The process was very easy. The pool is clean and it gest lil crowded sometimes, but the intructor (Ivan) makes the experience very enjoyable. He makes sure all students are on the same page and actually goes student by student to check if they are learning properly. Was surprised to see he teaches inside of the water. I remember trying to take a swimming class in college and the instructor never got in the water to show the students how its done and we were all always lost and barely learned anything. Overall an amazing experience, I am so happy I found this gem on groupon. Every week he teaches a new technique and we get to practice what we learned already so we don't forget. Would definitely recommend to anyone that has struggled with swimming as an adult like I have. I can finally breathe while swimming!

In the 6 months that my nearly 12-year-old twin daughters have been swimming at Safe Splash, they have developed near-perfect technique and an even greater love of swimming. All the coaches are professional, experienced and warm. My daughters started in group lessons and then moved to a swim-team training program. They swim twice a week and they are always ready to hop in the car and head off to class. This is a real credit to the coaches and the management team. I wish I had known about this school when my girls first started swimming 7 years ago.

The swimming pool is very large and has plenty of lifeguards however the locker room/bathroom situations is quite a big problem mainly in the showers since there is little to no hot water some of the time also there are broken movable shower heads in both family locker rooms and the floor itself looks festered with disease it left a bad taste in my mouth. Besides that issue the community center has good heating and air conditioning and very friendly staff and good wifi as well.

I cancelled my membership at Castle Hill YMCA within days of joining because the staff here are…read moreflat-out rude and unprofessional. They spoke down to my children on multiple occasions, thinking the kids wouldn't tell me. I personally witnessed them being especially nasty toward Black children while sitting around gossiping and judging members like immature teenagers. To make it worse, some staff hid behind Spanish, assuming no one could understand their anti-Black comments. That is not just unprofessional, it's discriminatory and unacceptable. This is supposed to be a family-friendly, welcoming space--but instead, the staff create a hostile and toxic environment. If they keep treating people this way, they're going to end up with serious legal problems. I would never recommend this YMCA to anyone. And now, after I left a negative review, they've decided to try to paint my children as "troublemakers." This is nothing more than a weak attempt at damage control by staff who don't want to take responsibility for their own rude and discriminatory behavior. I also have never seen the pool being cleaned. Not another dime from me.

My favorite time here is definitely the sauna, after a hard workout. 9 out of 10 times I've used it, it's always empty. And who could beat that view from the gym?! If you wanna get a good stretch in, or have your own yoga practice, there's a great, spacious studio just opposite the gym.You can access this area from the main door or the side (by the treadmills) . This room is filled with mats and other accessories you might need. Go in on leg day? They have an elevator that can take you up or down, should you need it.

Took a weekday afternoon tour recently…read more The front desk lady welcomed me cordially. To which I then asked if it would be possible to tour the gym. Within moments a young gentleman came to assist. During the tour I witnessed clean areas, with what I'd say were diehard gym members maintaining their fitness goals by either pumping iron, running on the treadmills, stretching in the group fitness room or swimming laps in the lap pool. Quite motivating. The young gentleman who gave me the tour walked me up, down several stairs and throughout all accessible areas of the gym. He was thorough and answered all of my questions without being pushy. The Pool area looked really appealing and the Ladies Locker room looked neat and well kept. The one thing lacking for me was a squash/racquetball court. I know this is not a popular take for all, but I think indoor courts could have been considered in the plans as the Waters Place area is a sprawling piece of land which could've easily accommodated at least two courts in the build. Another plus in having indoor courts is the accessibility during the colder months. Also at this stage, a racquetball court could have been converted into at least one Pickleball Court...definitely a missed opportunity. In my opinion, Owners/Contractors fail to realize that Bronxites are avid racquet sports players too. Imagine getting a great indoor court workout, and then an option to take a few laps in the pool, conveniently located within your area instead of having to trek across the bridge to another LA Fitness that has this amenity. When joining a gym you'd want these conveniences factored in to encourage you to visit as often as possible. Unsure of their membership fees, but at a glance a nice looking gym. Outdoor parking was available during the time I visited. And an indoor garage is also available. 3.5 Stars

It is extremely difficult to find an affordable gym with a swimming pool. During the summer I could…read moreget away with the NYC Parks free lap swim program but during the rest of the year I have to find a real gym that does not hurt your wallet (or require you to sell your organs on ebay). The Bronx House solves that problem for me. I am a big fan of the variety of fitness class offerings and indoor cycling is the most popular (the class fills up right after the previous ab class). Cherelle, who leads this class on Tuesdays, is a great trainer and puts the hurt locker on while making exercise on a stationary bike "fun". The pool is 25 yards and way shorter than an olympic size pool (50 meters). Size matters, eh? During lap swim hours, the pool is divided into two lanes: slow and slower. For those who need a good workout, be prepared to swim around your neighbors. During the summer, test your patience with all of the visitors with day passes. The gym and pool hours are limited and designated for classes and gender/age groups. If the location works for you and you can accept the limited schedules, join the Bronx House. The gym, with the TRX equipment alone is superior to most of the $20 gyms in the area. Make sure to review the calendar for holiday and maintenance closings. I have made the mistake of showing up on a holiday and doing the sad Charlie Brown walk of shame home. IFHTP 3+
