Drayson Center - Loma Linda, California

This place is more of a community/rec center than a typical gym. There are already lots of positive reviews on Google so I'll start off with reasons why you might NOT want to come here:

-Terrible weight room often overcrowded from 5pm to 8pm. Outdated, limited equipment. If you are at least semi-serious about lifting weights, you are better off at any other commercial gym.
-If you are not affiliated with Loma Linda, membership is expensive. If you are using the full extent of all the facilities though, it's still decent value.
-Table tennis and tennis courts are rarely ever available and seem to be monopolized by a few groups of regulars that are always there.
-Limited weekend hours. I get they close for Sabbath but I wish they could open just a bit longer on Friday and also bring back the later hours on Sunday.

To be fair, here are the great things about this place:

-Nice community of members and friendly staff. People are pretty considerate about wiping off equipment
-Wide variety of sports and facilities available
-Great pool especially for lap swimming (gets overcrowded in the summer because of all the kids programs though). Also the spa/jacuzzi tends to get crowded too.
-Great pickle ball community (in fact this seems like the only thing the Drayson Center cares about improving)
-Group fitness classes are included as a part of the membership

Best thing about drayson is that they always have sanitizing wipes which are used to clean the surfaces of gym equipment.

Spent time 7 am to 2 pm on Sunday. Enjoyed the badminton courts, tennis courts, table tennis and swimming to end the day. Best place for singles, couples and family who loves sports and activities

What an awesome gym! Moved into the area and got a membership here. it’s very nice, well-maintained, and has all the exercise machinery and sports you need to stay healthy. I appreciate how it services the Loma Linda community and I often see many community members come here for exercise. I find it nice that it is helping people stay fit and living up to its name in the blue zone

Best gym ever. If you want a relaxing gym with wonderful members of all ages and friendly people this is the gym. The facility is clean staff members are all friendly as well as helpful. Their are so many classes that are included in your basic membership, but you can also take additional classes for a small fee. It's up to you. Table tennis and handball courts also. But my favorite is the pool!!! I have to go now Im getting ready to take a morning swim now!!! I♡my gym.

I went to my brother Kody’s graduation. It’s a really nice school. It was very organized from the parking to entering to watch the graduation. There was plenty of seating and there was plenty of parking. He whole event went very smoothly because everyone was on point. The location is clean and well taken care of.

I really like this gym but we only draw backs are their lack of timely exercise classes, they don't even have a Zumba, I'm also a dancer and I really enjoy using mirrored moons and at the YMCA they have a few mirrored rooms that you can use as long as there's no one in them. They have two married rooms, one has exercise equipment in it which could be in another room but for some reason they threw it in there and I can't use my tablet when there's somebody else in the room out of respect for the people in there. Plus it says you can't record anything. So there's another room that's the main room for their exercise classes but for some reason they have all their equipment out in the open and it's not locked up and they said their equipment walks away so they had to lock that room and not allow anyone in there when there were no exercise classes. There's a significant amount of time when there's no exercise classes so the room is not being used at all, I tried to use the room and they told me I needed to rent the room and when I went to rent the room they said that I can't without insurance it was a ridiculous run around. So I have a gym membership where I can't use the main reason I got the gym membership. I did use their water aerobics which was great and a lot of fun, the staff and the members were so welcoming and made sure I was okay and enjoying myself. Honestly that's the only reason they got a three because I'm not using the gym for anything else.
