Brunswick Recreation Center: Opinions
Positive experience: I like having the recreation center in our community However, I wish it was in better condition. I also wish it had an attached senior center similar to the Strongsville recreation center. Seniors should have their own place to go.
Positive experience: Nice facility
Fantastic experience: Nice place for an event
Fantastic experience: Went to a Zumba class. Carmen is a great teacher.
Positive experience: The pool has reopened after their annual maintenance!
Positive experience: Good spot for swimming. Needs updated.
Fantastic experience: The quality of the court is really good
Fantastic experience: This is a great well run rec center.
Negative experience: First thing that comes to mind is...outdated!!! Outside of the workout area this place offers nothing. I'll be driving further for much better options!
Fantastic experience: I use Silver sneakers here!
Fantastic experience: Great group for mahjong
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and large parking srea
Positive experience: It’s a nice place, but the gentleman who answers the phone when I call is kinda rude. I honestly just hung up especially with his tone of voice. The facility itself though is very nice.
Fantastic experience: I went for the swimming pool, It was great! Fortunately the Brunswick swim team was just finishing up when I got there. Only me and five other people in a nice pool! The diving board was nice. The hot tub jacuzzi was big enough for about 15 people. The staff was nice and friendly. The place seemed pretty clean.
Positive experience: I’ve been going here for over a year now, and I gotta say, the swim schedule has been driving me crazy. Every evening they let Swim United take over the pool until they close. This is a prime time spot that makes it very difficult for a working adult to get their laps in. I switched to swimming in the morning because of this, waking up extra early to do so. Then one day randomly the whole swim team shows up and I can’t do my workout. No text and it wasn’t in the schedule. The problem with this facility is that the needs of the community have far outgrown what they have. They need more funding, new equipment in the weight room, and a second pool dedicated just to lap swimming.
Fantastic experience: Clean; user friendly, Debbie at the desk very welcoming, helpful and kind Getting g me back on track at the recreation center.
Fantastic experience: I swim here and I love it! Always clean and the lifeguards are exceptional!
Fantastic experience: U cannot beat their senior rate
Fantastic experience: Always a fun time
Negative experience: Hope my fellow Brunswick people see this. Do not get a pass here if you play basketball. Dusty and they never take care of it. Just get a new floor already stop just waxing it for it too work for 2 weeks then go back to slipping you can literally see how dusty it is.
Fantastic experience: Pop
Negative experience: Honestly, is it just too difficult to maintain a constant average room temperature between 68 and 70 degrees in the Aerobics/Dance Studio? Workout temperatures of 76 degrees and higher for Zumba, Kettlebell and other aerobic classes simply is not safe - especially for the older patrons of your group classes. Maintaining an average room temperature has been an ongoing issue for many years now. I work in the construction biz. Seems a simple fix.
Fantastic experience: Had a great time! Pool was very clean, same with locker room. Lifeguard was very nice and professional. The young man at the front desk was very nice, helpful, and informative. Overall a great experience!!
Fantastic experience: Love the splash class ! Instructor is awsome
Positive experience: Would be great of they actually had any water outdoors, especially since the pool is utilized most of the time. If you are lucky 1 or 2 lanes might be open.
Positive experience: We went for an indoor summer concert and it was nice. They also have an indoor pool and a workout room and several meeting rooms.
Fantastic experience: Nice place to have functions
Negative experience: Worst gym I’ve ever been to. Old and outdated equipment, horrible layout, and was supposed to sign up for a time slot to use cardio machines. Ridiculous
Negative experience: Staff is nice but the infrastructure is old and outdated. The kids pool is broken for yrs. The outdoor snack stand never open, mold on shower heads, no changing table. Terrible for kids. Gym equipment old and out of date. Everything is stuck on 1990's and hasn't been updated since. No splash pad, pool deck dirty. Towel warmer broke. Everything is broken. Focused on old clientele that don't care about quality. Every other city rec center is nicer. Always have a scam 50% off sale for the last 20yrs. If they had the revenue to fix the place maybe more people and families would come and enjoy the place. It's honestly an embarrassment. Hopefully they modernize or get funding from the city to DO BETTER. Have management go to the Medina or Strongsville Rec with a full kids water ship, water lily pads, multiple pools, steam room, sauna, new equipment. Clean. Again do better for Brunswick's families.
Positive experience: Good place to excercise , the staff are friendly , atmosphere is good , and all the nautilus machines are always clean and working
Fantastic experience: Awesome place. They offer a large variety of programs etc.
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a place to host an indoor playground birthday party look no further! The room, playground equipment and staff at Brunswick Rec were everything we could have asked for. All our guests had an amazing time and thought it was such a clever idea for a kids birthday party, especially during the winter months. 10/10!
Positive experience: Don't really care for their re center
Positive experience: I have always enjoyed Brunswick Recreation Center. It needs a little more repairs like the faucets in the bathroom. More cleaning in the bathroom and swimming pool. Staff is great!
Positive experience: Everything you need in a rec center, just a little old and run down
Negative experience: Wouldn't recommend
Fantastic experience: Love the Splash Class!
Fantastic experience: Clean workout room and great equipment. Staff is friendly
Fantastic experience: Joining the Rec Center was one of the best things I decided to do since I retired! I feel so much healthier and saner and have made a lot of friends. It's my way to treat myself to some much needed self care.
Negative experience: I had a horrible experience in regards to my child and the rude woman. Natalie working behind the desk. When I reached out to management via email I was ignored and no one ever responded. My advice to her would be if you don't like children then don't work with them.
Negative experience: The worst place ever. Pool is not available all the time: it’s closed, or have swim teams on all lanes. How is it possible for regular people to go there after work if you have swim teams in every lane? And it’s not swimming lessons from rec center, they let third party to do their lessons there. It’s like the pool exists for retired people who can go there during the day or kids with their swimming lessons from 5 pm to closing time.
Fantastic experience: Great personal training staff! Totally Toned Personal Trainers are knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommended

Positive experience: Brunswick Recreation is great. Every month they have super cool stuff going on for the kids. There Santa Claus was relly neat this year. If I didn't know that he wasnt real I would believe he was the real deal from the Noth Pole.. Your great Brunswick Rec. Thanks for being so fun filled
Fantastic experience: Another great workout today.
Positive experience: Nice Christmas event!
Fantastic experience: My strength gains go up 1 million percent using these beaten down weights. And there isnt any bros there except me so I got no competition.
Fantastic experience: Has just what I need
Positive experience: It's average with the functionality of what you need but nothing really stands out. The pool and hot tub appear clean but the hot tub is dated. Locker rooms likely haven't been updated in the past 15 years but as i said earlier get the job done. Basketball court is nice and usually kept in great shape. Weightroom has the same equipment other than some of the machines. They have done a nice job with providing for better flooring for the fitness center.
Fantastic experience: Food is okay, but we just got a 1 here for states do that kinda makes up for it
Fantastic experience: Super friendly nice pool area will visit again
Fantastic experience: Great place to get big brain and body
Positive experience: It's nice when I went to inquire about extracurricular league's for my daughter they couldn't tell me anything.
Positive experience: Unfortunately the pool finally reopened after being closed for cleaning for over a week and the water was quite cold as I went today. 77 degrees. They are heating it so should be good tomorrow. Thought I would go into the hot tub but the chlorine was so potent it was burning my eyes and I had to get out. Too bad when I called this morning nothing was mentioned on the automated schedule about the fact the pool needed another day to reheat. Hopefully all is good tomorrow
Fantastic experience: It's a work out, not much to say.
Fantastic experience: It has lots to do and it's a fun place to hang out with friends.
Negative experience: I wanted a chocolate ice cream and was given a orange creamsicle. It is nasty af and wish i could give this 0 stars

Fantastic experience: Visited with the saint Ambrose preschool party. All the kids had a wonderful time thanks to Saint Ambrose.
Negative experience: Absolutely terrible wont let me in to work out with my older brothers who can watch me so I basically wasted my time on driving here
Positive experience: This place has everything I need
Fantastic experience: Decent place with not too crowded in the early hours. Good equipment and friendly staff
Positive experience: Nice but basketball courts could use a renovation. Havent gone in the pool area. Decent space and like the track above the basketball courts.
Negative experience: Track is not level and causes shin splints, was unable to sign up for the same membership I had 3 months ago.
Fantastic experience: Greatly enjoyed being there with my dad for the veterans function
Fantastic experience: Courtesy, kindness. and excellent cooperation from the front desk and staff!
Fantastic experience:
Positive experience: Great meeting facility
Fantastic experience: Took client to swim
Negative experience: Horrible experience at the pool. The lifeguards were super strict. My child was not allowed to jump off diving board, was told that he was “ flipping” when he clearly was not. My children could not play a simple game without getting yelled at. The only thing the life guards allowed my children to do was pretty much just stand there. Had to leave, I recommend if you have children to not being them here. They will not have a fun time being a kid. Just awful
Positive experience: I wish pf had sauna
