Weight room and cardio areas are great. Very spacious and plenty of equipment. However as some others have mentioned the pool and hot tub areas reek of chlorine to the point of burning your eyes. Every time I use the pool and hot tube at this facility , the next day I get a bad nose bleed and what feels like “burning” in my sinuses for several days afterwards. On several occasions I have seen one of the life guards scrubbing the inside tiles/sides of the hot tub with Comet bleach powder. I’m no expert, but I’m pretty certain Comet isn’t supposed to be used in pool and hot tubs.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Is there anyway people walking in the lazy river can be reminded that we are there to exercise, not socialize? Some people continue to block the "passing" lane and never even look around when they are talking to their friend(s).

Teressa | Oct 30, 2021
Brandy Reiser | Oct 30, 2021

I think people go there for many reasons. Maybe just say excuse me when trying to pass and hopefully that will alert them to start watching out for that?
