    Dimple Dell Fitness & Recreation Center - Fun beach entry pool for the little kids

    I went to the Dimple Dell Center to swim twice a week for a full year in 2023/2024. The women's…read morelocker room and the shower/restroom area often stunk of urine. This was really common and disgusting. One toilet stand was unbelievably dirty for 3 weeks until someone cleaned it. I put up with it until they cranked up the water temperature to 84F which made it impossible to do serious lap swimming. The pool managers I spoke to about it were extremely rude. My notes about the smell of urine didn't seem to make any difference. The front desk people were nice but calling to ask them about the pool availability was useless as they would give me incorrect info. By comparison, the Gene Fullmer's Center where I went to for a year prior to DD was perfectly clean, only more crowded.

    If looking for something to fill your schedule with a quick and fun trip to a recreation center,…read morethis place is a must. They have wall climbing which we didn't get to try since we arrived to have a couple of hours of swimming before closing. They have lap pools for adults and right size of toddler swim/play area and regular pool. There was a birthday party during our visit and the room was big. The restrooms/shower room looked spacious. We didn't have to use the shower or restroom. Entrance fee is not minimal and varies (kids, adult l, senior). No parking fee and with big parking space. .

    Great rec center. We love the indoor kids pool, lazy river, and slide. My only complaint. I wish…read morethey would be like the bountiful rec where they allow kids under 48" on the slide if accompanied by an adult. Kids are always so excited to go, then so dissapointed when we say they can't go on the slide. Their first arguement is always "we did on the other one, why not this one?" But the pool is maintained well, and comfortably warm.

    Great facility with lots and lots of fitness options. Cardio machines (treadmills, bikes, rowing…read moremachines, ellipticals, etc.) and a walking/running track make up the upstairs part of the building--this is a great place for parents to watch their kids play basketball while they get in some exercise. On the lower level, there is a lap pool and a kids pool (complete with water slides and a lazy river), a weight room, basketball courts, and a high-fitness area (with TRX, punching bags, battle ropes, and the like). The basketball courts are fantastic and have a lot of hoops to practice on. While the weight room doesn't have as many machines as the cardio area upstairs, there are a decent amount of free weights and I rarely see machines broken; I've never seen a machine out of order for more than 24 hours, so the maintenance staff is really on top of things. In addition to these open areas, which are all included with paid admission (daily costs are $3 for children under 12 and $5 for adults), the Park Center offers a variety of fitness classes, including Zumba, water aerobics, spinning, HIIT, and more. I love this gym because of the assortment of activities, the friendly staff, the non-crowded atmosphere, and because you can purchase monthly memberships without worrying about contracts and fees like other gyms.

    The Student Life Center is located near the Fort Douglas trax station, so it's convenient to park…read moreat the Rice-Eccles Stadium and trax up to the gym if you don't want to pay for parking at the Life Center (only about $2.50 an hour). There is U Parking available on the other side of the Life Center. It's also possible to walk to the Life Center since it's not too far from the HPER buildings and the WEB & MEB buildings. The outside of the building is very modern and nice. It's very eye-pleasing... Low key makes me happier about coming to the gym since it's so nice and for "free" too, since it is included in my tuition. The building has multiple floors dedicated to different athletic activities. I usually go to the 3rd floor, which I believe is the weights floor. They offer so many options for strength training and I never have to wait for any cardio-based machine. There are other fun services to utilize at this gym. There is a basketball court right next to the weights area. There is a physical running track above the weights area, if you're looking for more of a physical run than machine-based cardio. The boxing room with punching and speed bags is down on the lower level. The swimming pool can be seen from the upper levels. There is a rock climbing wall and a place to rent gear for winter activities, like snowboarding and skiing. I've listed so many pro's about the place, but the one bad thing about this gym is that it gets so packed at certain times, which isn't unusual for a gym; all gyms struggle during busy times, but I believe the amount of options the gym offers helps combat this problem. I have been to many other gyms like recreation center gyms, VASA, Planet Fitness, etc, but I believe nothing can beat the University of Utah's gym. Haha I don't know what I'm going to do when I graduate.
