Fun. Great atmosphere. Easy access.
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE IS GREAT!
Age appropriate activities & variety of choices.
I like the fact that there are no children here. I also like that the gym is smaller and easy to access. The pool is warm and theraputic for those of us that have arthritis. The staff is friendly and are open to helping with special requests and needs. I would, and have, recommend this center highly to people of my age range.
The instructors are wonderful and the friends you make are priceless!

The HLC is a great place to not only exercise but to gain new friends & learn to activities. My favorite is probably the warm water pool that not everyone has, the warm water lets me move in the water like I can't do on land.
The therapeutic pool has become my favorite!

Everything from classes to fitness room to friendly staff
Great class and social options.
I love your Swimming Classes, especially, Deb’s M-W-Sat. Aerobics Swim Class from 8-10 am and Lauri’s Water Yoga/ Arthritis Class on T-Th from 9-9:45 am. I started out with Hopp’s Water Therapy then continued as a member to help my hips and exercise for health.
The Center is the perfect place for anyone to get healthier and feel better. It is one of the reasons I stayed in Council Bluffs. The heated pool is my savior. I also love the workout room. The activities planned for older adults really makes our center one of a kind. I did hate to see the meal program cease there. It wasn’t so much the food; it was the loss of companionship. The lunch area used to be packed at noon and now it’s the odd table eating a meal from HyVee. Poor mistake by bureaucracy without consulting the people it involved.
