Member Testimonials
Great variety of classes offered for all ages and skill levels. I really enjoy the community among the members.
There is a good range of group ex classes to meet everyone’s needs. Many of the instructors are very good at providing feedback / adjustments to make sure injuries are prevented.
But! The sound system in the group ex room need a speaker in the back of the room. The instructor can’t hear the music since the speakers are above and behind them. ONE speaker in the back of the room will allow the instructor to turn down the volume which better meets the needs of the members.
Good equipment and overall user friendly .
Lot's of equipment and machines in the fitness room. Clean facility.
Just use workout area
I like the live cycling/spinning classes. Claire and Melanie do an excellent job and should be acknowledged.
I have a recommendation for another class, but I assume there is another block to make that suggestion.
Water aerobics
The warm water in the Rec Pool.
