Ayla B.

I absolutely LOVE Wheat Ridge Rec Center! I think as an active person, this spot is perfect for so many different activities and it certainly does feel judgment-free from what I've experienced the many times I've been so far. It's nice for all ages, there are multiple classes to take each week, and it's very clean. I love the upstairs track to get some laps in or to navigate to my next stopping point for weights or machines. I do wish there were some further machines for certain targeted areas or for when it does get a little busier, but this hasn't hindered my work-out regimen. As a swimmer, the lap pool is gorgeous! I'm very grateful they provide kick boards and pull buoys so I can strength train in the water! I also enjoy the flags above the pool to be able to count my strokes before hitting the wall. It's all extremely helpful! For anyone else wondering as well, I have spotted water weights (they use them in the aqua classes) and pool noodles. Anywho, I love lounging in the lazy river or soaking in the hot tub after completing my laps. Plus, steam room and sauna?! Say less! This spot is super up my alley. It almost feels spa-like and like a true treat to my mental and physical health. The staff has also been so pleasant and helpful every time I've checked-in or had a question. I look forward to coming here again soon!

This is for the skate park. I'm not sure if I'm in the right place but drove by and saw a bunch of skaters shoveling out the snow at the skate park. I had to pull over and take pictures. Not only do you have to skate but you have to shovel out the snow. That's dedication. Skate or die. Love skateboarding!

Swimming and first time here

Michelle made sure that she was available to speak to our staff about Wheat ridge's recreational services, and to promote physical wellness resources. The woman who was there in the morning who helped us set up (whose name very unfortunately escapes me) jumped right in and was so proactive you would have thought she was one of our staff members. Eric stayed and helped us clean far and above the duties of his job, and he worked even harder than our own clean up crew. You cannot find a more helpful crew. The space was affordable priced and well-maintained, and they will give you access to any resources they have that can help make your event great. They have an attached kitchen, service entrance, A/V equipment, and a stage that works great for a corporate setting. They give you access to 18 large, oval tables and four long, rectangular tables. There are enough chairs to seat the room's capacity. We had about 110 staff members and had the room equips with vendors and vendor tables. For our needs, he venue was a bit too small. If we did not have vendors it could have seated 110 pretty comfortably, though. Overall, I am incredibly pleased with the staff, space, and accommodations of having rented with the Active Adult Center. Definitely a great choice for a corporate event, anniversary party, or meeting space!

When we arrived, they went over safety rules, let us choose our tools, and explained the process to us. The package we chose came with breakables and we blew right through those! We ended up purchasing more breakables to fill our time and relieve stress. We felt safe there with the hard hats and safety glass provided along with following the rules they gave us. I enjoyed being able to have my kiddos enjoy the experience as well. There was also anal in which we could throw stuff at - tons of fun. We were visiting from out of town and I'd love to see similar options where I live. I'd go again if in the area.

My first breakroom experience and I'd say it went as one would hope it would! They've got a variety of different packages for different group sizes and add ons to customize it to your liking. Even an option for a solo 10 minute session! It appears most sessions are 20 minutes and that was great for us. I also love that they have a bluetooth speaker for your own personal soundtrack to the experience. As they require, long sleeves and pants are a must but I also recommend getting the protective disposable suit. I'd also recommend wearing shoes you don't mind getting dirty or buying some shoe covers if you can. I got some unexpected substance on mine (though it washed off easily). Also super easy to work with. When we realized we booked the wrong location they easily let us change it. Thanks Smash It!

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Liquid Descent. My daughter and I signed…read moreup for the beginner rafting trip... and while she was excited... I was terrified. I was so nervous walking in, but from the moment we arrived, every single staff member made us feel welcomed, safe, and supported. Our guide, Koa, was the perfect balance of fun, kind, and incredibly skilled. He guided us through the rapids with such confidence and ease while also making sure everyone felt safe and included. He checked in on us several times throughout and made sure we were having fun, asked us if we wanted to "spice it up" a bit or keep it mellow and just really let us know this was "our" trip and he's cater to what we wanted. I quickly found myself letting go of fear and enjoying the moment... something I didn't expect would happen. Koa's energy was contagious, and his calm, respectful nature made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. At one point on the river, another rafting company had a mishap and we had to pull over and wait for them to recover and get their riders back into the raft safely. Koa explained what had happened with total grace - no judgment, no gossip - just a calm and respectful explanation. He also spoke so kindly of his own coworkers and even the owner of Liquid Descent. You could tell he genuinely cares about the rafting community and takes pride in his work and LOVES his Liquid Descent family! Every employee we encountered was friendly, encouraging, and helpful - from getting us fitted with helmets and life jackets to cheering us on as we headed out. As someone who started out nervous, that kind of supportive vibe made a huge difference. They encouraged me, and they helped me push past my comfort zone in the best way possible. What a GREAT memory! We will remember this day not only for the thrill of the rapids, but for the kindness and heart of the people who guided us through it! If you are considering rafting in Colorado, go with Liquid Descent. I'm so glad we did!
