This is a really great place to workout. While it is small in size, there is adequate equipment for a complete workout (you just need to learn how to use it). The people and staff here make it an enjoyable part of the day.
This is the smallest (by far) of all the VB rec centers. While that makes for a very close, friendly environment, it is still very small. Recent "innovations" by administrators have probably created more size related problems. Until recently use of cardio equipment was by sign-up. This is simply because there is only ONE or at most TWO pieces of each type of cardio equipment. At other rec centers there are rows of equipment. This change was done to "standardize policies", which seems to make as much sense as having a 16 month old and a 16 year old wear the same clothes because they're both 16. So far there has only been one day when I waited an hour, unsuccessfully, trying to do cardio. I fear that with the usual January rush (New Year's resolutions), and when other centers are closed the situation will be more of a regular occurance. When that happens I will change to the Hilltop Y. I wish more people would remember, "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it".
