I had a great experience with Baltimore Beach volleyball! I played in a fall league, joining a team…read morethat was already established, so I don't have much experience with the registration-side of things, but I had a lot of fun! The courts are right by the water and well-maintained, the staff was very friendly, and I enjoyed the format of no scheduled games (which was different than other leagues I played in, it allowed for quite a bit of playing time). The league participants seemed to be of all ages and experience levels, so it was fairly easy to find a well-matched team to play against.

My friend invited me out to sub since he was short a player and enjoyed my first time out here. Granted the weather was beautiful and the sand was awesome. I was thinking the sand was going to be nasty, but its premium sand that the courts are filled with. There are about 6 courts and different leagues from 2's, 4's, and Coed. It's like the Volleyball House but outdoors :) You can park at the Rusty Scupper lot and get your ticket validated at the tent and just pay $4 for parking.

TLDR - Good variety of sports, decent officials... but do it for the excuse to get out and have…read moredrinking friends! I've been in PSN leagues for about 3 years now. I've done Coed softball, dodgeball, and bowling leagues, all of which were a casual level of competitiveness. Great for New-to-Towners - When I first started, it was at a time when I'd moved to the city and knew few enough people, so I signed up as a free agent in dodgeball, which launched me into a decent set of Thursday night drinking friends; I continued to play with them for 2 more seasons. This was a fantastic sport, with decent and fair refs, and the 12th street gym staff was always super friendly to us. Also super conviniently located near Irish pub where we get PSN drink specials! Great for groups - My second year in town, I found out some work buddies had a softball team going, and so I joined up with them, and lo and behold, I now had Sunday afternoon drinking friends! I always got a crack out of our ump, who was admittedly only half-interested in regulating our games, but he was a good sport (he played catcher for us in some low-attendance situations) and had enough stubborness to satisfy my desires in an ump (it's not a position for the weak of character). Great for couples - I did the bowling league as a weekly double-date type of deal with another couple. Unfortunately, that league went til about 10pm, and there was no drinking afterward. PSYCHE! There's totally drink service at your lane, and bowling is a great sport for having a few beers. Lucky Strikes is a fine place to bowl; though I don't think I'd frequent there of my own accord, it made for a good night out for the duration of the season. In the end, this catered to exactly what i was looking for - namely an excuse to get out of my apartment, do just enough athletic activity to trick myself into thinking I was being fit (and at a pretty reasonable price)... and, most importantly, going out for drinks afterward.

Just moved to South Philly and found out about this league through a friend. I'm a volleyball…read moreplayer so I'm trying out the outdoor 4v4 summer league. League seems well organized. A bit of a qualm is the outdoor seems to basically be rain or shine and we've played in pouring rain the last couple weeks. Sort of fun, but sort of crappy at the same time. Anyway, overall things seem pretty good and we'll see how it goes!

This company is incredible, the owners and the entire staff are truly good people. The leagues they…read morerun are well organized, planned and supported very well. I would recommend Playmore to anyone in the SJ and Philly area to join. Keep up the great work Playmore!

Love the competition for the coed basketball league but who ever runs it does a terrible job…read morestaffing. I've never known a league that has refs complain about players talking back about bad calls. THATS BASKETBALL! There's literally no level of basketball where players, coaches, fans..etc don't have a word or two for refs as long as it's in line. On top of that, the bias treatment my team was receiving. I don't want to jump to conclusions because my team was predominately black and brown but there was Definitely some type of favoritism being played for other teams over mine. Still looking for a league that can provided a great environment for players and that will staff good refs....bad refs = upset players. Basketball is a passionate game and Playmore has done a terrible job catering to people who love that game and competition.

I quite enjoyed my time at he Bellevue for a while that it's done a complete 180 in the last…read moreseveral months. The good: Very big and nice facilities with amazing great variety of equipment. A TON of group fitness classes if you're into that including free reformer Pilates classes (if you can get in.) Issues (that are unacceptable in general or just completely insane to have at the membership price point...these are things you deal with a budget gym or someplace you go for free): Constant elevator issues which cause lines and long wait times during peak hours. And for the last 6+ months they've only had two of three functioning if that. You know it's an issue, fix it for goodness sakes. Good luck if you rely on parking here. The entrance are closed half the time causing you to have to detour for a good ten plus minutes to get in and then exiting you're stuck behind trucks delivering in the alley they've left "open" for you to get out. And yes the validate but they randomly increased the price from $11 to $12 one day. Not a huge deal but why not tell members in advance? It's just sloppy. The sound systems are suboptimal for group classes especially in the HIIT studio. It is a vibe killer for sure. The spa that we were promising was coming soon when we joined in November of 2023 is still nowhere to be found. The locker rooms are adequately maintained but there are so many privacy issues. Often there are signs that there will be men working in the women's locker room. And the phone use is NUTS. People are on video conference calls! How is this allowed?? The cafe hours stink for early birds. If I'm done with my workout before 7am and I want coffee, I'm SOL. It's also insanely expensive. I cannot speak for the food there because I won't eat it after I saw a mouse in the cafe area while I was working from there one day. Treadmills are constantly broken. They added a bunch and now there's somehow less available because they cannot seem to maintain them. Out of service for a day or two is one thing but it goes way longer than that. Good luck and Godspeed accessing an assault bike or a ski erg between 10:15 and 2pm on weekdays. They're fully monopolized by the turf class and the HIIT studio is used for classes including mat Pilates (??) Generally speaking maintenance seems to be an issue. A pedal was hanging off one of the two assault bikes on the main floor this week when I was using it. A tread was sticking a few weeks ago when I started to run on it. I couldn't strap my foot into a rower the other day. It doesn't seem like it would be too much to ask that they keep their eye on this. I do feel like it used to be under control but had fallen off a cliff recently. Too many people here are shooting footage for social media. I cannot complete a workout without being concerned I'm in the background of someone's selfie-video or photo shoot. Hotel guests have full access to the gym. It adds to the insane crowds on the weekend and needs to get in check. Many of the trainers and instructors are great but a handful of trainers that either do personal training or turf classes are flat out RUDE. I was treated disrespectfully and even bullied by one of them while minding my own business just trying to complete my workout. This is embarrassing for the gym and needs to be addressed. Ultimately, I could no longer justify being a paying member with so little care shown by management about the member experience. Perhaps spending less time posting less on social media and more time listening to an addressing member feedback would be helpful.

The gym is great and I'm happy. I'm a member, but there are a few issues that come up daily…read more 1) As many have noted, access to the gym is difficult. The elevators are not great and often only 2/3 work. I think more transparency would be nice. 2) Showers start to flood within 30-seconds. It's gross and I, again, wish there was some transparency on why this isn't addressed. 3) The lack of outlets. This one is most frustrating as it seems to have the most straightforward solution. No outlets under the table in the library? Come on guys. Get a power strip or something please. Outlets by more seats on the 3rd floor mezzanine and terrace would be game changing! Please

As someone who's gone to this gym from time to time, there are a few pros & cons that I will list…read moreout in detail to help you better understand as to whether or not this gym is for you! Pros: The gym has a LARGE amount of amenities. There are two basketball courts (which are also used for pickleball), an indoor lap pool with hot tubs, an outdoor swimming area with slides (at an extra charge). There are classes, a ton of different machines for both cardio and lifting, and a really clean and upscale atmosphere. People tend to mind their own business and the staff have on average been helpful, at least in my experience. There is also a kids "daycare" if that's what you call it. A lot of parents will use this so they can have time to work out and actually work. There's a little area right next to the cafe that has tables and outlets. I see a lot of people with MacBooks doing work. They probably work remotely. Who knows. Cons: The price point for this gym is definitely the highest of them all coming in at $220.00 a month per person. IF you are married or you can prove cohabitation, you can add an additional person on your account for around $100 a month. This gym definitely has a crowd that is very gymcentric. This isn't a bad thing. But some people who are looking for a more chill or less intimidating atmosphere may think twice. I was one of these people until I decided to just not care. But that's easier said than done. The gym can be exceptionally crowded at peak hours. So if you plan on going daily I'd do my very best to avoid late afternoons on weekdays and nights on weekends. I was hoping the bathroom situation would be a little better but, there seems to be 2 bathrooms for ladies and men of course (from what I've seen). And with the amount of people there sometimes, it can be a little bit hectic. The locker room is fine and the showers are just average. At the price point of $220.00 I was expecting some futuristic pod shower than also does your taxes but, we all can't have what we want. The outside swimming area is an additional monthly charge, by the way. Conclusion: So take it or leave it. The price point is HIGH, but there are a lot more amenities and options for machines than any other gym out there. Is that justified? I don't really know. So three stars. Until they have a robot that does my taxes, then it might go to 4.

Have been a member for about 5 months but have decided to cancel. The only reason I joined was to…read morehave somewhere to play both pickleball and have a gym. But to start: 1. Mt. Laurel location does not have pickleball courts. Only a basketball court with lines everywhere and rolling nets. Luckily I was able to stop at the Princeton location after work, if not for that I probably would've cancelled right away. Why does this location not have real pickleball courts and hardly any open play times?? 2. The gym is mediocre at best. Half of the space is dedicated for their strength training classes, so at busy hours, good luck finding a rack, especially one with a mirror in front of it. 3. They also don't have a turf area, or any sort of soft surface. It is all hardwood. 4. Half of the machines are very old, especially the cable machines Also, their business tactics are shady in general. When going to sign up online, my only option for membership was "the signature" so I assumed that is all they had. Turns out after 5 months I realized they have a standard membership that is slightly cheaper, but is not marketed anyhwere because they want you to pay up for the signature. So I was paying around $414 a month for x2 people to get subpar basically everything.

At once, excitement filled the air As people scurried all apace Searching for an ideal spot where They would relax and watch the race. The hydraplanes were works of art, Team colors did the drivers wear. They were preparing for the start With engines in their best repair. An ambulance was standing by With paramedics on the scene, In hopes that naught would awry Nor accidents to supervene. The Coast Guard cutter would arrive And then the race would soon begin. The atmosphere was so alive With the flow of adrenaline. The year is nineteen-fifty-one, The place is Stansbury Beach Club. The boats await the starting gun To mark this east-coast racing hub. The main event is inboard boats, As Guy Lombardo leads the way, They speed in laps 'round marker floats That stretch far out into the bay. About this time, once every year, This Wilson Point Men's Club event Holds regattas (when the weather's clear), With cash and trophies to present. People attend from far and wide As their heroes thrash the river, Regardless of the current's tide, A victory to deliver.
