TOUCHDOWN on my end!!! This rec center is newish (opened maybe 2/3 years ago), clean, and has state of the art equipment that works (unlike other fitness centers). Membership ranges depending on how long you want, but my family and I purchased the Family Package Deal--$40 for 4 people for 1 month (tongue twister). GREAT DEAL!!! All classes are included in the membership at no extra charge, which is awesome! They offer a range of classes from zumba, step, body blast, spin, and circuit training, and core training. All are super fun and you are definitely sweating at the end of them. There are also 2 basketball courts with open gym, a ping pong table, and an air hockey table. The staff is super friendly upon walk in and are willing to give you a tour of the place if you are having doubts. Again, the place is CLEAN. I hate going to work out at a gym and the place smells like straight up feet with debris on the ground as you are trying to run on the treadmill. Throwup. No, the ground is aways free from any junk, and the people who work out here are respectful. After each use of the equipment, they are running to get a wipe to wipe down the machine. THANK YOUUUU. No slipping off the leg extension machine from the previous person's sweat. So, why 4 stars?? Well, after I work out I like to go shoot hoops after. Basketball courts were closed for 2 days straight. After the 2 days, they opened up again but with a limited time frame (5am-11am Mon-Fri; 7-10pm Sat-Sun). WHATTTTT?!?! I talked to the front desk lady, who explained to be that a 25ish year old man and a 17ish year old boy got in a fight during a pick up game, resulting in the limited hours. Why did management not just take away their memberships? Supposedly the city (since they own the place) asked for management to do so. Who knows how long this will be enforced, because the front desk lady was giving out names and contact info on who to complain to. All in all, this is a great place to get in shape and lose the fat. Gotta look good for the summer!!!

It's also nice to lounge around & chat before leaving. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They also have yoga, cycling, and HIIT training.

Reformer pilates kicked my butt. I wonder who designed these intricate contraptions. My friend…read moreasked me if I wanted to do an easy or hard class, and I told her I wanted to do a hard one thinking it couldn't be that bad. I was wrong. The burn was unreal. It was a total body workout with a lot of lower body (incredibly painful), a good amount of abs, and some upper body at the end. My friend has the most basic membership that costs $145/month for 8 classes. This seems like a reasonable price for group classes. The studio has other kinds of classes too, like spin, yoga, and HIIT. The instructor was nice, and she explained how to use the reformer. She came to correct and assist me a few times, which was helpful. One thing I struggled with was that there were no beginner modifications given at all. There were only normal options given with advanced modifications. It would have been nice to have the option to use a lower resistance or do an easier modification. While I know I could just adjust the resistance on my own, I would feel like I'm not following the instructions correctly by doing so. There was also no cooldown or stretch at the end of the class, which I am normally used to in fitness classes. Apparently it costs around $18 to buy a pair of grip socks on site. You can get a pack of three for $10 on Amazon, so I think this discrepancy is unreasonable. I understand that boutique studios want to sell boujee, high-quality gear, but they should at least have something affordable especially for the people who are just trying out their first class. I would much rather wear some used (but washed) loaner socks than pay that much for a "fancy" pair. I have heard about people not being aware they had to bring their own grip socks to class, so they were cajoled into buying socks at the studio.

I'd love to give this gym a higher rating because it's my gym. I want to take pride in it…read more Unfortunately, the owners don't seem to take pride in it and I'm not sure I can make up for that. My favorite thing about this place is that it is so rarely busy. I really enjoy being able to try out new equipment without feeling self-conscious, having my pick of equipment, etc. I was once bouncing back and forth between the abductor and adductor and someone wanted to use one of them, I told them I was happy to just finish on one and then come back to the other and they said they'd do their next machine and come back. That doesn't happen at busier gyms. It is a very co-op feeling space and I love the camaraderie. I also love that it is open 24-7. I think that also makes it feel more like the space of those using the gym. It's kind of like our gym and we all love it. However, the gym is grimy. The machines are old. They are squeaky, outdated, and don't operate the same way machines do at newer gyms. The free weight section leaves something to be desired - give us some barbells with weight already on them, etc. It's got a really solid apartment gym vibe. It has the essentials. Is it ever cleaned? I'm not sure. I wipe down my machines after I use them. I don't dust the windowsills and it doesn't seem anyone else does either. I'll keep using this gym because it's the only actual gym I've found in Belton. The price is fine if you have 2 people. It's great if you have a family. If it were just me, I would be very unhappy paying the monthly rate compared to chain gyms in Temple, but the location can't be beat because again, it's the only gym in Belton. Also, since they seem to really want everyone to feel ownership in this gym, I'd love for them to take down the "Biden Sucks" flag as working out shouldn't be politicized. There are a lot of people in Belton with a lot of different beliefs, and very, very few people are arguing about politics at the gym. Let it be a gym for everyone.

The gym itself is in a collection of garages behind a Wal-Mart, but has quite a bit of space inside and out. Pull up bars and plenty of room to run and play in the field outside, giant tires strewn about...Inside they have maximized the space by putting equipment in a small separate room and building the oly platforms right into the floor. I suspect this may be the only CF box in Belton, but if I were an athlete in Temple, I'd get my butt here pronto - it's an A+ facility for Crossfit that has just added an elite element for weightlifting.

I was visiting from out of town and decided to drop in for a class…read more I called the gym prior to dropping in to find out if I needed to arrive earlier than the class time listed on the website to loosen up or if it was okay to arrive at the class time listed. Showing up at the time the class is listed is fine. You are actually warmed up by an instructor prior to the workout. The instructor for the 1930 class on Monday was Tony. He warmed us up with some light kettle bell swings. He also cooled us down after the workouts as well. Both of these add a bit of community to the gym which is nice. Prior to the workout, I heard the dreaded "find a partner." I say dreaded because I was the new person! I didn't want to be the person standing awkwardly alone in the corner. :D Luckily that was not the case! I was quickly snagged by a friendly person. She was hella strong too! :D The workouts were challenging. This night there were two workouts. I don't know if that is the norm or not. The class size was about 12 people and there was one instructor. Fit and Strong is how I would describe members of the class. Everyone was positive and encouraging. The gym had a good vibe and I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to drop in.
