Great so far
The friendships made. Available pool to exercise in.
Great staff, equipment always clean and available
I like the vast array of workout equipment, and also the full court basketball gym and pool.
The equipment is just what I am looking for. The pool is great. My only wish would be having time in the gym area to shoot hoops with my kids. Always has people playing a basketball game and no room for us to shoot.
FRIENDLY STAFF, AND DIFFERENT CLASSES FOR SENIORS!!!

Nice people, both the help and the members, make it very enjoyable place to visit and to work out.
