We've come here many times that should have been considered jam packed, but although it's sometimes busy, it's never THAT packed. The real bonus here (especially for somebody who's skin color is somewhere between gingery and clear) is that although it's an outdoor pool, there is a ton of shade! That's a big deal since I usually get burned at the mere mention of sunlight. Take the kids and have a great time. The location is great for me. Check the map. Maybe it's great for you too.

The facility is massive -- it almost feels like a mall. There's a cafe, indoor pool, plenty of fitness areas, and spacious locker rooms. Everything felt very clean here which is a plus. The Sunday 10:45am vinyasa class was advertised as "medium heat" but it barely felt heated. The instructor wasn't my favorite and the flow felt clunky and disorganized. Her queueing wasn't very clear and if I were a newbie yogi, I'd be pretty confused. Most of the class was spent in child's pose or savasana and I would've preferred more time to flow and play. The studio itself is fairly small for the size of the rest of the gym. As a guest recently, I had to download the app in order to get my guest pass which was pretty annoying. I've never seen another gym do that and didn't appreciate the extra hoops to jump through. Overall, if this gym was closer and less expensive I'd consider it but for now, I appreciate the chance to be a guest here.

I went to this gym from 2023 - 2025 and finally canceled my membership in December. The staff are…read moreincredibly nice, honestly they are the best. But the crazy expensive cost is not worth it. It feels like all the money goes to extras like the sitting areas, pickleball courts, classes that cost additional money, etc. The only gym area is the second floor, and even that is taken up by classes. Machines are often broken and dirty, kids are CONSTANTLY running around unsupervised and playing on the equipment, and the gym etiquette has taken a severe hit. You see people filming, reading up multiple machines, sitting for an hour while scrolling, and not putting things back. I had to change my workout so many times because the free weights were missing entire bands of weights. Again, the staff is incredibly kind and nice. But the gym does not deserve the almost $200 a month price point. I would pay $40.

The staff and the managers are all welcoming and super friendly. We signed our little girls up (5 y/o & 7 y/o) for 1 on 1 swimming lessons and we are 100% happy with what we paid for. The girls loved the lessons with their swim instructors. Each girl progressed in their learning dramatically, and with obvious enthusiasm, with each lesson. The instructors have increased their confidence, their independence, and safety skills in the water. We need to specifically compliment Daniela, Ellie, and Olivia (swim instructors in summer 2025) for their hard work, professionalism, willingness to teach, patience, positive attitudes, and customer service. They are awesome instructors & team members. Sign your kids up for lessons with any of the instructors. Visit the pool. You'll love the experience.
