Not so family anymore. Ive been going there for several years, and it used to be family oriented and affordable, which is why I liked it. However, recently I found that the management is not supportive nor accommodating of the members (particularly, Alyson at the front desk and the superintendent Rhea Dreffs). There are too many elder people nova days, and many of them are into competitive sports. There is nothing wrong with this but these elder guys are enforcing own competitive rules very aggressively onto you and your family, regardless of the age and skill. If you try, for example, to learn with your kids to play a pickle ball, these aggressive elders will push you out of the Cort either by forcing you to play a game, which your kids have no chance to win, and if you would just play as a family they will scream at you and force you out of the court! Surprisingly, the superintendent Rhea Dreffs is taking no action to stop this aggressive behavior. In fact, she does just the opposite by making no schedule allowance for the family. After my family was kicked out few times from the cort, I asked Rhea to change the schedule and allow just 1 hour a week when a single pickle ball Cort would be given preferably to the families to help parent to get kids involved. Not only Rhea refused this so far, she threatened to change the rules to make this IMPOSSIBLE for the families to have this right. There are 22 hours of pickle ball on the weekly schedule and NONE of them for the family. Superintendent Rhea Dreffs is not for family and makes this gym family NON-friendly now.

Ive been coming here for years. Its so much more inviting than someplace like Planet Fitness. Its like the difference between a cozy mom and pop restaurant and someplace like Applebees or Olive Garden. The architecture is lovely and airy, with lots of natural light in the daytime. There are fitness classes and swimming classes and no fewer than ten trainers are available (for a price). A 1/12 mile track overlooks the courts where basketball and badminton are mainly played. The price for Washtenaw County residents is something like $200 or $220 per YEAR. Less for seniors. And you can get a good deal on a family pass. One drawback is that they close down for annual maintenance for the two weeks prior to Labor Day. Still, the price and the atmosphere cant be beat! I love this place. Good mix of people, too.

Excellent place to work out. Clean facility, friendly staff. Rhea, the manager, is responsive to our concerns. She is efficient and friendly, Good water aerobics staff. Not a place for the overly competitive, which I consider a major selling point.

Nice basketball court, studio, and pool. However, their weight lifting room is very limited. There are very few free weights, and they have no barbells. Its practically all machines. I go there for some hypertrophy and thats it.

Great place to go work out. Only $210 per year. They have good workout room for yoga and such. Have nice weight room and track for running or walking. I use the 25 yard, 4 lane pool. Have two lifeguards always on duty.

Wonderful facility for a work out of any kind. I use the pool the most and utilizing Michael Powell as a swim instructor was the best thing I ever did. Michael keeps you on task and when he can shares tidbits if you ask.

Im sure we would have loved it there, but we were given incorrect information a few days ago, as to when registration was open, now the classes are full that we needed. Extremely disappointed, Both my daughter and myself.

Good, cheap place to work out without having to buy an expensive membership. I love to use the dance room (fitness room), but they are changing their policy so that you cant use it any more. Why???

This place is a full on gym, complete with basketball courts, weights, machines, track, and swimming pool. You can enter by saying that you are a guest and want to take a look around.

More like the YMCA used to be. All kinds of people are here. Good facilities. The pool is good size and they have lots of classes. Very cheap for a yearly membership.

I started in the Senior Citizens water aerobics class! I graduated to swimming laps in the evening, usually Monday and Friday evenings. I am off to a great start

I enjoy coming here to swim. The shallow end is perfect for my daughter to swim around in and the water temp is always perfect.

Spacious rec center with lots of parking. You also got coffee shop across the street and a park next door to cool you down.
