The Centre of Elgin — Local services in Elgin

Gym: The fitness staff is awesome! I love working out every morning. Jim, Eric, Cliff, Rod and Calvin are the best and make a very welcoming atmosphere! I love those guys!

Women's Only workout room: My wife loves this room, as she wants to workout in a protected, nonjudgmental environment. The Centre has a nice room for women.

Track: Very nice and usually not overcrowded, except on Saturday mornings. It is very overloaded on those days.

Pool: Nice and inviting! The lifeguards and front desk staff are very nice. The lifeguards are trained well. They do have family locker rooms and showers. I love the therapy pool, but it can be closed for therapy sometimes. the pool can be overcrowded in the early morning, as people are getting their daily laps in.

Kids' Pool: Fun and parents can go in with their kids. We have so much fun! I do think some of the bigger kids should watch out for the littler kids. Kids are kids. Oh well!

Member locker rooms: New carpet was just put in and the locker rooms were recently updated. I would suggest in the future for the lockers to have more shelves instead of hanging room. Most people bring their clothes to the gym folded, not on hangers. Otherwise, you have a hot tub, sauna and separated shower stalls. What more could you want!

Front Desk staff: They have improved and will call you back after leaving a message.

Climbing Wall: Looks fun and the kids seem to like it!

Birthday parties: My sons have had a total of four birthday parties at the Centre and we love it! You get one hour for the celebration part and two hours for the kids to go swimming. An awesome party for under $200.

We love the Centre of...

The facility was great but USA Youth Hoops from Indiana( Amy to be exact)... who hosted a basketball tournament 5/25-5/27 called the police on our family because she thought we were trying to sneak in after spending $60 for weekend passes the day prior. I informed her that the guy working the table an hour or so earlier took the band that was on my purse and stated when my husband parked that he would give him another one. I went to the table to remind the guy of the conversation we just had an hour ago and he acted as if the conversation didn't take place. I didn't mention that we drove to Chicago from St. Louis and missed 2 of my son games that day because Amy has the police to make us leave. After Amy assaulted my husband and waited for the police to leave she tried to give my husband his pass stating she had a change of heart....after we had missed the game and dealt with the cops. Sometime you have to listen and use common sense but Amy had it already made up in her mind that we were trying to sneak in...what a shame. Then I called a guy name Will to discuss the issue and he could care even less than Amy. We shell out major cash traveling to see our children play then pay to get into tournaments only to have the COPS called for her to put on a dramatic show and say...

Rating their Fitness Center: This place has potential to be a great workout facility. Sadly, there are a few things they lack on. Prices can be a little too high for what they offer, reaching out to a manager online can be a struggle, if you want to speak to someone in person about a concern it has to be in the morning no afternoon admin staff, their hours of operation are not the most convenient; it would be beneficial to close a little later during the week and open earlier on weekends, machine cords (cables) are all over the place waiting for an accident to happen, staff is not always friendly; while not necessary, staff should be able to clean/wipe down machines every hour for clients to focus on their routine. On the other hand, their music selection is always on point, parking is wide, everyone can ask for a locker, track is free, machines are semi-new, sauna & whirlpool are always...
