★★★★Erica JMany different things to do here, a great community center! My kids loved the pool, of course. 4 stars because they put way too much chlorine in the pool, even hours after leaving my eyes kept glossing over. I get it has a lot of guests but that much chlorine is not needed.
★★★★★Deidre MegMy favorite gym. I love the classes, the pool, and the fact that the kindercare staff do such a good job at taking care of my babies. ❤️ I can workout in peace knowing they are in good hands.
★★★★★JJonesGreat spot. If you have kids under 10 you can sign up for 2 hours free day care while you are onsite working out. Great options. I love the resistance lane, aka lazy river. Also fun pool playground. Lots of workout options. Great prices for New Braunfels residents. Day passes for visitors who want a fun day inside.
★★★★★Avery MaltsbergerThis is a great gym. I mostly come in the evening from 7 to when it closes at 9. At 7 the machines are a little crowded but by 8 people start to leave. I like that there are wipes so you can wipe off the machine when you are done using it. I highly recommend the machines, weights, treadmills, running track, pools and basketball court. The pictures are showing all around Das Rec but I didn't get any pictures of the pool. The staff are so kind and have helped me on several occasions. 10/10 would recommend!!
★★★Jennifer KlingLove this place.. I am in at 5am and can hit the machines, and it is not that crowded. However, the pool is another story. People fight to get in. They need to open up more time for people who work all day and move the kids' swimming lessons earlier. A complaint I have heard from many. The machines and main workout room are clean, but I have been keeping an eye on the things that are broken. Three machines that you will see women use have been broken for a month, and the one pool heater is still broken. This needs to be fixed immediately. Also, the ladies' locker room floors and shower need to be cleaned better and bleached. Several women complain about it. There are some repairs that need to be addressed. It seems the janitorial at night does not know how to clean, also some showers are missing chairs, missing hooks fir towels. So, the repairs and cleaning in the locker room are the reason for the 3 stars
