David Orr has been training with me for three years now. As a physician I am very aware of the…read moreimportance of proper body mechanics and safely pushing to new fitness levels. David is the most knowledgeable and consistent trainer I have ever worked with. He brings years of experience to his clients and is great at tailoring his training to all ages. David began by helping me set fitness and health goals and after achieving those goals he encouraged me as I set new ones. I can not recommend David enough if you are looking for the best and most experienced trainer in Waco. He recently moved and started training out of The Lab. Their equipment is new, the facility is clean and well maintained and it is a perfect setup to work with your trainer without the usual distractions at most gyms(noise, overcrowding, smell).

Like I said, it's a smaller gym, so it doesn't have hundreds of machines, but it has all of the basics you need to get a really good workout in (squat rack, leg press, smith machine, nice dumbbells, cardio equipment, etc.). Gym is clean and everything is in good condition! I typically only have to share the gym with one or two other regulars + their trainer. Everyone is so nice, polite, friendly and accommodating; they are happy to share equipment and make sure they're not in your way or hindering your session at all! I love working out here and will be sad to leave. If I weren't moving, I'd train here forever.

When I started working with her it had been a few years since I'd been in the gym. Not only did I need a fitness routine, but also nutrition help to get me back on track. Alanna helped with both and was incredibly patient with me while also pushing me to do my best. She often found my strengths and used those to help me gain momentum, while working on little things I wasn't quite there on. Because I was on a budget she also helped me get creative with meal prep and provides solutions for not only myself but my family. I can't recommend her more highly!!

I have been at the pool the last 3 weekends (4 Xs total) this Summer and it is truly 5 stars! The check in is super easy. I paid $5 each time (a discount for C.Hill) residents as well as your guest. They do take cash or card which is convenient. The line is never long, really non existent most of the time. Parking is a breeze especially if you get there for open swim which begins at 12 noon. The majority of the lounge chairs are shaded and you don't have to worry about anyone taking/moving your belongings as you enjoy the water. The lazy river is extremely clean and well kept and the floaties are in abundance and FREE! Everyone is respectful in the pool! At any given time there can be newborn babies to the seniors and every age in between so being courteous is just as important as having fun! The music is great too! They play EVERYTHING including Spanish songs on Cedar Hill Tunes. There is one lazy river, one slide which is so much fun and never a long line, as well as a larger pool that is wheelchair assessable too. It was in this pool that my BF taught me to swim this Summer so the Cedar Hill Lagoon will forever be memorable to me! They also have about 7 cabanas that you can rent out for your private event. The bathrooms have great air flow and are pretty well kept with no trash on the ground an I definitely appreciated the cleanliness. They also have showers too. The lifeguards are also professional and they appear to have fun too. There is food available if you get hungry. A CH police officer does make his/her round at the pool too so it definitely makes you feel safe an at ease. I hope the Lagoon continues to be a fun, clean, memorable place for my future summers!

What a way to finish enjoying such a wonderful park. Please check out!
