First time back since my membership ended in 2001. I was pleased with the updates in the locker room and fitness area. The weekend pool parties are the best! The facility is very clean. It was good to see members from way back then. Its going to be a HOT summer.

I’ve been taking Pilates classes with Beth and love it! I started with 1:1 sessions and just started group classes and I’ve never enjoyed a workout as much as I love my Pilates sessions. Beth has tons of knowledge and has made me feel supported, inspired and challenged. I would highly recommend taking her classes.

Breath of fresh air. Had been going to a Pilates shop but frustrated with variability in instructor skills and scheduling. Was so glad to have found Beth! LOVE her class. Great work out. Pushes and provides guidance; she’s attentive and solidly skilled. Can see and feel the difference in quality.

I registered my kids for one week of Summer Camp. A month before camp started I informed them that the children wouldn’t be able to attend, and requested a refund for the deposit I placed to hold their spot. Even though they won’t be attending, and there is a wait-list for that very week so another family is going to take and pay for their spot, they refused to give me a refund and sent a very curt, unprofessional response. Keeping a deposit to hold a spot, when that spot is going to be used and paid for by someone else? Then, weeks after canceling said registration my account was STILL charged the balance?! Very shady business practices and clearly more focused on money than clients

I love this place. The tennis programs here are some of the best in the area. 13 courts. Good instructors + classes + leagues. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to play tennis casually or seriously.Not so hot :1. Court time is a touch on the pricey side even for members.2. They could do a better job giving tennis members more “perks” than what they offer.3. Jim (membership guy) is rude, aloof, forgetful, and not personable. He will only follow through if you’re going to buy a membership. He has weird hours even though he works normal house. Sometimes he won’t even show when you schedule a time to meet there. Avoid him.4. Lisa is the best there. If you need anything, she gets it done and is VERY good at remembering names and soooo kind.All that said, I still recommend this place to anyone who plays tennis or wants to be a part of a great community.

I have been a member of this athletic club for a few months now and I am blown away by the facilities and the level of service provided. The gym is well equipped with a wide range of machines and equipment, which are regularly maintained and cleaned. The trainers are knowledgeable and experienced, and they go above and beyond to create personalized workout plans that help you achieve your fitness goals. The pool and sauna are a great way to relax after a workout, and the locker rooms are always clean and well stocked. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and they make sure to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. I have also attended a few of their fitness classes and I have been impressed by the quality and variety of classes offered. Overall, I highly recommend this athletic club to anyone looking for a great workout experience in a friendly and supportive environment.

Clean and well run. We went to check out the pool because we heard it was nice and were not disappointed. It's perfect for little ones and new learners because they have a huge section that is only 3' deep as well as all kinds of pool toys and for the little ones.
