Super cool place!! So much to offer from Large Water slides (were closed this day) to a large area for little kids to play in, theres a lazy river and diving board. They have a swimsuit ringer outter lol, lots and lots of changing rooms, showers, lockers, all free with $10/per person entry!! The whole center has much more, basketball court, tennis courts, kids zone with slides, they have party rooms off the pool and probably other areas. They give swim lessons there Also! Im not even sure what else! Was a perfect place to go on a day that wasnt very warm outside and going to an outdoor park or pool wouldnt have been as enjoyable.

Great swimming area (havent tried the other areas of the facility). The whole rec center is very nice and new and a great addition to the area. Recently had a birthday party and could have used more time in the party room, but overall the kids and parents had a great time. Great for all ages.

Probably the best indoor pool in Kansas City for kids. It’s not that conducive for swimming laps but the slide is HUGE.

Excellent facility—the employees are fantastic! Always ready with a friendly greeting, and they try to get to know you—it gives it a small town feel.I love the classes and the way that the organization makes it easy during COVID to access the amenities within own comfort zone—I can use a spin bike outside the classroom at any time. Love it!!I was most impressed with how they handled the COVID situation. They communicated with us quickly and did not charge us. They allowed us to stop our membership without any repercussions and gave us time hacks within which to make decisions about staying or leaving for the time being. It was handled very professionally—I was amazed.Although I have had some trepidation with using Kid Zone, I am amazed with some of the staff who have gently taught me how to let my child go—it was very hard for me, a new mom. They also get to know you and your child. I do make sure I leave my child with the individuals I feel the safest with and take an active role in ensuring her safety.This is a great place to be a member. I am always telling people I meet about it—and will continue to.

Review №19

Overall seemed like a nice gym. Me and some buddies went to play basketball here and how I understand it now, is that you may only shoot a few baskets without playing actual games on the court due to health guidelines. When I signed in I was told no pickup games with others, which I took as keeping it limited to your own group. Upon getting upstairs to the court we were being told that we could not play any actual games. All of this is fine and a simple misunderstanding, but the manager that helped us with our refunds was very snarky and told us as we were walking out “ask questions next time it’ll save you a lot of time.” She came off as rude and very condescending through it all. Management could use a decent amount of work.

Excellent facility. Great machines and basketball courts. Staff is very nice. However, they do have trouble enforcing the masking policy on the basketball court. While 4 on 4 half court basketball is currently allowed without a mask, a mask is required if players are standing on the sideline. Despite reminders from staff to wear masks, the sideline players, mostly teenagers, refuse to comply. As we ramp up vaccination, I hope situations like this dont contribute to a resurgence of COVID. Those teenagers have personal responsibility too and they are not following through. Im fine with allowing half court basketball at limited capacity - BUT I think everyone should wear a mask while playing and while on the sideline. I think ideally the rule should be to allow 3 on 3 half court, but mandatory masks on and off the court, until summer time when vaccinations will have reached a much greater portion of the population, then re-evaluate. I think that is a reasonable compromise. Many gyms dont allow pickup at all, like the KU Med Kirmayer gym. Currently if you go to the basketball courts at Lenexa Rec Center, it reminds one of a superspreader event.

Spent a day at the Rec Center with my daughter and our neighbor. They had a great time playing in the indoor pool area. I love the fact that there are many different aspects to appeal to people of various ages and swim skill level. What I found to be disappointing was that some of the swim area is significantly lower than the rest, and if you have children of different swim skills, you can’t always keep your eyes on multiple parts of the facility because of the way it is set up. The layout made it very difficult to be a supervising adult for two kids at the same time, which is one of the posted rules, that children under 14 cannot swim unsupervised.

I love the Lenexa Rec Center. Admittedly, I have not used the facility due to the pandemic (trying to be cautious). However, beforehand, I liked to walk the track. There are many types of machines and classes that I look forward to using in the future.

This place is awesome! So much to do for every age group! The pool has a lazy river for those who like to walk/aerobics, the big slides for bigger kids, a smaller pool for kiddos/babies and then a rock wall with a deeper end. It was relatively cheap to swim as well.

The Rec Center is a great place to work out. Its always in good condition and clean. It has about everything you need: lifting equipment (both racks and dumbbells), other equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, stair steppers), indoor running/walking track, lap swimming lanes, gym for shooting hoops, locker room with showers.What really sets the Rec Center apart is its staff. They are always super helpful and friendly. No matter how early you show up in the morning, they always greet you with a smile and a hello or good morning. I really appreciate this.Overall, the Lenexa Rec Center is a great place and a good environment in which to work out.

I just finished taking a small group pickleball lesson with Jeremy. I had played 2-3 times a month for the last 2 years until I recently retired, I am more than a beginner but not quite ready for tournaments. I am, now playing 2-3 times a week and find myself getting better each time. Jeremy worked with 4 of us, giving us pointers and working with us on drills to tweak our level of play. It was the best $25 I spent! I encourage all levels to sign up for one of the M or W hour long lessons being offered the month of February.

Kid Zone - 5 starsStaff is friendly, building is clean and has a lot to do for the kiddos. When it comes to the Weights in the gym there could be more equipment. I feel that the design of the building does NOT support the amount of people lifting weights. Maybe they can build a second building and connect with a catwalk to West. I cant imagine how busy this place will be 5 years down the road especially with how much Lenexa is growing...

My whole family had so much fun in the indoor pool today! It comes alive at 4 p.m. and its like a water park. Its extremely clean and safely constructed. There are high velocity jets all over this water world. Which means fast water slides and massaging jets. The water is cooler so if you are swimming or working out a lot, it will feel like butter. There are other activities to do here like an indoor park and gyms, I couldnt even get to them. Spend your money here!

This is a beautiful and well designed facility but the pool is way too cold. Our older son is a fish and will happily swim in the Galveston beach in December, but he asked not to do swim lessons here again because of the temperature, and the baby doesnt like the splash area. The therapy pool is a few degrees warmer and feels like a normal pool temperature, but it can get crowded and is much smaller. The slides are fantastic though! Hopefully they can get the temperature thing worked out but for now we limit our visits to the hottest days of summer when we all need a nice cold dunk.

The pool manages to pack a welcome and creative variety of activities into a moderate sized but very aesthetically pleasing space. Two great slides, a splash park, water basketball, swimming lanes, diving platform, warm pool, climbing wall over deep water, a current channel, and generous activity free water. Lifeguards are vigilant but courteous. Loved it.

Its a beautiful and clean facility with a pool for exercising and fun. The running track provides an excellent view of the surrounding area that includes both a flat running surface or a longer track that includes an incline for more of a challenge. For weight lifters, the equipment is brand-new and there are several trainers available although Ive never used one. There arent as many strength training machines for accessory exercises as some gyms, but there are several benches, two squat racks, and a deadlift platform and plenty of dumb bells.

Great new facility with most of what anyone needs to work out. If your a bodybuilder or a workout freak you probably should stay at lifetime, but this will definitely fit the needs of most people. Also the pool area is really great for adults as well as families. Plus the pricing is really affordable.

New and clean! Packed with activities for children, adults and seniors. Very reasonable pricewise and the memberships are really a huge value depending on your needs. ( include unlimited classes, etc.) Fairly decent workout area, plenty of cardio equipment, walking and running track with a view almost every step of the way, filtered water, bathrooms on every floor, commons area with coffee.... Theres too much to list! But bring your own towels. That isnt even a drawback for most people though. 😎

My family and I go here several times a week and we absolutely love it. The place is always clean, and the staff is super friendly. Most employees go out of their way to make us feel welcome. This facility is one of the many reasons that I fell in love with Lenexa and hope it is my home for many years to come. Today, I was injured (I was outside racing with my son post workout, and boy am I clumsy), and the staff wasted no time to help, even engaging my children and making them feel calm. That meant a lot to me. I really appreciate the staff here. Thank you guys!

Super fun pool area with really great water slides! our family has been 3 times now and really like all it has to offer. The only draw back is the pool area has been really cold every time weve been. the only pool that is enjoyable is the warm pool. we have a 2 1/2 year old and she can only play in the kids area for a few minutes before shivering and turning purple. went to a splash with me event with a friend and her kids and spent more time changing in and out of swimsuits than we did in the pool. they dont even have the warm pool open during that time so kids (and adults) can warm up.

Our kids (3 & 1 y/o) LOVED the pool! Theres also stuff that older kids would enjoy too -- huge slide, lazy river, etc. For parents with little kids, the family changing room area was the best Ive ever seen -- lots of rooms and lockers.I didnt work out, but the fitness center was huge and equipment looked brand new. The track having an incline option (or not) is a nice touch too. There are gazillions of fitness classes too, if thats what your looking for.Wow, Lenexa has a gem here!

Review №79

Wonderful facility! Everything is new and clean! The people werent too pushy to switch memberships, which was a plus. Oh and the kids love the indoor pool thats basically like an indoor miniature water park with multiple slides, a rock wall climbing thing coming out of the pool, diving board, rapid wave river area, and a play place for the little ones, plus so much more! My only complaint is the rates are ridiculous for a Lenexa resident family membership! But I have always believed you get what you pay for and its a great facility.

This is a big beautiful place in the center of town. Its a little confusing how to get in the place but once inside everyone was super friendly. We went swimming in the 4 pools. They have a kid play area that goes from 0 to 3 foot deep with playground type equipment. They have a lazy River and lap lane area that is about 4.5 feet deep everywhere. They have a 90 degree warming pool that has a 4 foot bubble seat area to a 6.5 foot swim against the flow deeper spot. The also have 2 three story slides The fourth pool is 13.5 foot deep with a 20+ foot climbing wall plus a 3m platform to jump from. It was super clean and looked very nice.

Review №91

I really like this place. Its still clean and new. The only reason Im not giving it a 5 star is because of the pool temp. We bounce back and forth between the Olathe and Lenexa rec centers and Olathe keeps their pool noticeably warmer. My 4 year old has actually commented on it so It must be significant enough for him to not only remember but acknowledge.

Review №94

Modern facility but with some serious errors in the design and concept. THe pickleball courts downstairs that are available for non members with a reasonable fee, are very congested and with too low roof, not suitable for good players. They have a huge gym in the second floor with ample space that is totally misused with only two volley/basket courts (they could fit at least 4 volleyball courts in that space). But the worst is that their fee system does not work well to have sports in the main gym (volleyball, basketball or even pickle ball) as they require membership or a full day pass, at a non competitive price. Too expensive daily passes (about $10) deter non members from going there for sports, there is no organization (levels) for volleyball or basketball. End result is that the courts are empty most of the time or used almost exclusively for pickleball or shooting hoops. Ping pong only table is at a location (main lobby) that deters any good player from using it and (again) no organized system for its use, hit and miss if children will be playing there. Unfortunate that Lenexa has such nice facilities (Community Center and Rec Center) and people chose to go and play somewhere else (Shawnee, Roeland Park, Olathe, etc.) due to bad or inexistent programs. Quite disappointing.
