Member Testimonials
Meeting new people! I go to Yoga and play Pickleball..
I like the choice of exercise classes offered especially for seniors. The updates to the common areas are very nice. I have not been in the locker rooms so I don't know how they look but I know they really did need a makeover.
The equipment being there when I want to work out. It's like doing Physical therapy and your the instructor.
