Jacob was super helpful with a baby shower that we hosted this weekend! He was very polite and always willing to help!
I have been taking the 8 AM class with Shauna Utz for 7 years. In the first 8 months I lost 35 lbs. without going on a diet. We get a great workout and we also have fun.
One side aspect of taking this class is the COMMUNITY that Shauna has created. Everyone comes and feels welcome by all. Because of this COMMUNITY, we not only gather at 8 AM and get our great workout, we have an annual summer picnic and Holiday Party. I consider Shauna and the rest of the group some of my best friends and only have Shauna to thank for it.
I also take the 8:00 water aerobics classes and have been coming for 4 years. The instructor does an awesome job. I taught physical education for over 20 years and the hardest thing is to make your class fit the abilities of all the people. Our instructor not only runs the class well but takes time with the new people to help with their understanding of the exercises. She does use her phone to run the music for the exercises. I have been to other facilities and I always recommend SPJCC over the others. Keep up the good work
Normally I'm happy here. Though the staff never seems to be around upstairs when you need them in the evenings.
Need more spray bottles of the disinfectant instead of just the deposable wipes. There are certain individuals who hog the spray bottles and walk around with them like they own them, then they give you an evil look or make you feel uncomfortable when you want to use it. Like 3-4 more spray bottles laying around would solve that. Some of us are heavy sweaters and the disposable cloths just don't get the equipment cleaned down good enough for the person who's using it after us.
Middle school and high schools kids need to be supervised a lot more than they are. They run wild around this place, never wiping down equipment, hogging equipment, not putting free weights away, and just being flat out inconsiderate of the other members...typical kid stuff. Though the staff, as stated above, is never around to reprimand them or make it clear to them they need to follow the rules. All the signs in the world won't get a disrespectful kid to follow it. An adult calling them out in front of everyone does the trick, but it shouldn't be up to other members to confront these kids.
The recent facility closures (August 2018) could have been handled a lot better by the management. The posted notifications weren't very helpful except letting us know dates. Asking anyone working the desks what specifically was going on or what would actually be available to us when the second floor was closed was met with "I don't knows" all around. I asked in July 2018 what equipment might be brought down stairs and they had no idea. I ask the week before August 20, and they still had no clue. Come to find out none of the equipment was being brought down, which is understandable, but why none of the support staff around knew this was beyond me. I guess it's just typical city/government run need to know basis stuff, but it could of been handled a lot better and the staff could have been provided a list of everything that was going on so they could actually answer questions. Being essentially locked out of the second floor for two weeks and being offered no prorated rate for the month is the worst part. It's an expensive place to go and to still have to pay the full price for only half a month of use isn't very ethical in my opinion. Every member should have been given a 50% or more discount for the month of August 2018, but again its typical of anything run by a city/government entity.
I'll continue coming here until a better option becomes available. Planet Fitness' parking lot is always packed and is pretty much the main reason I keep coming here. If another gym opens up after the empty Mission Mall lot ever gets anything built there I'll probably go there. The weight machines over the last 10 years have been reduced from what they used to have to accommodate the senior living facility. The majority of the things they put in for the seniors are never used during the evenings. Waste of space!
Once the two new apartment complexes get finished (On Johnson Dr and on Martway) this place is going to turn into a mess. It will be over crowded and become very frustrating to workout there. Of course this is just a prediction, but if you build two apartment complexes one in front, and one behind this place, it's not going to make things any easier traffic wise.
In summary management just needs to a much better job making sure support staff can answer questions. Keep your people in the loop and make sure they are in the loop, quiz them to ensure they are in the loop, and retrain them as necessary.

Would like to see longer weekend hours

Building has a fantastic design, the outside of the building looks nothing like a typical community center. Great conference rooms for meeting spaces.

Great place to host your wedding or family reunion.
Lovely facility, great tour (thank you, Thomas), nice location & lots of activities.

I really like this place. The only issue is that there isn't a lot of kid things for my son to do that don't cost money. He can swim, and play in the racket ball courts. He has taken many of the swim lessons there and they are great.

The gym has everything I could need for a good workout! I do love it and would give it 5 stars, but the parking lot is very small. That's the only bummer!
Updated to 5 stars beside I've recently found out there is more parking on the other side of the building. :D
We rented a space for a baby shower. The process of reserving the room was easy and the staff was easy to work with. They refunded our security deposit within a few days of the event. I would consider this facility again for future events.
The level of pickleball was 3.3 -3.8. They don't mind if you play with a partner and they were friendly and fair. I had an excellent time. And I found parking right by the door. You I. d. Yourself with a finger print! They are a silver sneaker facility. The facility is in excellent condition. Floors and lighting are great. Four courts. Missouri needs to step up to the plate!
Nice atmosphere. Pool area could use more venting. Great workout area, walking track, very nice meeting and event rooms. Staff is very nice.
I wish they had towels to rent/use to shower with. The on-site daycare here is excellent.

Sylvester Powell is a terrific community center. They have it all! And, the staff is friendly and helpful, locker room is clean ... perfect!
I play basketball here with a group of guys Saturdays at noon during the winter. The courts here are nice, but there is no real three point line for the full courts. Other than that it's great.
