Twin Lakes Recreation Center

Here for an all day volleyball tournament and specifically told no outdoor food or drink due to concessions. We could not even bring a cooler in with our daughter's sports drinks. Their concessions are at the ticket counter and they have a box of chips and a cooler of drinks. That is it for an all day event with numerous teams here from out of town to compete. If you are going to host tournaments and charge people to get in, then you should at least have provisions that are advertised. So very disappointed.

I'm surprised no one reviewed this place because it has been around forever! Anyway, this is a great gym. I recommend trying to get one of their school year specials or prepaying up front. A friend of ours did month to month, canceled, moved out of state and they still kept billing her! Because of this, I knocked 1 star off. I did the no contract, more expensive rate sign up so when my membership ended, I could disappear without them trying to bill me.. They have a website where you can see pictures of the place and get some prices without having to go in. It is: www.bloomingtonsportsplex.com . The nicest thing about this gym is that there is no wait usually. At times there might be in the early evenings for the ellipticals, but they usually have a sign posted for a 20 minute limit while there is a wait which is great. The air here is generally well circulated so there isn't the stench of sweat. They have showers and lockers here which is good for the early morning workout or workout before heading home. They have several like 4 or more basketball courts which also have netting to be volley ball courts, free weights, an indoor soccer field and the usual machines of sorts. They aren't 24 hours, but then again it is rare for anyone to try to work out here in Bloomington during the night. The parking is plentiful except those days when they have games. The staff is courteous and they never pressure you to sign up for anything you don't want to. They have a subway inside for those days you want to eat healthy and you don't need a membership to grab a sandwich here. During the summers they have a trapeze set up which is really neat. Check it out!

Been using facility a year and it's very clean, not crowded in the early mornings and has a nice little track and good equipment. While the door person is always cheerful, i do find some of the staff difficult and sometimes rude. In particular this was so when I had a membership issue and was asked to pay new member fee again after going there for a year and then again when I had a parking problem in the evening, getting a snippy response to my inquiry on where to park. I have not figured out how to resolve the new member fee so I am not going there now but overall a well maintained facility.

No wait times ever and all of the equipment you could need for a gym to stay in shape. The only basketball courts are the only things that really get busy there while you can always call their staff ahead of time and ask what the day looks like. Staff is always on top of it and quick to help with anything and answer questions anyone has.
