Desert Hot Springs Recreation is a great recreational center and a very good program. It is clean and well maintained with a variety of activities. These include basketball, a pool, indoor tennis, and a gym. The gym is intimate with plenty of exercise equipment, including cable machines, stationary bikes, treadmills, and free weights. Membership for residents is reasonably priced. Kids have a blast learning life skills and crafts. The staff are great, friendly, and helpful. It is a good place to go to avoid a crowd and is worth a look in person or online.
The recreation center is a great contemporary addition to the city of Desert Hot Springs. They have basketball, pool, indoor tennis, a gym, and other fun activities. I paid a fifty-one-dollar 1-year membership, available to DHS residents. The gym is intimate yet, boasts a surprising array of equipment for the square feet (not cramped) available. The exercise equipment includes, pulley cable machines (leg press, bench press, shoulder press, everything press)😉, stationary bikes, treadmills, free weights such as dumbbells, kettlebells, and medicine balls. Lockers (BYOL) are available for storing your personal belongings. It's worth joining, especially, if you want a place… read full review

This is a great recreational center. They have basketball, pool, indoor tennis, and a gym, among other activities. I paid for access to the gym only, $51 for a yearly membership. It's an intimate gym that's perfect for me. Plenty of exercise equipment, including cable machines, stationary bikes, treadmills, free weights like dumbbells, kettlebells, and medicine balls. Lockers (need own lock) are available for personal belongings. Worth a look in person or online. Good place to go if you're looking to avoid a crowd.

This facility offers membership for DHS residents for $50/year, which beats the YMCA. Clean and well maintained with a lap pool that's open 3 months out of a year (the reason for 4 stars), a small, year round gym with the variety of exercises machines and dumbells. They have a variety of activities for additional but reasonable price.
