Georgetown Recreation Center

Everything but the splash pad open on a Sunday. The only day a lot of working class people have the opportunity to enjoy it.
Won’t be going back.

The staff is very friendly and I especially love taking class from one teacher, Angela!
I love her classes. I have taken other classes at this rec center, but her class is by far the BEST! She is so energetic and motivating. She makes class fun and challenging!
If Angela did not teach there, I’m not sure I would continue going to this gym.
They do have a pool and basketball court but I don’t utilize as much.

We’ve used this Rec center on and off over the years. We are non residents but their rates are so reasonable.
My son is currently taking swim lessons and the staff is great.
Love the indoor pool.
Love the sprinkler pool.
This place is never super crowded either!

I have been here a couple times with my friend.
I did a boot camp class and there was only a handful of ladies. No one talked to each other and I didn’t get the feel of community and relationships.
The center has a mix of folks. Middle age and older. Always busy. Even during the day.
I like running the trails nearby.
The bathrooms are clean.
I am not going to get a membership here. Not impressed. Reminds me of a YMCA

I love this place! There is not one bad thing I could think to say about this place. Well, I do wish they were open on Sundays but I can live with it being closed because it’s so awesome. It’s cheap, they have so many fun classes, and there is so much to do! Racquetball, basketball, swimming, weights, workout classes, informational classes, ping pong, adult social leagues, day care for children, play ground, etc. I could go on for days! The weight room isn’t like one you would find in a Gold’s Gym or 24 hour fitness, but I wouldn’t expect that. They have racquetball «king of the mountain» on the weekdays after 6 pm. You can challenge other players. If you are new to the G-​town area and looking for a great place to go with your hubby or children… HERE! :)

I was excited when I moved back to see that the Rec Center had expanded, but in reality — it became a baby sitting clinic. Parents just simply drop their kids off and leave them for hours on end until closing.
My personal opinion is that the gym has a lot to offer, but if you are into weight lifting at all — please go somewhere else. There is not nearly enough dumbbells for the amount of traffic that goes through the gym and not nearly enough of machines. Their cardio machine selection is great and the indoor track definitely helps.
Everything has been upgraded except one crucial section. The racquetball courts. There is no other places to play in this area unless you are a Southwestern student. You are able to fix and upgrade everything, but you leave the courts in the same condition? Shameful.

Georgetown Rereation Center is not a gym, it’s definitely a «recreation center» although I honestly mostly use the gym area which is good enough for me. Although I work at Fort Hood and have the luxury of using the base gyms for free, at the end of the work day, I’d rather be closer to home… hence, my membership here. It’s only a short drive from my house and has everything you really need for a good workout. The price for a membership esp if you are or become a Gtown resident is definitely a steal compared to what you pay for at other gyms like 24 hour. I do have to knock down a star from the rating though ONLY because the hours are very limited compared to a 24 hour fitness and they are closed on SUNDAYS which is crazy to me… it’s not a very good business decision considering everyone tries to squeeze in a workout on the weekends and from past experience, Saturdays and Sundays are busy days for gyms in general… the gym area is both the strength training and cardio area… good selection of machines that are kept up pretty well and are not old looking, the free weight area is adequate although seems smooshed into the side of the wall and wish there was more room… the stationary bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills take up most of the space and I love how they all look out to the outside pool area… if you are on one of the center treadmills or ellipticals at around 7 in the morning, seeing the sun rise and its rays beaming down on you is quite an experience and can be very motivating with the right songs on your ipod. I use the locker room as well and it feel clean. We don’t have kids, but if we did, the Recreation Center is definitely a safe place I’d bring them to… it seems theres tons of activities and a teen center. Haven’t been to the pool yet but glad to see there’s one available… with the whole thing about it being closed on Sunday, I was afraid this place was going to be some Christiany gym that was going to play Christian songs and push some kind of agenda where I have to pray before I workout… but having worked out here several times now, I’m glad this place is just what it is… a gym. The clientele seems to be a mix of everything and although I did predict the inevitabe being here in Texas of Fox News playing on the TV screens, it was nice to see that it was balanced with CNN and often times, MSNBC playing on another screen. Overall, politics aside, good gym, good people… just wish it was open on Sunday… just cause God had a day of rest is not an excuse to not exercise.

Great Rec center. they offer everything and more than you would get from a gym membership. and they are way cheaper! they even offer classes life fencing! there are teams for swimming, basketball, volleyball, you name it. great for kids, families, or adults. This is a great resource just sitting in out backyards:)

Love the new rec center! Super affordable, and the staff is friendly! The classes, at no extra charge, are great! They really kick your butt! I am very happy with the rec center and wouldn’t go back to the pricey gyms anymore, this has everything I need!

Thank you Georgetown! Thank you for finally updating the rec center. If you were around last year you know just what I’m talking about. The new and improved rec center rocks! The equipment is new, the building is pristine, and the views are so pretty (thank you so much for all the windows!). All of the cardio equipment is lined up overlooking the pool area and the wooded area beyond the pool. There are tvs, free weights, and machines. Impressive. Upstairs is an indoor tracks, rooms for classes and a spin area (oddly though, it’s not in a room, just bikes in a semi-​circle outside of an aerobics room). Leesa and Laura are great spin instructors if you care to partake.
I don’t have kids, but this morning there was a 3-​year old in a dead sprint to get to the day care facility, clearly it’s a hit with the youngins.
Way to go Gtown!
