    I usually frequent South and East Rec Centers, but decided to stop in and check out North on a…read moresunny Saturday while I was in the area. It has a nice parking area, but smaller than the other two. Still found a nice spot. Inside, the greeters were friendly and explained the layout. Again unlike the other two, North had a weight room separate from the weight machines. It was interesting to see a large area dedicated to dumbbells and barbell presses. The other, larger area had nice windows and the pulley machines. I found it a great place to workout and though it was Saturday, not too busy. They have a lot of machines. I do wish the weight room had some more ventilation. I'll be back soon and check out the pool!

    It's been a long time since I visited the North Boulder Rec Center. It's fairly far from my house…read morebut they have a lot of nice programs. Decades ago my younger son took gymnastic classes there. My husband has used their pool for Scuba trip prep swims to test out their equipment. Also my kids and many of their friends had birthday party events there in the 80s. A friend of mine invited me to stop in and try out their fitness classes for seniors. The program is free to us, though most of the participants have some form of support from their medicare supplement policy (Silver Sneakers membership) and I assume that benefit supports the program financially. Nothing is ever "free" in the sense that it is just like being out in nature. There is a large building and many staff to support. All the staff we met in the process of signing up and get information on programs were very pleasant, efficient and supportive. The teacher of the class was a very positive and talented young woman who clearly understood her participants very well. The music was such fun. Some was the a similar play list to what I had in classes in the late 80s & early 90s, when I last took an indoor fitness program at other locations under the Jazzercize label. Many disco dance songs, new in that era, retro classics now. Also some pop songs of the 60s for some of us and cool down relaxing folk and ballads focus too. I was surprised yet pleased to hear Joan Baez "Diamonds and Rust" unique to a class like this I think. Parking is a bit complicated at the center, as the lot out front has very small spaces and is filled quite early in the day, but there is more room along the sides with slightly larger spaces and now that we know that, we will try there first next week.

For most of my time living in Boulder, this meant taking her to North Boulder Park everyday. Having just moved to the Glenwood neighborhood, I am no longer in close enough proximity to go everyday. Luckily, I discovered Howard H. Park. With plenty of open space, beautiful foliage, and a section specifically for off leash dogs, I am glad to call this my new spot. There is also a children's playground, walking/jogging trail, and creek that runs around the outside of the park. Generally, the park is pretty empty, until about 5 pm or on the weekends - when you're sure to run into plenty of people and their furry friends. My favorite part is a small hill/bump which provides a great place to lay down, as well as spectacular vantage point for launching the disk for my dog.

    I came here strictly for the dog park. There are lots of friendly dogs and plenty of space for your…read morepup to run. I find it a little odd that the dog park section is fenced off on 3 sides, luckily the open side leads into an apartment complex's parking where there are compost trash cans. The dogs can also get curious and wander off to other parts of the park since the area is not enclosed. If your dog is sensitive to certain sounds like mine, he gets very nervous around skateboards, this might not be the right park for you. My dog heard kids skateboarding in the park section and decided it was a good time to leave. 3/5 stars for the dog park, 4/5 for the actual park. The park was pretty big, clean, everyone had their own space and were doing activities and being surrounded by mountains isn't too bad either.

    The staff here is so wonderful and nice, every single time you come in. All of them as well,…read moreespecially the big guy with long hair, he's like the nicest human being ever especially for gym staff that is usually pissed when they're even working at other places. This spot has plenty of equipment, only slightly busy/packed during peak hours of course as every other gym is, but honestly most days are fine even during those hours. Usually very clean (gym and bathrooms) but the steam room could do better! You can see the sludge in there and honestly just quick hose down every day with the right cleaning solution would do it, it has a drain so it's not too hard haha. Sometimes the pool smells horrendous haha like wayyy too many chemicals, maybe use local biz Mr Pool - they're amazing for pools indoor and out, as well as the hot tub. The music kinda sucks they play but it's generic gym music so you can't really complain. I love it here, they have a good sized area for everything you need. Maybe one more chest/back pectoral fly machine would be perfect!! That's the only one that's always taken. Cheap prices as well. Good trainers. I don't get how people give it bad reviews.

    I have never written a review before, but this was by far the worst customer service experience I…read morehave ever had. It would be negative stars if possible. As someone in a management role myself, I have never encountered a manager as unprofessional, rude, condescending, and abrasive as Cherek. My friend and I came in at 8:00 PM to use the advertised 5-day free pass because we were genuinely interested in trying the gym. We filled out unnecessary paperwork about our personal workout goals and schedule (we weren't looking for personal training so this didn't need to be shared), took a tour with a very friendly employee, and then politely explained that we were not interested in purchasing a membership that night because we wanted to actually use the facility first. The kind employee warned us if we decline membership he HAD to bring Manager Cherek back over. What a joy that was. She immediately started trying to resell us on the pricing. I politely told her that changing the numbers wasn't going to change my answer--I wanted to try the gym before committing to a membership. Her response? She looked at us and said we "seemed tight on money." I was honestly shocked. What kind of manager thinks it's appropriate to make personal financial assumptions about complete strangers? That comment alone should disqualify someone from being in a customer-facing management position. Despite me declining multiple times, she continued pushing the pricing. After saying "no" for the third time, I finally explained that I'm already a CorePower member paying around $140 per month and was simply looking for a gym that offered different workout options and was considering a more affordable option. Saving roughly $150 over an entire YEAR wasn't going to convince me to buy a membership for a gym I hadn't even been allowed to try. I shouldn't have to share that information but was forced to so she would stop offering savings that I do not care about without getting to workout first. Then the conversation somehow became an INTERROGATION She repeatedly questioned why we were there, asked about our workout goals, how frequently we plan to come to the gym and when my friend said I don't know I just wanted to work out, she responded with, "Then why are you here if you don't have goals?" Because...we came to WORK OUT. That's literally the purpose of a gym. The irony was that after all this talking, we still hadn't been allowed to step onto the gym floor. Then came the best part. She told us we could only use the free pass if we scheduled another appointment with her so she could discuss membership again. We asked, "So you're saying we can't use the advertised 5-day free pass unless we schedule another sales meeting?" She confirmed that was correct and said we HAVE to set up a date time in order to use the facility tonight. So after spending ** 27 minutes--from 8:00 to 8:27 PM** --being pressured, interrogated, judged, and repeatedly told why we should buy a membership, we were sent away without ever being allowed to use the gym. This wasn't a free pass. It was a sales trap. If your "free trial" requires customers to commit to another appointment before they're even allowed to work out, then advertise it honestly. Don't market it as a chance to try the facility when it's really just a high-pressure sales pitch that was unprofessional and abrasive. I've visited plenty of gyms that are confident enough in their product to let people experience the facility before asking them to commit. This gym clearly isn't one of them. Save yourself the time and go somewhere that actually lets you use the free pass they advertise--and where management knows how to treat potential customers with basic respect.

    I originally joined just to have access to a treadmill during the winter and chose the highest…read moremembership mainly because I enjoy the massage beds. Unfortunately, I've been a bit disappointed overall. When you first walk in, there are usually several staff members at the front desk. The staff I've interacted with are always polite and helpful when they notice you, though they often appear to be chatting among themselves or on their phones. My main concerns are with the facilities. Most of the TVs are usually set to the same sports channel showing the same game. Occasionally one is on the news without subtitles, and another often seems stuck on the same Bob Ross rerun. Many of the treadmills are frequently out of order, which can be frustrating. As for the massage beds, only one or two are usually working, and even then the pressure is sometimes very weak. I've also noticed that many members don't wipe down equipment after use. It would be helpful if staff could gently remind people of this. Because of these issues, I plan to downgrade to the $10/month membership, as the higher tier doesn't feel worth $35 to me

    I completely agree with many of the concerns expressed in other reviews (Tracy H.) regarding how…read morethis gym is run. Employees are often gathered behind the front desk chatting among themselves, while equipment sits dirty or broken. Many of the TVs seem to be set to the same channels day after day, creating the impression that little attention is paid to the member experience. I once asked if a TV channel could be changed while I was working out. The employee I spoke with not only didn't know how to do it, but also seemed to have little interest in problem solving himself or finding someone who did. It was a small request, but it reflected a larger lack of engagement and customer service...and work ethic To be fair, there were some positives. I worked with a personal trainer for a few months and had a very good experience. The trainer was professional, knowledgeable, and one of the highlights of my membership. Unfortunately, my biggest frustration has been with customer service and communication. Crunch still owes me money, and despite multiple emails and attempts to resolve the issue, I have received little to no response. I have spent far too much time and energy trying to recover funds that should have been returned long ago. The lack of communication, follow-through, and accountability has been extremely disappointing. I had considered rejoining when I return to Boulder this August, but this experience has left me questioning whether member loyalty and customer satisfaction are truly valued. Problems happen in any business, but ignoring customers when those problems arise is what ultimately damages trust. I have also attempted to contact Crunch corporate for assistance. Unfortunately, the phone number provided directs callers to a message stating that it is not monitored. Combined with the lack of response from the local club, this has left me with no clear avenue for resolving what should be a straightforward customer service issue. The ongoing lack of communication reflects poorly on the organization and has only added to my frustration.

Alchemy has given me access to amazing dance, exercise, strength (both physical and emotional), increased confidence as a dancer and a human, experiences that have helped me tap into my own creativity, and some of my absolute favorite people whom I would be lost without. I want to give a special shout out to the owner, Ashley Patchen. She is one of the kindest, most driven, tenacious, hardworking, creative, silly, amazing people I know.

Every instructor and Ashley, the owner, are super friendly and they put you at ease when you step into the studio. You can tell that this isn't a typical fitness or dance studio where you come and go and don't get a chance to meet anyone. This is family and a MOVEMENT with a BIG MISSIOn that inspires everyone to be themselves, to express their unique quirks and personalities through movement and that you don't have to be a dancer or professionally trained at all in order to feel amazing about yourself and most importantly to just have fun!!! Thank you for creating this sanctuary, Ashley and thank to every instructor and member to contributing to the energy of this place.

I'm a tourist and the like and I enjoyed it! We lucked into parking on a beautiful, busy Saturday morning. They have very nice restrooms at the Ranger station, and more overflow port a potties around if needed too. The nearby trail is highly accessible and it doesn't take long for some views to pay off. It's a decently steep incline, but nothing crazy at all. Once you're into the trees the shade helps against the thin air and the sun, and it's so quiet and serene. No mosquitoes like I'm used to back home. Loved all the birds (shoutout magpies) and also seeing everyones' dogs.
