Rating this from a fitness center perspective: When you walk in, you're supposed to tell a security guard where you plan on going prior to going in the facility. Once in, I didn't experience a super friendly front desk attendant. In fact, she seemed a bit dismissive, I was using a discount pass for the place and she had no interest to talk to me anymore than completely necessary. I asked about the personal training sessions ( the discount pass supposedly includes 2!) and she said to talk to "them" back there and that's where you pay for it. What? I reminded her of the pass I was using and this meant nothing to the girl.

The indoor pool area is smaller and was a bit strong smelling in chlorine, perhaps due to the lower ceilings. The outside pool area looked fairly large and comparable to a Y facility. The shower rooms housed a compact sauna as well as a steam room. I have heard mixed reviews on the cleanliness of steam rooms in general, and according to another review, this one evidently doesn't always work ( just something to be mindful of.)

That's the whole place, fitness wise. I got the impression they didn't want discount folks in there and first impressions say a lot. If you live nearby, hey check it out.. there be different workers on staff, an energetic front desk person that would also tell you about yhe 7 day pass you can use to check out the facility, it wasn't even offered and my pass was only for 1 person.
