Scheitler Recreation Center

I have been swimming at this recreation center for a long time. The hours work for me. I am happy that they now have extended hours for lap swim. The work out area is small and gets stuffy; wishing the windows opened. Over all this is a great place to do your workout. Glad I can take advantage of the gem in my back yard.

Just speaking to the gym/​weight area: nothing overwhelming, but nice, never too busy and great for the price.
The rec center also offers swimming, basketball, a studio room with classes, and programs for various ages (e.g. basketball, swim, etc.).
Place seems to be a solid community place.

Hardly ever a wait for machines and the pool is awesome! At times on weeknights I have the pool all to myself. Never going to 24 again! Not trendy, decent equipment, locker rooms, lounge area and at the park so if it is nice out you can head outside. Also a plus: tvs to watch during your treadmill session. A 3 month membership is only 52 dollars and parking isn’t a problem!

I recently decided to add swimming back to my exercise repertoire, but wanted to do it outside. I was happy to discover the Denver Public Pools had a number of outdoor pools with dedicated lap swim times for a drop-​in price of $ 3.50. My initial outing was at Congress Park Pool on a Sunday, which was unbelievably crowded and will certainly deter me from future visits (at least on a Sunday). I then tried the Berkeley (Scheitler) Pool on a Monday and was pleasantly surprised to have a swim lane all to myself for the 12−1pm lap swim time slot. In total, I think I saw about 8 people come and go during the entire hour. Will definitely be back!

I used to work out at a 24 Hour Fitness in the Berkeley Neighborhood, but it was much too full. I do not like to wait around for a piece of work out equipment or have to put my yoga mat in the hall to do yoga. The full 24 hour made me look into other possibilities. I checked out gyms downtown and around my area. I looked at the Denver Rec Centers. What a hidden little gem i found in the Scheitler Rec Center at Berkeley Lake. It offers all the same workout equipment that the big gym offers and no large trendy crowds to wait to use the equipment. I have gone in the morning, afternoon and evenings on week days and weekends. The place is never full, there is always a treadmill available. The one thing it lacks is a stair mill. But for the annual fee of $ 190 you cannot beat these gym. There are also yoga, Pilates, Zumba, and core classes you can go to. They even have a full gym to shoot hoops in.
