Where do you go when the Georgia sun beats down and there's no relief in sight? The pool, that's…read morewhere. This city has a good network of public pools, and some are better than others. This one is nestled in the east side of Piedmont park, accessible by a short walk through some lower traffic entrances. If there is space, park in the neighborhood bisected by Park Drive NE. You can walk through the gate, curve around the lake, and you're there. The pool overlooks the lake, a prime location indeed. Piedmont has a similar relationship to Atlanta that say Central park has to NYC. It's a large, grassy space that everyone loves, and you can see the city looming in the background. The entrance to the pool itself reflects demand; on our afternoon visit, we had to wait a bit for other visitors to leave - they have a hard cap on the crowd size. At 11:00 on a Saturday, they were charging non-members a sweet five bucks. Anyway, the pool is really, really nice. The layout is such that you can do adult things if you like (laps, whatever), or you can entertain your kids if you need to do that. The child friendly features are abundant, including a splashpad and a lazy river. Mine really dig all of that stuff. Shady areas are abundant and you can chill on a nearby grassy area with your blanket or whatever. There is no diving board (no deep end either), but what public pool has one of those anymore? Lockers are abundant and things are generally clean. What's not to like? Also, shout out to Sean's, a very capable snack bar.

First time on Emory University Campus and of course it's for a swim meet. The pool was not on Yelp…read moreand I added. The pool is off the main drag through campus and has signage. Parking is by one of two garages if they open to visitors. Otherwise it's on surface a block away, not bad. For my event the garage was utilized and very convenient. Emory hosted the 2022 UAA Swim Conferences in February. Seven other schools were involved. Without hesitation Emory offers the best pool in the UAA. My son who swims for Washington University in Saint Louis was on the conference team. It was the first major event back since COVID struck. The spectator area is spacious and they never had an issue with ticketing which was more limited with mitigation. Mark were required. The negative was no back on the seats. The pool is a 50 meter with retractable bulkhead to run short course yard in college. They also offer diving with its own well. The deck is spacious. The building is probably 15 years old but kept up beautifully. It's connected to the recreation center. Washington University aka Washu came in third to Emory & Chicago. The Men and specifically Women's Emory squad is extremely strong year after year and has won multiple National Championships. The highlight of the meet was the Washu Men's 800 Free Relay winning their event setting a new school and conference record. It would be the only individual or relay the men would win the entire four day meet. My son Ryan swam the third leg. During my sons four years I Susie T to return two more years as the host rotates with University of Chicago. A facility to be proud of for Emory University.

It's been 1 year since I started visiting this LA location…read more They have a good variety of machines (cardio, strength, weights); it's a little limited in terms of spaces; the "personal training" area is very small and it's missing equipment; there's 2 classrooms (one for spinning and the other for all the other classes like yoga, etc). This location has a pool, hot tub and sauna. My interactions with the staff have been very friendly and useful. Often they have machines that need to be maintained/repaired. In general they keep it clean too. It's packed around 5pm-8pm. But pretty enjoyable weekend mornings (8am-10am).

The staff at this LA Fitness location are the highlight of the entire facility--they consistently…read moreprovide excellent service, and I would give them a full 5‑star rating. Unfortunately, the rest of the gym does not meet the same standard. The equipment is noticeably outdated, with several machines showing rust and general wear. The swimming pool and sauna also appear old and in need of renovation. Some of the group‑class room speakers have been out of service for several months, and despite multiple complaints, they still haven't been fixed. In general, it takes an unusually long time for anything in this facility to be repaired. Adding to the frustration, the operating hours have been significantly reduced. LA Fitness previously offered extended hours: Monday-Thursday: 5:00 AM - 11:00 PM Friday: 5:00 AM - 10:00 PM Saturday & Sunday: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM Now the hours have been cut to: Monday-Thursday: closing at 10 PM Friday: closing at 9 PM Saturday & Sunday: closing at 6 PM These changes seem to be cost‑saving measures, yet membership prices continue to rise. While I understand the need for profitability, decisions like these risk driving members away. I've tried recommending this gym to others, but once they see the outdated equipment, reduced hours, and maintenance issues, they often choose a less expensive gym with better facilities--or a premium gym that actually justifies higher prices. LA Fitness has an excellent staff, but unless management updates the facility, addresses long‑standing maintenance issues, and re‑evaluates the shortened hours, they risk losing many loyal members.

We mainly came just for the pool, so I didn't get the full chance to utilize everything the gym had to offer. The locker rooms and the pool were really nice though. When we arrived to the pool, we grabbed some drinks at the pool bar and noticed there was a DJ playing. There were many lounge chairs scattered throughout the pool area, but it wasn't too busy, so we were able to find a good spot to sit. We were both with our wives, so there were 4 of us. We had some snacks and drank by the pool. While I did love my visit here, I would never sign up to be a member, as monthly memberships are $200+ which in my opinion is quite steep. We Ubered here, so I am not too familiar with where parking is for members. I would come back here, but only if I was able to visit for free.

I never imagined I would be writing something like this about a place that claims to prioritize…read moresafety and privacy. While using the women's locker room/rejuvenation area at Life Time Fitness Buckhead, I was completely naked when a male contractor entered the space. I was fully exposed. There was no warning given to me that allowed time to dress, cover myself, or leave the area. No announcement reached me. No safeguard protected me. Whatever policies Life Time claims to have, they failed in real time -- because the result was my total exposure. What happened next was just as disturbing. Instead of taking accountability, management focused on defending "procedure." I was essentially told that everything was done properly -- despite the fact that I was left naked in front of a man. That alone tells me this situation was not taken seriously. Then, the next day, someone attempted to break into my home and sexually assault me. I am stating this plainly because context matters. At this point, it is unknown whether there is any connection between these events. That uncertainty is exactly why this should have been handled with urgency, care, and seriousness. Instead, my concerns were minimized, and I was left feeling unsafe -- not only as a member, but as a woman. I should not have had to escalate this. I should not have had to involve corporate or law enforcement just to be heard. A gym locker room is supposed to be one of the most protected private spaces. Life Time Buckhead failed to protect mine, and then failed again by dismissing the impact. Privacy is not a "process." Safety is not a script. Dignity is not negotiable. Based on my experience, Life Time Buckhead did not uphold any of these. Mike the GM is a sorry somebody.

We're kicking off the new year in search of a better pool service company than Sweetwater Pools…read more The subpar reviews on this app align with our disappointing experience. Here's why we don't recommend Sweetwater Pools... Inexperienced technicians - unable to answer the most basic maintenance questions. Disrespectful to property - the technicians would disassemble our pool skimmer, using the pole to mix their chemicals (that's fine!), but then not put it back together. We repeatedly asked them to put it back the way they found it to no avail. It felt lazy and disrespectful. Zero communication - really hard to get anyone to call you back to address concerns or questions. To sum it up, we never felt like Sweetwater Pools valued our business or ever tried to salvage it. You have been forewarned.

Not a very good experience with Sweetwater Pools, we needed our pool cleaned after it was opened…read morefrom another not so pool friendly company, we agreed on the contract, made the monthly payment, almost 2 weeks later a guy from there comes out to clean and get the pool ready for summer, he only vacuumed half the pool, and dropped 5 3" tabs in the strainer basket and then he left, his "supervisor" then came out couple hours later, said he would have everything done even if he had to come back out and vacuum again, well he left to after about an hour, sides of the pool were not cleaned, debris still on the bottom of the pool, empty chemical bottle left on the pool deck, left and never heard from him again, called Saturday, spoke with Management but since he is management North, he could do anything, Monday I called the office, told them everything that was and was not done, I was told that the pool techs report stated " the pool was cleaned, chemicals added, and the deck was cleaned up with a leaf blower" I think its pretty sad when employees tell stories to there employers to make themselves look good while making a PAYING customer look bad.
