Prairie Life has a rap as, I believe one put it, a yuppie gym, and thats not entirely untrue. Youll almost always find 13 year olds and those who still think they are 13 lounging around, pretending to work out as they barely touch even five pound weights. It is undeniably a social atmosphere. And those that work there are often high school athletes who act like gods. So certainly, if youre looking for a gym where youll get hard-core trainers and support from like-minded folks, look elsewhere, because PL will drive you nuts. But if you, like me, dont want to be bothered during your workout and can very easily work as an individual and ignore the socialites, PL is a good place. Theyve got a large facility equipped with several machines, two pools, basketball/raquetball courts, and nicely furnished locker rooms with steam, sauna and whirlpool. Yes, you will find yuppes, but if that doesnt bother you, PL isnt so bad.

I have never experienced such horrible customer service in my life. I booked a massage and I arrive to my appointment only to hear the massage therapist is not here and no one can get ahold of her. I was told to wait which I did for 30 minutes with no updates and no one apologized to me once for the inconvenience. It was a situation handled so poorly I couldnt believe it. Do not book a massage here, save yourself the time and disappointment and go to a salon that treats their clients and customers with respect. Oh and shows up to work when they have appointments.

I can say from someone who has lived all around the world, is an executive and business owner I have never been treated so rudely as I was by the GM Debbie and her staff. Your a number a Prairie Life not a client or future client. They have the worst PR Ive seen in a business ever and I was hung up on by their GM Debbie. DO NOT GO TO PRAIRIE LIFE.. MAKE THE EXTRA DRIVE AND GO TO LIFETIME FITNESS or heck the YMCA would likely give better service than the staff and management at Prairie Life. THUMBS DOWN. WARNING

If you decide to ignore the reviews and go to this gym anyway, be sure to try it at different times of the day. Completely adequate gym during the day, but they lock up portions at night, and the place is over-run by high-school students hanging out. Additionally, they failed to off the services I was paying for, but still charged an early termination fee. Go somewhere else.

Good gym, has a completely redone basketball court and loads of cardio equipment. Has mostly everything for both beginner and intermediate weightlifting. Has great strength trainers that can help with general to sport specific training. Only problem with this gym is it has very few squat racks. Overall a very clean and well equipped fitness center.

Theres a lot of potential here, but I would recommend you workout here 3-4 times before you sign up. When I was here there were a lot of things that needed updating. The pull up bars ben under 180 lbs of pressure. The treadmills skip, a lot when I would run on them. The carpeting in the mens room needs to go.

I like hot tub. Soak in it I do. Sometimes more. I play basketball in court too, nice court, balsa wood I think. Great ball bouncing surface. I find the teenage workers to be friendly and skilled in their positions. I give this place 20 noodles.

Having both an indoor and outdoor pool is nice, but equipment and facilities should be in better condition for what they charge.
