They also have a nice small play area for kids on the way in.

My family was excited to come try this gym since we are moving to the area, ended up being the…read moreleast favorite climbing gym we've been to so far, primarily because of these points: -What the heck with the pricing?! Crazy money for what you get. The most expensive gym we've ever been to by A LOT and couldn't find an explanation for why, they don't have anything any other gym hasn't had in the area, in fact it was lacking in some amenities IMO -the rating system was absolutely not accurate for bouldering, we have a variety of climbing levels in our family and the inconsistency with the ratings was insane, not a whole lot to climb if you are a v3/4 or under, felt like the route setters don't understand what a lower level is capable of. -it was packed, really really packed. -my daughters were disappointed there were no auto belays, which is a strange choice in that type of facility. -overall no one acted like there was any kind of community experience, not a seemingly very social place, everyone seemed to be in their own little space. Just overall a very weird feeling for a climbing gym. It was pretty and sure it has a ton of rope climbing but overall I'd pick a different gym without hesitation for the money.

It's very important that people understand your children will not get "swim lessons" like you think…read morethey will. This was not clear to us when we signed our kids up. By the end of 6 months, neither of them could use a kick board much less know any actual swim strokes. That said, they learned valuable water skills. Water safety, PFD usage, floating and other water-related lessons were given by the instructors. However, it was clear the weekly lesson plan was pretty loosey-goosey. When we felt our kids were getting repetitive lessons and weren't advancing, we asked how they tracked advancement and it was pretty they didn't beyond "I remember what they did last week". The format is about 45 minutes of class and 10 minutes of just fun time. The kids loved it. Each lesson had 1, sometimes 2 teachers, for 3-4 kids. The facility is very cool. The pool is very cool and there's plenty of room for parents to watch. They have lots of PFDs, floats, toys, and other water things. In terms of cost , it's very expensive compared to swim lessons at the rec center. And even further, it's run like a contracted gym membership, meaning when we told them we were taking the kids out of lessons, they insisted we owed 1 additional month fees because didn't give them a month's notice. So, we basically paid $400 to get out of a "contract" we never knew we signed. In the end, we felt the kids learned exceptional water safety lessons that they would not have learned in a rec-center style class. But we also felt they didn't actually learn how to swim. I think 2 months of weekly lessons here supplemented by swim lessons at a rec center would be best for giving your kids swimming and water safety skills.

I put my daughter in this program, with Coach Courtney, when she was about 8 years old. She was…read morestill a little uncomfortable treading on and swimming in water. We spend lots of time at big lakes and the Pacific shores, and I wanted her to be more comfortable around moving currents and waves. These lessons focus on that: Rivers, lakes, oceans, currents and under currents. She learned how to navigate stressful situations with confidence and it was pivital in her healthy relationship with water. She's a fish at the lake now, and we all feel safer knowing she's got foundational skills that can help save her life when the water gets rough.

The courts are impressive. The saunas and pool are in great condition. The free-weight section has everything you could possibly want. The number and types of machines are state-of-the-art, nothing appears to be neglected, and everything operates smoothly. Whether you're a beginner or hard-core about your training, you will find exactly what you need in this facility. Additionally, the cardio sections are very nice with plenty of screens to keep your mind occupied. The Whitlock Recreation Center, in general, is spotless -- the floors shine, the dressing rooms are impeccably clean, and the equipment is gleaming. Needless to say, I can't cover everything -- they have it all! I highly suggest that anyone who wants a first-class recreational environment to check it out for yourself. I've worked in and worked out in fitness centers and gyms for 50 years, and I've pretty much seen the full range of what these types of places have to offer. If you decide to go, tell them you read Bonnie's review. There's nothing in it for me to write this, except the satisfaction of commending Lakewood for this wonderful place and that, hopefully, consumers will be more fully aware of what they may be missing out on.

In just one 30 minute lesson she was so much more comfortable in the water and actually started learning that very first day.

The instructor is patient and skilled with young children. We're thrilled with the progress we've seen in our granddaughter as well as the other children in her class.
