This was my first visit to the club. My friend and I took a pickle ball lesson and the instructors Kirsten and Amy were so delightful and very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great workout and so much fun. The club itself is a little outdated bathrooms no hand towels but overall a great experience read more

Such a welcoming environment for all! They have fitness, tennis, pickleball and so much more. My family feels like Western is our home away from home. read more

Back when I played in many junior tennis tournaments not all too long ago, one of the clubs to which I really dreaded going was the Western Tennis & Fitness Club. The main reason why I disliked going there was that it was so far, all the way on the West Side, but it also isn't that nice of a club. I never liked going across the river either to Five Seasons, and I once played all the way out at the Beechmont Racquet Club, but at least when I got there I had the comfort of playing in a nice and newer facility. Another thing that Western Tennis & Fitness lacked was quality lighting on the courts. It's tough to see the ball and almost depressing when you are playing out there with what seemed like hardly any lights. Four years ago, however, the club was taken over by new ownership and one of the first changes they made was replacing the lighting, which now looks much better and seems to have rejuvenated the tennis game and courts a bit. Angela Farley-Wilson, daughter of the owners and winner of seven Cincinnati Met titles, is the Director of Tennis at the Muddy Creek Road racquet club. The club has nine indoor courts and offers lessons, clinics, round robins, leagues and interclub play, and the popular Cardio Tennis. Western Tennis & Fitness also has a small pro shop that offers racquet stringing, there is a snack bar (literally, snacks plus some beer), and of course they have a fitness center with lots of cardio and other Nautilus machines, strength machines, free weights, and group fitness and personal training. The club also has an outdoor pool including a children's pool, sand volleyball, and basketball. Although the new ownership has taken strides to revitalize the club, its West Side location isn't helping things. While it is a good place to play tennis (and swim and work out) if you live in that part of town, it's probably in the best interest of top junior players to head to the East Side where they can play with their best peers and be coached by some of the area's best instructors. The Western Tennis & Fitness Club is more of a place for the locals as the staff seems to know everyone by name, but like its neighborhood it's kind of behind the times and is long removed from its more popular days and all the hustle and bustle, so to speak (or so to write). read more

I would like to review Western Tennis & Fitness as we have been members for 15 years!! Western has been a home away from home for us!! It is the place we work out, play tennis and it has become our family's favorite place to host our Thanksgiving!!! Western has undergone many wonderful changes since we first became members. We have state of the art tennis courts with the best lighting in the city!!! We have a fully equipped fitness facility and offer group fitness classes that have professional instruction and classes that will fit any schedule!!! Western has provided my family with a family-friendly, top notch facility to maintain fitness and health and play a sport, Tennis, that has been a huge part of my family's life!!!! I have been to every tennis club in the city and many outside of Cincinnati and Western by far is the absolute best!!!!! read more

The classes are great! IF YOU CAN GET IN THEM. tThey have a very antiquated system for registration. Want an 8 am class the next day? Get up @ 5 an the dAy before! And call call call! By 5:15 you're either in or on a waiting list' care to spin at 9 am. Call by 7. Oh sorry. Unless your a tennis or personal training paying client. Then you're in like Flynn. They will refute this it's absolutely true! They are s tennis club that's their bread and butter fitness members are last on the list! Literally! read more

WTFC is a great club with good people and a great staff. Family owned by a tennis family that has invested in new lights for the courts that are best in the city. There is also a plenty of fitness programs and a great weight room. Highly recommended! read more

Great place to workout and to play tennis. Welcoming atmosphere. I am a longtime member. Also, Jordan C. - calling our neighborhood "behind the times" sounds very elitist of you. Probably not the place for you as this club welcomes everyone. The club is always improving - whether it is adding new equipment, new classes or hosting events. Lana, a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, helps people at all levels of fitness. Highly recommend. read more

I disagree with the 3 star review from the other reader. I play interclub, and this is not my home club, but I think it's a very good club, despite the location. It's a nice facility, with weight room, nice courts, and nice locker rooms. The only bad thing is the location, but locals won't think it's bad. read more

I joined this club when I moved to the area 11 years ago to play tennis. I honestly couldn't imagine my life without this membership! It has been a super way to meet other like-minded people in the community, get in shape(they have a very impressive fitness/spinning schedule), and be as competitive as I like with my tennis. I have taken many lessons with the pros and I haven't met one that I didn't like so far.My 6 year old son also takes lessons and he enjoys it immensely- the pros have the patience of saints. While we had to really cajole him to play other sports that require lots of equipment and are weather dependent, tennis was easy to get ready for and never canceled!! The front desk staff knows you by name and they care how you and your family are doing. The owners are lovely, very actively visible in the tennis community and at the club. I have two young children, one an infant, and Connie in the kids room is amazing with him. I never worry about leaving him with her. I picked him up after playing tennis one day, and she had him and one other baby on each knee and rocked to sleep! My older son will take swim lessons at the pool- for a third year in a row, and is again, a good way to meet others that you'll be at the pool with over the summer. I feel the price/value of the membership is completely reasonable for everything you get. read more
