From the reviews

…There's an indoor fieldhouse, basketball courts, party rooms and concession stand and upstairs is the workout facility with a studio room and indoor jogging track. It's a brand new facility that is always clean with nice new machines, and is never crowded. Plenty of parking available too.

★★★★★ — Linda, May 2017

…The upstairs track is great for walking and jogging and the main workout area has lots of weights and machines. Great place to go get ripped.

★★★★★ — Jay, Feb 2019

…A+ All they need is a pool for lap swimming, and it would be the perfect gym.

★★★★★ — L, Feb 2025

…There's a gym upstairs if you’re feeling ambitious, a walking track if you’re not, and even a little playground to lose your toddler while you pretend to watch practice. Birthday parties here are a hit—kids leave hyped up on cake and competition. Only downside?
