Amazing swim school. I've swam off and on for years, just freestyle, with long gaps in between. I…read moredecided to take it more seriously a few years ago. I can swim all 4 competitive strokes now (butterfly is still challenging and needs work) and working on flip turns which I can land but haven't perfected just yet. I've had wonderful instructors and the administrators have been excellent with rescheduling. Give them a try. You won't regret it. Very fair prices and probably the best in the city and I've been to other swim schools in the area.

I took his "treading water" clinic and in 10 minutes, I was treading water effortlessly; something I've struggled doing for years and even after taking numerous lessons with private instructors (not affiliated with SwimBox). He's taught for 22+ years! and it shows. He simply knows how to coach all the minute details in swimming mechanics. I've always 'm someone with a high muscle to fat ratio and have ALWAYS sank like a rock. He taught me 3 styles to use my hands to tread and 4 styles using my feet. He demonstrated things in the water (such as corkscrews) that I've never seen/heard of before. He's very friendly and personable as well. I've taken the swim analysis and it was super helpful/beneficial. Looking forward to signing up for more classes! Highly recommend!

Pertinent positives: the facility is generally clean and well kept, and I like the bathrooms and ample changing spaces. Negatives: I feel like this place is kind of run like a summer camp. I don't really see any management around or doing anything. And they don't really abide by basic rules. I complained about babies not wearing swim diapers and I continue to see the same kid not wearing a swim diaper six times in a row. It's really basic they could just ask a parent. Does your kid have a swim diaper on? They could even ask every baby's parent this. The other issue I have is the lack of consistency with teachers. I don't think we saw the same teacher twice. And every time they ask me the same question: how old is your son? Maybe he should be moved up to the other class? And then six lessons in and I feel like we're still at square one so honestly, I don't feel like it's worth the amount you have to pay to get consistency and progress.

We sang songs, did stations, and finished with group time. It was just enough time to tire out my little guy. The instructor was great and was super helpful with making me and my baby feel comfortable. I loved learning new techniques to play with my baby when we go to the pool!

The facilities are…read moregreat, I love how warm the kids pool is compared to the Long Bridge Aquatic center - me and toddler were shivering in the Long Bridge pool. The instructors for the APS swim classes really hit or miss compared to the county classes. We loved the first lady instructor, she always started classes on time and ended on time, knew what she wanted to do in the class, and had her songs with swimming movements ready. Last 2 sessions were with a gentleman instructor (who says he's been teaching swimming at APS for 15+ years) as the main instructor and recently he's been training this other lady and it's been so bad: 1. classes don't start on time half the time (one time started going around checking the kids in at the time class was supposed to start and that took 10 minutes, another time it's already time to start the class but instructor was standing around chatting for 5 minutes) and sometimes runs out of things to do class ended 5 min early 2. runs out of things to do in the class or don't know what songs to sing as we practice swimming movements and they start singing random songs or ask all the parents what song would you like to sing !!?? Could you do a little bit of prep beforehand or bring a cheatsheet into the pool so you know what to do next. Maybe it's the toddler class that's bad because kids are young... won't be doing the toddler class again here unless we get the first instructor back. Will wait for the class for older kids or go to county classes.

The Aqua tots class has made her feel comfortable about the pool and helped her submerge into the water naturally. I highly recommend Coach Kya. She took the time to explain the steps and what the parent needs to do in each move in order for the child to complete the desired action. We had other coaches before her and we found ourselves confused and we just followed what other parents were doing in each move. Coach Kya was the first one to tell us we were doing it wrong and patiently guided us to execute the steps correctly. The facility is new and clean. There are changing rooms, family restrooms with showers. They also have lollipops and stickers at the front desk for the students which is a nice touch. They are tech friendly, you can download the app and schedule make up classes easily. They also track the students' progress in the app, including the moves they learnt each class and the coach's feedback on when the student can move to the next level. Price is comparable to other big swimming chains such as Goldfish, Big Blue. Class ratio is 1:4 but if you get lucky, you can get 1:1 when other students cancel the group class. Will recommend!

I was visiting a relative in town and was just looking for a place to run and work out in that wasn't outdoors in 90+-degree weather. (We Southern Californians are weather wimps.) It was so nice and cool - which is not true of all DC-area gyms. It was also clean and felt very safe for my first indoors post-pandemic workout. Best of all, the people that worked there were super helpful while being low-key. And it wasn't crowded both times I went, with the customers also seeming to be pretty low-key while being focused on their workout. (No grunting loudly every single rep and slamming weights down at the end of the set, which, any pro will tell you, honestly means you need to take the weights down a bit until you can control them.) I just wish I could transport Energy Club to Southern California. But if you live in the area, do yourself a favor and check them out.

If you're new to the area, or just in a physical/social rut from winter doldrums, joining this gym can really shake up the mundane. They offer monthly member socials, parents night out, running clubs, and lots of challenges (boot camp, anyone?) and special sessions (hip opening yoga for runners). Facilities are extremely well maintained. Take a reliably hot shower in the sparkling locker rooms. Forgot a razor? They'll hook you up. Wind down in the sauna. Most of all, it's the team members, led by Joanne, who make this place great. I've had David as a personal trainer, and his calm yet persistent coaching really maximizes the impact of each session. If you love to dance, you gotta try Zumba with Karmina- it's hoppin like a Puerto Rican dance club and I always leave in a great mood. Body pump with Joanne, Cindy, and others is by far the most effective workout for women looking to tone, get lean and stronger. I've been a member since Snowmageddon 2011 and though I try lots of boutique gyms for fun, I'm forever loyal and faithful to the Energy Club. If you give it a try, and try a variety of offerings there, you won't look back.
