    I have been coming here since 2014. If you are a student, you get access to so much here at the…read moreAnteater Rec Center (ARC): rock climbing wall, three full basketball courts, two fitness areas with free weights and machines, a dance studio, indoor running platform, mat space with punching bags (for wrestlers, grapplers, martial artists, etc.), and a perfectly warm outdoor pool. The great thing is that the ARC opens up at 6 am during normal hours, so you can get your work out in super early. It also closes pretty late, for those who like a work out at night. If you are a student at the ARC, I highly recommend trying the group fitness classes or the martial arts classes. Exercise regimen are just easier to maintain with a group, especially if you are just starting. Traditional Jiujitsu is taught by Ray, who is super chill and teaches you the fundamentals of self-defense. The Brazilian Jiujitsu class is taught by Harrison and Cheri, who are both upper belts under blackbelts Coach AJ / Coach Alex who teach at Valhalla Jiujitsu. They are extremely knowledgable, friendly, and know how to motivate a class and keep it fun.

    The 4 stars are for the great staff! The staff is always kind and respectful. Also the student…read moreworkers that are there are very knowledgeable about the gym itself. Briana was so kind in taking the time to explain how certain equipment and machines work. She was very patient and helpful to me. The front desk staff are always kind and helpful. It can get busy here at times. Pool is pretty busy on weekends that are sunny. My only complaint is that the lockers are a bit outdated and main lockers can use a bit more tLC.

    lol my old review ~2yr ago: "Just wish it had a bunch of pickleball courts". Ask and ye shall…read morereceive! Last Tues was their ribbon-cutting ceremony inaugurating 8 brand-new public pickleball courts in Irvine. + Tall fences to minimize ball-on interferences. + Many tables and benches to sit around. + Many clean restrooms 1-3mins walk away. + Enough baseline room for retrieving lobs. . Okay sideline room for ATPs. . Wide skill range there, from novices to high-intermediate players. - LONG wait. Since the first day, crowds rushed in to line up for open play. The rack is already full with 30+ paddles. + During middle of the day (lunchtime), it's empty. . Only one rack queue for all 4 (or 8) open-play courts. - Starting yesterday (Fri 2/6/26) the other 4 courts became reservation crts. -- On the first day, it was chaotic. My paddle was first in line. A game ended and someone called next 4 and gave me my paddle. I turned to hop on an open court, but no court was open. I turned back and the queue had already shifted along, so there was no spot at the front for me to put my paddle back. I asked around. One person said he was in the same situation, then he grabbed an open 4-paddle holder to put his paddle back in front of the line. I tried to put mine in, but he kept blocking me out to let his folks put theirs in. I was dumbfounded, disgruntled, distraught. No one cared to help my situation. An Irvine city employee walked by, and I explained my situation to him. He couldn't offer much help. After a few min, I accepted my miserable situation and put my paddle back in the end of the line. I only got to play 1 game that day. - The city employees should've known better. Keep 1 or 2 members monitoring the hectic paddle queue to ensure no one gets cut in line. . Moral of the day: before removing your paddle from the front of the line to hop on the next court, make sure you know which court # you're going to, make sure the ppl there are leaving, make sure the other 3 ppl in your group of 4 are going with you. . Idea: If you do wind up in my situation, and you've already lost your place in line, one thing you can try is grab an empty 4-paddle holder, squeeze it in to the front of the line, and put your paddle in. Offer any 3 random ppl (who are already near the front of the line) to join your 1st-place paddle holder. If people object, explain your sad situation first. If they remain adamant, I guess the mission's a no-go, then you'll end up having to return your paddle to the end of the line. I'm only just thinking of this idea now. Didn't get to try it while I was caught up in the moment. Hope the same thing doesn't happen to you.

    Coach Nav is the only swim coach I trust. He has been absolutely amazing with both of my boys. I…read moreknew from the start that I couldn't be the one to teach them and I'm so glad we found him. What really stood out to me is how patient and calm he is with kids who aren't naturally comfortable in the water. My boys had their fair share of tears and hesitation in the beginning, but Coach Nav never pushed too hard or got frustrated. Instead, he knew exactly how to encourage them, build trust, and make them feel safe. As someone whose career involved working with children, I value this even more. Coach Nav's ability to connect with my boys, read their emotions, and still keep them moving forward was so impressive. His rapport with them made all the difference. Now both of my boys are not only swimming, but they're confident and happy in the water. It's honestly night and day from where they started. Coach Nav has that rare balance of discipline, kindness, and experience that kids respond to right away. If you're in Irvine, specifically the Great Park area, and want your kids to learn how to swim the right way - with patience, safety, and confidence - Coach Nav is hands down the best choice. He's the only coach I recommend.

From my very first message to wrapping up my 4 year old son's first swim sessions, he's been amazing--always quick to respond and super clear with communication. He's a talented coach and has such a great way with kids. My son absolutely loves learning from him, and we've already signed up for more lessons this fall. We also highly recommend Coach B--he's fantastic with the little ones!
