From the reviews

…We love walking the track. It's a great track with 3 lanes. They have huge fans to move the AC cooled air around. There are all kinds of classes, a weight room and a swimming pool. There's something for everyone!

I love the workout equipment and the walking track. The equipment is all brand new. The outdoor walking track has gorgeous scenery that makes you feel like youre truly out in nature. 2My family has come here several times to swim and workout and we all love it.
