“Great swimming pool, workout area and ball floor.”

From the reviews

This place is great with a few caveats. First, the running track is at a 30° incline towards the center. I kept feeling like I was going to fall onto the basketball court. Second, the rock climbing wall has parts that snap or fall off regularly. Other than those two things, it's a pretty good gym.

★★★★☆ — May, Oct 2021

…They have a leisure pool and a lap pool. $10 for adults. $5 for kids. Workout area is nice. Pretty heavy on the rap music playing wherever you go. I guess BG livin that thug life Parking is $1 per hour. You have to pay the parking kiosk or pay online. 😆
