am so disappointed after visiting the center. It is boasted as a "family fun center" but that is…read morevery misleading. It should be named "kind to Silver Sneaker members only". I am also a Silver Sneaker member but today I came with my granddaughters who are out of school. The older ladies working the front desk acted like it was such an inconvenience to wait on us. Then proceeded to let us know that none of the amenities for children are available until after 4 so that older members can enjoy it. Even the lifeguards were grumpy! School is out and kids should be able to enjoy the facilities! Isn't that what parks are for? What a shame! I have family that retired from the park board and they are appalled too. I was also disgusted by the restrooms and changing room. They smelled of urine terribly!

From what I'm told this is an ongoing issue. There are instructors who would cover classes if childcare would open earlier, but the park board will not open even 30-minutes earlier to accommodate their best instructor. Obviously they don't care about their paying customers.

Nixa's pool has been under construction forever and even when it is open it is outside. Republic is outside too. Enter the good old YMCA. Their swim program is well managed in the hands is Marcella.

They have fitness classes daily and open swim times in their basement pool. It's really great the way it is divided into different levels depending on what you are looking for. Most of the weight machines plus free weights and indoor rock climbing are in 2nd floor. The 3rd floor has a track which goes around the entire upstairs and mainly has cardio equipment. The weights include the only four way neck machine I have seen at a commercial gym. They also have a deadlift platform, power racks, pull-up machine, dumbbells to 120 lbs. Plus they have too many extras to mention. It's a great place that does a lot of good for the community with kids activities and a true health focus. I live close enough to walk and feel very fortunate to live so near. Highly recommend!

While it is true that I am the one investing the sweat equity, I simply could not have moved from where I was to actually enjoying working out on a regular basis. Kaly, my fitness guru, is diabolical, but so careful at the same time. I think the world of her. I love the 24 hour availability that is close to our small town. I love the environment and other patrons that encourage versus other places that prefer only slim & trim people to grace their facilities. This place is good for me and I have learned to love it more and more each time I am here.
