    Teagle is by far the best Fitness Center at Cornell. It is conveniently located, has a swimming…read morepool and has two floors creating a great cultural split for working out. The top floor is dedicated to machines (cardio and isolation resistance training) and the bottom floor is dedicated to Olympic lifts, free weights, and bar weights. So naturally the top floor is friendly for people of all body types; people don't have to worry about being intimidated, judged, or having to deal with meat-head behavior (like excessive grunting). The bottom floor is where the intense (potentially aspiring) muscle men and women go, and they don't have to be bothered by people who are less intense about excercise than them. The gym does get crowded, but far less than Noyes or Helen Newman. I have never had to wait for a treadmill longer than 1 hour here. Most of the time you can sign up for a spot within 30 minutes of your arrival, so you can comfortably do a little resistance training before your cardio workout without waiting endlessly afterwards (like you have to at Noyes).

    This is the largest athletic building on campus for non athletes. There is a pretty nice swimming…read morepool, a room that holds yoga and other classes, a free weight gym and a cardio / weight training equipment room. Teagle is conveniently located on campus, so students and staff can go better classes or right after class. The only negative of the building is the locker rooms. They are pretty outdated and several of the toilets and sinks are in pretty bad shape. The locker rooms could use a renovation. As far as the workout facilities though, there is a large range of equipment and plenty of space.

    We made a HUGE mistake by going with Kennedy's for our new pool filter. First of all, when they…read morefirst came out, we wanted them to help assemble and start it up for us. They could only assemble it but couldn't do anything else because of the way the old filter basket fit through the deck--we had to remove some boards on our own to get everything to fit just right. Fine, we did as they asked us. We asked them to please come back and see that we had everything cut right, fit, etc and please make sure everything is in proper working order before we do anything else. They never came back. We called a few times and patiently waited over 2 months---keep in mind we paid for the whole startup in May which included the new filter plus installation. Had we known we had to do everything on our own to begin with, we would have just gone and picked it up ourselves. Fast forward 2 months---we now have a leak in the pump seal between the motor and the filter! The whole reason we wanted someone out here to help us in the first place was so this didn't happen. So we cleaned out the cartridge, rinsed everything out---they finally come out to fix the pump seal and they wind up jamming the cartridge back into the filter so that it now won't come out, and was all all bent. We wound up having to the whole center piece out with the cartridge and return to Kennedy's at 7am before anyone went out on call because nobody would come to our home to fix this--they denied ever doing this and said they never touched our filter. WE HAD THE CARTRIDGE CLEANED OUT AND ON THE LAWN WHEN THEY ARRIVED---THEY JAMMED IT BACK IN AND DAMAGED IT. We spoke to both receptionists about this and were met with denial and them placing the blame on us, as if we made all this up! They were less than friendly or understanding. Kennedy's did replace the cartridge they damaged at no cost--and that is why they are even getting 1 star on here. 2 weeks later, the pump seal has blown again--we called back and they refused to even offer to come out to check it for us, saying we needed to unhook everything from the filter and bring it in ourselves. Again, they were confrontational on the phone, and not willing to accept responsibility for their lack of quality control. A brand new filter should work for more than a few weeks at a time! Each time they have been out, something else has subsequently happened. (Incidentally, we called another company about this and they said no problem--we'll get someone out to look at it). Furthermore, they charged us $171 for less than 30 minutes on a $19 part--and the job not done correctly. When I spoke to the receptionist on the phone the last time--I asked her how they could not stand by their name--she assured me they did--and I said if you cared enough about your customers you'd send someone out to help us fix what should not have needed to be fixed in the first place---we will NEVER recommend Kennedy's to anyone nor will we ever go back there. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
