Reviews of Great Neck Recreation Center

D Miles

This Rec Center looks so much like the Princess Anne Rec Center to me. I took 12 photos of the Princess Anne Rec Center but I was in a rush the night I stopped in to use the Rec Center near Great Neck Road on Stonehaven. I’ll definitely take pics next time because it’s very attractive, large and clean. Very welcoming as I checked in at the front desk. I’d recommend this location and plan to return.

Solitaire on treadmills that have lots of room and storage for the iPhone,, water bottle, car keys, towel, wallet, etc... Great welcoming attitude by staff. Feels comfortable when you working out. Beautiful grounds, clean facilities, that are well maintained. Lots of treadmills which are very popular. Has many treadmills with 1 hour or unlimited time limits, this is very good for those that can't run but want to fast walk for a longer time. Knees just can't handle the high impact and still want to be on my feet. Pool is warm in the winter and cool but not cold in the summer. With the exception of big sporting events there is normally plenty of parking. Cheap price compared to YMCA or what you get with a gym membership. Approximately $100/yr for normal family member, family of 4, ~$392. Reasonably spread out throughout Va Beach. I love them.

Ted Morse

Equipment kept in great shape, staff is friendly and helpful to everybody, regardless of race or physical condition. Bend-over-backwards friendly and helpful. I've worked out here 25-plus years with hundreds of residents of all races, and have never heard a complaint by any other patron, regardless of color, and have never seen any employee show any negative attitude. Rules are enforced. Just because you don't like following them doesn't make the enforcers racist.

Joe Smith

This is one of the best benefits of residing in Virginia Beach. The Great Neck Recreation Center is always immaculately clean and well maintained. The staff does a great job, they are friendly and helpful. The treadmills have all been recently replaced and now have individual televisions. I love the place. At $86.00 per year-including a pool- the Great Neck Recreation Center is a great value.

The gym is nice, has any piece of equipment you would want. It can get busy but its not necessarily a bad thing, it can encourage you to do something different while you wait for the machine you want. Great price, $80 for a year.

I have been a member of GNRC for a number of years, mostly using the weights and machines in the gym. It's close enough that I can incorporate a good walk to and from the Rec Center as part of my workout. My experience there has always been very pleasant: great facility, great value, and friendly staff. Recently, while working out, one of the staff , Ms. DaNee White, the personal training supervisor, voluntarily helped me with one of the machines and offered further assistance with personal training which I gladly agreed to. This included a physical health assessment. Although in the the past, while in Florida, I have used personal training services, it can't compare with the personal and professional care I received from Ms. White. She worked with me to set short and long term goals, is genuinely interested in my health improvement, and has renewed my desire to work out regularly. A big thanks to Ms. White and GNRC!

Staff is very helpful and friendly. It's always clean and the equipment is is in top shape and modern. The weight room has awful etiquette though. The worst I've experienced in VB in the 10 years I've been here. A ton of gapers sitting on equipment between sets. Very lame!

Becky Robinson

I joined around a year ago. They need to address equipment availability. All ellipticals and treadmills are taken the last few times I’ve tried to get in. You can’t tell how soon one might be freed up. Another wasted trip even if I did check the busy status on here.

Winston Hensley

I thoroughly enjoy going to the rec center, especially since they expanded the weight room. The only complaint is that of the other patrons' etiquette in wiping down the machines. Two years ago I got a-hold of "scabies" and am certain it was from the machines. Now I wipe the machine down before and after using them, no problems since.

Mars Reyna

The staff are always pleasant, the facility is consistently clean, and the equipment is up-to-date! My only complaint is that they are by far the strictest in the city when it comes to putting belongings in a locker. I went into the basketball court and planned on shedding my jacket, then sweatpants in the five minutes it would take me to warm up, then put both items in a locker. No sooner had I placed my jacket by the wall alongside a gallery of cell phones, water bottles, and head phones than a staff member told me to put it in a locker. Today, I went to change out of my work out clothes while my friend finished his work out. After I changed, I walked into the gym to give him his shirt and jacket (since our locker was now left unlocked--I wasn't about to spend another quarter to re-lock it for two more minutes) and wait for him to finish his last set before we left. I put my bag on the ground in the corner, very much out of the way, and stood by it to wait. Sure enough, a staff member told me to put my things in a locker. My friend decided to just skip out on his last set and we just left. It's one thing if someone leaves a bag laying there for 20 minutes, but quite another if you're only going to be a couple minutes AND you're standing by your belongings.

I have been pleasantly surprised at the swim classes offered at Great Neck. I enrolled my very water-timid daughter there, and she had thrived--and I have the aquatic staff to thank for that! They have been so patient with her. She improved greatly in the two weeks since she began. I plan on enrolling her again in the future. Thank you, GNRC!

Raymond was excellent and helpful in setting up our rented room. I was misinformed on the details of my son's 2nd birthday party here two months ago, and left a bad review because I was upset at being told we had to pack up and leave the room we rented early...as I had thought at that time. I was wrong and now I know that Raymond was very helpful with making the party happen in the first place. I apologize to Raymond and his family and coworkers for thinking, and sharing, that he was anything but professional and doing his job.

Tony Zontini

Awesome value, basic membership is very reasonable them you have an a la carte opportunity to sign up for other programs. The people are nice and they keep the equipment maintained and the facility clean. Can't beat it!!!

KYLE WATTS COOKING AND GRILLING

To all, This place is good because it has lots to offer from recreational sports to include basketball, indoor soccer, racquet ball, volleyball, water polo, badminton, ping pong, and more. Also, it's located in a nice residential area with a park and lake adjacent to it. The only downsides is that during baseball games across the street parking is hard to find sometimes because baseball patrons like to park in the recreation center parking lot because the base ball field parking fills up fast. The other Debbie downer is there are a lot of high school kids from the local schooled called Cox, literally right next to the rec center, so a lot of the gym patrons are unfortunately immature teens who do immature things like hold up gym equipment, talk waaayyy to loud, and have immature and annoying teenie boppie conversations that can be heard by all... Most teens aren't that bad, just the occasional few... Nothing against teens, we've all been one... The price point is great, being around $12 a month. The only gym that competes with there price is Planet Fitness which is open 24/7 but doesn't have swimming pools, basketball courts, and rec leagues to name a few. Much success and happiness, Kyle

My whole life I have a ways struggled with my weight and going in public places to work out would always be embarrassing or awkward because of the looks and comments I got but when I came to this location an employee by the name of Shayla guided me through different equipment and even went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and in a accepting space I never got to thank her so hopefully she sees this one day, I just want you to know you helped me feel better about my self and I appreciate it so much

Ben

My only complaint is the weight room etiquette from other gym goers. Other than that this place is well worth the price and has enough equipment and facilities to get a good workout in.
