★★★★★Gordon AngeliqueRIts down the street from my mamma house and the affordable yearly plan has been my only lifeline that I could go to a gym. So grateful for them. They’re a big hit with the kids in the neighborhood. I kinda wish they could intergrate a 24 hour model. Those of us with funny schedules would be able to come more frequently. Im hoping that the increase of security is offset by the income and utility that the center offers. These are crazy times especially and a place like that, if the offered 24hr kido care/ the facility being open just in general. It would probably balloon into a safe haven… make us a target… nvm. The place is great 😅
★★★★★Jamal SpiveyThis community center allowed my business to host video game tournaments and operate my anime club for age groups 5 to 11. Thank you.
★Kimberly RolandThe gentlemen at the front desk is very rude. When I first approached the front desk to see where the class was that my daughters were taking, he didn’t even acknowledge me. He was casually talking to someone on the front desk phone on speaker phone, waited until he felt like pausing his conversation and then decided to address my question. I’ve seen him and another front desk associate (older woman) have no problem, yelling, being rude, and getting attitudes with patrons coming in. There is a way to communicate without being rude and nasty. The front desk definitely needs more training in customer service. There is no reason a scene should be created when you are talking to a customer.

★★★★★Ms. Deirdre JohnsonMy nephew started going here over a decade ago. My children go here for swimming and basketball. The membership is super affordable and it's a nice facility. They offer something for all ages. From young children to seniors. Definitely worth looking into.
