Bainbridge Island Recreation Center

Aqua fit class. Full. The only male, older gentleman, prohibited me from taking a desired spot in the water because "he has to use the wall to exercise". Unacceptable. I paid to be there. I think he is possibly an employee of the facility. Next time I will address the issue with the management.

I am moving out of the country and they charged me for an additional month after cancelling. Clearly this place hired some manager from a 24 Hour Fitness or something because they are adopting predatory practices found in the larger chains. It’s has also morphed into a free daycare over the years so it’s packed with un-monitored kids all hours of the day.

I give the Center two stars primarily due to the high cost. The monthly membership is expensive, and the drop-in rates are exorbitant. However, Kristine’s Strength & Conditioning class is excellent, and the Center provides towels at no additional charge, although they sometimes run out.
