Ephrata Rec Center

Very unsanitary place. Today I canceled my 27 year old membership. Floor in man's sauna not cleaned for weeks if not months. Two weeks ago I brought attention to dirty floors and found even worse mess tonight. I canceled my membership because of that. I was member from 1996 until now.

Was not inside. I was there for a drive thru pickup, by the Office of Aging.

Desk staff is a little confusing. The build gives the feel of an old school gym, but the amenities are half decent for most of it. The cardio room is nice but some of the equipment is *very* dated and in need of replacement. The weight room definitely could use an upgrade as well as they have a ton of broken mirrors and it's a bit cramped. Overall as far as community centers go, its not too bad, just have to keep that in mind.

The center it's self was nice that they had childcare during certain hours. But it wasn't child friendly for children 8 to 15. The child center is for up to 7 year olds. Think u gotta be 15 to use the gym. The pool is always used for swim lessons and swim team and the basketball court is always filled with older teens or reserved for pickleball. The family locker rooms had no lockers. So I used the regular lockers and I had 2 small children. The old ladies basically bullied me every time I went there saying my kids need to scream somewhere else (the squealing type of laughter of a 2 year old) and that I was traumatizing my 4 year old son. If ur one of those old ladies reading this, do urself a favor and go to an adult only gym. There r many of them, not many that accommodate children. I had to drive an hour for a kid friendly gym. U old bats should be ashamed of urselves. Good day.
