This is not the best if u go to lift weights at the gym. When I started here 3-4 yrs ago this place was good for the cheap price. Now it’s double the price with no improvements. No added weights or better equipment upgrades. Additionally some employees lecture u when u question something either about the app or pricing. I would recommend going somewhere else.

Great facility, fantastic staff, but an unconscionable waste of public resources devoted to pickleball. The portion of the complex devoted to court-type games comprises 8 basketball/volleyball courts. More specifically, 24 full-size adjustable basketball goals and 8 volleyball nets, each of which can be folded into the ceiling. Each basketball goal assembly retails at $30,000 installed ($720k for all 24) and who knows what the volleyball assemblies cost...safe to say near $1,200,000 all-in-all. You would think this would be a great resource for kids in the area; however, in their infinite wisdom, the BVRC decision makers have devoted most of the area to pickleball. Each pickleball court eliminates the use of 3-basketball goals (or $100,000 in resources). This makes sense at certain times, for instance, on weekdays while school is in session, or early mornings when school is out. But this is not how it happens. At all times, pickleball prevents the use of 12-basketball goals and/or 4 volleyball courts (call it $400,000 in resources), and most of the time prevents the use of 18 basketball goals ($600,000 in resources). Further, no children are utilizing these areas during pickleball play. Pickleball requires little-to-no equipment relative to basketball/volleyball (one net per court...$200-$500). Considering this, perhaps the BVRC should look elsewhere to facilitate pickleball and quit wasting, and denying kids access to, valuable public resources. Also, the money wasted on the so-called "smart drive" construction project at Hilltop could have been better spent on a separate pickleball facility...possibly right there in north portion of the parking lot that is now being used to store construction material. Nonetheless, Hilltop is a good place that could be GREAT if the planning/funding wasn't so badly managed.
