Nicest people ever and the best spin classes. The female manager Lexi is just the best human ever!

Yes friendly staff to boot. I have always liked our recreation center. Best in east county

So, I've been coming to the rec center for the aquatic classes for a few months. The classes themselves are fun. The instructors we have had are pretty energetic and dynamic. The problem is this. Every time I've been there, one of many of the group of older women that are in the class are horrendously and egregiously rude. If it were just one of them, it might not be such a big deal, but, they seem to take turns being nasty and rude. They belittle and bully my friend, who has a strong accent. They have told her (and the rest of the group that I usually go with) and I quote, "shut the 'frack' (only, not such a nice word) up" for having fun in the class. A class that is taking place in a large pool, with loud music, lots of echoey sounds, and lots of people making noise from moving around in the water. They also got one of the regulars kicked out for a couple of weeks, because she was talking with a friend during class. After having this happen EVERY time we have gone, I am never returning to the rec center. The rude people have won, they can keep their rec center to themselves. It's such a shame, because I really like the rec center. But, I will not stand by and watch others behave like people who were never taught manners, or taught how to ask politely for stuff. It's really uncalled for to be so nasty. Especially from people who I would have thought are old enough to know better. read more

Great place to work out. Love the re-do of the equipment room and the addition of new machines. Though I haven't used the amenities much- I should. Great steam, sauna room, and pool. Lots of classes, too. The front desk people treat you like family. A+ read more

The Bob Burger Rec Center in Lafayette is fantastic! The workout facilities are great, and they offer a variety of good classes. They re-vamp every year and upgrade some equipment annually, which keeps things fresh. The youth sports program is the best, with tons of sports for the kiddos to try out every season -- soccer, basketball, baseball, flag football, etc. The youth sports philosophy for the younger kids (under 10) is to teach teamwork, skills, and have fun, while keeping score/competition is secondary. read more

I go there during Covid especially for Lonza Dennis's class. She makes body pump a good experience. It has become more like my exercise family that I meet up with once or twice a week. It keeps the isolation away. read more

I love the facility and its closeness, but, I am writing a review because the customer service there is about as low as is possible. At one point the life guard, for no clear reason at all, started trying to pick a fight with me instead of guard the lives in the pool. Because I have no idea who this person is, I thought he was joking at first....but, he persisted until I had to report is strange behavior to the front desk. Custumer service at the from desk has also been very strange and akward. I read another review that said the gym changed management and then after that has been "a total romper room"....Im not exatly sure what that is but, it sounds chaotic an unruly and I would say that is exactly how the staff is. It is like the entire staff is chornically depressed and dealing with mental health issues, is how it seems......not a good presence for trying to work out and create uplifted positivity, which is why I work out. I see the staff be "nice" (actually acknowlege you, without an akward attitude and tone of voice) to some people.....I guess it depends on what you look like, if that is going to happen or not. Even though it is as close to my place as one would hope for, if it does not change, I am going to canel my membership. There is one gentleman at the front desk who is particularly terrible, every visit, with out fail. The bad attitudes and poor mentality are just not worth it, especially at a Gym that is to be geared towrads health generally...not so much. Very cool facility located in a great community center complex....pretty terrible guest service, I would say for any business, but especially for a Gym. read more

My family loves this facility on the days that the weather won't let us play outside. That is because of the incredible indoor pool that they have! My daughter is their BIGGEST fan when it comes to the water slide. She will scurry up the ladder and down the two story twists of the water slide over and over again. Last time we were there I lost count of how much we went up and down - but I will never forget all the fun we had and her laughter! We also love the lazy river. Normally they have a great wading pool for the little kids, but that is closed for construction right now. I hope they open it again in time for winter! read more

Awful experience. If you're fortunate enough to read this go literally anywhere else. The lifeguards hate their jobs and roll their eyes, and had awful attitudes. It was worse than when subway messes up your sandwich, I believed that if I started drowning they wouldn't care enough to actually help. Created an environment that was toxic and unwelcoming, rolling their eyes and huffing and puffing like a 12 year old girl when asked politely to open up certain attractions or to clarify diving board rules. read more

Does have a family locker room with 2 restrooms, although both were extremely disgusting - hair all over the floor, used soap and wrappers, not enough trash cans. The pool had varying temperatures which was nice but the slides looked like they hadn't been cleaned in years - black around the edges. Also the large slide was disappointingly slow, the inflatables in the lazy river were half inflated and the water mushroom feature wasn't on. Be sure to wash towels and suits after because there is a lot of chlorine. read more

The gym itself is large and bright with the multiple windows. Overall, it's a great size to work out or jog indoors. The parking can be a bit hard during the peak hour but when you're lucky, there are available spots by skate park. They keep their gym and locker rooms clean. Have not been able to swim as the water and the pool area always feel too chilly. Kids seem not to mind it and like the river, slides and the kids pool. read more

I have been going to the rec center since I moved to Lafayette, they are constantly getting new, state of the art, equipment, have friendly staff, have good classes, raquetball, swimming. My only complaint is that I would love to swim in a bigger pool. read more

This is my favorite place in the area to soak in the outdoor ADULT only hot tub- it's like an amazing hidden treasure. Shhhh--- don't tell to many people read more

Sadly this used to be an amazing place to work out. It's convenient and the equipment is really amazing and well maintained. However, the management changed and now it is totally "romper room" this is a place where kids rule, period. The athletes and competent instructors have been forced out and now giant plasma displays and advertising posters wallpaper the place. It feels like a scene from the movie "Idiocracy", with the only maxim being the "almighty dollar". The focus is on making people feel good a-la-Chucky Cheese, not healthy and mentored. I would not be surprised to see a slushee machine and hotdogs vendors here soon. So unfortunate! read more

I like this place a lot. Big gym with a nice indoor running track. I mainly enjoy the large pool with the rock climbing wall, and the water slide. I give this place 4 stars instead of 5 because I think the yearly membership is quite expensive compared to other places. read more

Thanks, Without a doubt the BEST Aquatic facility in NW Denver Metro area-who knows, maybe the entire Denver area ( outside ADULT hot tub is outstanding, with strong therapeutic jets) Great river walk resistant water flow and wonderful steam room and sauna! Staff is always personable, enthusiastic and energetic! Kudos to RICH, CHRISTINA, and MARTY (Mr. Positive) Enjoy coming in to be greeted by your smiles! Regards, Bob Blank read more

I live east of Loveland and work in Louisville, so in the past few years I've worked out at every Rec center from Greeley to Boulder. BLB is the best value. There are nicer rec centers (Louisville or Loveland, for example), but they charge more (in the case of Louisville - way more). Lafayette does a nice job with an older facility. The equipment is always well maintained, up-to-date and everything is clean (which is more than some centers can say). read more

I go drop in fitness classes there. Love the staff & trainer there. Equimpnet is really new too & all the work they have done on the pool area is amazing. I would not suggest to use the child care there - it is very poor and lacking some basic stuff to do. Have taken my girls there for a couple of times, but they get bored there quickly because there is no quality toys ot things to do there. When working out - I try to make sure my kids are in the school, so that I do not need to feel quitly to leave them at the rec center child care. Would give 5 stars for facilty, staff & classes, but only 3 necuae of the child care! read more

The rec center has great customer service and awesome people. Their equipment is in good shape, although it does break on occasion. They have a good selection and good machines. Their indoor water area is amazing, great for both adults and children. There is also an outside adult hot tub, a nice break from how loud it can get inside with the children. Additionally, they have an off site outdoor pool which is open during th summer. My only complaint is that they have gotten billing for my household wrong on a number of occasions. It seems if you have more than one account with them it gets too confusing. Over all though, the staff is warm and friendly. They offer a lot of different classes and opportunities to participate as a group or by yourself. read more

For the last 23 years, i have not have to pay for a gym membership. 12 of those years, I was an indentured servant to 24 Hour Fitness. I can write this because they no longer have a hold on me. As an employee that is. What's a girl to do when she finds herself having to, gasp, workout like a normal person? I used to teach 13+ classes a week- that was my workout routine. Now, I drag my ass out of bed at 4:30 every morning and hit it like the normal people do, and... thanks to Bob's, my "normal " routine consists of riding the 1 out of 4 state of the art Spinning bikes available to every member, on top of smooth cable machines and an abundance of free-weights.,resistance balls, bands, and Bosu balls. Everything this FORMER instructor/personal trainer could want in a gym. On top of that, you are entering a yummy, happy, "so happy to see you" type of gig! I truly look foward to waking up and coming to Bob's, even at 4:30 in the morning.Love, love, love it! read more

This place desperately needs more space. It's great in that there's variety in activities and equipment, family friendly, and affordable. However for the serious weight lifter/someone really trying to get in shape, it's not great. Because of the lack of space, the equipment is dangerously close together. There's not enough of it, so what you want to use is often taken. If it's not taken, just because everything is so close, you can't use a machine or piece of equipment if someone is using the piece right next to it. Some equipment is upstairs, some downstairs. A lot of the equipment is quite old and rickety, and actually didn't feel safe to use. Lastly, I really don't like how the weight area is in the center of the main area. It feels like you are on display, like at the zoo. I ended my membership after just a few months because of these things. read more

I like the free weights, the stair masters and treadmills. I also like the track upstairs its convenient. The staff is nice.
