I only reached out to Brian based on a Yelp review stating Brian scheduled a few tennis lessons…read morewhile the reviewer was on a short visit to Miami. Brian's response time was not great. Maybe a week to hear back. Only way you can get a pickleball lesson from Brian is by signing up for a months-long commitment. Might be a great tennis resource, but if you're looking for a pickleball lesson, don't start here. Spoiler alert: it doesn't take several months to learn how to play Pickleball. Brian wasn't especially cordial, but he did offer a few other suggestions. Because it took him forever to respond, however, I had already gotten a great response from a few other places.

After being out of the tennis game for ten years or so, I decided it was time to get back in! I…read moresearched for tennis lessons around Miami and decided to give Backhand City a try. Brian offers novice and intermediate group classes throughout the week and a package of six sessions costs $225. Classes take place at Kirk Monroe Tennis Center in Coconut Grove in the evenings. The classes I attend start at 8:00 pm and last until 9:30 pm, with an optional warmup at 7:30 pm. Attendance varies but is usually anywhere from 4-8 people depending on the night. Overall, I've learned a ton the handful of times I've gone. Brian is very knowledgeable and passionate about the sport. My fellow classmates are super friendly and encouraging... I'm starting to progress and will hopefully be confident enough one day to take part in one of the tournaments he organizes. No matter where you are on your tennis journey, I'd recommend giving Backhand City a try if you're looking to fine tune your skills!

We highly recommend DFAM to everyone who wants to learn fencing or who is already an experienced fencer.

Over the years the Diamond Club has gone through several changes but unfortunately the latest…read moreiteration is the worst - by far and it almost seems as if management has given up. They certainly have cheapened out. Gone is the DJ which provided a great sense of place (you just didn't have DJ's in other cities) and it really celebrated the party atmosphere of Miami. Also gone are any remnants of a good buffet. Prior to this year the buffet featured some decent choices and several different stations but now the most prominent food displayed are the Hot Dogs. In what purports to be a special upscale experience now has franks as their main choice on the buffet. There is nothing wrong with a Hot Dog at a ball game but previously the Hot Dog station was a secondary table off to the side. The buffet still features a carving station but it's not very good and there are a few other choices but the food is cafeteria quality. A dessert station no longer has the ice cream selection and the offerings are slim and what they do have is just cheap dried out cupcakes and not much more. A great perk is the ability to order food from your seats and from a different food menu but the low quality food just disappoints and my pizza, fries and chicken fingers were just not good. The staff is still excellent but unfortunately some workers from previous years are no longer there or have been shifted to different sections in the ballpark.

The best part is having servers who will bring your food and drinks. You just order from your phone and it comes out in 15-20 minutes. BE WARNED: if you buy your tickets as resale they DO NOT include parking. Even if it says it does, it does not. I called the ticket office twice before the game and both times was told it would be included but when I got to the game it was not. Im giving three stars due to this and the lack of empathy the staff gave me once it was found that they gave me wrong information. No guest recovery. I would not pay over $250 a ticket for this experience. We were in FL5 row FF, awesome seats if you are a fan of the visiting team.

No one called. I called them back on Saturday again, they said someone will call you back. This time someone did ( I think her name was Izzy?) and she told me she was going to text me her number as soon as we got off the phone so that I could text her when I was coming in on Sunday.. She said she would be there from 8 AM on. She never texted me. I arrived at the gym at 8 AM to be told that she wasn't there yet and she would be i arriving in about 30 minutes and if I wanted to, I could wait for her. Really ridiculous that you have to beg them to join. I will be joining a gym elsewhere.

When I pushed back, I was told they're "not a storage facility." Cool. I wasn't asking you to store it for a year. I was asking you to hold a hat you already confirmed you had while I was traveling internationally. This tells you everything you need to know about how this company operates. They had my contact info. They had the hat. They made a deliberate choice to throw it away rather than make a two-minute phone call.

1-Star Review I…read morewould not recommend joining this club. Everything seems fine until you raise concerns about playing time. My daughter attended nearly every practice throughout the season, yet when I questioned her lack of playing time at tournaments, our concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. More troubling was the behavior of her coach. On multiple occasions, players were called derogatory names, and it was not uncommon to see athletes leave practices or tournaments in tears. Several parents documented concerns regarding the coach's conduct, yet the club continued to support him without meaningful accountability. The club also promised opportunities for players to share their concerns through individual meetings, but those meetings never took place. When I expressed that my daughter was not comfortable meeting alone with her coach lmy concerns were repeatedly ignored and no alternative solution was offered. After ultimately leaving the club, I requested a refund for the final month since my daughter was no longer participating. The club refused and has remained unwilling to work toward a reasonable resolution. Based on our experience, I would encourage families to carefully consider their options before committing to this club. There are other organizations that place a greater emphasis on player development, communication, and accountability, and who do not value their monthly fee more than their players well being.

We are extremely disappointed with our experience at this club. From the start, there were red…read moreflags we ignored, hoping things would improve. However, the behavior of the Pompano Beach club director, @ChrisKushay, and the 14U Elite coach, @BrookeSalvato, was unacceptable, leading us to leave. What was sold as organization turned out to be stifling micromanagement, hindering growth and individuality. The lack of respect and communication from both was shocking. They purposely avoid acknowledging parents, especially during tournaments. This dismissive attitude toward parents, who are crucial to their children's development, was a major concern. It felt like they viewed parents as obstacles rather than partners. After the second tournament, we requested a meeting to address their interaction with our daughter. We asked that they treat her with respect, and address her as the intelligent young lady she is. Instead of being receptive, they were combative and defensive, trying to spin our concerns into stereotypical issues. This was unprofessional and frustrating. We joined this club under the promise of top-tier tournaments, fast-tempo play, and high-level training. Instead, we attended lower-level tournaments and played a slow-paced game--completely contrary to what was promised. Our daughter, who has played at an open level for years, needed a high-level environment to grow. Instead, she was made to feel "not good enough" despite her experience and dominant performance. When we raised this, they defended their position, claiming the girls needed to "submit" to their style. This lack of flexibility was counterproductive. The situation worsened at the next tournament. The coach disagreed with a serving approach my daughter made and, instead of discussing it, the coach jumped to the conclusion it was because her "dad was coaching her from the stands." This excessive reaction fueled by their dislike of the meeting held, led to threats of benching her rather than an open conversation. There could have been several valid reasons for her decision to adjust her approach, for example: the opponent team adjusted their defense (high volleyball IQ), or a sore shoulder after an intense previous day (wellness), she was instead reprimanded without understanding. The final straw was when the director aggressively intersected us on our way out after we already informed them we were leaving after the game, and confronted us, stomping and yelling in front of everyone, making insulting insinuations intended to provoke and, once again, spin the situation. We hope other parents trust their instincts and take note of this experience. This coach and director demand a trust they haven't earned. Their dynamic is toxic and prioritizes their ego over athletes' growth. Even though there are great individuals who truly care about the development and well-being of their athletes within the organization, and are a credit to the club, the absence of rationale exhibited by @ChrisKushay and @BrookeSalvato undermines their efforts and creates a divisive, unhealthy environment. If you're considering this club, proceed with caution. Trust your instincts and prioritize your child's well-being over everything.
