I like checking out pickleball places when traveling and found that Gorin had open play. They cap the number of players and you need to pre-register online and for me as a guest, it ended up being close to $25 after fees. This was a little shocking to me since I usually pay around $8 and not to mention it was only for 2.5 hours. But nonetheless I am glad I got was able to check it out. The facility itself looks like it used to be a long warehouse previously; there is a central hall down the middle with courts to the left and workout areas to the right with the bathrooms located at the end of the long hall. But There's also a nice seating area and lobby at the front if you're waiting for someone. As a guest, it would've been nice if there was a receptionist since I had no idea where to go. I pretty much wandered into the first court which luckily was the right place. There was a court monitor which really helps move open play along and different areas per level. While the courts are pretty nice, there is not much room to sit or place to take breaks. However that wasn't a problem for me since I pretty much played back to back games which I found was pretty much the consensus of most players since it was only 2.5 hours. Definitely got in a good workout, played with good people and tried out a new facility which is a win in my book. read more

We love our kids' coaches at Gorin--Coach Omer, Coach Lucas, and Coach Davi. They're not just teaching tennis; they're helping our kids build sportsmanship, manners/etiquette, confidence, and mental readiness. - Coach Omer has helped my 8-year-old son develop resilience--learning to trust himself, his small hands, and his racket. At his first tournament win, my son came out and said "mom! I made every shot count until the end and trusted myself!" and said he learned this from Coach Omer. - Coach Lucas has coaches my daughter with techniques that fit her lean physique, and he brings so much fun and positivity to every class. She's definitely not a morning person but she/herself asked us to sign her up BEFORE school just to have a class with Coach Lucas. - Coach Davi has given both of my kids lasting joy for the sport, stronger strategic thinking, gameplay, and the confidence to stand up for themselves during tournaments. My kids look forward to Coach Davi's class every Saturday and never misses the class. It's been an amazing experience at Gorin. These coaches are true mentors who make our kids stronger every day and we've been with these coaches for a few years now. My husband also plays in their adult classes! One request for the facility: On Saturdays (@12:30), my kids do a mini group with Coach Davi and another kid we've been playing with for a long time. We're consistent customers and players on Saturdays. We would love to see this group moved off the Kids Court and onto a full court--these kids are growing and need more space to run. Several moms (which our kids play tennis together) have even said: please let us know right away when Coach Davi has a full-court option--we'd sign up immediately. We have a good group of kids who have been playing together (and similar levels) for a long time now with Coach Davi and want to stay together- but they're growing up and super energized to run more! read more

Lucas S. is a very sweet coach, and he has a real passion for teaching during his group lessons. Not all coaches give detailed advice in group settings, but he's one of the few who will tell you exactly what you need to work on--even how to improve your serve. If the group isn't too big, he will even teach strategy, which feels almost like a private lesson. I can tell he teaches with his whole heart. He truly loves his job, and he's on the court almost every day. You can clearly see how much time and effort he puts into his students. read more

Good place, I train with trainer Valentin, I like everything. There are a lot of different group classes for different levels. I recommend visiting. read more

Don't take coach Davi's class. I'm not the first one having negative experience with this coach. No wonder this place has such low rating. He made up excuses to exclude students without being honest and upfront. Which is super frustrating and confusing. Time wasting. read more

I booked a tennis court for an hour. Next day I noticed they charged me 19.95 labeled as conscience fee?which does not add up. I called to get more details but they just put me on voicemail. Then I received a text saying I was charge for entering 15 min prior to my reservation? I called again for more details and got no replay excepted another 19.95 charge? They seem to be retaliating against me just because I'm disrupting a charge???!!! This is absolutely horrible unprofessional behavior! So I have to call my credit card company to dispute. read more

My son began taking tennis lessons here about a month ago. The coaches are well- skilled, firm yet kind. I have signed up for another month of lessons. read more

Love the "a la carte" format of the various sessions - so convenient, and they are very fairly priced. It's not a fancy venue - clearly originally built for some other purpose - but the courts are kept in great condition and there's a reasonable amount of space beyond the baseline and alleys. Someone here clearly loves PVC pipe furniture and fixtures. It's everywhere. =) read more

The customer service is horrible, as many people here addressed. Something needs to be done with this here. Please don't yell at your customer. They were relatively cheaper than other tennis centers, but now that they increased their membership fee and the class / the court fee, such the competitive advantages are gone too. read more

I think overall the club itself is ok. But I feel like the lessons can be arranged in a way that is more beginner-friendly. Would hope to learn more of the basic stuff like movement and strokes. read more

I was running practice drills as a warm up with my son and they asked us to leave. It seems like if you even look like you're running a drill the staff is afraid that you would take their business. They are apparently afraid of dads who know how to play tennis. read more

I used to go to Gorin a couple years ago, before the pandemic hit. Since then they've switched their class registration system, which resulted in them erasing my paid class credits. I've tried to contact them several times via email and phone to get this settled but they have failed to respond in any way. The tennis here as I remember it was fun, but the customer service here is pretty unforgivable. read more

The service is so bad, and the coaches feel threatened if you try to show your sons how to play tennis. "you can't teach tennis, we're the coaches here", says the minimal wage failed tennis player manager. If you look at their "success stories", the last "winner" they had was a junior, in the last decade (2016). Parents, if you don't want winning tennis players, Gorin is the place for you. read more

BEWARE...  POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!  Extremely disappointed in the LAST MINUTE CANCELLATION (30 minutes) of the tennis clinic I was signed up for at Newport Hills site.  I'd made this reservation many days in advance, planning my day around joining this clinic.  Not only did they inconvenience me, but they didn't do anything to compensate for their last minute cancellation.  The situation was handled by personnel and management very poorly and they were very rude in their responses.  Moreover, they are now unresponsive and clearly don't care about their customers. read more

The one star is just for the customer service staff (the Bellevue Store manager especially). Just like other reviewers said, the customer service there is unreasonable and unforgivable. During summer break, some front desk staff are new, completely untrained and not dedicated to the work at all. I tried to reach out to the store by calling from 9am to 10:15am on July 22, 2021, nobody answered my call. I had to drive there to talk to the person, then I realized he was hypnotized by his personal phone and totally ignored the store phone. After I realized he was not helpful at all for solving my issue, I asked for his help to inform his manager. And he didn't contact his manager until I called one more time. The front desk staff was directed by the manager to call me back (Oh my god, they finally realized there was a customer they need to help.) After hiding behind the front desk staff and listening to the phone conversation for a while, the manager finally talked to me (It seems it's harder to have a chance to talk to her than to talk to our Bellevue City Council members.) After an unpleasant talk, they eventually realized that their front desk staff double charged me. Since this is not the first time to be treated rudely, all my confidence to this place is gone. No matter how disappointed to the Bellevue location, I recommend the Redmond location to new customers. Redmond is a much more sophisticated and professional location. read more
