I am wondering if the city of SLO is aware exactly how loud the music is that's played at this…read morepool. As I write this I'm in my home (I live across the creek on the opposite side of Southwood Drive) with all windows shut and very clearly hear it, from a distance of 300 ft. I mentioned the distance because the city's own noise ordinance states, in pertinent part: "Between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., it is a violation to make or allow noise that can be heard 50 feet from your property line." My residence is five times the distance spelled out in the ordinance. However, I walked back through my complex to see how far the noise was audible. I stood at the basketball court fence adjacent to my property - a distance of 500 ft, 10 times the distance in the city's ordinance - and the music is still audible. Now, I'm familiar with the concept of due diligence when looking for a new place to stay, and I did research this neighborhood before moving here. I was aware I would next to two parks, a school, and a baseball stadium. I have no problem with the noise from the ball games, school etc. as it's unavoidable but the pool music is not. Further, I couldn't have conceived of a scenario where I would regularly be subjected to loud music from a city ran facility, in violation of their own noise ordinance. Again, I'm giving the city the benefit of the doubt, in good faith, and assuming they're unaware of this. I feel a lot of it has to do with the placement of whatever speaker(s) the music is played over. Thus, a possible solution would be to arrange the speakers so they face away from the complexes on the other side of the street. They could still face the pool, and the hill/elementary chool on the other side of the pool would largely blunt the music from traveling to the residences on Augusta. I'm really hoping to hear back from someone with the city in regards to this.

You are surrounding by palm trees in every direction, beautiful rolling green mountains, and the ocean is just a few minutes away! This is one of the best clubs I have ever visited. As soon as you walk in, everyone is so friendly and welcoming (it's almost unbelievable). There are over a dozen tennis and pickleball courts, multiple saunas, a large lap pool with a hot tub as well as a smaller leisure pool with another hot tub. There is a wonderful outdoor patio on the second level which overlooks the courts and pools and has fire pits and lots of seating. Inside you will find a cardio room, weight room, and another lounge area with a pool table and a large seating area with a big fireplace. They offer a full service spa where you can get massages, facials, pedicures/manicures, and hair cuts. Added bonus - if you schedule one of those services you get a free day pass to use all of the amenities at the club without being a member. Really can't get over how remarkable this place is and can't wait to go back ASAP!

My son is 7 and he had a wonderful time, tye dyed a shirt and played pickleball and tennis daily. He really enjoyed the endless fun in the pool with the counselors.

I felt very safe dropping him off and they did a great job in checking him in and out. There is a good mix of kids from different age groups which is nice. The facilities vibe is very much a resort-like environment. Definitely call and check them out if you wanna give your kids a variety of summer activities.

The rec center is included with student fees, and it's about $40-$50 for alumni/staff/faculty, which is a great price for what it offers and what other gyms don't offer/their prices.

I love that I rarely ever wait for a machine or free weights, and I can save my spot for a class a day before.

I am so in love with this gym that after I graduated Cal Poly I keep paying for the membership. It is pretty comparable to other gyms in the area and totally worth it. The staff keep the areas clean and are always wiping down the machines. There are 3 main areas to work out in (treadmills, elliptical, bikes, weights, etc.). You can take all of the classes with your membership like yoga, spin, and more. The gym offers other amenities like a basketball court, racquetball courts, pools outside, and nice locker rooms with showers. Since there are so many things to do, there are usually a lot of people! The best time to go is really early in the morning (students are usually still sleeping). The only downside to the Rec Center is parking...if you do not have a student parking pass, it is extremely difficult to find parking. You either have to pay for a daily pass or roam the streets for free 2-hour parking. I wish the membership included a parking pass!

As a former National Academy of Sports Medicine Personal Trainer and Senior Fitness Specialist, I selected Barbara LeMoine for my first free personal training session. I was impressed by her masters degree in exercise physiology, as well as her sunny disposition. She really brought her knowledge, experience and educational background to the table. Barb precisely comprehended my needs from my questionnaire and interview with me. She introduced me to three machines which allow me to train my biceps and triceps without bearing weight on my painful foot, along with a piece of cardio equipment that increased the challenge over what I was previously doing, while avoiding loading the painful foot. She got all the settings on each machine dialed in and texted them to me. I could not be more pleased with her, and my Kennedy Club Fitness experience.
