I’ve been going here for almost 4 years and the student deal is bang for your buck. For how nice the gym is and the student deal only making it about $35 a month is an absolute steal. With all the gym has to offer like the pool, sauna, basketball court, and gym equipment it’s a no brainer. So i absolutely recommend it, me and all my friends love it here. and i absolutely love hitting the three piece combo with my boys

River Valley is my favorite spot in town! I’ve been going here for 4 years now, and I always feel at home. I went off to college 2 years ago, and one of the biggest things I look forward to when coming back home is going to river valley! I love all the machines and weight room setup here. It’s not ridiculously busy like my college gym always is. My favorite part is hitting what I call “The 3 piece combo” after a workout: Sauna, cold shower, hot tub. This place holds a special place in my heart! Also - the people who work the front desk are always so awesome! This gym has everything you could possibly need: weights, cardio, yoga, other classes, basketball, racquetball, pool, hot tub, sauna, outdoor pool. It’s the most well rounded and complete gym you will find!

I have had excellent experiences at the River Valley Athletic Club. The front desk staff is pretty helpful. The facility is nice and kept well maintained. They offer a variety of different workout classes that are no additional cost with your membership, which is very lovely! There are two pools (an outdoor and an indoor), which are very nice. The locker rooms are also kept very tidy and are not dirty! I would definitely recommend coming here!

I’m visiting from out of down and was looking for a gym to drop in at. Stumbled across this place and was pleasantly surprised. Super affordable day pass ($14) with all the equipment I needed (squat rack / med balls / pull up bars / KBs) + a bunch of lovely amenities like a sauna. Worth the price of admission.

As someone who has been a member of this gym on and off for many years, I’m incredibly disappointed with how far the standards have fallen—especially when it comes to member safety, accountability, cleanliness, and overall management.

I’ve experienced repeated harassment from other members, including being followed, stared at, grabbed at and cornered while working out. I reported these incidents multiple times—both in writing and in person. Not once was I followed up with, asked for details, or given any indication that my concerns were being taken seriously, no action was ever taken, and the behavior continues.

There are signs posted about proper conduct, phone use, age restrictions, and locker room etiquette, but they’ve been up for years with no consistent enforcement. Teen boys regularly take over the weight room, leave clothing on multiple machines to “reserve” them, and have even removed weights from equipment I was actively using. On weekends, unsupervised children run around the gym soaking wet from the pool leaving puddles, play on cardio machines, and dump water into the dry sauna. I’ve also walked into the women’s locker room to find a young boy present without supervision and when I tried to report it, there was no one even at the front desk.

Another issue is women having full FaceTime conversations in the women’s locker room, which creates serious privacy concerns. Again, this has been reported and ignored.

On top of all this, the locker rooms are visibly dirty, often smell of mildew, and there is black mold in multiple areas. Several cardio machines have been broken for months with no visible effort to repair or replace them.

When I raised these concerns in detail, I received two email responses from management that were dismissive and lacked any plan of action. After months of advocating for a safer environment, without results, I’ve made the decision to cancel my membership.

If you’re just looking for a place to bring your children to swim, this may work for your family. If you’re serious about working out and expect a safe, respectful, clean, and professionally managed facility, this is not the place.

The equipment at this gym is not maintained at all. Treadmills especially, I’ve tripped on multiple occasions because the belts are not properly oiled and will shut off mid-run. Tried notifying the staff about this and nothing ever changed. Sure, the amenities are nice to have, but if I can’t use something as basic as a treadmill, I’m not spending $50/month when there’s a planet fitness down the road. If cardio is what you want, save your money and go elsewhere.

Doing a review for my teen as he is the one with the student membership. He enjoys the weight room area a lot as he spends a good amount of time there focusing on strength training and building muscle. He likes that there is a basketball court there too but wishes it was bigger with my baskets that are different heights. Overall, enjoys it and the protein smoothies.

This gym has turned into a teen center for the high school boys during the week. They’re always in groups blocking equipment, using foul language, taking their shirts off to flex for their buddies, and they seemed to not been trained in how to flush the toilet. The owner to date has done zero to remedy the issues meanwhile long time members pay full price and the teens get a discount. Save your hard earned money and choose a different gym.

For the price and space available, it’s a good gym if you are not too picky and just need somewhere to work out. Things that are NOT a priority - cleanliness and staff friendliness.

Members also treat this space as a social club and there are a few older men that continue to scream across the weight room and carry on conversations instead of actually working out. Seems like this gym needs a social room.

Will 100% be moving gyms when my membership expires.

I've been working out at River Valley on and off for about 10 years now. It used to be a mom and pop type of gym, but the renevations that they did definitely makes the place feel up with the times. They have dozens of weight lifting machines and free weights to use along with dozens of various cardio equipment. Other bonuses River Valley has is as follows: Saunas in the locker room, and indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a hot tub (indoors), tanning bed, spa area, racket ball court, basket ball court, crossfit area, and a day care to drop your kids off at while you work out. They also have dozens of classes every month from spin class to yoga. This gym has a little something for everyone!

I’d like to rate higher, but the noise from the spinning classes overpower the workout area upstairs. Sunday mornings are especially unbearable. The music is way too loud, the instructors yell loudly & the door is often left open. I wear earbuds & can still hear the yelling & music! Other members have mentioned this noise in my presence , also.

I like the new cardio machines & other changes, but this frequent noise is causing me (and others apparently) to cancel membership at this club.

River valley has everything you need to get a good workout. The facilities feel a little old, but everything is functional. There is a wide variety of machines, free weights, a pool, racquetball courts, basketball/volleyball gym, and group classes included in the membership.

Edit: New ownership has updated old equipment and made a variety of very welcome aesthetic changes in addition to adding capacity for olympic lifting, more squat racks, and benches.

The club is looking great with new equipment, interior paint/diamond metal around the weight room. Old machines all have new cables with pins attached with equipment. The new TV's in the Cardio is a big plus, also the new stretching area gives you the privacy which is very nice. The members and new upgrades are a big plus, and let us not forget thank the new owners.

I didn't mind the older equipment; in fact I was quite fond of some of it. But the club's solution to the aging equipment situation in Spring 2017 was to get rid of a lot of it and replace it with EMPTY SPACE. And if you want a lesson in bad customer relations, have yourself a little chat with manager Laura, who told me twice in the course of a five minute conversation that I was free to look elsewhere. Lots of disgruntled customers there.

I (and my family) have been members at River Valley for just about 18 yrs now but I am ready to cut all ties with this gym. The equipment is all about the same as when we joined and today doesn't seemed to be well maintained. Today however was the last straw for me, as I was trying to finish my cool down I was approached by the front desk associate who very rudely told me they were closed and I needed to leave, once I had gathered my things and was heading to my car I noticed right behind me that the front desk lady was also leaving even though there was still staff in the gym. Needless to say I will be cancelling my membership at River Valley and begin the process of opening my own gym, which I will then make it my mission to put them out of business while showing them how a real gym is supposed to operate.

RVAC is a decent fitness center. Some of the equipment is poorly maintained while other machines are working just fine. They recently added new treadmills, however at least 1, if not 2 are already under repair. There are some front desk receptionists who are friendly and welcoming and others who give the impression they would rather be anywhere but working the front desk. On the plus side, there is free wi-fi, all types of body shapes and sizes workout here. If you're not "Gold Gym's body builder of the month", you won't feel uncomfortable. The entire facility is aging. I think they're doing the best they can with the resources they have to keep up as much as possible with keeping the place presentable. However, it's 2015 and people have multiple options for where they want to spend their money. If I could wave a magic wand, I'd wish for a complete and full remodel of the gym. Complete with state of the art weight machines, all new cardio, a full locker room makeover and a total re-do of the interior. If you've been to a Lifetime Fitness lately there is simply no comparison to RVAC. However, if you understand that what you have going into a membership here is a simply "Okay" facility, you won't be disappointed.
