| - I was a member at this club for 5 years. So I have a lot to say, but not nearly enough Yelp space in which to do it, so I shall do my best to summarize.
Pros
1. Three indoor swimming pools + two jacuzzis
2. Lots and lots of cardio equipment + 4 different weight areas
3. Indoor soccer field, track, basketball courts, and racquetball courts
4. Lots of classes - aerobics, swimming, spinning, etc
5. Outdoor pools with waterpark
6. Childcare
Cons
1. Expensive membership with required 2 year contract
2. You only have access to all the things listed above under the Pros section if you have the Gold Cove membership, which is the most expensive package. Regardless of having the most expensive membership, you still have to pay extra for most of the classes.
3. If you have anything less than the Gold Cove membership, there is one older woman at the front desk, as you check in, who will look at you like you're trying to steal the tanning bed she lives in. However, there is also a younger one with long, dark hair, who is more of an equal opportunity offender. She'll treat you like crap, no matter what your status.
4. If you don't have Gold Cove forget about going to the waterpark, unless you want to pay 23 dollars per person to get in.
5. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT bring in any of your own food. If they catch you anywhere in the facility with so much as a pretzel stick, they will go off on you, thusly informing you that you can only consume food and beverages purchased at THEIR lounge/bar/crappy food place. Because you know, you might be trying to smuggle in crack cocaine with your pretzels.
6. Lounge/bar area serves you the crappiest, overpriced food you can find. I don't know about the bar because I didn't go to a health club to drink.
7. Parking is a nightmare, especially in the mornings, and right around the time people are coming home from work. While that is to be expected, the countless number of SUVs and big pick ups with something to prove, stalking people as they head to their vehicles makes for a dangerously crowded, and highly annoying situation.
There you have it. Nice club, with nice amenities, just be prepared to part with your money, and deal with a few annoying aspects.
