Juniper Swim & Fitness Center

Positive experience: There are only six treadmills and in the evenings they can be completely full for the whole time you're there. Unfortunately due to this we're having to keep our planet fitness membership.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here since I was a toddler and I still love swimming here! Nothing has changed, except maybe the prices.

Fantastic experience: This place is great. The women's locker room is always clean, the pools are beautiful, and the fitness center has a good variety of equipment. Some of the facilities and equipment are showing their age, but staff do a good job of keeping it up. The price isn't bad either.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE Juniper. For many reasons. The outside swimming pool is probably the best in the state. It is beautiful. The classes that are offered, incl;uding the Master's swimming program, are great. The staff exceptional. This is a community center meant for anyone. I feel lucky to have access to such a great resource.

Fantastic experience: Great venue. Well maintained facility.

Fantastic experience: Incredible gym in Bend. I especially love the yoga studio!

Fantastic experience: Great lap swimming options !

Positive experience: A wonderful place to burn off energy, absolutely. Fair warning to any person with a service animal... the staff are quick to ask all the legal questions..and then some.. you may want to dress them in their vest to save yourself the trouble!

Fantastic experience: Juniper provides an excellent service to the community plus it is affordable. I have been a member for 18 years and that speaks for itself

Negative experience: Ive been a amember for a decade and this place gets worse every year. This is Not a swimming center. The pool is most likely Not open or available for your family. Do not go here without planning your day around when the pool is available then plan for a poop in the pool so bring something else to do while you wait. Oh, and sauna is full. And if you're not happy about it just keep quiet or the staff is there to blame the customer.

Fantastic experience: Especial...

Fantastic experience: I paid an 8 dollar flat fee for access to the facilities. It's very nice. I really liked it and I plan to go back Thursday.

Fantastic experience: Great place to swim or soak. Steam and sauna are also available here. There is a nice gym area to get on a workout, with multiple different amenities for workout options to come check out.

Negative experience: We’ve been members with BPRD for a few months now. Every time I go to the Juniper facilities I regret it. In comparison with Larkspur, this facility is outdated and not well kept. The bathing suit spinner in the women’s locker room has been broken for a while now, the lockers require that you bring your own lock, and the bathrooms/showers are dirty. Every time I go to Larkspur I see an employee doing a locker room check (mopping floors, wiping counters, etc). I don’t see this at Juniper and the conditions show. In addition, the locker rooms do not directly connect to the pool area like they do at Larkspur. I’ve never attempted to use the gym here because it is a very small/crammed space and always looks busy.

Fantastic experience: great gym, pool, hot tub, sauna, and steam room

Fantastic experience: Great gym, updated facilities, love the sauna and hot tub

Fantastic experience: Great way to spend an hour or a day! The facility is nice and well-maintained, the pools feel clean, and the steam room and sauna are HOT.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility, very clean, reasonable day pass pricing. Worked great for an after river float to get clean and showered since we are camping nearby.

Fantastic experience: Always a great place to swim with the kiddos

Fantastic experience: The outdoor pool area is surrounded by green grass on a sloped hill that allows for outdoor sunbathing with a great view of the water. Snacks are sold nearby. Many chairs are available to lay on. If you tire of the sun, you can go inside and swim. There's a popular rope swing. The indoor hot tub is large, supporting many individuals. Our kids have been coming here since they were little. Now they are older but still enjoy coming here. This is an activity our family plans on doing when we travel to Bend visiting relatives. Juniper may be the best community recreation center for summertime enjoyment.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place to have fun with the family

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility

Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of lap swimming in various facilities but this place tops them all! Even in late fall and winter the outdoor Olympic pool is fully covered and heated...Amazing! Great parking, easy check in, friendly staff. Multiple attentive life guards at all times. Wonderful, clean pools, both indoor and outdoor. What more could you ask for? Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Best pools and moar in the Eastern Cascades

Fantastic experience: Juniper Swim & Fitness has always been a welcoming experience for our family. The facility offers individual and group exercise options, as well as recreational activities such as swimming. The staff members are polite and efficient.

Fantastic experience: Clean showers, beautiful facility highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Es muy bonito

Positive experience: This is such a great facility. It's great to have both an indoor and outdoor pool available. The saunas and hot tub are so nice to have access to. I only wish there were some more space allocated for workout equipment and cardio machines - as the gym does get pretty crowded at times. Otherwise, our family really enjoys going to Juniper

Fantastic experience: Jubiper!!! Yay!!!! I love it here!!! Go here every week!!’ They even have juniper tree and park and pool and gym and all the things for a comprehensive workout !!!!! I go here even more than Fred Meyer (big feat for a business). I recommend.

Fantastic experience: Rude staff? I struggle to believe that. Every experience my family has ever had here has been a good one. Expensive? Come on, seriously. Too many keyboard warriors with grudges here. Juniper is a fantastic place, the facilities are excellent and the staff always helpful and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Good value, and for my first membership at a swim center, I'm pleased. I've swam my whole life, but do not have good technique. I appreciate the lanes for those of us who are 'slow', or are just getting better with our endurance. There are plenty of lockers and the pools are lovely. I think the prices are very good, especially if swimming is your focus. The only down side for me was walking into the building the first time. I was very intimidated by all the experienced swimmers, but I soon realized no one cared how good or bad I was, and I did my own thing.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Juniper on and off for a large part of my life and have never had a bad experience. They have three swimming pools - an indoor children's pool, a normal indoor pool, and an outdoor pool. The outdoor one is covered in the winter and open in the summer, so it's usable all year round. I use the weight room quite often. There are plenty of machines for working various parts of the body, as well as a healthy amount of free weights. They have plenty of cardio machines and I've only ever had to wait for one at peak hours (and then the wait was only a few minutes). My only real complaints are the low number of barbell stations (only one traditional station and a smith machine) and that they don't have the specially shaped weights for dead lifts and power cleans. However, they do have a rack of smaller fixed-weight barbells, so it isn't too much of an issue. While they don't have the number or variety of weight machines as somewhere like Gold's Gym, I've never felt like I couldn't work a muscle group because they didn't have what I needed. They have a large variety of exercise classes as well, but I can't comment on them because I haven't used them. The pools, steam room, and sauna are also a big plus.

Fantastic experience: Expensive? Rude staff? Too many children in the weight room? Not at all in my experience, I am a senior and it runs me about $1/day, everyone is friendly (might say something about the reviewer), I have no issues with access to weights, etc, but I go in about 7:45AM. A well run, clean, and affordable facility.

Fantastic experience: I used to be a member at the Athletic Club of Bend, but when I starting spending Winters in CA I switched because the Athletic Club was charging me partial dues(1/2) for the months I was in CA. I have no regrets about the move. Yes, it is further from where I live (Westside) in Bend...but otherwise the facility is comparable to me. I love it! When I am in Bend, I go 3 to 4 times a week. Love the diversity of classes and find the instructors, staff and members very nice and friendly. I consider the facility a great asset to Bend. Marilyn McIver

Positive experience: The reason I have indicated a 4 is that the good water instructors are “watered” down so no routine can be established for the participants. Everyone must adapt to new instructors every day and every week—no continuity—— your best instructors only teach one day a week at the same time. I don’t know if there is some bureaucratic rule but it is not a quality method

Fantastic experience: Best public fitness facility

Fantastic experience: Great place. However, the workout room and the studio rooms need disinfectant spray with rags to wipe off equipment. The disposable wipes aren’t cutting it. And could the boomers please keep their boomer conversations out of the sauna room. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Really Nice Facility! Lap pools, hot tub, sauna, steam room, exercise classes, yoga, bike classes, and workout equipment. The locker rooms are clean and showers are great.

Negative experience: i have a membership at this gym and i was in the bathroom and a staff came in and rudely asked what i was doing and when i came out of the stall told me to leave the building. without even explaining what i did wrong told me to walk “out the door”. i am still confused as to why i was asked to leave. i tried talking to a staff about it and i received no reasonable explanation. they told me it was because i had to have a membership and i do have one and after i told them that i got no other reason as to why i had to leave.

Fantastic experience: Always a fun place to swim

Fantastic experience: Amazing! Best community pool I've ever been to.

Fantastic experience: As a BPRD emplh, I am at Juniper and Larkspur Commercial Centers five times a week. I teach water classes. Whenever I can, I go on Sundays for some me time in the pool. This is a wonderful treat for body and soul.

Fantastic experience: Super fun community center. Clean facility, great staff, lifeguards are on top of it. Kid loves the waterslide too.

Fantastic experience: My daughter absolutely loves this pool it is her favorite! In fact we drive all the way from Prineville once a week to go swim here. The splash pad/pool for kids is amazing, so many activities! They even have a small slide for toddlers since they can't go up the big one yet. They can go down the big slide with an adult though! I'm throughly impressed! The price is very accommodating too! The ladies at the front could be a little nicer at times, but all around so much fun!

Fantastic experience: Fun place to take the kiddos on a hot day ice cream is price well, staff is always helpful we have a year Family pass, and have been coming here for a while no issues

Positive experience: A lot available.kinda older.

Negative experience: Sitting at the worst swim meet I've seen a club host. It's all day long. Warm-ups are three hours before they even swim.

Positive experience: Good place to go, however they make you pay if you aren't swimming. Kind of a bummer. Brought my kid here to swim and I'm unable to due to a medical issue and was still charged the six dollars to not swim. The lady at the desk didnt seem to friendly and seemed to not care to explain why I still had to pay. They could have a wristband system set up or something to monitor who pays and who doesn't pay to use the facility.

Fantastic experience: The staff are always helpful and happy.

Fantastic experience: $8 for a hot shower. Mostly public showers but they have at least one private "family shower". I recommend going at off times. Google shows you how busy they usually are.

Fantastic experience: We had such a fun time here. There were these awful teenage girls in a group of 3 bullying and cussing and just talking bad about everyone they possibly could. I went and said something to them when they wouldn't stop picking on a boy there. Then they started in on me and my family even worse. I said something to the staff and they immediately handled the situation. There's a zero tolerance bullying policy there and they made the girls leave for the day after a stern talking to. It was really hard having a good time listening to those girls but we had a blast when they were gone. Such a good atmosphere for children. Thank you tall lady with the long pretty hair for taking the situation seriously.

Fantastic experience: Indoor and (seasonal) outdoor aquatic facilities, splash pad and water slide, exercise rooms, and more from Bend Parks and Recreation District. Great customer service!

Fantastic experience: Love it! Kind people. Good classes. Clean facility.

Fantastic experience: My 2 year old had an awesome time it was his and I first time there , they even have extra life jackets if you need one which was very cool .

Fantastic experience: Juniper Swim and Fitness put into place excellent COVID prevention procedures during this pandemic. An outstanding staff and attention to cleanings between activities and patrons. Thanks so much.for all you do.

Fantastic experience: Crazy huge pool with tons of stuff for kids to go bonkers. Weight room is small but u can get a good workout. Very clean. Daily drop in fee was only $8.

Fantastic experience: My grandmother would used to take my brothers and I here all the time whenever we'd visit her in OR. I remember having a blast with the rope swing, great place to visit, I only wish I could turn back time and experience it all again, miss you grandma <3

Fantastic experience: Great pool and facility!

Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly. Fair price for a traveler needing a shower.

Positive experience: Inside pool is closed, along with the hot tub, and steam room. On this particular day the water was cold in the pools and it was 80 outside. I asked about 10 people before I decided I am not getting in to be freezing. 2 feet deep infant and children's pool is open that the slide goes into Thier is a 4 foot pool you can walk around in that is the middle pool Also lap swim is open but not sure you can swim there unless signed up. Most people are keeping all thier things outside all over and very little shade to sit in Also the front entrance is no longer the front entrance we parked there and walked around the building to get to the actual entrance. If you have any sort of walking issues find the entrance before parking as its about a 5 minute walk around the backside I payed the entry but decided not to use the facility whatsoever and going to try the redmond pool. Not bashing the place but I wanted a pool not cold creek water to swim in and don't be surprised if the water isn't what you except for normal pool Temps When I asked the cashier/entry person I asked some of these questions and she made it clear to me she was lucky to come to work but I was only trying to understand the facilty before entry and was a bit confused already as the place is very different right now since the last time I was here Been here 30 mins and ready to round up the kids and head out as I wanted to swim with them and its really not possible for me as its a bit to cold for me to be in.

Positive experience: I am almost 70 and I took my great granddaughter swimming and I didn't swim nor did I layout in the sun. I was there to watch her while she swam and ensure her safety. I had to pay just to get in. I paid the same as someone who used the facilities. I would say that is unfair. BPRD is using any means to get more money out of our community. That's like I pay for storm drains but I have no sewer or drains. Doesn't make sense to me.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and a wonderful facility!

Fantastic experience: Very nice complex. I have only used the outdoor swimming pool but there is a lot more to do for a fair price. The outdoor pool has plenty of space for lap swimming and lanes are divided by swimmer speed (although some people's self perception of speed could be better). The locker rooms are clean and plenty of lockers available but being your own lock. I highly recommend this place if you want to get some physical activity.

Fantastic experience: Me encanta nadar ahí, el agua está a una temperatura ideal

Negative experience: Are they open? I've been calling and no one is answering

Fantastic experience: Great facility, great staff!

Fantastic experience: Realmente lo disfruto, el agua está a una temperatura ideal para nadar

Fantastic experience: Went to yoga this morning. Great way to start a Saturday! Very clean and great social distancing practices☺

Fantastic experience: We love juniper! The splash pad (and reservation system) was great throughout the summer. Thanks for being creative with the new restrictions. We are looking forward to taking advantage of all you offer in the future!

Fantastic experience: Take the 2yo there for swim lessons. Pool's warm which is nice and everyone's friendly.

Negative experience: Horrible experience. We scheduled a 7 year olds birthday party and if we had not called the day before for pool rules we would have showed up with about 15 kids just to be told by juniper they cancelled his birthday because they had swim lessons scheduled for that day. We asked when the lessons had been scheduled " fyi that the child just paid and whent threw so he could use the high dive" I was told they scheduled them this month we informed them that we had scheduled in june and they informed us there is nothing they can do. After taking a check for 178$ Thanks to there scheduling error a 7 year old will not get a party during the worst year for everyone all kids and some parents would of loved this party but do to there lack of care for there company and there customers I will never be going to juniper or my 3 kids. Remember guys there is alot less pee in the river and if this is how they handle there business I would be horrified to see how they handle cleaning.

Positive experience: I love the atmosphere at JSFC. It never feels like a normal health club--somehow more friendly and more comfortable. It lacks a bit in space for weights, but has a good amount of cardio and great classes. I primarily go for the outdoor pool and master's swim, both of which I recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great teaching environment.

Positive experience: For the city of Bend they have hardly any yoga classes for prenatal. Once a week at 5:30pm is just not enough for yoga and pregnancies. Suggested to add one more and was dismissed giving other classes like water as a better option. But some women I know can't handle the intense chlorine chemicals. Sometimes the smell is too intense for me. Juniper is sometimes a great place, but would love the consideration of switching to salt water- So as I appreciate the offer to take their water prenatal, I was really focused on yoga and would appreciate one more class-

Fantastic experience: I've been to Juniper nearly ever day since I moved to Bend. Great staff and awesome pool.

Fantastic experience: One of the nicest swim facilities I've ever had the pleasure of swimming in. They also have a wide variety of high quality yoga classes.

Fantastic experience: The annual family membership is such a good deal. I come 4 times and week with my family. I love going for a swim after working out.

Fantastic experience: Just joined! They gave me a nice tour and showed me the lay of the land. There is a wide variety of classes to choose from as well as a well equipped gym, pool, etc. Looking forward to becoming a regular.

Positive experience: Good place, clean, big!! They also have many programs.

Positive experience: Good pool, the gym/workout area isn’t what I would have liked it to be. Mostly consists of machines that take up a lot of space, and then a small free weights section. Feels over crowded very quickly in peak hours.

Fantastic experience: Just joined! They gave me a nice tour and showed me the lay of the land. There is a wide variety of classes to choose from as well as a well equipped gym, pool, etc. Looking forward to becoming a regular.

Positive experience: I've been swimming here for two months since I moved to town and everyone that works here is super friendly and very professional. For a public pool run by the city, it is remarkably clean and well designed. Here is the problem. The lifeguards keep taking up the lanes too early!!! it's so frustrating. If the indoor pool has lap swim until 7:30am, they are removing the lanes at 7:20am, which means I cannot complete my swim. Same thing happened today. The schedule says indoor lamp swim until 1pm. At 12:50, ten minutes early, the lifeguards took up the lanes...so what is the purpose of having a schedule if everyone is not going to abide by it? the moment the lanes are removed, I start to run into the lane dividers and then other people waiting to start for their class start keep running into me. Let's all abide by the rules, ok? if this keeps happening, i'll just join another pool.

Positive experience: pretty good! Wish they would expand on their water park though.

Negative experience: After suffering a stroke, I called for 7 weeks trying to talk to someone regarding hydro therapy to get well. I had a 60 minute appointment to try out the water and it cost me $75.00. I went home thinking My classes were on tuesdays only to return to the lady now on vacation and not so much as an explanation or a call....nothing. i feel I could have gone to a river or lake with my grown sons and gotten a much better time AND had that $75.00 still in my bank account! I feel my money was stolen from me. I will never waste my time there again. Overall, the whole experience was pretty poor, from the first voicemail I left, up to walking out the front door, after getting zero answers as to when was it mentioned that I was paying a lady $75.00 to dip out and go on a vacation just days after telling me how great all the therapy was going to be...Didn't appreciate that. And $66.00 a week for water therapy I can't really do that while literally disabled...... I just wanted to try hard to get better and not become a leech on society, and I am doing that, without this fitness center and their exhuberant prices. Nature gives you lots of therapy when you treat it with respect.

Positive experience: We were logging in to to swimming and we were told to wait outside! Yet others were able to go in and change. Tell me where this is fair!!? My kids are sensitive to being in the sun. We even asked to wait at a table. Kinda rude if you ask me

Fantastic experience: The annual family membership is such a good deal. I come 4 times and week with my family. I love going for a swim after working out.

Fantastic experience: Best staff, good rates, nice community

Fantastic experience: Lap swim and sauna

Fantastic experience: Great yoga with Barb. Great place!!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The girls had a blast...

Positive experience: Good facilities for a municipal gym/pool(s).

Positive experience: I've never felt so alive!! The refreshing water cured my depression, and I have returned to a state of calmness. My mine and body is refreshed mentaly, physically and soulfully. I want to name my seven children after this devine pool. Juniper Swim & Fitness Center is a true work of the gods, and a blessing to have it here. This pool must be holy water, because after I swam here, I won the lottery and met Beyoncé. My sixth kid wants to be a yoga instructor, like my wishes were, finally after they swam here. My dog got cured of cancer and five other deaseses after he drank this blessed water. I love you juniper. My seven kids are named Juniper Swim and Fittness center. Bless this pool.

Fantastic experience: The necessary emissary to your whole health,swim run bike lift and renew with yoga.

Fantastic experience: Fully equipped and wonderful

Fantastic experience: We love this aquatic center!! Its great for everyone! I love to bring my 2 year old because it has a splash pad and 2 pools just for her! Theres little slides and tons of life vests and floaties available free of charge! The lifegaurds are so good about making sure that the indoor pool for little ones stays that way by keeping bigger kids out.. Its great because she swims free and its very cheap for me so we can go all the time without breaking the bank! They also offer 2 or 3 bigger pools, diving boards, hot tub, sauna, water slides, lessons, locker room, food and beverages sold... And more! I definitely recommend checking it out!

Fantastic experience: Such a great place to take the family. What an awesome place to spend a sunny afternoon!

Fantastic experience: Best place I've ever worked at. The staff is amazing and welcoming, and the supervisors went above and beyond to help wherever they could.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been members of Juniper for three years now and love it. Has gotten busier over the years but we will continue to go because they offer a great variety of classes and services. Would highly recommend for families.

Fantastic experience: I was visiting Bend for the weekend and snow sports were out because of some plantar fasciitis so finding this awesome parks and rec pool was the ticket!! Big Olympic 50m size pool for lap swimming and 2 rec pools for other needs. The locker room was clean and had lots of functional space. $6 if you’re over 59 or over and $8 other adults.

Fantastic experience: I would have given them ten stars. Their swimming pools,sauna,steam room,hot tub,chikdrens swim, exercise,swim and fitness instructors, and clean well kept buildings,inside a,d out make this place a gem!!!! I lost 20 pounds in a month. I swam 4 hours and did yoga. At 69.I felt amazing. Thanks to them,my body feels rejuvenated. Love this place. Wish I lived in the Bend area
