Uh, yeah - free babysitting (up to 75 mins a day), and multiple family-based programs including activity nights, camps, and athletic class for the squirts. "Employees making sure you sign up for treadmills." I appreciate the 30 minute limit for high volume days, and the ability to sign up for a time block. Plus, their equipment is ultra-modern. I was doing sudoku, before running a simulated trail, and watching 20 clear channels of cable. Oh, and it's got Netflix! "Overly crowded!" Emilson charges $115 for a family membership - that's up to five people in a single household. They've got indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna and a steam room, a spin studio, basketball and volleyball drop-ins, free group exercise programs, FREE BABYSITTING, a decent snack bar, a friggin' Sky Trail (think a four-story vertical obstacle course on a track), and more. These sort of amenities make for a huge draw, and subsequently, peak hour crowds. "Someone was putting mascara on in the bathroom." What can I say? Saturdays get crazy for me. It's no Equinox in amenities or exclusivity, but it's near perfect for us.

We enrolled our child in the beginner swim class in 2021. The particular instructor's methods are not only brutal but unnecessary, if not entirely counter-productive. Our child, who loved the water and had basic swimming competency prior to beginning ended up extremely fearful of the water and we spent the last year trying to undue the damage caused by SR&F. We know we are not alone as all of the other families pulled their kids from the class before we did due to the harsh and counter-productive training methodology. Worse yet, when we spoke with management to explain the issue with the instructor, they appeared to not only already know of the issues but to back the instructor. Save your time, energy and money and go elsewhere where your kids can actually learn how to swim in a safe and supportive environment.

So glad that I joined SRF!

You have to make a reservation ahead of time, which helps limit the number of people. A couple things that I wish I had known ahead of time: there are a few benches by the pool, but no pool chairs.

I'm a disabled veteran and have certain accommodations that I'm learning how to ask for. I was worried it wasn't for me. But they reassured me I belong there and can benefit greatly. Taking the time to listen to someone is rare these days. But it's the difference between someone being just a data point vs a person for a company. Exceptional customer service is an art form. The best make it look effortless. They made a difficult situation disappear over a simple conversation. Kudos!
