Positive Reviews:Maria Rocco: ★★★★★
I know that this gym can seem a bit pricey but the day care program here makes it worth EVERY last cent! We get two free hours of day care every day included in our membership and the best part is that my child truly enjoys coming! Cheri has cultivated such an amazing program and treats every family that comes in like one of her own. The babysitting staff are so sweet and attentive and you can tell they really enjoy their job and being there. I really cannot say enough about this program but if you are a parent and looking for a family friendly gym you can go to where you know your child will be taken care of, this gym is that and even more!
Madison Engel: ★★★★★
This gym has been life changing for our family. Specifically, the childcare. They genuinely care for the kids, and my daughter asks to go! I’m able to get a much needed break, to workout, or just relax by the pool, knowing my daughter is in good hands. Our quality of life is better because of this gym.
Ryan Gangemi: ★★★★★
I've been a member here for ~15 years straight. I have played tennis and pickleball, used the sauna, hot tub, gone swimming, and taken some group classes. I mostly use the gym now for the best personal training around with Desi (fitness director) and holding me accountable for my health. I will keep coming back to stay fit and healthy! The newly renovated snack bar is a nice touch too.
mike ayers: ★★★★★
I have been a member of this club for the past 7 years . It’s an older facility, but they constantly make upgrades. Every year they add on amenities. The staff is professional and engaging. Their programs are excellent. I’m there every week swimming 🏊♂️. If you use the facilities on a monthly basis it’s well worth the $$$ …
Neutral Reviews:Bill Jackson: ★★★
Was a member years ago and didn't think twice about rejoining when we moved back to the area. Some things haven't changed (ie: dated locker rooms) but have heard facility upgrades are planned that might address some of those concerns. Looking forward to playing more tennis and getting back in shape.
Scott Stephenson: ★★★
Overall a decent gym and the best option for multiple amenities in Auburn...pools, tennis, volleyball, racquetball, pilates, yoga, massage, hot tub, sauna, the list goes on and on. Minus one star for not having an organized volleyball activity. Their beautiful sand volleyball court was half the reason I joined in the first place. I'd inquired at the front desk about it, they took my number, and then I never received any follow-up. And minus one more star because I know they gave someone else a better deal on their membership than the one I received. It's tough enough to go work out in public...now the club is picking favorites? I'd rather join a gym that treats everyone equally. A member for 2 years and now discontinuing.
Negative Reviews:John Cordoba: ★
The prices are pretty outrageous for what you get. I was a member for a while. I had to stop my membership for a few months for personal reasons, Only to find out that when I wanted to come back I had to pay for the initiation fee all over again. Their outdated gym equipment doesn't grant the high price of the initiation fee. Their staff could also be a little bit friendlier. I sent emails and left voicemail for over a month before I got a call back. It's sad that this is really the only gym in Auburn.
Matt Johnson: ★★
I had a membership for over a decade but left my membership to my family members in the area when I left for military obligations. When I came back, I was constantly hounded about my membership status. Little did I know, they took my name off my own membership. So I wasn't a member any longer. I put up with the expensive fees and lack of equipment because it was good enough. I'm now disappointed I stayed with this facility for so long. This is not a gym. It's a golf club without the golf. Save your money and time and find an actual gym that encourages holistic health.
Colton Childs: ★
This gym has nice amenities. But, is not worth the price you pay and the contract bind you are in. It's not simple as just canceling you must jump through hoops to cancel membership. This gym makes at least $3.6 million annually from member fees and has outdated workout equipment to show for it.. seems like they care only about their racquet members, who mind you, pay extra on top of their ridiculous fees. But, sadly they are the only gym in the area that have such amenities and there for, take advantage of the members. Do not recommend
Svetlana Ferguson: ★★
Good Gym, good classes and the pool. Read you contract careful. If you want to cancel or put membership on hold they will extend your contract to the month of hold. The hold fee is ridiculously high, for not using Gym for couple of month. Cancellation policy has all kids of hidden strings attached. They requires proof of reason for cancellation even AFTER contact is over??!! No trust to members, not respect. They raising dues every month and trying to squeeze every penny from you if you want to cancel contract. Not worst it!
