The Keller Pointe

I guess an update is in order, since I did join, though I was only a member for a year, last year. A couple years ago I was in need of more activity, and Thuy more or less insisted we join The Keller Pointe. We took advantage of a yearly promotion when some extra things (classes) are thrown in.
I primarily went to use the indoor track. At certain times the track is quite pleasant. At other times, i.e. when groups of loud rowdy youths are using the basket/​volleyball area, it’s quite unpleasant (at least to me, as loud shrill voices are my stressors). If the stressors are not present, it’s a great track, it’s just I’ve found I like the outdoors (no matter the temperature) better. Note: The indoor track is right above the aforementioned ball courts, though not 100% above, there is some reprieve as you pass over the exercise equipment. Oh, and no idea how the re-​model is going to affect this.
The weight area is OK. Lots of cardio equipment, weight machines and free-​weights. Most of the equipment was well maintained, though occasionally something was out of order, and it seemed to longer than necessary to be repaired.
Lots of TVs that you can listen too with your own headsets. There is a headphone jack on the treadmills with a channel selector.
I never used the pool.
Also, improvements are coming, based on the construction I see along Rufe Snow.
I have not checked prices recently, but I hope they have added a plan for CWNKs (Couples with no kids). When we joined the best deal was a family membership, which included as many kids as you claim as dependents. That did not favor our needs.
Bottom line: I think my math theory (see previews review) panned out, as I personally did not get my moneys worth. I don’t think Thuy ever went.

My two kiddos have really enjoyed summer camp at The Keller Pointe. There is a different theme with field trips each week and they get to spend lots of time enjoying the pool. I receive updates about the kids, their behavior, funny things that happened each day — the counselors, or ‘teachers’ as my daughter calls them, show great personal attention to each of them. We’ve held a backlight dodgeball birthday party here as well — so fun. I enjoy running on the upstairs track, too.

Keller needs another recreation center. This place is always packed, especially the basketball/​volleyball courts. The crowding sucks!

great place for the kids to get swim lessons. The teachers are pretty kind and patient but help the kids feel comfortable enough in the water to push boundaries. The facilities are clean and conductive for class and play time. Prices for two weeks for both my 8 year old and my two year old were reasonable. I really liked the indoor pool area to get out of both the sun and the rain.

Good News: Great facility
Bad News: The pool lifeguards can be a little tedious with the kids… walk the wrong way and they are blasting their whistles. You rarely see kids older than 12 at the pool as a result.
The administration processes are old-​school. I’d rather put a stick in my eye than waste time filling out useless forms. The City of Keller could use some help here if they still rely on paper for a process like this that adds no value.
When you renew your annual membership you will have to complete all of the forms you completed when you enrolled the first time, family names, birthdays, address, etc… In our family, names and birthdays don’t change but maybe we are the exception. Certainly they have a database of some sort, print out my membership and I will edit any changes and sign any waivers.
If you want to sign your kid up for a summer program you will have to do that in person, fill out more papers. More than half of the programs we sign up for are ultimately cancelled because the minimums are not met. Maybe if it was easier?

It is a nice and clean family friendly pool. It is decently priced and very relaxing when it isn’t totally crowded. The life guards are good at keeping the kids in line, and so far I haven’t seen anyone dressed inappropriately for a pool (like cut offs and wearing a bra as swim wear). When bored with nothing to do, this is a good place for kids to burn off energy.

My daughter has been to two of her friends birthday parties and has had a blast going to both. The facility seems pretty nice & luckily they do have family bathrooms with showers in them so if you don’t want your kiddo to change or reince out their hair in the locker room there is that option. Their non-​resident member rate was more expensive in one lump sum than what we pay in a year in a month to month plan at our rec-​center so personally we’d just do day passes for the amount that we would go visit here, but if your a resident & near by I’m sure the price is about par to what we pay. I didn’t ask if they do a month to month plan like NRH does …
The prices for the parties seem really reasonable, all based off of 10 kids starting at 165 … which the basic includes a drink, a party favor & the cake … and goes up from there if you want to have them take care of a snack or pizza/​hot dog etc. For extra kids at least with the basic its $ 7 per extra kid for members, $ 12 per extra kid for non-​members.
So if your expecting about 10 kids its a pretty awesome deal, if your like us & had 18 kids show up to your kids last birthday party it can add up.

Keller Pointe is excellent as a health club AND as summer water experience. In the summer the have an outdoor water area that is part pool, part lazy river, and large slide and snack bar.
The inside pool area is similar additionally with lap swimming lanes. You do not need to be a member to go as they have a daily rate you can pay and enjoy the fun. the inside water area — with slide is open year round.
In addition, there is a indoor basketball court, weight room, exercise room with ellipticals, and a second story track that you can walk or run. There is also a classroom where they have various exercise classes.
There are also conference rooms for parties, meetings etc.

We live within walking distance to Keller Pointe and love this gym. They have really good updated equipment, friendly staff and a variety of programs. The only thing I really wish this gym had was a dry and wet sauna in the locker rooms.

I have been coming to Keller Pointe since Oct, 2009. It has everything I need in a gym (minus racquetball courts, I suppose). But for swimmers, it may be limited on lanes. The Pointe offers classes, plenty of equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, nautilus, free weights) and has two basketball courts and a track.
I know some people avoid free weights in the gym due to «big guys» being a little intimidating. Not the case here (and I’m not a big guy – everyone is either friendly or keeps to themselves). The equipment is kept in good shape – a lot of it is only a year old.
My wife has gone to classes even longer than I’ve been coming. She enjoys Zumba, Yoga, Strength Building, and others.
The Pointe has indoor and outdoor pools for the kids and a «hot tub» of sorts.
Our kids took swimming lessons here, and one even had a birthday party. There’s also week-​long camps for the kids when school is out. Family dressing rooms are available in addition to standard locker rooms.
Friendly staff and a large parking lot.

they have changed their definition of a family. Non-​married Couples can join as a family!
Great place to workout. They also just upgraded majority of their fitness equipment and re did the floor in the indoor pool.

I agree with eric about the couples rate not being available. If that was the case if be more interested in being a member here than at a different gym.
Anyways we decided to take Peach to the annual doggie dunk at their outdoor pool today and it was total blast! ($ 5 for pre registered or $ 10 at the door. I wish they had had more vendors but they had a great turn out anyways, and everyone was super friendly. We really had a blast.
Peach was completely wiped out when we decided to go home.
Well done keller pointe. I heard about a mommy and me swim class you offer… might just have to try it out a little after I have the munchkin next year

Great place to take the kids for a few hours to wear them out. Great deal as well. Seems somewhat crowded and there is a lack of pool space over 3 feet deep.

This place is a joke. First of all, one would think that with the limited number of people to pull from, this gym would be like the other gyms in town that give you a free couple of days to come check things out w/​o having to pay or obligate yourself. But noooo! They told me I’d have to pay $ 15 if I wanted to WATCH (not participate in it) one of the cardio classes. I’ve never heard of anything like it. So, b/​c I had to pay I thought I might as well take the class. It wasn’t worth the $ 15 dollars as the so called advanced step class I took earlier this year was horrible. The instructor, Judy, was doing moves I’d learned 10 years ago in intermediate step class in Amarillo.
The childcare stinks if your child is over 4 yrs. old. All the kids are in a small room together w/​nothing for kids 5 – 9 yrs. old to do. Nor does it smell very sanitary.
The cost is rediculous considering what other gyms close by charge. The pool is just ok. The best pool is at the Natatorium just down the street, and it’s cheaper for swimming lessons for kids than Keller Pointe.
They seem to take a while getting broken machines (treadmills, steppers, etc.) repaired once they go down. Even though this gym is relatively new (less than 5 years old I’d say) some of the machines feel old and warn due to lack of maintenance.
I really tried to give this place a chance. However, it just didn’t live up to my expectations of what a decent gym is. I’m no gym snob, but I’ve been to many gyms over the years due to my husbands job transferring him every few years or so. So, I’ve had a chance to experience what a good gym is. This ISN’T one of them.
I was just really disappointed after hearing it was supposed to be a good place to workout and for family activities.
Needless to say as soon as my membership was up I left.

Quality quiet place for a good workout. Good pool areas for kids. A Keller gem.

Great family activity hub for swimming, exercise and other activities. Lots of space to move even when crowded

New, clean gym, that offers all the basics. Indoor lap pool is located next to an indoor aqua playscape, so it distract from a long lap swim. But if you’re in the area, this works.
Also check out the indoor natatorium down the street.
Outdoor swimming is of a more recreational nature.
