I almost hate to post a negative review since the others have given such glowing recommendations, but this club does have some problems.

First of all, the classes are good and the club is well maintained. However, there are two major problems with the club.

The first is the pool. It is very tiny and it is difficult to get a lane. The real problem is the fact that the pool is taken over by older water walkers who refuse to share lanes and get very upset at any waves. To put it mildly, this makes it difficult to swim.

The other huge problem is that while they are updating some of the equipment, the cardio machines aren't great and numerous times I have went to a machine and the previous user had not disinfected it. Management doesn't seem to be very responsive to these problems. I've also seen older individuals be very rude to other members. For example, today in the pool someone dove in (not very gracefully) and made a large splash. Two water walkers were very irate and told the lady not to dive in a very rude manner. I myself have been glared at when I had the audacity to ask to share a pool lane. I've seen a number of these experiences of the course of nine months.

Really, if you are younger, I would advise you to stay clear. Even those with families might be better off at the JCC.

I couldn't imagine working out anyplace other than Penfield Racquet and Fitnes Club. Nice variety in exercise equipment, personal trainers are wonderful, and the cost is reasonable.

This club is great! Very upscale look and feel but inexpensive monthly price. I love the free child care and warm indoor pool!

Great racketball club
