Member Testimonials
Swimming
Inclusive and low key. Join a group or go it alone, either works.
OK
nice pool. friendly lifeguards
I'm a newer member, so have only used the gym. As someone who is not inclined to lift weights due to not knowing how to use machines or if I'm using them properly, the egym is a HUGE win for someone like me.
Love the 6pm classes
You offer the hours that I need for use of the "Instructional Pool"
I like the variety of classes and the lap swimming
Locations, variety of group classes, fellow members, fitness facilities
I love that I can walk and feel at home in such a friendly place. I like when the staff use my name.
The sinks in the locker rooms need signs telling people that they have to wipe out dark hairs after they have dried their hair. I hate seeing long dark hairs in the sink when I have to wash my hands. It is pretty disgusting to see and makes a clean sink look filthy.
You need to have a better system of communication. If there is a power outage or a class is cancelled or the pool is closed, you should be tweeting or texting this information to us before we leave home. It is no good arriving there to discover that it is closed or the pool is closed or a class is cancelled. You don't even answer the phone when I ring in advance to find out if the power is out when I know the power is out in my own home.
You have some great staff, thanks for all that they do well.
