    I've been in and out of this particular planet fitness for about a year now and loved the…read moreatmosphere, cleanliness and staff. Well, I laid off the gym for a month or so and to my surprise, this location has undergone a total renovation, top to bottom, causing me to walk around like I'm brand new there. The New equipment is fabulous

    Rating 5 stars for several reasons: the inside is always clean and a reasonable temperature. They…read morehave a Rockbot which is fun if you want to choose the ambient music but not too loud. All of the equipment must be new and there are several units each machine so you never have to wait too long. The staff have been able to handle any of my requests/inquiries, which have mostly been about billing so far. In general, it is a well run comfortable gym. On the downside, there is no bench press and they don't allow benches under the squat racks- so if you want to bench it needs to be on a smith machine. I was really disappointed about that, since I was just starting to feel comfortable benching again from my old gym and I won't be able to practice the real deal. Also the dumbbells only go up to 60lbs. And this isn't their fault but just beware there is an annual fee on the $20 no commitment plan so you are technically paying more than $20/month on that plan. The last thing I'll say against this place is that it's somewhat dim inside (even a staff member agreed) and I like a lot of light but that comes out to 5 stars in my book, really no major issues with this planet fitness. Edit (18JUN'25): 75lbs not 60.

    It was only the second time I had been to this Rec Center. Neither time included activities. The…read morefirst was to check out the walking lanes in the pool. This time was for an event being held in a large meeting room off the lobby. The location is on the portion of Newtown Road where the road turns east & the remainder is called Diamond Springs Road. This portion of the road actually runs between Haygood Road and that split. On the campus of buildings are also two elementary schools. The land, previously a farm, was donated to the city by the Williams Family, There are definite positives & negatives to the indoor pool. It appeared from my viewpoint to be slightly smaller than that of Bayside Rec Center. The walking lanes are fantastic for those who enjoy or need that experience for therapeutic reasons. But it does take away from the pool space for those who go to swim or just splash. There are outside activities that aren't available at Bayside. A large connected & fenced splash area was great for younger kids running through the water on a hot day. It gave the feel of a series of stationary underground sprinklers. I viewed an enclosed skate board ramp. Adjacent to that was something being used that was below ground level. I'm not sure what type of activity was involved. I didn't venture further down the meeting room hall. But the large glass window room in which my event was held was great & very accessible. One big flaw was the lack of handicapped parking spaces. I only saw four & had to park in hinterlands in terrible heat. This Rec Center is a great addition to this part of Bayside. It's walking distance from a lot of condo's & apartments. So kids can get there very easily in the summer. The Williams family's land donation is being put to good use.

    Since my go-to rec center was having a check-up, I have been trying out different rec centers in…read morethe area. I'll say that I had a very pleasant experience at Williams Farm. To be perfectly honest, I had no idea this rec center even existed, but I'm glad that I know about it. The rec center has all of the features of the other local rec centers - pool, open gym, weight room, cardio machines, indoor track, clean (very important) locker rooms, and free (and plentiful) lockers. Extra points for the showers in the locker room because each shower has an additional partition so one can shower in one partition and change in the other. The weight room is pretty comparable to a smaller gym's, but the center has all the equipment that one would need for a general workout. Actually, I think this center's weight "room" (or should I say weight open space) is a bit larger than a couple of the other VB rec centers. I noticed this rec center had a few bench presses and deadlift squat apparatuses. This is in contrast to my regular rec center, which has only one of each. I really enjoyed that the rec center has plenty of large windows so the weight room and indoor track receive plenty of natural sunlight, which leads to a cheerful workout . . . at least for me. The staff was pretty much nice and very helpful in providing directions to different parts of the gym. While this rec center is somewhat out of the way for me, I definitely will visit when my local recenter is closed.
