One of the trendiest sports these days is pickleball, and I too have become engrossed with the…read moresport. Due to its popularity, there is always high demand for court space to play. Typically I will head over to my local park and play with other strangers, but when it got cold outside I turned to Peak Sports to give me the space to play during the winter. Peak is a facility in Apex that hosts both pickleball and badminton. I don't play badminton, so I will focus on the pickleball. There are seven pickleball courts within Peak, with two of the seven usually being held for small group reservations. Throughout the day, all of the other courts have general open play, where you bring your own paddle and play pick up games with friends or strangers. Peak uses a phone app to monitor and control the amount of people within the facility, so that a good flow of games occur. The courts themselves are relatively below average when it comes to indoor facility courts. Instead of the traditional outdoor feel, Peak uses a rolled out mat that acts as their court. It is more slick, so I am more prone to slipping on the court, plus the texture of the court makes it so that the ball has extra spin on fast hits. For a real feel outdoor court in an indoor facility, I would point to Pin Point in Raleigh for that. The best thing about Peak in my opinion is the community of players there. All of the staff is really nice and I have met some of my best pickleball friends here. Peak also offers various classes, leagues and tournaments so that you can consistently improve. I would say that a lot of my recent growth as a player has come from playing at Peak. You have the option to become a member here starting at around $89/month, or you can pay every time you want to join an Open Play session. While I wouldn't say that Peak is the absolute best indoor facility for pickleball, it has given me lots of opportunities for improvement and a place to play to avoid the frigid temperatures!

Oh dear lord...this is the worst soccer organization that I have ever been apart of! When my son…read morewas 3 1/2 I noticed signs for Goldstar soccer everywhere. So I looked up the website and it looked like a nice organization to start my son with. The youngest players they have are three which was perfect for us. I signed him up and I was so excited! Well the first practice came around and all of the kids were there ready to practice. Guess what...we did not have a coach. Finally the people that run the organization coerced a few parents into volunteering to coach. The coach for our team had never even played soccer. Awesome!!! (said with great sarcasm!) So after about two weeks of practice that involved made up drills by our poor coach we had our first game. They didn't even give us our uniforms until after the first game. I know that the kids were young and I should not have expected professional instruction, but I did expect something! We had a team with no coaches and no uniforms. So after this terrible soccer season we finally went to the end of season picnic. Which was nice because they provided hotdogs and hamburgers. The downside. The whole freaking place almost blew up because one of the grills that they were using did not have the propane hose had a hole in it. Propane was shooting out everywhere. Luckily my husband spotted the problem and ran to turn off the grill before 200 kids and parents got blown to smithereens. The only nice thing I have to say about goldstar is that they officially turned my son off of soccer and we are now apart of a good football organization. Way to go GOLDSTAR you made a kid hate soccer!

I do not like that they shortened the seasons and took away the tournament. We are still required to pay a membership fee which makes it more per season. Refereeing can be hit or miss which is very common for any sport. What are my likes? The staff is awesome They have draft beer and food which makes it a place to hang out after This is definitely my first choice for an adult soccer league.

I've belonged to a lot of gyms and this Life Time is the best. It's like a fitness resort! There's…read moresomething for everyone here, and fitness equipment I've never seen before. There are numerous classes that are serious workouts. Yoga, hot yoga, stretch, etc. I'm not a swimmer, but if I was I think the swim facilities are second to none, both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor pool is awesome, and will serve adult beverages, which is a nice option. There's steam, sauna, whirlpool, and a clean and well stocked locker room. I joined as soon as I could and was there on day one. Love this place! Finally, shout out to Courtney, who is always there with a smile and exuberant hello.

I've been going to Lifetime Fitness Cary for about 4 years. Yes it's expensive, but I feel like…read moreit's worth it. I love the group fitness classes and I love that you reserve your spot in advance. They also just started a new Core Tone Reform class with reformers for regular members, and that class kicks your butt! I also really enjoy the sauna, steam room, and jacuzzis. Another benefit is the kids membership. My stepdaughter loves coming to the kids club for gymnastics, rock climbing, yoga, and more. I know that she is having fun while I'm doing a class. They have Parents Night Out on the weekends and that's such a nice perk! There's also day camps, which has saved us a few times when we needed child care during a school break. The pool is also wonderful in the summertime. The cafe food is average. I'd love it if the quality was amped up just a bit. The only thing I really ever get is the vegan PB& B shake. It's delicious! It has peanut butter, banana, cafe mocha greens, almond milk, and vegan protein powder. I haven't been to the salon yet, but it's great that this is an option. Overall, I love this gym and I would go every day if I could.
