    I had the privilege of taking my 8 year old son here for a birthday party as my wife was busy. The first thing is that parking is a nightmare - I used to live at 5th and Poplar, so I know street parking - but there really isn't a convenient location to park and carry presents, a bag, and towels. The place is so over crowded, the place is open to the public and there are multiple parties going on - so figuring out where to go is a little confusing with so many people crowding the area. The staff were friendly and helped get us to where we needed to be. Someone else mentioned it - the indoor park concept is awesome, but a capacity and time limit need to be set - like you can come for 2-hours starting at every hour till full. The locker area is small and felt dirty - I didn't bother trying to shower my kid there and just took him home to hose off. Once getting out to the pool area - the smell will definitely hit you. It's not Chlorine as most people think, but Chloramine - and it burns your eyes. If you don't know what Chloramine is, let me ruin your day and save you a google search: "Chlorine is used at aquatic venues to kill germs, but when it binds to the body waste swimmers bring into pools, it can form chemicals called chloramines." This is nothing against the facility - it means they are treating the water correctly - it's just over crowded and a lot of people are dirty. For example - you aren't supposed to have food/snacks in the pool area - but I watched 4 families pull out a small cooler and eat an amazing variety of brats, chili dogs, chicken, and sandwiches. Flip flops littered the floor randomly, and the air flow is fairly low despite giant fans making a lot of noise. On the away in I planned to go in with my kid, but after the smell and the number of people making it so crowded, I just worried about my kids safety. They have lifeguards - very hardworking ones who were busy the entire time trying to control everything. With the number of people it's easy for them to be busying trying to control a bunch of kids whose parents are not helping enforce instructions/warnings that they don't notice a small kid in an overcrowded area, or a bunch of teenagers throwing a football that kept hitting kids in the back of their heads. The 4-10 year old kids who can't swim well or stand would look scared at times. So I sat and kept a watch on my kid and helped pulled him out once till it was time to go-to a party room upstairs for pizza and cupcakes. He said he had fun, and the park is pretty cool, but I'm guessing that wouldn't have been the case if he wasn't there with 20 other kids he knew. To no surprise, my kid and I were both had COVID a few days later - but that could have happened visiting Lowe's as well. I guess if you get there when it opens and leave before it gets over crowded it would be awesome - but it's not something I find I need to go do again.

    I do not think this place is as bad as some of the reviews suggest . Yes, the chlorine is really strong. Burning your eyes strong however I highly doubt that folks that work day to day have any control or say in that (it's a county building so that's that). & honestly the chemicals are probably needed when dealing with a bunch of kids who probably pee in the water lol . The two women who checked us in were kind and friendly . There was a slight delay to open due to some bad weather . About 30 mins passed and we were let in. It seems like they employ lots of young kids . That's nice to see young people doing something productive. They do yell and blow their whistles at the kids but I mean that is their job for everybody's safety . Overall I enjoyed myself and I would bring my son back .

    Hard working life guards. Staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful. Playground is for 48" and shorter. Great we can use our aquatic pass on this place even if we are from Huntersville.

    Main lobby area when you walk in.

    We visited on a Monday morning, right at opening, and had the facility basically to ourselves! My children (7, 5, and 2) had a blast! Things that stood out: - The facility was very clean and well cared for. The chlorine was not overpowering to me as other people noted. - The staff was friendly and helpful. The life guards were very attentive to their jobs, and occasionally blew their whistle to correct people, but always respectfully. One life guard even let our son borrow some goggles, which was nice! - Family restrooms were helpful since I have a son and daughters. - Swim diapers were available for $2, if you forgot one, like I did. Whoops! - There were complimentary Life vests ranging from infant life vests to large child size. Cons: - couldn't have snacks for kids (but they did say water bottles were okay) - no water fountains that we could see Overall, this place was a steal! $60 for a family of 5 to play for 5 hours. A real gem to this community!

    This was the birthday ever. As a parent, they made my kids birthday so special and I didn't haven't to do much. The deluxe package included everything pizza, juice, cake, and they set up and clean up the party room. They got to swim. Thank you to Richard and Tina so professional and got things done.

    Is there a regular pool for adults to the swim in?

    There isn't much to do for adults, the large pool is only 4ft deep on one side. Both ends have basketball hoops and I'm the middle is a volleyball net. Still could be fun, but overall not really for adults.

    Is this business open?

    Yes

From the moment you step inside, you're transported -- we honestly forgot we were in Charlotte for a minute and felt like we were at a European spa. The steam room with eucalyptus and the thermal soak were my favorite elements -- pure bliss. Everything you need is thoughtfully provided: towels, robes, lockers, water, and hot tea are all complimentary, which makes the experience feel effortless and elevated. Kombucha is also available to purchase, which was a nice touch. When we visited, there were only a few other guests, so it felt quiet, calm, and wonderfully uncrowded. The front desk staff was warm and welcoming and took a few minutes to explain everything when we arrived, which we really appreciated. Such a fantastic addition to Charlotte. Highly recommend if you're looking to truly unwind and reset -- we'll definitely be back!

At first visit, it's more than a wellness experience, it's positioned to provide Charlotte a valuable wellness community and I am absolutely thrilled I snagged a legacy membership back in March. Details, details! Spa sessions are 2 hours here and you rotate through the facilities at your leisure. Men's and Women's locker rooms are available which include a private changing room and a private shower. Guests have access to individual lockers which open with wristbands provided on arrival. The lockers are large enough to store a work tote and shoes. The facilities themselves are impeccably curated from the exposed brick walls upon which the lights from the pools dance (going to be so beautiful at night), textured flooring to prevent slipping, to the gorgeous, elevated lounge furniture. A water station is set up with cups to stay hydrated. Various flavors of kombucha are on tap, which you can enjoy while relaxing in the thermal spa or lounge. Items they plan to introduce - herbal teas, matcha, and an outdoor lounge - which I think will be the perfect spot to read a book in the fall. Charlotte deserves this. That is all -

    I recently moved from Denver, CO and joined Charlotte Athletic Club primarily for the location and…read morewalkability to Uptown. From signup through cancellation, the experience was consistently poor. The signup process was unnecessarily difficult. You cannot sign up online or over the phone and must come in person. I arrived during hours I was told a manager would be present, only to find they had left early, requiring an additional visit to complete enrollment. The gym charges $150 per month per person, with additional costs for lockers, an extra month (extra $150) due on signup, and a facility improvement fee every six months. Despite the price, there is no coat rack or place to store even a jacket. Communication is "you must pay an extra amount for lockers each month" even though lockers are framed as an optional amenity. Charging for lockers in the first place is grubby. Every gym I've attended in the past includes them for free. Pool access is advertised. The pool is actually pool access passes included in membership to the Omni Hotel pool, we were told it was to be opened fall 2025, it has remained closed. This was communicated after signup. The equipment itself is fine, but there is no water bottle refill station, and the water available specifically says "don't fill your water bottle up". It's a gym. Who wants to use a small paper open top cup when working out. Bathrooms are often not clean. If you're coming in in the afternoon for workouts, the gym maintenance and cleaning happens then, so expect some vacuuming and hammering happening most days. But my primary issue is the staff experience relative to the price point. Front desk staff are often disengaged. A trainer instructed us to re rack weights that we didn't use. When we told him they were there before we used the machine he communicated "clean them up anyways". I rack weights when done using them. For $150 a month, if another gym member leaves weights behind, and this is noticed by the staff, I'd expect gym staff to care for the cleanup of other members weights left behind. And especially the first time, just unnecessarily hostile and unfriendly. There are many more similar interactions like this with staff. After I canceled my membership and requested my wife's remain active, a manager approached her requesting credit card information, the implication being "don't forget to pay" in a way that felt inappropriate. This is acceptable at a lower priced gym. Again, it's not what I expect at this price point. This is a premium priced gym with a good location and adequate equipment, but the service level does not match. I'm switching to another gym in the area.

    Curious as to why there's a lack of transparency on the membership rates not posted in the website…read more Instead they want you to fill out a contact form.... And what about advertising "all classes included" however all of these indicate again, the lack of transparency that these class descriptions in RED are not... And it looks like the website is back online.
