From the reviews

…One of the reasons to feel good about being a VA Beach resident is that you get an annual membership for $120 and you get access to all the amenities (pool, gym, track, locker room, etc) and classes (tai chi, Zumba, yoga, etc ). Not only at this location but also other recreation centers as well!

…The gym has lots of space and equipment and the upstairs walking track is great. There's pickle ball, badminton, basketball, exercise classes etc and real nice outdoor tennis courts.
