Work Out West Health & Recreation Center

Work Out West Health & Recreation Center is a longstanding, family-owned gym in Greeley offering a comprehensive wellness facility. The gym provides a wet area that includes a sauna, a small pool, and a hot tub, which members note is a rare amenity for the area. However, the cleanliness of the hot tub is a recurring concern, with members reporting visible dirt accumulation. The strong smell of chlorine from the pool area is also noted to permeate the gym. Beyond the wet area, the gym features a wide array of equipment, including multiple weight machines, an indoor walking path, and various recovery options such as massage chairs and red light therapy. Members have access to free drop-in classes, different membership levels, and a buddy pass option.

The facility is described as very large, with a mix of newer and older equipment; some members find certain machines, like the Strive equipment and the pec fly, to be in need of replacement or greater quantity. Feedback on cleanliness is mixed, with some members finding the gym very clean and organized, while others report issues with dirt, crumbs, and hair around equipment bases, as well as musty or urine-like odors in the locker rooms. Staff interactions vary, with some members praising friendly and informative service, while others note a lack of interest in answering questions. A significant point of contention involves the membership contracts, which multiple members describe as intense and difficult to cancel, with associated fees that are not always clearly communicated upfront. The gym attracts a diverse crowd and can be busy during peak hours.
