I had a great time playing pickleball here! The courts were in good condition, and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. It was easy to find people to play with, making it a fun experience for players of all skill levels. One suggestion would be to add more pickleball hangers/hooks near the courts for bags and equipment. That small improvement would make the facility even more convenient. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a great game of pickleball!

The badminton courts were always busy, but the real issue is that some people there are very mean and they lie with straight face. I waited on a badminton court for 20 minutes, then began to play with my son at 7:45, a few minutes later, the group of 4 people that just played on this court came to us, asking us to leave because we have been playing for 20 minutes. I said I timed it and we did not even play for 10 minutes. They went to front desk and the front desk person came down and told that someone reported that we had been playing for 30 minutes. Turns out they have surveillance videos, and the front desk checked the video recording and confirmed that we indeed began to play at 7:45 and did not play for even 10 minutes. These guys were like "we play match so we can play longer. You should only play for 10 minutes, not 20 minutes". Really? 20 minutes? 30 minutes? They just made it up. My son was scared and our evening was ruined. If you plan to practice badminton with your family, I would suggest that you begin video recording of your session with iPhone or something at the start to 1. prove how much time you played 2. identify incorrect moves and improve your skills If these

This place has gone downhill big time. Been a member for years but won't be renewing. The upper gym is a mess - it's full of bugs in the summer and nobody seems to care about fixing it. But the worst part is how unfriendly it's become, especially if you have kids. People are rude and impatient, and the staff just stands around doing nothing about it. Don't even get me started on their ridiculous pool rules. They don't let kids in the kiddie pool during lap swim times. Yes, you read that right - the KIDDIE pool is off-limits to kids! Where are families supposed to go? Makes zero sense. What used to be a nice community place has turned into somewhere I honestly can't recommend, especially if you have children. The only good things I can say are that the location is convenient and the rates aren't bad. Everything else needs serious work.

I love this facility. The building is super clean. The bathrooms are super clean. The staff are always kind and patient. The energy here is elderly in the early hours, and family in the later hours - I never feel intimidated or nervous here. They offer a variety of affordable membership rates. They offer several classes, like Water Aerobics, Judo, Yoga, Line Dancing, and more - also affordable, and you don't need a membership for most, if not all. They have an large double gym, locker rooms with showers and a swimsuit dryer, large pool, an indoor track (12 laps is a mile), a cardio room, a weight room. There is also 128 acres of land behind the facility where you can walk or run several different fitness trails. The only thing I wish they had was standard barbell and plates. There isn't really room for it. They offer a free course teaching how to use each machine in the facility.
