Pearce Community Center - Chillicothe, Illinois

We were upset when they raised the price of a family membership as a lot of people in the Chillicothe were. I think when pricing things they should keep in mind that they are a community center and NOT a private club. Then price according to what people in our community can afford.
There are a lot of great amenities that Pearce provides or will provide for an extra fee. Like all of their classes and programs for kids. They seem to be always brainstorming to figure out what the next big thing there should be.
I have noticed progress on updating the facility since the big staff chang over, which is nice.. Also new machines in the cardio and workout areas.
All in all my family enjoys the Pearce Center and all it offers.

Great place for family. They offer swimming, gyms, basketball courts, running track, hot tub, sauna and much more! On top of that they are very affordable... We love it there!

Great place for the whole family. Several nice weight rooms, cardio machine selection is extensive, lineup of fitness classes that are INCLUDED in the monthly membership is amazing. Indoor pool, indoor track, two bball courts, babysitting - And the rates are the best deal around.

Got rid of membership because i can only go evenings and the staff is rude. On top of that they sit around and eat fast food at the front desk. This is a health place where I go to lose weight but watch the front desk eat garbage in front of me while their kids run around and rule the place. If they got new staff this place would be great cause the classes rock like zumba, spinning and hip hop. Until then the people are rude and I don't want a membership for that. I can pay the same and go to Lacons health club where they are nice!!

Pearce is an amazing fitness and community center. They have so many different options available to their members (and non members). We shopped around gyms, and Pearce's value is unheard of--fitness classes are free, there is a wide variety of classes to meet each of our needs, they offer child care while you work out and the opportunities for children are unbelievable. Summer Camp, Day Camp, School's Out to name a few. The staff is positive and motivational. I can't say enough great things about Pearce!

My daughter dropped off my grandchildren in the childcare room. There was a room full of children to one staff member. My daughter went to the front desk to ask if another staff member could help with the kids. The lady behind the desk looked at the monitors to count how many children were in the room. At that time my daughter seen her 3 and 5 year olds walking to the bathroom by themselves. She went back to the childcare area to get the kids. She asked the staff where the kids were and they didnt know. At that same time the kids walked back into the the room. When I asked my granddaughters if they asked the lady to take them to the bathroom. They said that the teachers told them no. They could go by themselves. The lady at the front desk said they are working on the problem.

Letting 3 year olds to go to the bathroom alone is a huge safety issue.

Pearce Community Center is not that great. I recently pre-paid for 6 months and had to leave the Chillicothe area for work. They would not give me any refunds or allow me to transfer my membership to my sister, who will stay in the area. They would not even give me any passes. Just wasted $90.00.
