We registered right after we did the trial class. The space looks spacious to start off with and looked organized from all fronts - right from the front desk, waiting parents who were at the gallery to the little kids on the different swim lanes. We found the coach Ms Kim very kids friendly and knowledgeable and the pool and showers to be clean. The parking is ample since it's attached to a shopping mall.

I've been taking my 3-year-old niece to this swim school for over two months. While the young…read moreadults teaching the classes haven't always been the best, I continued paying because my goal was simply to get her comfortable, confident, and started with swimming. Today, the manager Mike approached me and said my niece was "having too much fun," wasn't keeping her back against the wall, and was disrupting the class. He then told me if it happens again, she would need to move to private 1-on-1 lessons for $90. Really? These are 3-year-old children learning a new skill. Part of teaching young kids is having patience, redirecting them, and making learning fun. It honestly felt more like an upsell than a solution. There are plenty of swim schools in the area, and I'll choose to spend my money somewhere my niece is valued, encouraged, and appreciated.

Terrible experience booking missed sessions. I enrolled two kids, and their app is terrible. So…read morebuggy, so if you see two spots left for a time, and you book one child, the slot disappears from options. If you cancel your booking, BOTH open slots show up again. Same thing even if there are 3 slots opens. Their team is unhelpful with bookings, rude, and there is no refund policy. So if you paid in advance thinking you were going to get makeups, think again - most likely, you won't have slots opening up for you to book your makeups at a time that works for you. Especially not if you're stuck with having to book for two kids like me.

I found British Swim School through a quick search online for local swim classes. My daughter is 16…read moremonths old. She started lessons (which take place at the LA Fitness in North Brunswick by the old A&P) when she was 14 months old in the Tadpole class. She used to be afraid of the bathtub and hated taking baths. Now, she loves splashing in the tub! Taking swim lessons at British Swim School eased her anxiety about the water. We belong to our local pool and she LOVES practicing her swim skills. Everywhere we go, everyone is amazed at how much she loves the water. Our instructors are super nice as well. Edwin really knows what he is doing and his team does such a good job of working with the babies one on one. We can't wait to start up swim lessons in September !

So it started badly, as on the way in, I got yelled at profusely, and I mean really yelled at, by some old man telling me I was driving the wrong way through the parking lot - and he stood in my way to yell at me too. It wasn't well marked and was banal as nobody else was driving in the lot. Then when I got on with my cardio, the TV was staticky, and while the gym had some decent stuff and some fit-looking members, I have to say these are not great facilities and the space is a little cramped. They offer no towels, no hairdryer, and in general, not one of the best I've used. I'd give it a 4 if not for the fact that the TV, lack of towels, parking issues, and especially getting yelled at, all made me not enjoy my workout much.

Prior to Covid, the facility was put on notice by me regarding unacceptable hygiene and cleanliness…read moredue to patrons leaving behind their wipes in the cup holders of various equipment. Only after a meeting with managers and CEO did it improve....briefly, while the employees walked up and down the floor giving me dirty looks because they now had to do something. The practice continued and did not follow normal hygiene practices, nor was anything enforced, ever. Covid comes, and enrolled patrons are notified that they can suspend membership until a specific date, and if not (suspended membership), it will automatically be re-enabled and charged unless notified. No ongoing communication has occurred since then, and only verbal information is/was provided. As of July 1st, no resumption of gym facilities yet they steal money from my on file credit card making an assumption that they may soon be able to open, and placing the burden of me having to keep extending my requested suspension. I'll assume I'm not going back as I'll be at risk, and because of their lackluster previous inabilities, I'm certain they may never return to normal. One might think that they would contact persons to ask if they minded them to have their funds stolen.

Overall, I really appreciate being a member of this gym…read more The cons: what other yelpers have already said-- the cost is very high in comparison to other local gyms and the other chains (Retro, Work Out World). The facilities are somewhat out of date, however, the staff does work hard to ensure that they are well maintained. The pro's: The staff members are awesome- trainers, front desk greeters, and most notably, the class instructors. I've been a member of many gyms prior to starting here, and was always intimidated at taking classes. However, starting at The Club, I was able to jump right in, take classes, and it was thanks to the instructors. Caesar and Celita are by far the best instructors that I've encountered- they have both the high energy, enthusiasm, and dynamic personality to engage a class full of people and keep them coming back. I've met great people within the classes, and it always feels like a group effort. I've also done my son's birthday party at The Club, and it was a great experience as well. The pricing for that was great-- I think we spent $150 for a birthday party, which you can't find anywhere else. My son had a blast playing with his friends, and the girls who hosted the party were engaging and enthusiastic. Overall, I think this is a great gym, and I'm glad to be a member. For me, I justify the expense with ensuring that I am coming to the gym often, and making full use of the facilities. If you're just looking for a place to pop on a treadmill three times a month, then no, this probably isn't your gym.
