Kempsville Recreation Center

Beautiful facility but all 3 members of the staff in the workout room are EXTREMELY rude. I’ve never been disrespected by a member of any staff anywhere as badly as with the 2 big black women and the tall skinny white male. ALL THREE OF THEM WERE MAKING FUN OF ME THE WHOLE TIME I WAS WORKING OUT. I was using the machines correctly & I didn’t say a word to them to make them want to pick on me. I was minding my business & working out. I went home and CRIED y’all... this is not ok!!! If it happens again there will be some problems I can tell u that!! They also kept asking me if I was lost then they’d all look at me and laugh. ALL THREE OF THEM. Its the day after & I’m still shocked that really happened in a place that’s supposed to be judgment-free. I wish I would have got their names but I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible because I had tears coming down my face. Completely unacceptable! Staff should not be making fun of people in the workout room!

It’s a beautiful facility and the staff seems pretty courteous. I wish they opened at least an hour earlier because I’d like to go before work. Also, it is very crowded after work, hard to get the machines and weights you want, and teenagers often walk in crowds on the track, blocking the path. I bet it’s great during the day.

Great facility with friendly staff. Really appreciate the opportunity to enjoy such a great facility with my family.

Beautiful facility with nice equipment at a very affordable price. I think they need to put speed bumps in front of the facility for safety. Patrons are driving way too fast and I have seen a few near misses just in the last two weeks! Love the facility

This is the busiest of the VaB rec centers, but it is a fantastic facility and they do their best to accommodate the crowds. The leadership and staff have been been great and have found some time in the gym schedule for BADMINTON. 11am to 1pm on Sunday mornings. Thank you!
