He jokes that he has to go beyond Plano for Badminton and Booze, the two things he enjoys but does not mix. It's not good to drink and birdie either. Badminton not only requires mental clarity but physical dexterity as well when you play it seriously, and play it indoors. It's almost infectious as in being smitten ' by the bird', if you will or even if you don't will. Someone once said Bad..Minton is a bad and punishing sport and once you truly get to know and understand it, it's much worse! In fact, people don't take this sport lightly. It's not for the mentally and physically weak, not at all. Discover this wonderful game/sport at ABC.....you won't regret it! Tons of fun as well and family oriented.

Warning: Fraudulent Strings and Poor Quality!…read more I had my racket strung three times with what Vistara claimed was BG65 string, but 3 string broke within a week. Frustrated, I went to another stringing place, and immediately noticed that their BG65 string looked visibly different. I asked the staff about it, and they went above and beyond to verify the authenticity of their string and provided proof. Although they couldn't comment directly on Vistara's string, it was clear from comparison that the Vistara string was a fake and very poor quality. Attaching a photo of the real string for reference. Save yourself the hassle and avoid Vistara - they are using counterfeit strings!

Been here a couple of times because we have to practice for tournaments. Pros: New facility Have area to hang individual racquets to know who is knew in cue Pro Shop 18 courts mixed badminton and pickleball Indoors Day pass is cheaper than others Function rooms with microwave, fridge, toaster, tv, tables and chairs Cons: Small filthy restrooms Small parking space for a big facility Small waiting area for a big facility - If there is a tournament going on, and you have another tournament to attend, they have you wait at the front desk which does not have seating. I suggest they should just have everyone go inside to watch the other tournaments if not full so the front desk area does not get crowded. Bad lighting, too dark Flooring is hard, does not feel padded Pickleball is directly beside the badminton courts - the balls bounce to the badminton courts which makes it very dangerous for the badminton players

My tuition money to going to a great facility if its going towards the MAC!…read more I come here (I try to come here lol) 2-4 times in the week and every time it has yet to disappoint. The equipment is all very new and perfect for the college student! a place to put your books, a TV to watch, music to listen to all while running on a treadmill, or walking up 89 flights of stairs on the stair master! The track is 3 lanes and wide enough for people to walk and run 9 laps for a mile! Me and my roommate try to come as often as possible, and we love the facility here. A lot better than LA fitness or 24 hour fitness. The gym is vast and there are always enough machines to use. They also have rock climbing, billiards, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, ping pong tables, outdoor sand volleyball court and even an indoor and outdoor pool! There is so many fun and creative ways to workout here, and I'm never disappointed. It does get busy at times (as expected) the most busiest times are at the beginning of the semester and around 7ish or so (when everyone gets out of class) even though it's crowded, there is always something to workout on. There is just so much equipment and so much resources. I also took the group classes with my roommate it was $30 for a whole semester of group classes (yoga, piloxing, zumba, hip-hop cardio, total body pump, etc.) We absolutely loved the classes and the teachers of the class were fun and lively. The MAC is also a great place to study! If you're an extrovert (like me), this is a perfect place to study. The booths are nice and spacious, but they are hard to get (because everyone wants one) they also have many tables and TVs and a lot of people which is always fun on my study break when I want to people watch ._. There are also a lot of computers for you to work/study and even print things. UTA was certainly looking out for the best interest of their students when building the MAC. Love it here and always coming back!

They will hang bunch of…read moretheir rackets so no other people can hang theirs then when you find a court to finally play they'll tell you to leave after 20min. Also the worst management ever. Full of attitude with no absolute caring for customers except to collect your money. If you want to play in a smelly hot sauna, not to mention when it's over 100degrees Texas weather outside but still refuse to turn up the AC.. because the owner is very cheap. How can this place improve? New owner

Great facility for kids badminton training with various levels of training, and a number of time…read moreslot options for each (weekday/weekend). Very knowledgeable and friendly coaching staff. I have not played at this facility myself. Two negatives: 1) I don't think they ever answer the phone, and even when communicating by email it can take a few days to get a response. So if you have a question, it's easiest to ask them when you're there. 2) Parents aren't supposed to go into the gym to watch their kid's practice (there are mixed messages about this: sometimes this is enforced, sometimes not enforced, and other times I have been told I can go in). I would prefer to be able to watch.

I came here on Tuesday evening with few friends. At the entrance, we had to register for our online…read moreaccount, sign the waiver, add payment method through the website, and it was digitally charged for the open play session. The price was decent, only ~$12 for multiple hours of playtime. At the entrance they also had some rackets, shoes, accessories for purchase. There were couches for resting as well. Upon entering the play area, I was pleasantly surprised how good the space was. All courts were new, with quality mats on the floor. Excellent lighting. Courts were well spaced out. Small benches were around each court for sitting and putting the stuff. All of the 9 courts were busy at that time, so there were over 30 players in the open play. We shared courts with others players while playing for almost 2 hours. Everyone used plastic birdies here. I was the only one using feather birdies. The staff member was friendly. He gave us bunch of info over the phone when we called. He assisted us with the sign up process as well. Overall I had an excellent time playing at this facility, got to play with some really good quality players as well.

All Flash, No Substance The only reason this place gets a…read moresingle star is because the building is actually nice. Don't let the new equipment and shiny infrastructure fool you--the experience inside is a total disaster. * Rude Staff: From the moment you walk in, you're treated like an inconvenience. The front desk staff are consistently dismissive and act as if answering a simple question is a personal insult. * Dishonest & Collusive Management The leadership here is fundamentally unprofessional across all levels. It's not just one "bad apple"--there is a deep-seated culture of collusion where managers consistently cover for each other's mistakes. Instead of taking accountability, they resort to gaslighting and rewriting facts to dodge responsibility. It is impossible to have a transparent conversation or resolve a genuine concern when the entire management team prioritizes fabricated excuses** over basic integrity. They would rather protect their own images than fix a problem for a customer. * Zero Customer Service: There is a fundamental lack of basic service here. If you have an issue, don't expect a resolution; expect an argument. It's a shame to see such a high-end facility wasted by a team that clearly doesn't want to be there. Save your money and your sanity--go somewhere where they actually value their members.

They did it right when they planned, designed and built Terrell Rec. This is the newer of two…read morerecreation centers in Allen. I've been utilizing the other,Joe Farmer for about 9 years. Recently,they've temporarily closed Joe Farmer for some updates allowing me to use the new one. Yes,there are two different membership fees for each and the difference is significant. However, after experiencing the new expanse that is Stephen G Terrell Rec center, I am inclined to move my membership here soon. A few of the reasons: Huge open spacious vibe that has a psychologically positive impact. Much larger and more modern 3 lane running/walking tract that threads thru a large part of the facility. Extensive resistance weight areas including,2 free weight areas and one machine area...all state of the art. Treadmill,elliptical, rowing, and stepping machines, in copious amounts. Outside terrace exercise area with sleds,ropes,bags etc In addition a 2 story play area for children,meeting rooms, classrooms etc. This is a archetectually well designed and implemented modern community " rec center". Oh,did I mention the 7 basketball courts?...... Go!

I would like to see more 5lb and 2.5 lb plates so I don't have to hunt for them before my first set but it's not too big of an issue. Overall great gym for the price.
