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.

Hyporcracy and Politics always rears its ugly head! The gym is very nice and we really liked playing games here in our nieghborhood! They did a very nice job on the weight room is it s a tad funkly configured and is upstairs but a nice place to get your lift on when so inclined! The pool is very nice and has a little water feature for the kiddies and a step up this rec actually has decnet locker rooms! Montebello Rec is the largest of the DPR rec. centers and one of the nicest. They have allot of programs for the community and this kids in it. We did basketball out of here until the coaching fell apart and once we took over coaching our kids our team was deemed too good and kicked out of DPR! Hypocrisy and Politics always rear there ugly head! The gym is very nice and we really liked playing games here in our neighborhood! They did a very nice job on the weight room it is a tad funkly configured and upstairs but a nice place to get your lift on when so inclined!

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. Here Piggy, Piggy LOL

We bought an annual membership at this center about a month ago and we love it! As far as the…read moreprice, we pay out of town rates and are thrilled with them. A few years ago we were members of Lifetime Fitness and let me tell you, those are the prices that are outrageous!! We have three adults and prepaid childcare for a 4-year-old and an infant and it is only $73/month!! So I don't know what the people who are complaining about the price are used to paying but the going rate now at Lifetime is $65/month for just the 1st person. Now, are the locker rooms nicer there, yes. Everything is probably a notch up there but this place is still wonderful for the price. I go at different times during the week and the only time that things have been a bit crowded was this last Sunday afternoon at the pool, but even that was not too bad. The track is nice. There are big windows and you can see the mountains as you walk. You can also pretend you are looking down at the basketball court as you look back to see if you are about to be lapped. You do have to ask for a code before going up but they tell you this if you come in and ask about the center. The pools are a bit chilly (granted it is the middle of winter and there are huge windows) but they are a good size and seem to handle the number of people. I swim every Friday with my 4-year-old and she is usually the only kid. The guards are very nice and very alert! They are constantly walking and counting the guests. I just started taking the interval class and the instructor is great. The people in the class are so supportive too. I am about 100 lbs overweight and was VERY self-conscious about being in this class, but complete strangers were smiling at me, giving me high 5's and when I went to grab my water one lady thought I was upset and leaving. She stopped her work-out to encourage me to stay. That is a pretty great community of people. My kids also love the child care. The workers are so kind. They have never acted put-out or frustrated at all. They seem to really enjoy the kids and mine asks almost everyday if she can go there. My biggest suggestion would have to be some customer service training for some of the front desk staff. I know they are busy and I'm sure they put up with a lot of stuff, but some of them act like they are constantly irritated no matter how polite you are. Again, I don't think that you can beat this facility for the price!!

I'm just not a fan... their swim area isn't ideal. They have a baby pool that's a very small space…read morebut also too much splashing to actually accommodate a baby... The wave pool is kind of cool however it is pretty narrow, and they allow kids to be extra rambunctious in there, which makes it more of a danger than anything. Multiple times I've been there, the lap pool has been closed, which has a rock climbing wall, which maybe could be cool but again it's always been closed. It's the only pool deeper than 3 1/2 feet. They have a small lazy river which could be fun however all kids have to be in a tube and that's just not for everyone. There's a sign on the locker room that says little boys six and under aren't allowed in the women's restroom... Maybe people are fine with that but my six-year-old son is too small to be alone. Also, the biggest turn off is that you have to pay even if you aren't swimming. My kids are smaller and so obviously need a parent, but I don't need to be in the water with them, and you still have to pay, regardless, which is just annoying and kind of a rip off. It's just not where I would choose again.

Today Nazi said they don't (who is she to say?) and charged me for a non-resident fee for them ...without saying that's what she was doing. I have paid Broomfield over $5,000 over the years to be a member, continuing to pay all thru Covid to be supportive without the benefit of being able to use the centers, and this is who greets you at the desk and decides your status. The b-rex online registrations are always!!!! horrible! Let's start with connection. I am sitting IN one of the rec centers right now, so they cannot blame this on my wifi. The sites are slow and not well designed, both of which lend themselves to their dropping you mid-attempt to register. Pointlessly very frustrating to have to start again three times before getting all the way through. The Bay and the rest of the Broomfield rec centers are not connected City entities?! What?! The equipment and pools are good. I especially appreciate the choice of water temps, and the first class lap pools at the BCC.

The only negative was graffiti around, including on the sidewalk (one special moron didn't spell the name right the first time, so there are 1.5 attempts there lol). Other than that, highly recommended!

Business owner doesn't even respond to this review. I guess he thinks this review is not important…read more What can I say? He's already breaking the state law and he don't care. He just wants your money. No wonder this business is failing because they treat the residence like crap. they have a lousy service recovery policy. Their lifeguard training is incompetent and I can give an example. This kid was drowning and instead of the lifeguard throwing them up a lifeline he drove in the pool to save the kid really this is the worst thing you can do because you might have two drownings. So it was a hot day 102° and according to the health department they're supposed to provide tapwater for drinking free instead they tried to charge me for water. They don't have enough handicap parking and I'm handicap. They asked me for ID and I showed them an extra have my brain bleed. They didn't care. They asked me if I was a resident and I said yes, and then they asked me do I have proof of it and I said yes here's my ID and the proof where I live. I said the water makes me dizzy. I'm just here with my kid. I don't even have a bathing suit. They still charge me to enter. It's ridiculous if I wasn't a resident I would go to someplace like Waterworld so I paid their extortionate prices to enter and watch my kid. I'm gonna report them to the health department. This is a business that we don't need in our city!

Lots of signs about checking phones during their workouts and I had to ask several people several whether they were finished. Just a bad habit I wished was enforced.

We called three and they were commencing lifeguards training. And also I didn't realize pools didn't open until memorial day. Luckily we called around and found this establishment was ahead of the program. This hidden gem saved the day as my godson's were leaving the state today. The facility was clean and the lifeguards seemed knowledgeable though not the friendliest. Neither was the front desk lady. One female lifeguard was friendly though. I understand rules for safety but one rule still has me baffled. My godson was using one of their floating devices in the lap pool and he was told only swimmers doing laps can use them. Not like anyone was doing laps and I didn't see any harm using it. The price was great as well. For my children ages 5, 8, and 10 was $12.00 for an all day pass. .
