I basically just work out daily on the resistance machines, treadmills and stationary bike. I totally enjoy the state of Art equipment.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

It’s more like a community center and less like a gym. Very good yoga teachers too.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

The classes. However they are overly crowded. I would like to see one of the other rooms that do not have that much activity like the virtual bike room for more classes that have a 9:30-10:00 time. Only one body pump class is available per week at that time. And Punta Goesa body pumps classes are all too early.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

The facility is clean. The personnel are pleasant and helpful. Wide range of fitness machines and many fitness classs.

The pool is usually clean.The temperature is somewhat unpredictable. At times it has been too warm for lap swimming and I have been there when it was too cold to swim. ( The heater had failed.)

I would love the pool to be open before
9am.

They keep me active. They’re not always the same. There are some differences almost every time I love Leez she’s excellent and I also like the other ladies for Cynthia and I can’t remember the other ladies name but they’re all very good. They engage us. I love the people that go there they’re also friendly people at the desk are all so very friendly very helpful always smiling. It’s a good place.
