How can you not love a place like this? Check it:State of the art fitness equipment.Raised indoor track, 1/6th of a mile around.Professional, certified fitness training staff on site.Indoor pool open year-round.Two full-size gymnasiums with all the amenities.And so much more!The Lenexa Rec Center is a crown jewel of the burgeoning 'City Center' space in western JoCo. Buttressed up against City Hall and the newest JoCo library branch, the Rec Center offers year-round enjoyment. Besides the opportunity for personal fitness, exercise classes, or just free play, the Rec Center offers a community space with loads of classes for all ages. You could even request to host parties or small events here, with staff at the ready to help you during your event.The indoor pool is a real draw, open year-round, save for maintenance windows. There are two indoor slides (the longest in the state), a 25M swim lane area, diving well, and a lazy river. The shallows are ultra-kid friendly, wading to low depths with sprinkles and splashes to boot! You can even find your way to the warm water wellness pool, kept at 90° and perfect for therapeutic relaxation.I'm spoiled because this spot is in my neighborhood, though you don't have to be a Lenexa resident to join. There are other places very similar scattered about town, but for the price, the value FAR exceeds the expectation. Covered parking, food amenities next door, shopping, and more are within steps. Come try Lenexa; I promise you'll love it.

Since having two babies back to back, I told my husband I wanted to join a gym. It needed to have childcare so I began my search. Pricing is very reasonable for a family of four with childcare added. When you first walk in there is a huge slide that my kids absolutely love and never get bored of. Most of the childcare workers are super nice and great with my kiddos. There are two sides to childcare and one side has a gym. I wish there was an outdoor playground but that's ok! For me, I need to be bossed around to work out so I attend the classes. My favorite instructor is definitely Ashlynn, she's great. I attend Barre class, Zumba, and sometimes a circuit class. It can get very busy at times but this is a community center! They have a toddler splash and play and a toddler indoor play event Tuesdays. For a family with young kids, this is the perfect gym.

My husband and I have been members for just over a year now and have really enjoyed it! I can really only attest to the classes (Group X Fitness) as that's primarily why I joined. While the variety of classes varies seasonally, there's typically a good variety of strength, cardio, and mind/body classes. Some of my favorites have been: barre, cardio sculpt, circuit training, and zumba. I've also enjoyed trying pilates and barbell-based classes. Great instructors and I love how each one brings their own spin or twist to class! I have used the fitness floor, pool, or gym spaces much, so I can't speak to those as well. I know my husband generally likes the equipment available on the fitness floor but due to limited numbers of some equipment, he doesn't always get to use what he wants in the hour or so we are typically there.

Quick and easy to get a day pass for $10. The facility is top notch and they even have a massive multi level parking garage which is free. Tons of various sports courts, an indoor track, tons of cardio equipment, decent weight training area, showers, locker rooms, pool area and more. If I lived close by I would be getting a membership.Highly recommend the place.

This place is superb! The swimming pool is great and there is a court where my group plays dodgeball for free! This place is newish and so clean. Birthday parties are affordable here. I think it's like $180 flat fee for about 25-30 people to swim for 2 hours. Their locker rooms and rest rooms are very clean and roomy and well.Parking is great as there are plenty to park in the garage behind the Rec center. This whole area is growing like crazy and I have nothing but good things to say about this place! Families come here in droves as well.

The pool facility is lovely . I do hope sometime soon children are not allowed in the wellness pool . This should only be for adults who are stretching and exercising , and relaxing . I've been kicked , splashed , and had to put up with screaming from children allowed in the wellness pool . I do love the Pickleball gym and all my new friends !

Woman at the front desk gave me a horrible experience. I was trying to add a member to my Family membership and she gave such a hard time and said the whole situation was "fishy". Me and my family won't be back here again. Rude and Disrespectful at its finest. Just sad that she doesn't realize the main reason anyone even pays her is to add members to the gym and help customers. Congratulations on running off an entire family.

The new Lenexa Rec Center is GORGEOUS. I've never been happier to walk into an establishment to exercise. Our family has truly bonded by spending time at the center playing basketball, pickle ball, and working out. Parking is easy in the garage, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the space is designed perfectly. Windows surround the "spongy" indoor track, and the views of the golf course and the city of Lenexa are spectacular. The equipment, the locker rooms, and the pool are like nothing else in Johnson County. Membership for residents is only $70 a month per family, but not much more for non-residents. Bonus... the treadmills have tv, and virtual reality walking/running trails throughout about 10 cities. I really hate working out, but the Lenexa Rec Center is seriously a place I look forward to seeing again and again.

Such a good, small community. 4 stars only because the floors and equipment can be quite dirty at times. It's a rec center, so not much equipment. I do wish they had more cable attachments. It seems like some attachments have gone missing overtime. With that being said, when the gym is busy it's hard to find a bench, machine or rack. Most staff members are extremely friendly and helpful, it's truly a plus! Thank you

If you are a Senior and need the pool, this is not the gym facility for you. Lots of kids. No room in the Therapy pool. Limited lap lane availability.
