NRH Centre — Attraction in North Richland Hills

I go here for the pool. Its like a little water park. I wish it had more lap lanes or the lifeguards would keep people from crossing into the lanes to get to the hot tub. Children also play in the lanes and get in the way when lap swimming. They have no respect and neither the parents nor the lifeguards think hm maybe I should tell those pests to get out of the lap lanes people are using. I usually go to be a mermaid and I always keep my distance when swimming and give people plenty of space and watch for them so we don't collide or they get smacked with a fin. You would think the same courtesy would be extended to us and any other swimmers in the lanes.

(If you are reading this and a mermaid please for the love of god do NOT have a big meet here and ruin it for us. Someone already got us banned from the rock wall pool we used to be allowed in.)

Has absolutely the best locker/changing room also but the floors are way too slick. I have almost fallen and I have seen people fall. Definitely wear shoes or water socks in...

Can the lifeguards please take a chill pill. Whistling and yelling at little kids even when the parents are right by them for every little thing. Just got a membership for my family and i and we are NOT coming back. My 1 year old was going down the slide and there was NO ONE behind her and one of the lifeguards kept yelling and blowing the whistle to come down. Again, there was no one in line so it wasn’t necessary for the yelling. They pressure me to let my daughter go and she nearly drowned when she went down as the water was too fast on the bottom. I felt so bad for my daughter as she experienced her first drowning experience just because the lifeguards pressured me to hurry up and let her go down. I’ve been a beach lifeguard myself and I have never behaved in such a way. Lifeguards, please be kind to parents with young children, y’all made me feel like a failure when i listened to you. Be kind to children and act like you want to work there or at...

Positives: Its clean, its a very nice facility (aesthetically), the family environment is great (for families), and the staff at the front desk is always helpful.

Negatives: (1) The "gym" is much too small. It has nice equipment but as far as usability and practicality it is severely lacking. The use of space inhibits anything other than a boring traditional workout. (2) The personal training staff takes up an unnecessary amount of space when training a client in an already tight area. (3) Males cannot wear cut off shirts because "too many members have complained." This is unreasonable. The reason for coverage in a gym is health associated not member acceptability associated.

The NRH centre is a great facility. I give it two stars because I feel its not the right place if you are only looking for a gym. It is very successful at welcoming and entertaining families and if I were a father I would probably...
