(They also participate in Silver Sneakers, if you have Medicare.) I really like the large indoor pool and enjoy the water classes. Of note, you do NOT automatically get access to the North Pointe Aquatic Center in Ballwin when you joint The Pointe at Ballwin Commons - there is a separate membership for the outdoor aquatic center. This is definitely a family-centered gym. There are tons of kids around. They are doing some renovations/upgrades of different areas at the time of this review. Currently, the interiors are a bit dull, not fancy like some other gyms. They have large basketball courts and pickleball open play times (no charge). There are swim lessons, open swim times and water walking in the lazy river (check the schedule so you aren't disappointed). There are also a ton of classes and programs with additional charges. There is a childcare area. The weight lifting areas and upstairs indoor track are kind of awkward in design, and not huge but you can get a workout in. The outside is nice. There are large free parking lots and a cute playground for children with picnic tables.

For the price, you can't beat it! I go there to use the cardio machines, such as elliptical and…read moretreadmill. Sometimes I use the weight machines. It's not too crowded so I've never had to wait for a machine. There's a track upstairs if you want to walk or run. Fitness classes are included with membership, which is such a great deal, but I haven't tried them yet. There's also plenty of parking, which I always appreciate. Checking in at the front desk is easy; you just scan your keychain and head in. I do wish there was more space to do your own HIIT, bodyweight workouts, and stretching. You can use the classroom if there's not a class going on, but it would be nice if there was a room open all the time.

This review is for the pool only…read more A parking garage is nearby which was very helpful in gathering for a tailgate on the top deck. Yes swim parents tailgate. Staff friendly when checking in. The pool observation area is top floor with the track. Windows are around to observe the 50 meter six lane pool. My issue is there is little to no spectator area. A single row of seats is it. There were parents from both teams in big numbers with no seating. Also the fact it's a six lane pool reduces competition. Finally the climate was not well controlled. The SLU pool for a D1 program is a disgrace.

I love this gym. It's fairly large and has everything I would want. There are three levels:…read more 1- your basic gym with a rock climbing wall and a juice bar 2- the sports area with courts for basketball, volleyball, racquetball (ps the bathrooms halve saunas) 3- the track and some basic machines Parking for the non-permit peeps: right in front of the gym theres SLU parking which is free after 10pm (blue signs) BUT a little further down the road, the parking becomes St. Louis parking which is free after 7pm (green signs).

In addition, a membership for Silver Sneakers is free. Many mornings I am the only person walking the lap lanes. Not because there are few members but because they open at 5:30 AM and everybody is not an early bird. The gym is very clean! It has two rooms equipped with every type of weight machines or cycles or treadmills. Also, free weights, kettlebells and ping pong is available. There is a soccer court and basketball court. A fun place for kids, young adults And seniors!

This community gym has got a lot going for it, but it's not quite perfect…read more The things I like about this gym are: 1) Plenty machines so you never really have to wait for one 2) For a community gym, it's really very clean and the premises are quite grand 2) Airy, open space with a view out onto some grass rather than, say, a busy road 3) Very good membership rates, especially for local residents - we pay $40 a month for the two of us 4) There's an indoor running track 5) A somewhat decent selection of classes 6) The clientele is generally low key rather than scary muscle men putting your work-out to shame Things that I feel are a problem: 1) The Sunday closing time of 5pm 2) The scales are often broken 3) The people who work there don't really have a clue what's going on. I had to change my bank details for the monthly payment, and it took me the best part of a month to find an employee who could actually handle this task 4) You have to give 3 months' notice to cancel 5) There's no pay-as-you-go for classes. You have to pick one time that you're going to come every week and sign up for a whole "session" which goes on for 10 weeks or so, and pay upfront for the whole session 6) There's no Body Pump class - a personal favorite of mine 7) Sometimes the "low key clientele" like to stare at you as you puff away on the treadmill because all they're doing is walking at a 2mph pace, so they need some entertainment Looking over the two lists above, it seems as though there's really more negatives than positives, so it's somewhat surprising that I'm giving this gym 4 stars. I think what saves it for me is the low monthly price and the fact that it's a no-frills, let-you-get-on-with-it kind of gym - they're not constantly trying to sell you a "premium" membership, or get you to refer friends, like some other gyms - and what you see is what you really get as far as membership is concerned. It's just a good, honest place for the locals to work out.

This is my first time rock climbing and I had an incredible time! I went with a small group of…read morefriends thinking this place would be packed since it was Saturday but the all around atmosphere of the place was calm and uplifting. There was no pressure to try any of the climbs they had and we were able to take our time and climb for HOURS. We got here around 3pm and left around 6:40 and we had a great time! All the gear here at upper limits are reliable and the people here were super friendly! Would definitely recommend this place for beginners and advanced climbers alike!

We went on a Saturday morning soon after opening and it was packed. Check in was easy and quick and I got a brief orientation before starting to climb. Since it was crowded there was an occasional wait to climb certain walls but it gave me a much needed rest between climbs. I also tried bouldering for the first time which was pretty fun and different.

There is an outdoor pool which is a small walk from the indoor pool. There plenty of lifeguards here today. This facility looks clean today. The staff is nice. There is also an indoor kids' place area called the RiverChase rainforest. There is a child watch room here too for parents who want to exercise. There is an indoor walking lap area and I saw some exercise area. The shower has a swimsuit spinner machine to help the swimsuit dry. There are lockers but no locks so if you go bring your own lock. There is no sauna or stream room.

Place is a hidden gem in the back of Chesterfield Commons. Lots of space, a multitude of classes,…read moreplenty of equipment on sale there to enable you, and even children birthday party areas. Party room is solid and functions well for the needs, but it's the kids climbing area that is of value. Over 10 separate walls of varying detail, obstacle climbing spots, plenty of automatic repel machines, counter walls, and even interactive obstacles like build your own block walls. Only drawback is ventilation within that children's climb area as it gets hot quick and even if they bring in a box fan, it doesn't circulate the whole room which is what's needed. The main climb area is well cooled and ventilated so I really don't understand why that one specific area is so bad.

A great bouldering gym! We were visiting from DC so here is what I wish I knew about the gyms…read morebefore researching myself on the r/climbing subreddit on Reddit and other sites: This location (Chesterfield/West County) is basically a bouldering gym. It's located in a large strip mall which also has a Goodwill thrift store on the other side. Very little top rope climbing (just one wall). I believe the Maryland Heights location is supposed to have more top roping but we didn't go there. Day passes were kind of a teeny more expensive than I was hoping ($20) but if you can return again at all the memberships and class packs sound like a good deal. They also were running Black Friday sales for the weekend and those seemed good too but we couldn't really be around to take advantage of those. We were there Sunday early afternoon and there was no one else there. People started trickling in around 3pm and by 5pm there was a healthy crowd there, but still pretty easy to get on a wall with almost no wait. The kids seemed to be having a great time in the "Wacky Wall" area with the auto belays. It has a separate reservation portal/system and separate pricing. There's also a small private room off to the side for birthday parties and events. The climbing "cave" was pretty cool but damn do the holds need to be brushed. Slid off (probably because we rented shoes as well) more times than I'd like. Pretty challenging routes and a good variety of routes too, but I'm not sure how much they reset them. The wall whiteboard said June 2021 but that didn't seem updated. The fitness area was decent but I'd maybe become bored if the area became crowded with more people using it at peak hours. But since I wasn't planning on becoming a member, it was perfect. :) Locker rooms and showers were a little dated and old (women's side, I did not see the men's) but fit the requirements. The lockers have their own electronic locks with instructions on them, but I couldn't get them to work/many of them were locked. It didn't matter much to me since I wanted to keep most of my stuff in the cubbies out in the climbing area anyway. Wish we could come back to the gym more than once this trip but I'm sure we'll be back in the future.
