Freestone Recreation Center is a beautiful building! Must not be very well known by most residents as it isnt terribly busy. The second floor has an oval track for walking, fast walking, jogging. There are basketball courts, multiple rooms for the classes held for all different skill levels. Rooms for weights, bikes, treadmills, all sorts of fitness equipment. A two story climbing wall open only certain hours, Billard tables, a two saunas. There are mens and womens locker rooms with showers as well as two family rooms for showering. You must bring your own locks for the lockers, I advise buying your own as most they have dont work. They keep the showers and family showers immaculately clean. My only complaint would be the water pressure of the showers is lacking, probably a water saving feature. Gilbert residents pay less than non-Gilbert residents and some of the Medicare programs cover Seniors for the year through their fitness programs. Handicapped accessible front opening doors, plenty of handicap parking, handicap bathrooms and the family showers are perfect for wheelchairs. There is also an elevator to access the second floor. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Its clearly ran by amateurs. They re-finished the basketball court floor without closing down the gym, which is literally above the basketball court, and without any physical separation due to the open-design. And they didnt open any doors to do so, nor add any additional fans. Just let is fume up the place. But the workers didnt understand that the fumes gathered preferentially at the ceiling, and since they prefer to hang out together on the first floor rather than attend the gym, they had no idea that they were poisoning people. When I notified the staff, they got the supervisor who said that the manager wasnt on duty but that the manager had said it was OK. And they thought it was OK to leave it at that. With people getting dizzy. I ended up having to call the fire department out to have them evaluate the situation. Dangerous amateurs.

I have a love hate relationship with this place. Ive been going for over 8 years. Its a YMCA type place. I loved it because my teens could go and meet their friends and enjoyed it. No muscle men there making me feel uncomfortable as I worked out. Its great for new people to the gym. Its clean. They have a wide variety of classes available for every level. You go and usally fit right in. My favorite thing is I never felt judgment at this gym. The indoor walking path is beautiful. Tvs everywhere. It has older gym equipment no personal fans on equipment and teens are everywhere. Its a little on the expensive side for the type of gym but the no judgment factor keeps me going back.

This place is amazing! My family and I come out here almost everyday to participate in classes that are offered. There is something here for everyone for every age group from racket ball, weight lifting, basketball, track running and billiards just to name a few things. The classes here are also really good at engaging you and they motivate you to work out; in fact, the classes are my favorite part. In my own opinion, the best classes are the cardio drumming and muscle conditioning. I highly encourage anyone and everyone to come down here and bring along your families for a fun day of air conditioned exercise.

Great place to take your kids. Not that great if you want a great workout facility. Selection of equipment is minimal (no squat racks, limited amount of machines.) The lockers are a bit small (school style lockers), i barely could fit my stuff in. Also, you have to pay for lockers. Its only 1 quarter but i wasnt expecting it and i hardly ever carry change. Its fine if youre doing a quick 30 min workout and youre in and out but i like to bring my stuff stay for a while and get a lot muscles worked so i was a bit disappointed.

Overall a lot of different activities if you have older children and want light activity. The price is very good. However, if youre going for weight room strictly like myself its a real pain. Summer time its over packed with young kids who just make it an unenjoyable workout. I mean I know theyre just kids but its so unbelievably annoying at times because its a very small space to begin with. But you get what you pay for I guess.

Joined briefly for fitness equipment which was "meh". If you are looking to join for this reason look closely at the age and variety of machines available. I found variety to be lacking and machines were not smooth during use. If you are on a budget I would recommend joining but for $35 per adult you can go to the YMCA. This is where I am now and am happier.

Awesome is the word to describe our (I live in Gilbert) rec center... we have been members of a couple of gyms here in town the cost is very high... yes you get a little more up dated place with more machines, a nice pool(s)... but for a few bucks this is excellence place!

This Rec Center is very well run and well equipped. My wife and I got certified here to be belay-ers for the rock climbing they have. When you take the time to do this, then you can go any Saturday and do the belaying for your kids which is what we did. Great memories.

The staff are all pretty cool but all the children running around kind of blows. Kids like to open the doors in the racquetball courts and scream something but other then that this is a nice place.

Its a great place for singles or families. The indoor track is great in the summer months. My kids love the rock wall. The daycare staff are fantastic for my little ones.

Wonderful facility with a rock climbing wall, basketball courts, and friendly staff. The price is well worth the well kept location.
