Best Gyms with Indoor Pools near Stafford, Virginia

Best family friendly gym I have ever been a part of. My kids know all the staff. They have taken ballet swim and baseball here since 2022. We have made some good friends and the child memberships are affordable. I wish they were open later on the weekends, but it allows us to spend our evenings together as a family. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, I had a really heart breaking experience today (1/30/25) when trying to resolve an issue regarding swim lessons and payment. From the beginning, I started swim lessons with this facility, but unfortunately, at the time I started lessons, there were staffing issues and I wasn’t able to get the most out of the lesson I paid for, so I decided to pause to allow the facility to retain adequately trained staff in efforts to get what I paid for. This was not an issue for me as I know and have been to many professional establishments and organizations with high turnover rates. Fast forward to today, January 30, 2025, I emailed Aideen Brannan back and forth in efforts to resolve my issue, but we were not able to come to an understanding via email, so I decided to call. Once on the phone, I tried to explain my situation to Aideen Brannan, but she repeated what was stated in the email and continued to cut me off and I was unable to clearly convey what I was trying to get her to see. I was attempting to explain important factors that were missing from the email I forwarded to her, but unfortunately, I wasn’t given an opportunity to speak much due to the fact that she was cutting me off. After some time, she continued to state she could not assist me any further. Being that the case was she could not assist me anymore, I requested to speak with her supervisor as I wanted to be afforded the opportunity to explain my situation to them. Aideen Brannan told me she would not be allowing me to speak with her supervisor and afterwards, I requested to speak with the general manager of the facility to see what protocol was for community members requesting to speak with supervisors of staff to resolve issues, but she continued to cut me off and stated to me that she would not be allowing me to speak with the GM or a supervisor. Afterwards, I demanded to speak with a supervisor as I knew there were protocols to address situations such as this, and recorded the call to present this occurrence to her supervisor, but after she became aware that the call was being recorded, she decided to hang up the phone in my face. I called back in efforts to be connected with anyone at all, but Wendy at the front desk stated neither Aideen Brannan, the GM or a supervisor was available & she could take my name and number to pass a message along. If I were a betting person, I’d almost bet that a message was not passed along to the right person, I probably won’t be getting a call back & more than likely, there will be a response to this review justifying the actions of their facilities employees rather than an attempt to resolve the issue that has not been heard by management from my perspective. Of course I hope I’m wrong, but if I am wrong, I will post another review to show what was done to correct my issue. I know that 1 or 2 people are not a direct reflection of an organization, and I am choosing to ignore the negative reviews regarding the facility only caring about taking the money of individuals. I have been treated with dignity and respect by individuals at this facility in the past and they were more than willing to accommodate me. I know my issue will not be resolved by this review, but I do hope that the supervisors of Aideen Brannan see this review and use this as a teachable moment to show staff how not to treat customers who request to speak with a supervisor.

Great place! I’ve been a member a few years. Now my whole family are members as well. Lots for all ages, fitness center, indoor basketball and volleyball and swimming pool as well. Snack bar too. Nice, helpful staff.

Recently went to the center because some friends of ours were having a kids birthday party. The staff was very friendly and answered all of the questions I asked of them about the place. The kids birthday party was completely done by a group from the staff, from setting up the birthday party room, serving pizza to everybody, to playing various games like dodge ball, and flag football with the kids (and parents). There is plenty of parking since it sits near the Embrey Mill Soccer Fields. There is a 50 meter competition pool, a recreation pool and a heated wellness pool and they all sit next to each other and can be seen from the 800 seat capacity room. There are other things you can do if you choose not to go swimming there is a basketball court, or a fully equipped training room. Plus there is a snack bar if you get hungry. Why 4 stars??? Well we live in Spotsylvania and that is over 28 miles away so this is better suited for those that live in the Stafford area.

I recently visited the Jeff Rouse Swim and Sport Center and was thoroughly impressed. The facilities were exceptionally clean, and I felt a strong sense of safety throughout my visit, and staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch recreational experience!
