NEVER, ever leave your children in the sitting service at the Franklin Rec center. It’s terrible. I could go into detail but I won’t on here. Just consider yourself warned. I wish I had listened to my friends who warned me about them early on but I didn’t think it could be that bad. Boy was I terribly wrong. No workout is worth putting my kids in there!

It’s nothing fancy but it is affordable, clean and has a nice walking trail and field where you can catch a glimpse of the Harpeth river. Very good equipment for the price of access to it.

I’m definitely ok with this gym for the price. It’s definitely no health spa, but they have personal trainers, classes, courts of all kinds, and competitive swimming lanes. You really can’t go wrong here unless you show up at prime time or on a holiday or a random day they have decided to close to resurface the floors, etc. Get your workout in!

Top notch equipment, especially since the new cardio room renovation. All the classes are on par with area gyms. Can’t beat a year round indoor pool and the outdoor summer pool is great! I love all the extra curricular classes offered here as well. The membership price absolutely cannot be beat.

OK facilities and they are trying to improve. However, and I guess its because they don’t have to make a profit, but the people working at the front desk are terrible. They have no inkling about what its like to serve a customer. It seems like they are put out when you do something like try to pay to get in, or ask them a question. Not all of them are like this, but most are. Unprofessional, discourteous, downright rude. It seems like, even though the place is taxpayer funded, they ought to treat folks coming there a little bit nicer.

Best value in town! $ 195 flat for an annual family pass. Plenty of cardio machines, machine weights, free weights, indoor track, outdoor track, gymnasium, soccer fields, indoor pool, outdoor pool, racquetball courts, spin classes, art classes, community theater, child care, and more!

Williamson County has a valuable resource that Davidson County does not: an affordable way for its citizens to exercise and swim indoors. There are two indoor recreation centers in Williamson County, the Franklin center on Hillsboro Road, which has been there for at least fifteen years or so, and the newer complex in Brentwood at Concord Road. When I lived in Williamson County, I used to frequent both, taking advantage of their weight and cardio rooms and their indoor swimming pools. Both places are competing directly with the YMCA, and I admit that the amenities are not as fancy in some areas: the dressing rooms don’t have saunas and steamrooms and hot tubs, but on essentials, I think the county-funded facilities are much better. The weight and cardio machines at the Brentwood location are well-maintained and top of the range. The staff are really friendly, and you can book a free consultation with a weight trainer(you pay about $ 50 at the Y. The pools are every bit as nice, and the Franklin facility has two, indoor and outdoor. The Brentwood facility is a little swankier and newer than Franklin, but both are great. The best thing about these facilities is the price. You can pay a nominal daily fee, or you can save money by buying monthly passes or a yearly pass(which is one of the best deals and best kept secrets in the Nashville area).
