Went for a kids birthday party. The pool area was very clean and nice and they had a lot of slides and attractions for little kids. There were 8 kids attending the party but they only had tables and chairs set up for 6. So 2 kids had no seats and had to stand and eat and there were not any seats at all for adults to eat pizza and other treats at the party. Party was from 4:45 to 6pm. Lifeguards had to do individual swimming assessments with each child before they were allowed in the water. So kids got in water about 5pm. They got out at 5:45 to eat pizza and food. Place closed at 6pm so we were rushed out of there. Kids only had 45 minutes in water. There was simply not enough time. Also, the floor area around the pool had just been painted and was extremely slippery when wet, which made no sense at all.

Great value, great facility. Basketball courts could be maintained a bit better, though. More yoga classes would be nice as well.

Great place, friendly staff and pretty clean. However the showers in the women’s bathroom almost never run hot and the place seemingly doesn’t use AC even in the summer.. I’m a bit tired of sticking to machines. Will come back overall.

I had my fathers life celebration here after his passing. Everyone was very kind and helpful. They kept checking on us to make sure we had everything. I rented two connecting rooms and it was perfect. They had tables and chairs and I was able to connect into their speaker system to play music. It was a perfect place.

My son and I were the only ones in the pool. The lifeguards opened up the slide, and let him go down a few times while no one else was there. It made his day. Your staff is great!

I enjoy(ed) it here havent been cause of the covid deal but now there is a online set-up happening where attendance is limited. Anyway, my rating is based on the thousands of times I have been. Lovely basketball gym, swimming pool and running track, lots of fun! Very clean work out equipment too.

Overall a great place to work out and have fun. My wife and I like to rock climb and this place even has a small climbing area. Decent size wall, some challenging routes and even a bouldering wall to enjoy. Some cluttered work out machines that are a little close and tight workout areas kept it from 5 stars, but a nice large gym space and good equipment kept it strong, as well as a nice pool and locker area. Great attentive staff as well!

I love this gym! Such fantastic group fitness classes. Unfortunately I just moved to Longmont and joined Golds, and this has really made me appreciate all that the Erie rec has to offer. Nice new equipment, clean facility, enthusiastic and creative instructors. Im missing the Erie rec! Special thanks to Ashley, Tracy, Reina, and Michelle...always loved attending their classes and will keep coming whenever Im in the area.

I have been trying to take my son to the Erie community skatepark every night for about a week. The lights will not turn on!!!!!!! This is the only time that works for my very busy schedule from work to managing a full house. You have disappointed me and my son greatly. The rec center employees are very rude and will not couparate every time we call we get lie after lie.

Decent gym with a decent weight pile. They have lateral pull down machine, they do not have incline bench press. There is a punching bag/machine which is a nice touch. They do not have a sauna or steam room. The pool is small and the hot tub is pretty weak as in low pressure and heat levels. It also has a nice track, basketball gym, and rock climbing.

We have a family membership, and the price is very reasonable. I take several fitness classes, and my kids use the Kid Station during that time. My kids have also done some group activities here. All of the staff is very kind and helpful. The facilities are clean, and we love coming here. With Erie growing as fast as it is, it is sometimes difficult to get a cardio machine.

Ive been a member for 3 years and use all parts of the facility. The classes are fabulous especially Boot Camp.and Intervals; fabulous teachers, great fellow positive members, and awesome workouts! Indoor track is great when its cold.outside and the pickle ball games are well attended and always fun! Gym needs more professional trainers for people who want a significant workout that challenges them and really builds greater strength and definition.

Review №19

This community center is bogged down by the town of Eries heavy-handed municipal bureaucracy. The staff has a constant turnover, and are put on the front desk before they are properly trained. When issues arise due to their lack of training, members are blamed. Also, the community centers administrative computer programs never work properly, and only make monetary errors that favor the town. Finally, it should be noted that during the Pandemic, I called the Weld County Dept. of Health when I learned that the community center was planning to open the Childrens Camp in violation of current public safety directives. Later that day, I received a phone message from the Erie Police Department wanting to explain it to me. I felt I was being strongarmed!That being said, the facility is clean, and the members are very nice.

Clean, and had everything I needed to get a quick workout and shower before heading into work. The rock wall and bouldering added some nice variation. Perfect if your looking for something thats close, and isnt contract based.

They have a great staff, and the building is well maintained. The weight lifting equipment is high quality, although the weight room is a bit small. They have a fantastic rock wall for any level climbers, and a great selection of kid programs. The only thing I felt was missing is a mat room with one or two heavy bags for kicking and punching. They do have a boxing rig just next to the running track, but its not quite the same. Otherwise, a fantastic rec center.

Terrific facility. The personal trainers and classes are the best in Erie and around. Less expensive that the personal gyms in Erie. You cant go wrong on a facility that is 5 or so years old. I like everything except the chlorine or bromine in pool is a tad high for my skin. I would go to this facility first before going to any other place around.

Review №36

Not a bad rec center for a town this size. There is a very nice weightlifting room. That said, they seriously lack accommodations for non adults. About the only thing they offered now is the pool. They used to have areas for younger kids and teens, but they removed them and replaced them with infrequently used exercise classrooms. The hours are modest, but managing the budget I know has been struggle and they do what they can. There are several meet meeting rooms that are available for rent which is great, and the racquetball courts are very popular.

Nice place to workout. I like the annual upgrades. Lockers/showers are nasty and lacking clothes spinner/dryer. Kids checkin is tedious and child care staff have no clue how to deal with children to keep them occupied so parents can work out. Over obsession with checking ins

Pool is great, especially for kids. Swirling pool and slide is awesome.The free weight area needs to be revised however. Only one rack for squatting and not much room for doing any kind of barbell work.

Review №39

Theres only one padded floor station for deadlifts, and theres only one station to do incline or decline bench. And sometimes theyll be in use by someone just doing pull ups. So a lot of people just awkwardly circle that area. If youre workout is a little off the reservation and very dumbbell heavy youll be fine. If you have a standard workout routine expect to be waiting for stations.

Review №46

Despite the fact that the town of Erie continues to grow rapidly, the Erie Community Center continues to cancel evening classes. Its apparent they arent concerned about accommodating the greater community since their evening offerings are sparse at best. The Community center itself is nice, but the management is highly questionable. They continue to ignore the demands of the members. I thought we paid their salary??

Review №51

The people are great. The problem I have is that we spent $700 for a family membership and can’t use the basketball court because there seems to always be organized games. The pool is usually crowded. We also have to wait or walk the lame track because we are waiting for a machine to open up. Not saying I don’t want to go, it’s just not worth a yearly membership.

OK for the price but NOT Kid friendly: removed a highly used & well loved game/lounge area - was perfect Kids too old for Daycare Room & too young for working out.Crowded during busy times.Needs expanded facilities.Never in 5 yrs have they asked members what they want - no outreach.

Review №56

Two lifeguards made my seven year old cry twice in the span of ten minutes. Communication at this rec center is horrendous. If you have an adult swim scheduled, parents should be able to see it posted. If you have given lessons to a child for a year, ongoing, you should recognize that the child, WHO IS A RESIDENT, can swim in her home pool without intimidating her to the point of tears to take a swimming test. Never have I experienced such a ridiculous show of poor public service. F-

As a lap swimmer, Id like to see a few basic upgrades. 1. Backstroke flags would be nice. 2. More lap swim hours with all 3 lanes available. 3. Better kick boards that were actually made for adults. 4. Maybe bump the hot tub temp up just a little. A luke warm bath after a swim isnt all that rewarding....

It might not be the most high tech gym around, but it gets the job done and is close for Erie residents. Lots of cardio machines, free weights area is pretty good, and there is a circuit area as well. There is an indoor track which I believe is 1/11 of a mile in length. The hardwood courts host basketball, volleyball, pickleball and more. As for the swimming pool, there is a lazy river, water slide, kids area, hot tub, and 3 lanes when lap swimming is open. There is a rock climbing wall, daycare area, and kids play structure. Lots of meeting rooms as well. The locker rooms are sufficient and there is a family locker room where you can go and change with your kids. Everything is well taken care of and I am able to do what I need to do there with very little to complain about.

What should have been a special Day for my one year old’s birthday was ruined by a staff member at the Erie Community Center. For sake of privacy I will only use first initials. We had a fabulous experience with the front staff person A. And the maintenance person P. Huge thank you to both of them for their politeness and excellent customer service!!Now on to Assistant Coordinator of Guest Service Operations V.D. who should never be in costumer service. She came in the room with an extremely negative attitude about EVERYTHING. We specifically asked the Rec. Center staff on multiple occasions prior to the event what was permitted to be hung on the walls. We took extra precautions and made sure to hang things on metal, plastic or freestanding items that we brought it. She decided to go around and take pictures of everything telling us rules were broken. I asked her to politely leave the room and she told me to not use that language 🧐 She then proceeded to ask us if we would want someone to come to our house and “ruin” it, we told her we took all necessary precautions to respect their property. Throughout the party she was standing in the Kitchen area taking pictures with out my permission with young children present on her personal cell phone( this is NOT ok). After the event we asked to do a walkthrough with V.D. We left the room in PERFECT condition but she still choose to be rude and curt with us.I am a Colorado native and have lived in Erie for 14 years and love to keep business within our wonderful little town. I even am a small business owner in Erie as well. However people like this who are in a “customer service” role are ruining revenue to the City. I was a PAYING repeat customer who did nothing wrong but was treated horribly and “policed” through the event.As a mom or dad I wanted to let you know my personal experience as I hope none of you have to deal with the sheer rudeness and unfortunately I will take my business somewhere else outside Erie.I would happily suggest taking a deposit and if there is damage charge accordingly. Otherwise please don’t harass your customers and “police” them through their special event.**To not make this a novel I have summed up the events. I am happy to privately give any more details. Also I will be contacting the Recreation Supervisor and Recreation Coordinator to discuss my concerns and experience.

Review №91

Me and my 2 other mom friends brought our little ones all under the age of 7 to the pool. We got yelled at and reprimanded for everything you could think of. For being too close to the water slide, not being in arms length of my children who can swim at all times, for my children warming up in the hot tub, sitting on the hot tub stairs, climbing over a knee height wall into the water, going down the kids water slide wrong, you name it. If I ever come here again I need to first request a handbook of the 100s of rules for swimming here. I felt very disrespected and disappointed, my friend left she got sick of being bossed around. The Broomfield rec center is much more relaxed and fun! You don’t have to worry about playing the wrong way, and you won’t have 15 year olds boss you around all day telling your children how to act.
