    I'm always grateful when I can get an indoor or outdoor swim and Hood River Aquatic Center provides…read moresummer. Typically covered pool, during the summer months they open a few panels to let the sunshine and warm air shine through. Oh, and the wind, too! It is Hood River so fierce winds are to be expected. You can do a Day pass for $5 or buy punch card of 10 swims for a discount, more of a discount if you live in Hood River and are a senior. Even though I'm from Portland, I purchased o e because I know it will get used. I'm in Hood River frequently - my Happy Place- even happier when I get in a swim. There are 4 lap lanes and 2 per lane, splitting rather than circle swimming, always a plus. There is a timer clock on each end making it super easy to know when you've accomplished your time or to see how quickly you are swimming. Lap lanes are usually available all day but always check their website for the most accurate info. A large play area is available for kids and families as well as an individual shallow pool. A few lounge chairs and lots of metal bleachers on the perimeter. You can also walk a few feet to an outdoor patio if you need more sun. I did! Needed to speed up my drying time after my shower. Locker rooms are typical, a few private showers and an open shower pit area. Staff is friendly. They were super helpful and informative when I called to inquire about usage and the same friendliness greeted me when I arrived. Happy to have discovered this pool and will be back! I have a punch card to use up!!!

    I am so grateful for all the staff at HRAC. During this time with COVID, their jobs are more…read morestrenuous and they're under more pressure but they all have such positive attitudes. I swim here weekly, almost daily, and they keep the pool and locker rooms immaculate. I feel safe coming here! Thank you staff for taking COVID seriously and keeping everyone safe!

The front desk staff is so welcoming, friendly, professional, and organized! As you enter, there is a beautiful restaurant with 3 big screen TV's airing a variety of sporting events. The food here is delicious! The club has a community feel where everyone is friendly and is having a great time. There are seasoned athletes to beginners of all kinds. It is far from snobby! It is clean and organized and is being updated! There are a variety of exercise programs and classes, a great free-weights area, and a fantastic variety of workout equipment, treadmills etc. The classes are lead by fun and caring fitness professionals. The tennis courts are amazing and the pros the nicest and most knowledgeable!!! New pickleball courts and a fantastic pickleball pro are some new wonderful updates! The club has a wonderful and easy to use app to book classes and courts. Did I mention the brand new and beautiful locker rooms and fun courtyard with a fire pit and yard games? The owners have worked hard to make Hood River Athletic Club a beautiful place and a sense of community with something for everyone!! I've lived in many places and I can honestly say, HRAC is the best all around fitness club I've ever seen. It's a special place!!

I really enjoy the tennis drills and get effective instruction from the pros. I only wish that they'd let me add family members to my household membership when they come for a month, then leave, then come back. The weekly membership is costly, but the monthly one was perfect. And I wish the online reservations would let you get on a waitlist so I wouldn't have to call. But everything else is awesome and the owners are super nice and conscientious.

    I signed up for the trial week here and my first few classes were with Victoria who is truly…read moreamazing. The positive energy from the group that filled the room and her insightful instruction is exactly why I like to include studio yoga into my practice. I thought I had found my new "yoga home." And then I came to Angela's class, which is why I urge you to stay away. Angela is the worst yogi, and quite possibly even a horrible person...and she owns this place. First, she didn't like my mat, or where I placed my mat, or which side of the mat I was using and proceeded to try to sell me a mat. Uhhh... Then, as I came into my first down dog she snaps at me to stop moving, so I froze. Then she proceeded to come and touch me on every pose! She didn't know me! She didn't ask me! She didn't know my body! To her credit, she may have assumed that I wanted to get really deep into each pose because it is obvious that I have practiced before, but after hiking that day I was a little sore/tired, and wanted to take it easy. I listen to my body and don't force poses. The penultimate straw was when, on my third down dog, she came and drove my heels into the mat! Drove.my.heels.into.the.mat. I flipped over and asked her to stop, and that her touch felt critical...she said "fine" and marched around the room loudly saying how she is showing us how to do things correctly and how important it is for her to touch, blah, blah. It felt so hostile! So hostile, in fact, that I rolled up my mat and left...after only 8 minutes. If you look at the website, she violated all of her own tenets. I'd like to say my story is unique, but I felt compelled to write this review after swapping Angela horror stories at the Thirsty Woman with some folks I had just met. So join Root Down at your own risk, and/or only take classes from Victoria and Jen. Namaste.

    Root Down is an exceptional addition to our community! All instructors within are skilled…read morededicated yoga practitioners. Definitely check in at Root Down when you have a moment.
