Was led to believe the pool was Open! After getting all the way to the pool with two young kids were told we had to be waitlisted! Horrible! I am not even allowed to watch my own kids. Lifeguard shortage! The wait-list should be presented before we pay not after we get to the water!

Best Gym I have ever joined! If you know fitness there is no reason why you can’t workout there! This place truly has it all!

Great place for a workout and lots of spots to lift weights!!! Perfect for out of town visiting and something to do with kiddos. Wonderful facility

Great spot for the kiddos on a day you can’t get outside. Bouncy house on the weekends and a dedicated kids play area. Weights, pool, gym, courts for adults and teens.

After having the opportunity to speak with one of the managers that runs the rec center I wanted to update my review of the recreation center.

The Breckenridge recreation center offers a wide verity of recreational activities. They have a large campus that offers indoor and out door sports, they have a variety of work out equipment to choose from including cardio equipment, machine weight training, and free weight training. There is a rock wall that looks to have various levels of difficulty for you to train your rock climbing. In addition to the work out equipment the recreation center is equipped with a lap pool, hot tubs, sauna, steam room, basketball courts, tennis courts, racquetball court, and an indoor track. Just like other rec centers they offer fitness classes that are held in private rooms. The recreation center hosts a verity of children's camps during the summer that involve indoor and out door sports, activities, and education. These camps seem to serve children of all ages and are a great way to get your child involved in sports. All of the out door facilities are open to the public while the indoor facilities require a membership. For the price of the membership you will not find a better value in Breckenridge. The staff at the recreation center are very friendly and do a good job keeping the facilities clean and addressing any issues you may have. The equipment in the facility is in good condition and seem to be replaced frequently.

Now onto my personal experience at the recreation center. My primary use for the rec center is to do weight training. Unfortunately the weight training area of the rec center is smaller than desired, considering the volume of people that use it. As stated earlier the equipment is in good condition and there is a verity of options to choose from, but because of the size limitations of the rooms and the accessibility requirements of the ADA the rec center can only fit so much equipment and so that means there are not many duplicates of popular equipment. Because of this it is often hard to find open equipment during peak hours and sometimes off peak hours. I have personally had to cancel or reschedule my work outs because of this. In my conversations with the rec center management they seemed very interested in hearing what I had to say but unfortunately the best solution I got was to try to pick an off peak time to schedule my work out. My hope is one day the rec center can do a facilities expansion project and build a bigger weight room, but until that day comes patrons should be aware that if they are wanting to work out during peak hours or peak season they may have to wait to use the equipment.

Now you may be wondering why 3 stars then? Well here is an explanation of how I do my ratings.

1 Star = Terrible avoid at all costs.
2 Stars = Ok there's lots of room for improvement.
3 Stars = Good
4 Stars = better
5 Stars = best ive experienced.

Over all the rec center is a good gym and because I don't use the vast majority of the facility I can only rate them on what I do use, the weight room. I have had the pleasure of being a member at some incredible gyms in the past that focuses on having as much equipment as possible and unfortunately our rec center cannot compete with them. If you go to the rec center you will be able to get a complete work out in and if you enjoy more of their facilities you will no doubt have a great time there.
