Sugarbush Health & Recreation Center (SHaRC) — Attraction in Warren

It’s got a lovely pool , and a great one outdoors in the summer.. It can be very crowded in the indoor pool in the cold months if you come too late in the day, because children from surrounding schools come in and swim and there are kids’ swim lessons. There are no adult swim hours, but there are classes for older swimmers in the mornings. It’s nice to see the kids swimming and having a good time. I try to get there early in the day, basically before 1 o’clock. SHARC offers passes for the season, which is the best way to go because it can be quite expensive. They are very kind to open the back door for me (I am disabled and can’t manage all the stairs). There are still some stairs one must use to get to the locker room and bathroom. The SHARC people often have lent me a Styrofoam noodle which I use in some of my physical therapy exercises. Setting this up with them in advance is crucial. I appreciate their help and kindness; and the pool is the best in this area . It’s not huge but good for several people. It is salt water rather than chlorine which is better, Though I do notice a slight chlorinated smell when I come out. It’s a good pool. I have not been there since 2019, due to COVID. It's under new...

A recreational center with lots to offer with a friendly and helpful staff. Nothing beats a long day on the trails, be it skiing, riding or mountain biking, then going for a swim, hot tub and sauna! Besides a gym and indoor and outdoor pool and hot tub, Sugarbush Health and Recreation Center offers a steam room, sauna, indoor rock climbing (you don't need your own equipment, the SHaRK has what you need. What's better than that?), spin classes, yoga, pool aerobics, indoor and outdoor tennis, indoor and outdoor basketball, volleyball, handball and massage therapy. The SHaRK also offers a selection of sporting goods in the retail shop just in incase you don't have what you need to enjoy your experience. The SHaRC has lockers, showers and also supplies towels. The SHaRC can also be rented out for events. What a great place to host a birthday party! I love hitting the indoor pool on a cold snowy day after riding or sitting poolside during the summer and after mountain biking, golfing or hiking. I gave it a rating of 4 stars due to it being a bit outdated but it definitely serves...

Decent gym for the area. Staff is always very friendly and helpful. Nautilus machines and the weight room has lots of equipment packed in to it. Beautiful outdoor pool and hot tub area. Indoor pool and hot tub are also nice and they offer saunas in the locker room. There is also a steam shower and family changing room.

I will say that the building is a bit run down and when equipment breaks it takes quite a while to fix. They also rent the pool area out for birthday parties and while I understand that they do this to make extra money - it's unfortunate that the paying members cannot use the facilities when this occurs - well you can but who wants to sit in a hot tub or a share a pool with 20...
