I would give this place more stars but I can't. The woman's locker room "SHOULD NOT HAVE BOYS INSIDE OF IT". I almost got into an argument with a "boy mom" because I was changing, rightfully so, and she complained about me getting undressed. I kept a towel over me until they both left but told her there is a family side for families and her and her son shouldn't be on that side of the locker room. I understand that there are family swim time hours but that doesn't change the fact small boys shouldn't be in a woman's locker room. We already spend a monthly membership that is not cheap, and shouldn't have to argue with anyone in a very vulnerable place. The last thing I want is get undressed and turn and see child getting exposed to my or any other woman naked body. We have a right to our spaces and if the boys can't go in the men's locker room unattended that shouldn't be delegated to every womans responsibility in the WOMAN'S LOCKER ROOM. This facility should have built family areas and state to parents with kids that they should only stay in their respected zones. These boys were running around the entire woman's locker room like it was a party zone ,and I have half a mind to cancel my membership over this. I go here to work out and relax in the gym, and sauna. Regardless of their age, BOYS SHOULDN'T BE IN THE WOMAN'S LOCKER ROOM.

I was a member of this gym many years ago, and there were several aspects I truly appreciated. The facility was consistently clean, the equipment and circuit were high quality, and the overall atmosphere attracted a mature and generally respectful crowd. One of the highlights was the relaxing view of the water, which made workouts feel more enjoyable and helped create a calming environment. However, I ultimately decided to stop going due to ongoing issues that became too frustrating to ignore. During the hottest summer days, the air conditioning frequently wasn’t working properly, which made workouts uncomfortable and, at times, unbearable. A well-functioning AC system is essential, especially during peak heat, and this was a recurring problem. Another major drawback was the sauna experience. What should have been a quiet, relaxing space was often disrupted by members who were loud, disruptive, and inconsiderate of the shared environment. There were frequent full conversations—and even phone calls—which showed a clear lack of awareness of basic etiquette and made it difficult for others to unwind. It took away from what should have been a peaceful and restorative amenity. That said, I still think highly of many aspects of this gym and the foundation it offers. I would genuinely consider rejoining in the future if management were to address the ongoing air conditioning issues and more strongly enforce a no-talking policy in the sauna to preserve a respectful and relaxing environment for all members.

I haven’t even tried everything this place has to offer but I’ve been extremely satisfied with the gym area alone. It has everything (for me at least), people are nice and polite, it’s on the smaller side for a gym but the layout was done well and honestly you won’t even notice. If you do need more space they have a room connected to the gym that you can move over. I tend to use the open room for any calisthenics and boxing training. I do wish they expand on the boxing room as it’s just a closet with a punching bag lol. But great gym, great staff, very clean and rules are straight forward. Basketball court is often crowded with teenagers and as there are only two hoops if a 5v5 is played then you are out of luck or go outside to play basketball which can be annoying when you have an inside basketball that you don’t want to ruin or if the elements outside prevent that. I have yet to experience the pool but from my walk around and talking to people coming from the pool they seem to enjoy it and nothing concerning or out of the ordinary is ever mentioned. Very good gym overall. 4/5 due to hours being so limiting
