Millcreek Community Center serves the community in many ways, as a library, a senior center, and a…read morerecreational center where you may walk the track, work out in the weight room or take yoga or aerobics classes. Did you know that the heating and air conditioning system is one of the most efficient systems in operation? It uses water pumped far underground in a sealed loop to reject heat in the summer and retrieve the heat for warmth in winter. There is also a very large solar array on the roof to help cut electrical costs. I'm proud to have been servicing the HVAC system there since the center opened its doors, I love keeping everyone comfortable and I love this center!

Not to be confused with the Millcreek Activity Center, which is much more South…read more There is a lot to like about this place. It's off (way off) the beaten path, so you have to go here on purpose, which limits traffic considerably. If you're trying to get back on the fitness bandwagon, this is a great place to start as you can either jump in on classes or put yourself through the drills (what I did) at your own pace. There is a modest locker room and a modest gym, which is good for the lower levels of stuff or if you just want to maintain. It also adjoins the East Millcreek Library and there are a few other things out on the complex, such a track and a basketball court and it's surrounded by some pretty cool woods. I really enjoyed the low key nature of it. On the bad side is what happens a lot with REC Centers and that is that they can become easily crowded (somewhat rare for me and I was able to work around it) as well as reaching a point where I was overpowering the equipment. That this is designed around more modest physical activities is both a blessing and a curse there and while it was great to get back into the swing of things (and maybe I'll wind up utilizing it again for that, once my son is old enough) without breaking the bank, it can only serve that purpose, which means time will be necessarily limited if you intend to move beyond. Staff also could get a bit surly about things, though I don't suppose that is really the fault of this place. It's a nice little place, all in all, but definitely mileage will vary.

We are an Asian American family and I felt like we were being targeted because there were a bunch of other "non minority" kids playing football and running into people but none of them had said a word. She just had her eyes on us the whole time. He already has a swim pants on and then I said that she seen us enter and we were sitting down in front of her face the entire time why she didn't say anything when we first got in. she was there and seen us but didn't say anything until my son started to have fun. I didn't like the experience so we left. She was a blonde girl between 5'6 - 5'7 monitoring the kiddie pool around 1:15pm 12/30/24 The prices are affordable and the place seem really decent enough I'm just not happy with the worker that told us right when I finally got my son to open up. It took a long time to show him the water was ok. He is non verbal so to see him smiling and having fun then being told he can't wear that already an hour in, hurts.

The Student Life Center is awesome and has everything I need to maintain a healthy lifestyle during such a stressful time in my life. The first floor is where you can find a boxing room, racquetball, the pool, and basketball court. There is a large locker room that adds convenience and ease, whether you wish to go swim laps or simply relax in the hot tub. The main floor houses a few chairs and tables you can utilize if you need a quick study sesh. A nice little cafe where you can grab a smoothie on your way out really compliments the whole "healthy lifestyle" everyone strives for. The second floor is where you get your swole on. Lots of cardio equipment (treadmills, bikes, rowing machines, and ellipticals), free weights, weight machines, mats and foam rollers, and plenty of cubbies if you brought a bag and need to leave your stuff. The third floor is where the running track is located and a few foam boxes if you believe "HITT training is the shizzzz"! TIPS & TRICKS: * There is a small room on the second floor called "The Core", it provides anyone with a more secluded area if you're not one to show off your bod. * Even if you aren't a student, you can purchase a pass at a very cheap price. Unfortunately no classes are included with your pass, a con for sure. A significant other pass is $60 for a semester. * The location is great, you can ride Trax or the UTA buses and get dropped off just a hop, skip, and a jump away (gotta get warmed up before you head in)!

9/7 Update: Cathy Waters, the Manager of The Gym has terminated my contract and had me escorted…read morefrom The Gym because of my honest and thorough review. I've worked out at Golds, Eos, Vasa, Planet, and 24 in the last few years. This is my second time being a member of The Gym and I'm regretting it more than the first time. The Gym is by far the worst managed gym out of all the choices you have along the Wasatch front and at their price point I expect a lot more. Entrances: there are two entrances to the gym. One on Regent Street with two elevators that go to the third floor where the gym is located. These doors lock in the late afternoon causing you to be forced to use the second entrance further north. This entrance is accessed through the busiest elevator at the mall. Expect to wait 3-5 minutes during prime time or even more during the holidays. The gym itself: It's dirty, poorly managed, and the equipment isn't maintained well. Here is a list of things currently broken or needing attention: Hip abductor linkage is worn out and causes lots of play making it unusable. I pointed this out to maintenance staff in June. Still not fixed. 9/5/20 Seated leg curl has been broke for three weeks. 9/5/20 Handles on lateral raise machine won't adjust making it difficult to use depending on your height and frame size. They tried a cheap fix by putting oversized bolts in it but actually made it worse as now the handles don't adjust at all. 9/5/20 The 5 lb adjustment on the laying leg curl Machine is missing the non-removable spring loaded pin. Currently there's some random pin in it that you can completely remove allowing the weight to drop unexpectedly. 9/5/20 Multiple incline benches are missing their knobs making adjusting the bench difficult and risk pinching your fingers. 9/5/20 Worn out, cracking vinyl on multiple benches. 9/5/20 The foot plate on the calf raise machine is missing 2/3 bolts holding it on the machine and is very loose. If that last bolt shears off like the other two, someone gonna get hurt. 9/5/20 Both non-removable pins on the lat pull down machines are missing and have random pins from other machines in them allowing for lots of play when you use it. 9/5/20 Worn out pads on pat pull down. These have been like this since 2018. 9/5/20 The north decline bench presses is missing a pad making it unusable. 9/5/20 One of the two stair masters isn't level and wobbles while you're using it. I'm writing this review on it now. Wobble wobble wobble with every step. 9/5/20 Emergency stop button on stair master doesn't work. They covered it up with black electrical tape instead of replacing the button. 9/5/20 The two spin bikes in the Cardio Cinema are unusable. 9/5/20 Vibration Plate hasn't worked for over a year. 9/5/20 Multiple drinking fountains are missing activation buttons. 9/5/20 Steam room in men's locker room has been broken for well over a month. 9/5/20 It's always hot as hell. As I wrote this review, it's 76 degrees in the area with all the cardio machines. 9/5/20 This gym could be great but it needs better management and some capital investment instead of it being used as a cash cow like it is now.

I add my voice to the countless others in stating that The Gym has great potential under proper…read moremanagement. The space is large, with many desired amenities, and a great equipment selection (although under serious decay). This was the gym that Salt Lake needed, when it first opened. However, maintenance and the addressing of member concerns are of little concern to Cathy, the manager. The Gym has an unfortunate monopoly, allowing the institution to move forward with little consequence, paying no heed to member-realized issues. They rely heavily on large company contracts, giving little concern to those of us who individually pay for this "premium" space. There is a full-time maintenance manager, I repeat a FULL-TIME maintenance personal, but you would never know it. The facility to sorely under-kept. The showers are molding, in desperate need of a cleaning and re-caulking. Equipment will remain under "repair" for weeks on end, and up until recently, the space was filthy. They have recently hired a seemingly full-time cleaner, Claire, who is a sweetheart and does a wonderful job in dusting and wiping down equipment. However, after so many years of neglect and lack of concern, management has allowed a culture of not cleaning up mutual work spaces to grow. Weights and other items are left strewn everywhere. Towels are often ripped and should be referred to as a hand-towel as they are barely large enough to wrap around one's body. The hot tub has been down for over two months, and the steam room has been non-functioning for over two weeks, with no notice or email sent to members keeping us abreast on the situation, offering apologies for the inconvenience. Instead time and resources are focus on silly line-items such as ensuring the light in the sauna stays on and is bright enough to perform open-heart surgery, or ordering hideous, unnecessary furniture and art. Further evidence of mismanagement is seen in the fact that they have a very difficult time keeping employees. Workers seem to stick around but a moment. I am anxious to see their monopoly pedestal erode with Eos announcing its move to purchase the 24hr fitness space in trolley square, opening 2024. You've got a year Cathy, to show us how great this gym can be, otherwise you'll watch as all the gays take our business to a cleaner, newer space. It's also key to note that I'm posting this review, concerned that I will be revoked of my membership for letting my voice be heard. I should never feel as such, under any circumstance.

I debated on sharing this spot because it is such a hidden gem and it's not crowded like Liberty…read morepark. However, I think more people need to see the beauty of this park. It is absolutely stunning. You can see from North Salt Lake to almost Eagle Mountain. My favorite time to go is about 30 minutes before sunset just because the views of the sun setting in the west with the city in the foreground...that's a sight to see. There's a walking area that brushes the perimeter of the park as well...or I guess you can run if that's your thing. There's a nice little playground for the kiddos and a paved basketball court as well! When I visit here, I also see people pitch up a hammock...which this is a great spot to do it because there's lots of trees and they're spaced out perfectly for a hammock! There's also a nice little open area for soccer or whatever else you are feeling that day! Parking is super convenient; I've never had an issue with it! You are able to park on the south or north side of the park! I recommend going to the northeast side of the park as that is where you will see arguably the best view in the entire city!

Being the neighborhood gym, it is not too shabby, in fact, it is pretty decent and well equipped. It is located within Centennial Park and is right next to the West Valley Accord Ice Skating Rink. This gym has all the necessities and has a decent price for entry compared to other gyms. Here are the perks: The Good 1. Large parking lot 2. Pool -- One for kids with a large slide, small lazy river and other kid friendly water contraptions. The other for laps and playing marco polo or water basketball. There is also one hot tub. 3. Two levels of equipment -- Top floor is filled with cardiovascular equipment such as: ellipticals, treadmills, stationary bicycles, and a small track. The bottom floor has weight lifting equipment and free weights. All equipment are in good condition. 4. Great for kids -- If you have kiddies running around there is a massive playground for them to lose all their energy. The playground is big enough that they could get lost in it. Seriously. They also have a daycare and day camp for kids. 5. Racquet Ball courts that you can reserve beforehand. 6. Rock climbing wall 7. Small indoor track 8. Many different programs such as cycling, zumba, water aerobics, etc. that you can sign up for at a decent price. 9. Plenty of free lockers so bring your own lock! There are also some to purchase if you want to as well. 10. The facility doesn't smell like b.o. 11. Right next to a skating rink so you can skate afterwards too. 12. Located within Centennial Park so you have access to two play grounds for kids (one of which has swing sets), bbq areas, tennis courts, a bike/running trail, wide open spaces for ultimate frisbee or other sports. 13. Close enough to Walmart so you can do shopping afterwards if necessary. Two birds with one stone, right? The Bad 1. Saturday it closes at 9 pm and Sundays opens at 10:30 and closes at 5. 2. Crowded, crowded like a can of sardines from 3 to 8 Monday through Thursdays. In the wintertime it gets worse especially in January when people make those damn resolutions. 3. Unsupervised children using equipment sometimes. Very bothersome and annoying. 4. Some of the patrons just sit around on the equipment and chat and chat and chat and silent and chat some more. 5. Pretty much, the bad comes from the other patrons that use the facilities. This can be avoided if you go to the gym earlier in the morning when everyone is working or late at night two hours before closing. Overall, I gave this gym four stars because it has everything you could ask for in a gym and a little bit more.
