No waiting in the hot sun for long periods of time! There's lots of shade around the edge of the pool. The grass is nice.

There's a cute wading pool perfect for babies. It's pretty warm. The lifeguards are very attentive & nice. Overall this is a perfect place to bring the family on a hot summer day. We like to pack a lunch or some snacks whenever we go.

This pool was perfect for a toddler, not too crowded, not a ton of teenagers, a graduated entrance where he could play easily, and he absolutely loved it. I'm not sure if they offer season passes but it was $11 for two adults and a toddler. Their prices aren't posted anywhere which needs improvement. They take cash and card as do the snack/soda machines. We'll definitely be back.

Paradise Hills Pool is a great option if you're on the westside. Reasonable admission fees, lifeguards on point paying attention, nice water slide, a few shady trees and covered table areas, it's a great spot to wear the kids out and catch a few rays. You can bring your own coolers, chairs and floatation devices!! They also serve free lunch in the summer lunch program inside the pool facility on the grass area during the week, and were even open 4th of July with a free popcorn and snow cone machine for the crowd. During the week it can get a little packed at times, try to get there by 12:30 or once they hit max capacity, you'll have to wait in line a bit until someone leaves.

The city advertises more lanes than is actually offered. The truth is all lanes are available…read moreFriday from 6pm to 6:30pm. Then, at 6:30 pm, you have four lanes devoted for lap swimming, however, two of these lanes are issued to a high school team which is supervised by a coach. So the truth is that from 6:30 pm to 8pm you offer 2 lanes for city lap swimming; unfortunately, that's not all. I spoke with David this evening who identified himself as the supervisor for the pool area; he is a respectful and a friendly young man. I explained to him that in the two lanes offered for lap swimming there are people doing calisthenics and jogging today but last week there were snorkeling. He explained, he meant to have his lifeguards enforce lap swimming but he has not done it yet. So in fact the Los Altos Pool offers the citizens of Albuquerque one lane of lap swimming on Friday from 6:30pm to 8 pm. I hope they update the description of what is actually happening so adults driving here are not surprised every week.

The pool and locker rooms are well maintained, and the staff is friendly. Prices range from $2 to $4.25 depending on age and sometimes event, and there are monthly passes. Seniors (60+) get in free.

This review will be broken down into many categories: Cost, Peak hours, cleanliness/condition of…read moreequipment, amenities, locker room/shower area, quality of trainers, cancelling membership, and final thoughts (Jerry Springer style!). After being a member for a few years, cancelling my membership and moving out of state, I've finally decided to review this club and my entire experience with it. Cost: This gym is definitely one of, if not the most expensive gym/club in the city. It was a bit over $100/month for me and my girl. Expensive, but looking back, I believe it was worth it. Why? Continue reading. Peak hours: Coming to the gym after work, weekdays between 5-7pm was manageable. I would usually be able to get what I wanted, when I wanted it. If something was being used, I would do something else, and a few minutes later, come back and it would be available. Defined Fitness was a nightmare. Yeah, Defined cost less, but during peak hours, the lines were 3 deep, and it got to the point that I cancelled my membership (probably in 2013-2014). Cleanliness: I've NEVER seen this gym dirty. A cleaning crew is always cleaning the gym. Any time there's ever been an issue with a machine due to normal wear and tear, it's fixed. I believe the company cares about the quality of the product they sell because of the way they keep the place clean. They've had issues with air conditioning, but that was resolved. I've seen cardio equipment break down, and within a few days it's fixed or replaced. A few years back, they also resurfaced/rematted the gym floor. Locker room/shower area: One thing I liked about the lockers, they have attached keys. Towards the end of my membership, they would actually assign a locker to you, and give you a key in exchange for your id, when you swiped in at the front. This was due to their old system in which people would take advantage of, by keeping the key to a locker, basically claiming that locker as their own. Lol. Perhaps this has changed????? Quality of trainers: Here is where they get a gold star. I've used their personal trainers, trainers that have degrees in kinesiology and sports medicine, and have certifications through the top certification companies. The trainers here know what they're doing. They even work with college students that are pursuing similar degrees, much like doctors working with interns. I thought that was great. When I was with Defined, I looked into the personal trainers at Defined, and some of the trainers at Defined have certifications that cost $200 and the test can be taken as many times as you want until you pass...what a joke!! Amenities: Their pools, one in and one outdoor are awesome. They have a two full sized indoor basketball courts, a hot tub, and sauna. One thing I really like about the club, which actually why I like calling it a club instead of just a gym, is that they have pool movie nights. They'll play a movie on an outdoor screen and you can chill on a float in the pool. They'll have bbq's and other events, and it makes the place more of a community. Cancelling my membership: Right before I moved from ABQ, if I remember correctly, I got the manager's email address, sent her an email saying that I'm cancelling my membership, and I think they took one more month of dues out. That was b.s., which is one reason I took off a star. Other than that, it was an easy cancel. Room for improvement: I think it would be great if they did what other gyms are starting to do, and do some HIIT classes, kind of like Orange Theory. Maybe they do, it's been a couple years since I've been there. Also, one time I took my girl's daughter to the pool, and we got charged $10, that was also a bunch of b.s. Considering how much you pay, if you pay for 2, you should be able to bring a minor to the pool without having to be charged extra. This is another reason why this is 4 of 5 stars. Perhaps the rules have changed. They should also be quicker to act on member suggestions, especially when a lot of members brought up a similar issue. I remember a few years back, they had some really crappy body wash in the shower. I know a lot of people complained, and complained for a long time. They eventually changed it, but it shouldn't have taken so long. Final thoughts: The membership cost changes the club clientele from that of a discount gym. The people that work there have always been wonderful, and have been a pleasure to engage. As I mentioned, I think there are some small things they can do to improve the overall experience. You definitely get what you pay for with this gym/club, and with that being said, the value is there.

Community space is so important!…read more The city did a really good job renovating the Wilson Swimming Pool located in the heart of the International District.

So, I (sort of reluctantly) used my workplace perks to get a fitness membership as a step to enable me to stay healthy. I like this gym because they have many different locations that you can go to within ABQ. There are also many different things that you can do at a gym, by they volleyball, swimming, squash, swimming, instructor-led classes, weight/strength training..and hot tub & sauna, etc. I particularly like that the gym is clean, never seemed to be so crowded at all. I've gone there during weekdays and/or weekends...and while weekends there seemed to be more people...there were plenty of room to choose and do your own exercise (partly because the membership here is slightly more expensive, too). Enjoy it a lot and excited to have my own peace exercising without judgement/crowd that usually turn me away from those establishments. Look forward to frequenting this place more often.
