Very convenient. The staff keeps the facility clean. The equipment is a bit tired but they have the basics. I have never had to wait to use a machine or weights. Still it's no Houstonian.

Best pool in Houston. Excellent water quality due to sand filtration system and expert pool managers on staff. Water temps are pretty consistent year round, between 79F - 83F, winter or summer. Showers and locker rooms are spacious and clean. Swimsuit wringer and hair dryers available. Lots of other exercise options available; from machines and weights to outdoor courts.

No complaints. Love the fact that it is about 5 minutes away from my home. I usually go when it is not crowded, and I mainly only use treadmill and bikes… may make use of the pool once I lose weight, lol. My only dissatisfaction is having to reuse cloth towels to wipe down machines….not sure if this has changed since the pandemic…I prefer single-use paper towels. I will find out soon, as I have recently renewed membership since pandemic.
