Great gym. 5+ stars for the facility. Minus for some issues. Two floors of weights and machines. Nice elevated track over the 2 full basketball courts with 6 hoops. The hoops are mostly open--i.e. not blocked off or reserved. This sets SpringHill apart on the plus side. I can bring my son and pretty much count on him being able to play. This is not the case at other gyms. The 50m pool set up with lots of 25yrd lanes--enough so that usually you can split a lane, sometimes have your own lane, and only rarely require 3 person rotation--i.e. more plus side. Unfortunately, they do not post or teach or enforce any etiquette--people will just jump in your lane and run into you even when other lanes are empty or other lanes have swimmers where they fit better and would not disturb the person already in the lane. Also unfortunately, they cant seem to fix the pool thermostat--so one day its hot, another its cold, and on average the pool tends to be too warm for an intense swimmers workout. It has a sizeable kids swim area, hot tub, several racketball courts, and lots of rooms for dance classes, spinning, karate, etc. Unfortunately these rooms are off limits when empty. You are not allowed to just drop in and practice a dance routine, for example, in an empty room. They have a sauna but it is very disappointing as it is never even close to being in the posted temperature range. Its a whopping 20 degrees colder than the middle of the posted range. If you want a sauna, the sauna at Audrey Moore rec is way better.
