My kids have been swimming at GF for about 2.5 years. They have been doing great and love the…read morefacility, instructors and front desk staff. We enjoy the fact that the pool is always heated and the lessons are very structured. Even during the pandemic, Goldfish found a way to safely remain open without making things weird for the children. The class sizes are 4:1. I really liked it during the pandemic because it shrunk to 3:1 and gave the kids more time in the pool during their 30 min lessons. They are back to 4:1 now but It's not really a big issue unless one of the kids in your class messes around too much. The managers and owners are really down to earth and easy to talk to if you feel like you have an issue. They take your concerns seriously and understand that sometimes your child might not match well with the instructor scheduled, so moving to another class/time might work better for your child. They offer open swim for members which is great. We live pretty far and don't have access to a pool regularly, so we try to get to open swim when we can. Hopefully, they will add more open swim times and/or bring it back on Saturdays. Overall, 10/10 definitely recommend!

I gave two stars because the swim staff is nice. When we purchased our package, we were told the…read moreclasses we purchased didn't expire. Fast-forward six months when we had to skip classes due to scheduling over the weekends. We were then told oh we need to re-enroll in order to use those classes. Well, this means you didn't have to go twice a week to make up for what you didn't have the chance to do originally. This is not what we were told when we purchased. I went back back-and-forth, whether I should post or not. We have chosen to go to a different place because we felt lied to and cheated out of a lot of money. I would not recommend this company anymore, and I hope they change their business practices to something more ethical.

We had a great experience at Aqua-Tots. Our seven-year-old son has always enjoyed wading and…read moresplashing, but we never had consistent or convenient access to pools or beaches. After observing another child needing lifeguard intervention in a pool while we were on vacation, I realized he needed to learn to swim. My own efforts to teach him, however, were utter failures. He was apprehensive about taking lessons, but his instructors at Aqua-Tots were well prepared with appropriate lesson plans and confident demeanor. He undertook more challenging maneuvers in his first lesson than I had ever been able to coax him into attempting. Within a few weeks, he was comfortably floating and swimming, and when our neighborhood pool opened a few months later, he had the confidence to jump in and has never looked back. I appreciated the small class sizes, four kids max, and our son often had classes with only one or two others. The instructors are good at keeping kids of diverse ages on track and involved, and the school seems to do a good job of grouping kids by ability rather than age. All staff we interacted with were friendly and professional. The facility was always clean, no small accomplishment with the number of wet little feet running around. The only thing we didn't care for was that the school is frequently booked to capacity so there are often not enough seats for everyone to comfortably observe the lessons through the window. I would recommend this school to any family with small children needing help learning to swim.

We've had an amazing experience with Aqua-Tots in Cary! Both of my kids joined at Level 3, and now,…read morethree years later, they are in Level 8. We've seen tremendous growth in their confidence, skills, and love for swimming. All the coaches have been fantastic over the years. I may not remember every name, but each one has played a role in my kids' progress. A special thank you to Coach Zachary -- he was absolutely wonderful and made a big impact. Currently, Coach Cole is doing a great job as well! The front desk team and receptionists have always been friendly, helpful, and professional. The overall environment is positive, encouraging, and very well organized. We're truly grateful for the dedication of the entire Aqua-Tots team. Highly recommend to any parents looking for quality swim lessons for their kids!

I only went twice and that was on a guest pass, I say that the service was not exceptional, but…read morethey were quite nice and it made for a pleasant experience. The facilities were nice and the equipment seemed new and well kept which is always a nice thing. The problem is the value, it's a little bit of a drive and not Central for where I typically am, and the cost is just astronomical. I would not consider this a gym, but more as a luxury inclusive area. It's got lots of fun amenities and I think they take good care of it for the most part, but I just can't justify the cost.

I've been going to Lifetime Fitness Cary for about 4 years. Yes it's expensive, but I feel like…read moreit's worth it. I love the group fitness classes and I love that you reserve your spot in advance. They also just started a new Core Tone Reform class with reformers for regular members, and that class kicks your butt! I also really enjoy the sauna, steam room, and jacuzzis. Another benefit is the kids membership. My stepdaughter loves coming to the kids club for gymnastics, rock climbing, yoga, and more. I know that she is having fun while I'm doing a class. They have Parents Night Out on the weekends and that's such a nice perk! There's also day camps, which has saved us a few times when we needed child care during a school break. The pool is also wonderful in the summertime. The cafe food is average. I'd love it if the quality was amped up just a bit. The only thing I really ever get is the vegan PB& B shake. It's delicious! It has peanut butter, banana, cafe mocha greens, almond milk, and vegan protein powder. I haven't been to the salon yet, but it's great that this is an option. Overall, I love this gym and I would go every day if I could.
