BEST SPORTS EXPERIENCE FOR CHILDREN!!!…read more My 4th child takes tennis lessons at Fred Wells. All of my children have played many different sports through may different groups, but Fred Wells is by far the best experience. Smiles and fun galore, and yet they are still learning and competing. In a day of dysfunctional youth sports programs, Fred Wells tennis lessons somehow figured out how to do it correctly! Thank you Fred Wells, and I hope others learn from your example.

TWIN CITY TENNIS CAMPS IS A SCAM!!! Last summer, I paid Twin Cities Tennis Camps for a week of…read moretennis camp for my daughter. We showed up and there was nobody at the courts. I called Danny Nabedrick, and he gave me the runaround and said the camps were cancelled. He never even bothered to tell families the camps were cancelled and would not issue a refund. I continued to call, text, and email him. Crickets. Eventually, I had to dispute the charge with my credit card. Twin Cities Tennis somehow lied in their response, and the dispute didn't go through. At that point, I assumed they were bankrupt or out of business and just moved on. Fast forward to this week... They're texting me about signing up for this year's camp, as if nothing happened. I looked up the camps, and some of them are being held at schools that don't even have tennis courts.

Mostly at the haircuts. As I mentioned in my previous review, I'm the biggest fan of tennis. I love it more than all sports combined. I've played in a summer WTT league here forever, but I've been playing at Baseline even more the last couple of years with USTA leagues year-round. The courts are in really good shape so I'm happy hitting here. There are changing rooms downstairs, and bleachers for my adoring fans both indoors and outdoors. They will re-string your racquet at the front desk and sell you balls if you forgot them. There's still some room for improvement and I outlined most of those things in my old review. Parking is easy ($4 at the lot in the back, which is usually empty), but it's a mess when there is a hockey game. My choices last Friday night were to wait in a 20 minute line of cars to pay $10 (and miss my court-time) or run five freezing blocks while wearing a tennis skirt. I couldn't feel my legs. Lesson learned... for this and many other reasons, beware of campus on Friday evenings.

This club is an interesting one. I played a USTA match here on Friday and it seems like it's a…read moremembers-only thing (one of the players on the other team was a member). But also kind of a co-op? I feel like an outsider in the world of private tennis clubs... I'm not really sure how it works exactly. It's different in that the guy who was a member had keys and access to the courts anytime. Payment is on an honor system since there was no one at the front desk to kick you off the courts right when you're time is up. I can't find any information online to confirm this since they don't have a website, but that's my impression as a first-timer. There are five courts and they are all in great shape, even though the building, lobby and facilities are very dated. The lobby has some seating, refreshments and whatnot. No-frills and it is very, very hot on the courts. If I lived closer, I might consider looking into a membership here for the wintertime. All-access is pretty awesome.

There are some rare members that, for various reasons, have the privilege of having keys to the club, which is what Annie D. noticed in her 6/25/12 review. This is the oldest indoor tennis club in the twin cities, so you have to be a little understanding that the facility, by modern standards, is fairly basic. I practically grew up on these courts decades ago, so it will always have a place in my heart. This club is about value. It is very inexpensive, both in terms of the annual membership fee, as well as the hourly court fees. The courts have some very slight dead spots here and there (a lot of people don't even know about them), and, depending on the weather conditions, a couple times per year there is condensation that will drip from the ceiling and form small puddles that need to be wiped here and there. Those are facts. Given its age, the place is in pretty good shape. It's not Lifetime Fitness, but the members are pretty happy, and there is a long wait list to join.

I'll be honest. I did not know this tennis center existed until yesterday…read more This is a satellite Lifetime outpost with tennis and some pared down fitness facilities. It's in the middle of a residential neighborhood and completely tucked away so that you'd never really know it was here unless Google Maps told you. The building doesn't look like much, but the facilities seem updated and everything was very nice. The check-in was easy, prices comparable to other Lifetime locations and the courts were in perfect condition. The court lines looked like they had just been painted the day before. Best part? Parking is easy (unlike the nightmare of EVERY other Lifetime location). I don't know that I'll be back here regularly since I usually play outside or at Baseline, but it's good to know this place exists as an alternative to the indoor courts at the SLP Lifetime (where the aforementioned parking is extra nightmarish). It's only about five minutes further away from Minneapolis, but well worth the effort.

I initially became a Lifetime member at the Highland Park location due to proximity of my home,…read morehowever, I seldom used it because it (like many have noted) was a nightmare to find parking and sort of a rat race to find a machine if I wanted to maintain routine. After finding the Okadale Village location I upgraded my membership to Diamond simply to use the small, paired down (as noted), equipment room due to it being mere steps from my office. The Good: *Overall the facility is nice and updated and clean *Frequented primarily by those playing tennis thus leaving the equipment room wide open most of the time *Sauna is great- I've never had to share it *The products on site make it easy to shower and go to any event without running home. They have everything I need. *Parking is a breeze *Tennis courts, although I don't use them, seem well staffed and clean The Not-so Good: *Could not find anyone to answer simple technique questions on equipment which I really needed (mild back issue)- this is a serious draw back, and why I'm not sure I'll be a member again (love the location though).Tennis is their specialty. *Saturday hours are a bit shorter, but no major complaints This is a fantastic facility; just wish they offered a little bit more to justify the upgrade in membership for a non-tennis player. Would highly recommend this location, especially if you already have a set routine and just need a very clean, no hassle location to do so.

The facility is in great shape, moderately heated, and dividers between the courts to minimize stray balls.
