My mother is 91 years old and still going strong due to her membership at this facility. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Mom feels this is her extended family, as she has been coming for many, many years. There is a heated indoor pool that makes it especially nice for older people or those suffering with arthritis or related issues. There are graduated steps to enter the pool, plus a chair lift to help mobility impared utilize this pool. There are 2 pools, so it can accomodate athletic lap swimmers or the different water exercise classes. While mom is doing her water exercise class 3 times a week , I utilize the wellness facility, that includes weight machines for every muscle group, plus cycle machines, treadmills, row machines, and a variety of other equipment to meet any possible need. The staff is always eager to aquaint you with the optimal way to use the equipment. There are basketball courts, scheduled classes of every conceivable genre, plus showers and dressing rooms. The front lobby is spacious and accomodates special events or allows for sitting and enjoying the company of new friends.
