Green Valley Ranch Recreation Center

Just an average gym. Good price for those who just want to to lift weights and use cardio. Don’t feel the front desk is competent at all as many times I was told I had a membership and would go in the next day and it would be a hassle to get in. Many people use the weight room as a social gathering in the evening times sitting on equipment for more than 30 min at a time just talking and doing very few reps. I also see many kids who are underage taking up space in the gym not doing much but socializing. Best time to go is early morning or on weekends not many people. Average score for an average place. Rate 2.5.

Front desk is hit or miss when it comes to friendliness. Nice gym, good weight room. Also has a cool game room and some open areas for classes. I wish it had: pool, indoor track, steam room/​sauna. Hours aren’t great, wish it’d open earlier and close later, and be open on Sunday!

Finally leaving a review for my rec center! I’ve been going to the GVR Recreation Center for a year and 3 months now, and it’s pretty good for what you pay. Admittedly if there was a 24 Hour Fitness within a 3 mile radius I would probably go there over the rec center, but there isn’t. The recreation center is newer, the building is nice, as are the bathrooms. The fitness equipment is decent, with the exception of a few old treadmills and ellipticals.
Going after work (5:00) is a joke, as all the machines are usually taken by the time I get there from downtown. I do love going during the weekday when I can, early in the morning or on the weekend. Everyone there is super nice — staff and the patrons. I just renewed my membership today…$ 50 for 3 months. Not to bad.
They offer fitness classes, but I haven’t participated in any of them. I assume they are good, because I see lots of people in the classes.
I definitely think if you live in Green Valley Ranch, want to get in shape or continue to be a non-​fatty — this is a great rec center to go to.

Very nice Rec center in my hood! AKA where I live. This rec. isn’t as large as its neighbor in Montbelllo but it is very nice and out of all the rec’s in my general location this one has the nicest Weight Room, so what’s my excuse I have cheap accessible workout facilities literally blocks from me! Two words, pizza and beer!
Really this one of the nicest recs out there and is set up alot better then its neighbor in Montbello. My problem with this rec. is that they take a Gaylord Focker parents to sports and operate that even 29^th place should get a medal. Now I understand that philosophy do I operate under it, hell no! Here is something that many people may not know GVR is home of many of Colorado’s most talented up and coming athletes. GVR’s stance is this is Rec so your kids are to good so hence we end up playing with Suburban teams essentially being ostracized from our own community. Tracy I think runs this Rec or something along these lines we had a heated debate about this last year, after instead of coming to support many girls from her own community she was there as a spy to determine if our girls are to good! Say that to yourself your girls are too good to play here! Sounds moronic does it not? Now I understand the whole fairness thing but pose this question in school if Billy get a F is Alice chastised for getting A’s? There is room for booth ideal’s to exist and instead of turning away your talented kids and forcing them to suburban programs open the doors and step it up a notch with these programs the effect will be more talented kids stay in Neighborhood schools and that cant be bad thing! Tracy is a good person and she does a great job with the rec. and I think our argument made me have a slight crush on her for awhile because she is hot!
Overall this is a great facility for us Green Valley-​ites and soon I will be using the weight room, if this review doesn’t get my banned which with past experiences is a distinct posibilty!
See Ya soon GVR rec
