This review is specifically for the layout of the weights on the second floor. More specifically,…read morethe location of the bench press (2) and incline bench (1). The position of the two bench presses and incline bench are pushed up against the wall on the East side of the building. Right where the steel reinforcement beams are located which leaves NO space to safely spot your partner without hitting your head or back on one of those beams. You cannot even get behind them without crawling around the weights or beams themselves. This is incredibly dangerous and a major safety issue. Whomever designed the layout of the weight room does not appear to have experience with weight training. The nautilus machines and free weight areas should probably be switched. There is nowhere to safely stretch (people do it under the stairs) or do ab exercises, box jumps, etc. Someone, with knowledge of weight training, should redesign the space for efficiency and safety.

I've been going to this rec center for about a year now & I love it! This is a regional rec center…read morethat not only offers classes, workout equipment & a gym but it also has basketball, pickle ball, volleyball & an indoor pool with a lazy river. This facility has a wall of huge windows with a beautiful view of the mountains. It's kept up & clean. There's always plenty of parking...there are even charging stations for electric vehicles. Note, membership is free for Denver residents that are 60+ & those ages 5-18. With membership you have access to all 30 Denver rec centers & pools. I regularly go to two classes - one is a Cardio & Strength class & the other is Tai Chi, both are drop-in. The instructors are fun & very knowledgeable. Christine teaches the cardio class & always demonstrates modifications, so it's perfect for all levels of fitness. Maureen is very well versed in Tai Chi as well. This is a fantastic center with fabulous instructors.

My experience here is limited to the pool, but I use it pretty regularly. The water aerobics…read moreclasses with Gary are great! I also enjoy the warmer pool with the current where you can walk around. They have all sorts of equipment like pool noodles, weights, and kickboards. The parking lot can get crowded, but I've always been able to find parking when I go in the mornings. My one complaint is that I wish they advertised on their Facebook page if the pool hours are changing, a class is closed, or the pool is closed. I've gone all the way over there and found out that what I was going to do isn't an option that day.

I enjoy the lap pool. The water temperature is perfect, and the pool is well maintained. For the…read moregreat majority of I've swum there, the lifeguards have been professional and alert. There was a period a while back that the loud blaring of a boombox at the lifeguard's feet occasioned a letter of complaint to the Director (that was never acknowledged) telling him another letter was going to the Mayor if this practice wasn't immediately curtailed for safety reasons, let alone disturbing the peace. Today, a life guard was wearing a black hoodie underneath his Lifeguard sweatshirt, and sweatpants. Think about that for a minute. So, swim at your own risk. The people running the show have demonstrably very little safety concern for the welfare of their swimmers.

My son started swim class today at Beck Rec Center - I hope things get better. It wasn't an awful…read moreexperience, but it wasn't great either. The class itself was good. The time leading up to class was absolute chaos though. There were a set of classes that ended at 10:15 and then another set that started at 10:15. I would estimate probably well over 75 kids were either in the pool or on the pool deck - plus all the parents. Once it was time to start the next set of classes it was a nightmare trying to dodge kids getting out of the pool. I feel like there should be a better way to transition from class to class time. All-in-all it wasn't a terrible experience. We will see how the rest of the classes go.

Once in while DPR does a kids night out you can drop your kid under 14 here they can play and go nuts on a Friday night with other kids from the neighborhood. its $5 dollars and is worth it to get a breath of sanity from the kids for 3 hours! Overall its a good place to hit for a workout, they have aerobics a nice pool and a nice weight room all for once again the fraction of the cost of the national chain workout meat markets.

Nothing really stood out about the Expo, it's small, has some chairs to lounge in before classes and books to read while you're there. It's pretty dated as well so hopefully one day they will get a much needed facelift and expansion. This place has tons of potential but maybe not enough patrons?
