    Soccer session with Coach Gilbert
    Nixon V.

    Such a great indoor facility. It is large and immaculate compared to other indoor facilities nearby in a 1-mile radius. You have soccer, basketball, weightlifting, and performance coaches all under one roof. Everyone here is so friendly and helpful. My son is currently taking mini-ballers soccer sessions with Coach Gilbert. He is such a great coach. Very passionate about teaching, playful, creative, and patient. Works very well with young players and understands that every child has his pluses and minuses. Since the very first day, my son has been asking to go back for more training. He enjoys learning new drills, playing and practicing with the other kids. The best is that he enjoys learning how to trap and score with the soccer balls using the TOCA machines. If you are looking for a place where you kids can enjoy and experience multiple different types of activities, look no further; Academy USA is your go-to location. As a parent, I would highly recommend this place in a heartbeat.

    This place is running pretty smoothly even during COVID-19 so I give my hat off to them. They are also hosting a lot of private trainings where they check your temperature when you walk in. There are a couple of different travel teams that go to the Academy USA to train and the whole team gets their temperature checked by the receptionist as they walk in. You are also required to wear a mask when your temperature is being checked but after you're cleared you can take off the mask and head into the gym. Overall it's an state of the art facility and I highly recommend it.

    Great indoor sports center. My son comes here for soccer, we have tried basketball but he wasn't interested. Good think it was included in the fee so we didn't have to pay for separate class and find out later that he isn't into it phewwwww!! The price is reasonable. You pretty much can participate in any program they have as long as you are a member. Facility is nicely equipped. My son soccer coach is amazing.

    I recently stayed here for a conference, and everything screamed vintage but athletic club, too…read more The hotel room is VERY spacious, though it erred on the side of dark. As usual, water in the room costs money, and there are a few other products with hidden price tags in the room, too. Surprisingly, toothbrush and toothpaste was not provided. The water for showering also doesn't get too hot. In terms of the athletic space, the machines were very easy to access. There was never a wait even on weekend afternoons. The lap pool was my favorite part - clean and calm. There was some miscommunication between the lobby and the store, as one said there is no reservation system but there in fact was. But even when told all the lanes were fully reserved, more than half weren't in use. Parking is a bit of a hassle; for non-members it's definitely not worth it. At the time of visit, the parking machine wasn't working. There are also sperate elevators for parking vs the athletic club / hotel area which was a little confusing. The stair numbers also didn't coordinate the best with actual level.

Highy recommend and can't wait for our next company event here with such a great team of support staff Extra kudos to Georgette and Pedro for their services and helping me guarantee a sure lock-in for our first (and many more) events and ensuring i looked goos foe our company event.

Not crowded and enjoyable to be in.

    Overall a decent gym, it's fairly maintained, and the staff is friendly…read more The waiting lines are of intermediate terribleness. Most of the time it's ok, however some machines they clearly need more of. For example, the row machine (they have only one of) and pec fly machine (they have two). These you can almost guarantee that there will be a line. Cables. Lines are manageable but there is a bigger issue. Half the time there are literally no attachments. At times there will be say two triceps ropes and a single bar between the 6 cables to share. So, not only not enough variety of attachments (which is also true), but at times literally not enough to even have any kind of attachment on all the cables. I don't know if people take them to the private training area (which is not accessible to normies) or whatever they do with it, but it's very common at this gym and a deal breaker issue, I'd say. Sauna - insanely nasty. Horrible. Feels very unsanitary. I used it twice and both times my freshly washed towel, that I used there to sit on, caught this horrible stink of probably hundreds of peoples' sweats soaked in the wood of the sauna benches. I would've probably caught hepatitis A through Z had I not used the towel (half-joking). Still on the subject of sauna - not necessarily exclusive to this gym, but most people don't know sauna etiquette. They go in, wearing their sweaty shoes and clothes and do freaking sit ups and other crap in there, resulting in all of us sitting in heat and breathing in their stinky body and unwashed sweaty clothes evaporates. To those people, learn some manners and look up sauna etiquette before using it next time, that is nasty and you are just being an a**hole, with all due respect. That is not good for you or anyone around you. To the gym management - maybe print out sauna etiquettes and post them in a few places where sauna users can see? Have rules of use, just like you do for everything else? Overall, not ideal, but compared to some other gyms within walking distance it is at least usable.

Prior to joining this gym I had gained about 20lbs from life... Diana is throughly helping me with my weight loss journey. I have never felt better in my body as I do now. I am stronger and the food noise has diminished. Not only has she coached on weightlifting/ strength training but has also coached me on my diet. Lastly, I look forward to every session I have booked with Diana, she makes a special tailored program for my needs / goals and is flexible / adaptable with scheduling. Front Desk/ locker room I am always greeted with a smile from the front desk personnel. The bathroom / locker room is always tidy. The bonus for me is that they provide parking validation for the parking structure. I am always able to find a parking spot get in and out without a hiccup. The one critique I have for Equinox is that I wish they were open a little later on the weekend.
