Washington Regional Center for Exercise

Fantastic experience: I really like this place. My trainer is patient and encouraging and it is not overwhelming like the big gyms are.

Fantastic experience: My sisters and I actually went to swim in the indoor pool and also used the heated soaking pool. Nice place with showers and towels too.

Positive experience: The Center for Exercise at Washington Regional Hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas, offers a pleasant workout experience with a well-rounded set of Cybex machines, including many with handicap-accessible features, as well as a traditional set of barbells and dumbbells. There are also a great variety of cardio machines, including treadmills, stationary and recumbent bikes, elliptical machines, and rowers, among others. This full-service fitness center also sports a pool, group exercise room, and clean locker rooms. Personal trainers are available for an additional fee, if you are that way inclined. One drawback for some people may be their hours of operation, which are somewhat shorter than other gyms I've been a member of. Below is a photo of their hours. Otherwise, the staff is friendly and the equipment and facility are well maintained. I recommend this fitness center!

Fantastic experience: Great place. Clean & well appointed with exercise equipment & a pool. Great staff!

Fantastic experience: Got a good workout.

Negative experience: I used the walking lane for about one year before I quit. I wanted to run/stride/exercise in the lane. Most of the women in the lane used it to stand side by side in the lane and talk. Those who weren't standing used it to hang off the side of the lane and talk. The talkers even told me they didn't want to get their hair wet. Eventually, having to dodge the talkers and standers was just ridiculous.

Fantastic experience: I was at the senior clinic. I have going their since I turned 65. I wanted to see a particular doctor their. All the of the staff are great, kind and so helpful. When you get good hugs from your doctor it says a lot. God bless them all. Even the hospital that they are connected to is great.

Fantastic experience: The facility is great! Front desk staff (Ms. Merri) is friendly and very helpful. There are many exercise options, free weights, treadmills, various bikes, and of course the guided equipment. Staff are on the floor for questions. The pool looks welcoming, I am just slowly increasing my routine. One of the staff said they are are waiting for a water class instructor, but there is lane swimming at specific times, open swimming, also at specific times, and they also have a walking lane. The facility is clean and also provides sanitation wipes once someone has finished using an exercise station. Towels are also provided! Other patrons seem friendly. Parking can be limited, depending on the time of day, so it may be necessary to have to walk on the outside of the building around to the rear entrance of the Center. Interior doors were locked due to some Washington Regional safety policies on my first visit. I am very happy I joined. My insurance provides Silver Sneakers, which is acceptable, and I find this facility to be nicer than one I was a member of in Little Rock.

Fantastic experience: We have just started going to the gym...love it! Everyone is so nice, equipment is is great shape, gym is clean...wish we'd started this a long time ago!

Fantastic experience: Love the therapy pool hot tub!

Fantastic experience: Very well equipped with both free weights and weight machines. The cardio equipment is quite varied, but there are only a couple of units of each version. This gym caters to Washington Regional employees and "older" gym rats as well as serving as an exercise site for long term rehab for people with disabilities. It's a good choice for people looking for a non-competitive environment. The gym is rarely crowded, but Saturday mornings can be busy enough that I have to change the order of a workout or switch to an alternative exercise to keep moving. Personal trainers are available for a reasonable fee.

Fantastic experience: The staff is always so friendly when I walk in. I've been going here for over 5 years now and they still cease to amaze me with their kindness and concern. The equipment is ALWAYS clean and ready to be used.

Fantastic experience: I was unsure of what atmosphere (visited several facilities around the area) may help me get into a routine as a new retiree with arthritis. After 6 weeks using the warm pool I’ve been able to add using the recumbent cardio and gym equipment. I’ve had to miss a few days this week and can’t wait to get back into my routine.

Fantastic experience: They are back open all the time now. Can't wait to get back in the pool. Wonderful place and and wonderful people working there.

Negative experience: Almost killed me

Fantastic experience: I gave this a 5 because I went for a covid test and the nurses were so sweet.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities Nice staff

Negative experience: My mother in law had a brain aneurysm surgery and the whole family was there, about 15-20 of us in all. I first want to say that the surgery went well and she is doing fine today. However they told us that as soon as she would get out of surgery they would let us know. Well they didn't. A 4 hour surgery turned into not knowing anything for 6 six hours. Nobody would even attempt to find out what was going on when we asked. We finally found out where she was after we called the hospital on they phone right in front of the people who were there to help us. While they surgeon did his job no one really in that place did. They need to figure out the family is almost as important as the patient.

Fantastic experience: Staff that really cared. Family member had a stroke so we had lots of questions, so we are glad the ambulance brought her here

Fantastic experience: Very kind, competent, and respectful staff, from receptionist to physician.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Staff and facility and accessable for the disabled the pool is great too.
