER. Pathetic. The facility itself is nice, but the management is awful, awful, awful. I went to Mason and I know how the school loves money. My college roommate was even the director of the board of visitors! The lack of attention and care is ridiculous. Don't waste your time trying to contact them.
