The staff is especially courteous and does a pristine job keeping the facilities clean and in order. My experience at Montanoso was different than at other gyms because the other members were all so friendly. I personally needed to practice at a gym with a pool and enjoyed doing it at Montanoso Recreation Center.

When moving to MV my husband and I prioritized finding a small gym with a good variety of…read moreequipment. We don't like large corporate gyms and wanted to try a smaller one. Montanoso has a few classes and a good mix of machines as well as free weight stations. They have free swim which is great for my husband who loves doing laps early in the morning. We also enjoy going to swim in the afternoon with our girls. I do wish free swim hours applied for kids in the morning during summer time. There's also a cute little splash pad for the kids to play in which I love. Overall, montanoso provides great value for the price. I also love that there's no monthly commitment.

I started a membership there a couple of years ago, but started using it more regularly recently. I…read morelove this gym. Small and it is never bursting at the seams. My son uses the larger one on Montanoso (SP?) and he favors that that due a larger variety of machines. At La Sierra , the weight machines are new, and there are free weights. Duplicate bikes, stair climbers, and tread mills round out the equipment. If you like classes, those are available at the Montanoso facility. A nicely kept patio is adjacent pluse a large pool, with cabanas and table seating. Pickle ball courts are available as well. The amenities are well worth more than the $30.00 monthly fee I pay. (Retired, so maybe that's why it's so low?) Check it out.

This place is lame. The employees make everything as easy on themselves as possible as opposed to…read moreserving the people that pay to use the place. We visited the Sierra rec center pool on Father's Day, 2026. The lifeguards made the swimming experience very annoying and unpleasant. We had called earlier and the receptionist said they had a water slide. When we arrived, we found 2 lifeguards standing around chatting while no more than 10 people swam in a tiny little cordoned off "rec swim" area while one of the 10 swam laps and essentially had 85% of the gigantic pool to himself. One of the lifeguards (a shorter portly gentleman, dungeons and dragons type) said the slide is closed Sunday because they didn't have the staff to man it...he said this as lifeguard 2 decided to join in our conversation because he had nothing else to do. Then we learn that even if we are with our kids, they can't get in the hot tub....ok. We were there a total of 2 hours and the dungeons and dragons lifeguard came to talk to us 4 times about any number of petty little issues - none of which amounted to safety issues. Then they kicked everyone out 15 minutes early so they could go home. D & D lifeguard said they closed early so people had the chance to "use the showers"...I'm sure it would be a huge deal for these people to have to stay until 5:05-5:10...this place is lame, we will tell everyone we know and we won't be back.

We had a good time! Came right at opening to take advantage of happy hour. Only played one game…read morecause the people in my party were TIRED from all that running. For me it was worth the price (especially at discount) as it was different from your typical OC activities, but still fun all the same. I don't recommend it for team building if you're any kind of competitive cause I was super annoyed that my husband kept stepping on lava :P Honestly, dollar for dollar it's a better deal and MUCH more interactive than bowling and mini-golf. Also much appreciate the calories burned!

We came here for my birthday and rented a small private room for an hour. There was an option to…read moreadd 30 minutes, but honestly we were pretty tired by the end so an hour was enough for us. It was five adults total--my mom wasn't able to play since she's disabled, but the staff was really accommodating, and we just left the door open so she could sit and watch us play, which worked out perfectly. The games were really fun, and the customer service was great--super friendly and helpful! We had previously tried Activate (which is similar), and I'd say we actually prefer the grid-style game at Activate since it feels more competitive. With RGB Run, the game started to feel a little repetitive after about 30 minutes, so I think it's more geared toward a shorter, one-session experience rather than a full hour. The main reason we chose RGB Run was because they offer private rooms, which is a huge plus. I didn't realize, though, that you're limited to just one style of game when booking, so I was a little disappointed they didn't have the specific game I had hoped for. That said, we still had a really fun time and I'd definitely recommend it for groups who want a private experience. Overall, a really enjoyable spot for something different to do with family or friends. I'd give it 4 stars--mainly because of the limited game options--but everything else (especially the service) was great!

We hit up Vista Hermosa Sports Park recently, and I've got to say--it checked all the boxes for a…read moresolid family outing where everyone leaves tired and happy (which, let's be honest, is the goal). Courtney's Sandcastle Playground: This place is a gem. It's gated (HALLELUJAH), shaded, and inclusive, which means every kid can enjoy it. My littles were obsessed with the pirate ship and musical areas, while my older two found enough to climb, spin, and race on to keep them out of each other's business. Bonus: there's a splash pad section for warmer days, and YES--there are actual bathrooms inside the play area. Moms, you know why that matters. Sports Fields Galore: If you've got kids in sports--or kids who just think they're in the Olympics--this park has huge open fields, soccer goals, and space to sprint until they collapse. We brought a ball, and suddenly everyone forgot they were "too hot" or "too tired" to play. Magic. Walking Trail: There's a nice little loop path, perfect if you've got a stroller crew or you're pretending you're getting your steps in while bribing toddlers with snacks. Aquatics Center Right There: We didn't do the pool this time, but the Aquatics Center is literally steps away. So this spot could easily turn into a full day outing if you're feeling brave (or caffeinated enough). Parking & Setup: Easy parking, tons of grassy space for picnics, and plenty of shade for those of us who are just there to supervise and hand out snacks. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. It's a rare combo of being actually fun for the kids and not a total sensory overload for me. If you're looking for a place that wears your kids out without wearing you down, Vista Hermosa is it.

I kept finding little hidden gems sprinkled across the grounds and the building. The patio is lit with fairy lights and actually comfortable seating options.
