From the reviews

…Olympic size pool, indoor soccer, basketball courts, racquetball, indoor track, rock climbing gym, and outdoor fields make up this incredible place in addition to weights and workout machines.

★★★★★ — Christian, May 2018

Great place. Has a pool, climbing wall, track, weights, cardio machines, basketball court, racquetball courts, etc. Never ever forget your ID!! You will not be let in without your ID.

★★★★★ — Julissa, Jul 2018

…There are: plenty of free weights, strength machines, cardio equipment, an indoor track, rock climbing wall, basketball courts, racquetball courts, swimming pools, two sets of locker rooms (with lockers you can rent for a semester), group classes, and more I'm sure I'm missing.

★★★★★ — Chris, Jun 2017

…The racquetball courts (three of them) are cleaned well and the pool (two 25m pools, about 8 lanes each) are in good condition. There is even an amazing rock climbing wall located below the entrance that as you walk in you will see the peak of the tower to your left.
