A friend and I were invited to an event at this private club, and it was a wonderful experience…read more Established in 1885, this is one of those places you either know about or you don't a hidden gem in downtown Rochester. Seriously I e driven past many times and never went in. The grounds are truly special, with magnificent mature trees and a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city, despite its urban location. The clubhouse itself is elegant and inviting, featuring soft colors and beautiful spaces that can accommodate a variety of events. Like most private clubs, hosting an event here would likely require sponsorship from a member. The venue offers ample space for weddings, luncheons, celebrations, and other gatherings. There are lovely outdoor areas, as well as an outdoor pool and, I believe, tennis and pickleball courts. The staff was professional, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. The food was delicious and well prepared. Another plus is the convenient on-site parking. Overall, this is a beautiful and unique venue that offers a tranquil setting for special events and gatherings.

My wife and I joined the Valley Club recently to expand our social network and also for our small…read morechildren to participate in more activities. So far we like what the club has to offer. Our 3 year old has picked up some tennis lessons and we have attended a few brunches (Santa) and happy hours. I foresee us using the Club to entertain out-of-towners and for dinner on special occasions. I will all try to pick up paddle or pickleball at some point. I imagine it's also a good place to network for business (not for me) and to meet people you wouldn't necessarily meet in your existing network.

The groups can be mixed - older and younger players, but I have yet to have anyone complain about the experience. They recently added axe throwing - I can't wait to try it! The food is prepared to order - pizzas, chicken fingers, wings and they have a full bar as well. We have been on quiet days and busy days, but always felt safe and had a great time!

Casually writing a review while I'm on the elliptical here. I would say that the RIT fitness center…read moreis the best gym around Rochester. Yes, I might seem biased since I'm a student here, but I think many outsiders agree too. The fitness center is set up on two floors. The first floor is mainly for lifting. There are plenty of free weights and different machines. The second floor has two levels. The first level of the second floor has an open floor area with mats, different machines, and a jungle gym looking structure with different bars and ropes. The second level of the second floor has a ton of cardio equipment and TVs. Beyond the cardio area is a smaller free weights area and plenty of other machines. This fitness center pretty much has every type of machine you can think of. Besides the gym, there are a ton of courts for all types of sports, tracks, and two different pools. One pool is a large one used for swimming and diving while the other pool is more for recreational use that includes a lazy river and a large capacity hot tub! The fitness center is well kept and usually isn't too crowded, depending on when you go. There's only a few things I dislike about this place. First of all, there is no steam room!!! I absolutely love using a steam room after working out and I am surprised they don't have one here (but they do have a sauna). Sometimes it can be impossible to find a parking space when RIT is hosting sports events for other schools in the field house. Lastly (this is tailored toward all my fellow students that use the gym), that awkward moment when you see your professors naked in the locker room haha!

I was very disappointed the way Bryan Gonzales decided to just say no to my 10 year old artistic…read moreson all because we did not have the joining fee and it just broke my soul and all this time my son was so happy to go we went on the bus and happy but I guess the YMCA is not really for the kids just for the money. Also can we all agree that all it takes is to have a little bit of empathy for our future kids but it's all about the the green and not the kids. Also I do have to say that the facility is awesome but why have a excellent facility of the staff has no empathy for the youth. What Bryan needs to know is that I fought for his democracy and this is the thanks America gives there veterans. Thank you alot Bryan Gonzalez and thanks from my artistic son...

Cool place for adults to hangout. I came here for a private event on Wednesday night. Parking was…read moreeasy as they have a big lot for parking. The place has nice modern decor with a bar in the middle. For bowling, they only do reserve a lane, not buying game, so I think it suitable for big group, not 1 or 2 people. They have few game machine (maybe 5-6 games). Other games area was closed on that night so I couldn't play. Food is so so for their price. Their drink was good. Staffs were friendly. Overall for their price, I think once in a while going here as a group is okay.

If you're a parent, I don't have to explain the concern, frustration and worry that comes along with this. Needless to say this was SO not what we expected from the YMCA. We will not be back. Be careful who you decide to leave your children with.
