You'll get so much cardio out of just a 45 min workout. If you want to get into the best shape of your life, just try it and you'll be hooked. Squash zone is the only club I know that has an official after school squash program in this area. It picks up students from school, provides squash lessons and tutoring to kids from the local school districts. During the school year, you'll see young kids playing squash or doing homework in a dedicated classroom. The club founders and member dues cover all the fees so that kids get to play and learn free of charge. There just aren't many gyms around that does this! I always come out feeling good after a long workout. But it really feels even better knowing that my bit of monthly due goes towards giving kids opportunities that they wouldn't otherwise have. All the coaches and staff there are world class - literally, they are current and ex world ranked players. Richard Elliot, one of the founders of the club, has been a legendary player and coach in the Bay Area for a couple of decades. I have two sons who play at squash zone a few times a week. They love it there. All the coaches have been awesome teachers of the sport, but also great role models in so many other ways. We are so blessed to have this club around. Last and not least - squash zone is clean and well maintained. It has a locker room, shower, and towels. It has a big stretching area with free weights, TRX, and a few cardio machines (peloton is included and it is sweeet). It has a lounge area with a big TV. Sometimes a bunch of us would gather to watch big basketball or soccer games. It's right off of 101 and it has its own parking lot. They also have great events throughout the year - tournaments, exhibition matches, clinics. I can't say enough good things about it. I highly recommend that you give it a try!

UPDATED REVIEW: After a month of coming here, I can say that…read morethe weight room is dangerous. Let me elaborate: the weights are not racked in order; there's heavier weights on the top shelf and all the dumbbells are scattered miscellaneously. I've p racked BOTH weight racks three times now and truly it's disappointing to have the community not re rack it correctly. The first time I re racked it was because I noticed a child, elementary school I'm assuming, was trying to grab the 40lb on the TOP rack. ... yes ofc I brought this up to the front desk and even prefaced it with this case. No, I didn't want to be THAT person who pointed it out but it really is dangerous. They responded saying they'll keep an eye for it but can't help it bc members are the ones who mess it up. &that they'll ask the director to put up a sign...we'll see if that happens or not.. To the teenagers who were throwing and kicking the weights, please don't. It was such a scary Thursday since I was pretty close to them. Even though there are signs with phone courtesy etiquette, it's still ignored by grown men who blast their music. Overall, avoid the weight room. If it wasn't for the monthly price and proximity I would not come.

Our family of four joined Ladera Oaks 11 years ago. Our son and daughter started with swim lessons…read moreat a very early age and each rolled smoothly into the PSA (Peninsula Swim Association) spring and summer swim program which includes relaxed swim meets between other swim clubs in the area plus a relay meet and championship meet in late July. My son progressed further into the USA swim program which includes year round swim practices and more competitive meets around the Bay Area. This has enabled him to quickly integrate and do well on his high school swim team. He has learned valuable life lessons from swimming and has built great relationships with his coaches as well as friendships across several school districts. My wife joined the Masters swim program shortly after we became members. It has become a long lasting exercise routine with friendships which will last forever. We often bring visiting summer guests to the club to escape the heat and relax in front of the pool. The two pools at Ladera provide a clear advantage over other clubs since the lower pool is all about recreation and fun while the upper pool can be dedicated to more serious swimmers except on the occasional weekend time slots when they open the 3 meter diving board for fun and games off of the high dive. We frequently take advantage of the cafe or bring lunch in a cooler or have dinner around the BBQ. I routinely use the exercise room while my children are at swim practice or at a swim team social event. It has a sufficient collection of weight lifting and cardio equipment. We have not taken advantage of the tennis side of the club. I have many memories playing with my kids in the lower pool as they became more proficient and confident swimmers and divers. Now the joy is watching them win an event or relay in a swim meet. I am sure that these memories will last a lifetime in each of us.

We've also had our kids in the tennis program and they've done well. For us older folks (parents), we've been part of everything from the Masters swim program to twilight tennis and fitness classes. The pool, tennis, and fitness facilities are very good, though the locker rooms are small and very tired. This is getting fixed right now with a major renovation focused on the main building and locker rooms, plus an expansion of the fitness center. We were introduced to the club by neighbors across the street, who had joined when their kids were young (they are now 40+) and we can see why they have stayed members all these years. This club is more of a community and family spot than most - which is obvious especially in the summer with all the families poolside during the day. If you've got young kids, and like being involved with them, this is a great spot to get them into swimming and tennis. If you want a place where you drop your kids off at the daycare and work out, it's not for you. Lastly, here's a quick rundown of the facilities: - 25yd waveless deep lap pool (for adults) - 25yd shallower pool (for kids) with diving L and alcoves for toddlers that are 1' deep - 6 lit tennis courts with ball machines, pro shop, and tennis lounge - Fitness center with 8-10 cardio machines, free weights, and resistance equipment - Fitness classes and personal trainers available

Have you been to the Warriors/Valkyries facility? If you have, this is the same technology. Meaning…read morethis is the same stuff the pros use. Awesome to have a shooting facility with advanced interactive technology on the peninsula. A bonus is the dribbling and passing stations that are onsite as well. I brought my sons in for a trial session. They've been open for 3 weeks. Everything looks new and good condition, so hopefully regular cleaning and maintenance will keep it that way. The space itself isn't too big. So it can feel cramped especially in the walkway behind the ball handling stations (and especially when more people are in the facility). There are currently 5 shooting courts set up, 4 of which are limited in space allowing for shots from the middle and high wings. And there are 5 ball handling stations. There is one section in the front which is currently just open space and storage though there is a hoop and shooting machine to set up another shooting stations. After speaking to the owner, this area is going to be training area where they'll lay down turf and set up various machines. This will be a nice added touch to help the overall hooper. One downfall is we noticed a dead spot in the flooring of ball handling court #2. Another thing that's legit they have classes set up. Don't know how good the classes are but having them is a step in the right direction. With more patrons joining, hopefully availability and access doesn't get flooded. Just have to find that right balance but only time will tell. For now, let's give it the benefit of the doubt. Staff brings good vibes and energy. They are present observing, assisting, guiding and even cheering on players. Congrats on your opening.

It's free for Oracle employees, but memberships are hard to get. An Oracle employee can sponsor you for one, but the wait list is about 4 months. Fees are 40$ per month for external member, we'll worth the facilities. Most of the staff is helpful, but one of them is rude, you can ignore her and it's a minor inconvenience.

We also dropped an email to no avail. Then we booked another window and paid again. We asked for rescheduling the first window which we had paid for and called for. Instead she tells us that we need to call at least one hour in advance to get a refund. When we told her we'd called and no one had picked our call, then she said she only comes to office at 3.45 pm. Well then how are we supposed to reach out 1 hr in advance if there is no one to pick up call at 3? Mind you, we weren't even asking for a refund. Just for a reschedule at any convenient to THEM. We were ready to come at any hour of the day any of the following days, but we got neither a refund nor a callback nor a reschedule. Only rude talks. Needless to say, they lost a regular customer.
