★★★★★Faith KemperIt's one of the best things living in SW Portland! The pools are great with great instructors. The front desk folks are all welcoming and kind in addition to being helpful. The facility is clean with a cozy seating pod in the lobby.
★★★★Alma RazaghiReally nice pool and hot tub. The Water aerobic classes are always fun with great instructors. Wish the womens locker room shower would get cleaned more often
★★★Nicholas MyersReally not sure how to rate this. The pool, basketball gym are all great. 5 stars. My kids pool instructor was terrible. 1 star. It felt like he didn’t want to be there. He was more concern about water getting in his eyes than instructing the kids. This could be an isolated incident.
★★★★★Lani RuggieroVery organized, lots of fun things for young children to do. The pool has numerous lifeguards all around the pool. Fun slide and ...only a limited amount of people allowed in the pool 2 hr sessions
★★★C JohnsonThis is a cute place that has all the amenities, some classes and reasonable hours of operation. It's not a big box gym or fancy boutique studio but there's friendly staff, quaint weight room, very clean locker room and facilities. Good for all ages!
