    I rate this facility 5/5 because of not just how organized and large the building is, but on the cleanliness. Yes you can say other places are clean from the floors to counter tops, but one thing that this place tops are the bathrooms/restrooms/toilets. Yes I said TOILETS. I attend here 6 days a week to workout/swim and the Mens restrooms are always clean every hour of the day. Not many facilities can say that. Paper towels, toilet paper are always replenished. Restroom from top to bottom is always cleaned, from the sink, toilets (internal /externally) and the showers. From well maintained facilities from the gym, pool, fitness center, locker rooms to restrooms, I enjoy being a member here.

    Upscale, modern community rec center. Only played basketball…the courts are very well maintained and in great condition. 3 full HS courts. Could use an upgrade to college and/or pro 3pt lines.

    Same as the Simkus Park District, we go here often. The facility is always clean and the staff is kind and professional. I have a gym membership and the facility in the gym is always clean and staff are kind as well. I encourage residents to join the gym or a class. Prices aren't high and there's a large selection of classes. We even had our wrestling banquet at this location. It was spacious and clean.

    Great spot to have a gathering. My cousin hosted her baby shower and the room was clean and ready for setup when we got there. The staff checks in with the hosts regularly to ensure satisfaction. And the front desk attendant was very helpful in finding our party.

    Your hall might be beautiful but your staff is rude and unprofessional. 1) I had an event at your facility on 6/17/23 and my booking started at 1PM in Room 122. My actual event started at 1:30PM and I allowed enough time (30 mins) for decoration of the room. 2) I arrived at your facility around 12:35ish or 12:40ish and only thing I requested was give me cart and open the dock area so we could at least unload our cars and start decorating as soon as 1:05PM. 3) They said the cart cannot be given till 1PM because its "too early". I find this comment extremely untrue because I know people that have rented this facility before and they were given the cart and docking area 30 mins prior to the events. In some cases, they even opened they have opened the rooms before 30 mins, which I never asked. I did not want the key at 12:40PM, I just wanted cart and access to the docking area. 4) When I was told they cannot give us the cart, I told them we will bring in items without cart and wait by the door till 1PM. And they said we are not allowed to do it because of the safety issue! Sorry?! What safety issue. We cannot place our bags outside by the door? We were not going to leave them unattended either. 5) I was at your facility on 6/3/23 to discuss designs with your designer (Patrick) regarding the table and chair layouts. I mentioned ahead of time (over the phone) that I ALREADY have my event planned on 6/17/23 and I need to stop by to discuss designs. I was also told you guys would give me a call to discuss designs 2 weeks prior the event, which I ever received. You need to change this to 1 month in advance because you need to understand people travel. This was the case with me. I was out of town between 6/6 and 6/12. 6) Your designer Patrick took me to the wrong room on 6/3/23 and had NO idea I already booked my room and was scrambling through the paperwork. I told him I want white linens and he asked me if I have already paid for the linens. I find this extremely funny and yet unorganized. He should have looked at my paperwork before I got there! Additionally, I mentioned on 6/3/23 that I also was willing to pay extra to get the room sooner (12:30PM) but they said the room will not be not vacant. However, the room was vacant at 12:30PM when we got there on 6/17/23. I frankly feel the guy was too lazy to change my reservation. 7) One of the lady from the front desk told us to not take pictures in the hallway on the day of the event. There were not even many people there, it was just me and my photographer who took 5-6 pics there. Again there isn't any sign on the hallway that pics cannot be taken there. PUT a sign in the hallway if pictures cannot be taken in the hallway! This is where I started to feel your staff is racist! Again, I know people that take pictures in the hallway where you have chairs outside of room 122. So why she came to us and advised us to not take the pictures. Was she racist or simply jealous we were trying to have a good time?! 8) Last but not least, our cake for the event was sent back. I can understand my friend booked it for my bridal shower as a gift for me, but at least they should have stopped by our room to ask if it was our cake before sending the cake guy back. They had already stopped by 4 times in our room so why not 5th time? 9) They did not give us any privacy when our event was going on. One of the ladies kept on looking at us from the window. I find this very creepy and unprofessional. 10) Me and my bridesmaids were supposed to feel relaxed for my bridal shower since we wanted to avoid the hassle of doing it at one of our homes but we regret booking your facility. I feel like I threw away $350 down the drain by coming over at your facility. You guys made it VERY stressful for us to have a very important event of my life there! I will not recommend it to anyone. I do not recommend this hall to anyone for rental purposes because they will stress you out and not feel relaxes when your events are ongoing.

    Facility is nice and new but after class you are pretty much walked out the gym. Basketball practice ended and even though no one else was using we were asked to leave about 5 minutes later. My son is currently in a program at their facility and plays travel basketball through them but guess unless you pay extra to be a gym member they don't want you there. Also basic things like score boards failing and dirty courts make this a bad place to use.

    Disappointed with their swim lessons program. Instructors are always late, don’t pay attention to kids, I think I saw a life guard go in twice during lessons. Their supervisor never has a clear answer about why the instructors are always late and they all show a lack of interest in helping you :(

    Very impressed with this Rec center. Very clean and spacious, plenty of options at this facility. My sister's and I took a lunchtime dance class with the instructor Vinita and she was such fun. She kept the dance moves easy to follow while getting a very good workout and we had a great time.

    Beautiful facility with great staff. We've used fountain view for my daughter's activities and for her 5yr old birthday party. The room was very spacious and provided many features. They had a sound system for music and a projector if needed. Bathrooms were close to the room for the kids as well. Scheduling and assistance was spot on for all our needs. Definitely recommend.

    We attended the VetBros 6th Annual Charity Dog Show and had a blast. The park is easily accessible, and the grounds are free of debris and nicely kept.

  • 5/5 John H. 1 year ago on Google
    The variety of class types and times allows you great flexibility, and the community here is unlike any other gym. Not only are the staff/trainers friendly, but all those who come here.

  • 2/5 Terry A. 1 year ago on Google
    That place is another pretty bad environment when the young ladies are in their working they're like kind of intimidated if you look at them they're if you say hello to them they think you're flirting with them try to find some other place where where they appreciate you

  • 4/5 Norm C. 10 months ago on Google
    Wonderful facility with big gyms and meeting rooms. Swimming pool with lap swim. Expansive surrounding parking and land.

  • 5/5 Jon M. 1 year ago on Google
    Every workout is different and challenging and leaves you excited and pumped to come back for the next. Great gym, great experience!

  • 5/5 Heather E. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I have a membership and we work out here frequently. We use the pool, the exercise equipment and take exercise classes. We feel this is a great value and we love the facility

  • 5/5 Miles S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best gym I’ve ever been to. So many amenities, clean building, and friendly staff. Unfortunately we moved gyms and doesn’t compare as close to fountainview. Hopefully I’ll be back very soon though.

  • 5/5 Carolyn D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice environment lots of exercise equipment nice walking track all year

  • 5/5 Virendra N. 2 years ago on Google
    Local gym, clean. With multiple options for fitness. One of the good indoor pools in the area. Indoor walking/jogging track is a game changer in winter!!

  • 5/5 Tina Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Parking lot is huge! Super clean facilities, well organized great services! Son had his basketball play off there for the whole weekend.

  • 1/5 Andre L. 2 years ago on Google
    Its a nice place, but they'll make it hard as hell to cancel membership. Cant do it online, call in, or email. You have to go in to fill out a sheet and then get charged another $75

  • 5/5 Tanner A. 2 years ago on Google
    I've only used the pool but it's nice, staff has been friendly and helpful when I had questions. The pool closes at 9:30 most days and even when you come in towards the end the life guards still let you get a swim in which is greatly appreciated!

  • 5/5 April S. 2 years ago on Google
    Love working out here, the place is kept pretty clean and the indoor track is awesome to use. Especially if you go while the sun sets, really pretty to look at and a great distraction for extra laps.

  • 5/5 Meagan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Live the options that come with the membership! I go here 4 times a week and it's always being cleaned. The staff is very friendly too. I like it so much, I got others to join! The only thing that could be improved is enforcement of masks. People wear them when they walk in, but take them off or wear them on their chin the rest of the time. Makes me incredibly nervous being immunocompromised.

    The pool is clean and accessible. Perfect if you have difficulty getting around. They have a warm water pool that is amazing. The pool staff is another thing. Abby has a seriouz attitude and is generally rude and likes to stare. Trin acts like he is the manager but he isnt. The only one with some sense is Yara. The pool staff is a third party vendor. The park staff are amazing. They are the kindest individuals always gracious.

    Great facility, love the indoor track and all the equipment. The only downside is they don’t have towels, so you have to bring your own. Would love if they had towels..
