I asked for this to be canceled and I am still being charged. I was told over the phone this would be canceled and I would no longer be charged. Honestly so frustrating.

Very kind front desk staff. I went to get a massage because I could not even stand up straight. The masseuse did an incredible job!!! I've also taken workout classes there before and loves it!

Had my daughter Baby Shower here, the rooms are very spacious & can accommodate large number of guests. The center already had the table and chairs set up for us, all we had to do was decorate.The people working the Front Desk was so nice & friendly. The guy even came in to help us clean up when we was finishing up...definitely would recommend them to anyone!!
