Mason Community Center

They have a decent facility, but it is always very crowded and there’s usually a wait for the piece of equipment I want to use as people tend to loiter. It is also difficult to use their indoor track with the large number of people either walking the incorrect direction or children hanging out/​playing on the track area. I’ve brought this to employee attention before only to be looked at as if I was the person with the problem. $ 55 a month (for a single membership) is just too much for a place I’m not 100% happy with. Cancelled my membership and now attend a gym for $ 20 a month that is not as crowded and better monitored by staff.

Wow! Wow oh wow. My dad loves the pools here and now I see why he raved about them. The indoor warm pool gives kids a crazy cool play area and offers lap swimmers their own special lanes. I’m amazed. They have the requisite freezing lap pool for ultra swimmers too, but I appreciate the option of warmer lap lanes. The lazy river is reason enough to exercise here. Brilliant place!

Love this place! Great staff and clean. Lots of classes. Great child care. Heather, Lindsey, Jennifer all amazing.

Finally, a place where our whole family can get so much fun under one roof! I am very happy with our decision to join and wouldn’t trade our membership for the world. There is so much that our kids love to do here and the rock climbing wall is awesome! The fitness area is awesome, the walking track, and the classes… I just can’t say enough good things about the community center.

The entrance is NOT where the sign is… You have to go back to the medical area to get in. It’s a bit confusing but once you figure out where you are it’s not too bad. The interior is REALLY nice with tile floors, gorgeous wood accents and many big windows to let in tons of glorious sunlight.
The Mason Community Center is great for residents of all ages, they’ve got an about average amount of fitness equipment, a small rock wall, lots of courts, a big indoor pool with some play equipment and classes/​clubs. I think I saw a café in there too — wouldn’t surprise me.
On this particular visit I was just stopping in to get my CPR card — thanks to being a resident the class to get CPR/​AED certified is totally free (and can run up to $ 75 at some places!) However it takes them a few weeks to actually print the card and give it to you.
I’d give the community center a 4 star however the massive amount of gum on the interior floor around the door was disgusting — it actually makes me sad that other residents would be so inconsiderate, but also sad that much of it hasn’t been cleaned up. Gross and sad all rolled up into one.

First the GOOD — For the money (value) this place is stacked! One of our first priorities (at the moment) is good child care and hours. You will find it here if you plan to work out as a couple or swim etc. There’s a Café, Post Office, Gift Shop, Indoor Swimming Pool, Hot Tub, Climbing Wall, Indoor Track, Basketball Courts, Gym with aerobics equipment etc. … most anything you would need or find at a modern YMCA. The value is great for your average fitness buff and herein lies my problem with this place.
My wife and I are NOT average. She competes in NPC Masters Figure Competitions and I in Powerlifting Competitions for the past 32 years. While the gym has great aerobics equipment and SOME of the weight machines will do … the free weight area is a joke (based on what we are accustomed to). There are barely enough free weights for the usual 12 – 15 people there every night. The weights and Olympic bars are sub-​par; there is one set of dumbbells; there are no fixed weight bars for curling (lunging) etc. and after being told three months ago fixed bars had been ordered and a power rack is on the way… we have yet to see either. There is just ONE flat bench press and no power rack and a mere two squat racks.
I know … so why are we even here? Again, purely because of the child care hours and location.
