The person answering the phone didn't know the answer to the question, so she took my name and number and said she would have the manager call when they came in that evening. Didn't hear from the manager or anyone else. We took a chance, drove 35 minutes, arriving at 9:00: the whole family (4 cars). Walked up to the front counter and was told they were closed to the public for a special event. I told the person that I called yesterday and she said "And...". And they said nothing about being closed to the public. No apology, no regret, nothing. We were all looking forward to a fun morning on Mother's Day. Instead we wasted a bunch of gas and will not be returning to one of the few places that a family can go have some affordable fun. Is it so hard to keep a website updated or make sure employees know about special events? Either of which could have saved the wasted morning and gas. What a disappointment!!

Our party host Sha'Lisia was amazing right from the start. So welcoming and great communication. The value is incredible- especially when you compare it to other kid-party options in the area. We skated for an hour, played laser tag and then came back to the party room for pizza/ice cream (included) and cake. Our host had it all set up so the kids could immediately eat- which was such a treat for me to not have to do! We just got to enjoy the party! There's a huge play structure that the kids LOVED and even a mini skating rink for the littles. All of our guests had a blast and several went home to order skates. I see many family nights here in our future! We are so lucky to have a rink in our area- and even better, owned by the same local family for almost 20 years!

This was my gym for about 6 months (Pre-Covid mainly). The staff was nice and informative. There…read moreare two different spaces. One only for women and one for everyone. I preferred the co-ed spaces because it had the better equipment for the most part (as least where free weights were concerned). I liked that this place was very close to my home and I liked the sauna. The workout space that was usually for classes but they let us do exercises in there when classes weren't in session..perfect for people who are doing no-equipment workouts. It also has these big mirrors. Now, here's the thing...I think this facility needs some upgrades. The equipment is old and several machines were broken or taped up. There's also this lingering smell in the facility that smells like chemicals but also something else that triggered my nausea a few times. I never felt like the place was clean. The floor in the main area was lumpy and uneven. The carpet in the "women only" area was stained and looked dirty. I was not comfortable working out in the floor even with my mat. And the women's only area had a sad collection of weights, as if women don't care about free weights and only want to use machines? Anyway, I personally wouldn't recommend this gym, but maybe I was just too pampered by the LSU gym during my tenure there.

Unfortunately the truck broke down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana after driving for 12 hours. I then had to wait 4 hours for a tow truck. After making it to a auto shop I ubered to get some food and then walked to my normal happy place. THE GYM...as I waited to catch my last minute flight that I booked to go back home to Savannah. I came across this gym and decided to check it out. I paid $11 for a day pass to use the entire facility. I wanted to shower and see if it woke me up enough to want to train and relieve some much needed stress. Unfortunately, I was too tired to train so I decided to look around at their apparel, snacks and supplements. As I'm looking I see the manager (old blonde lady) and the young girl Jenna talking about me and giving me looks...I guess because I was rolling around a small carry on bag with my RedCon1 backpack. I then approached them and asked about the smoothie bar that they have with seating available. I paid about $15 more for a large smoothie and a couple of snacks while I waited another 30 mins to head to the airport and get checked in early. After I drank the smoothie at the bar I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and leave. Before I began to leave, I was trying to figure out the specific address to type in the Uber app to be picked up from there, so I proceeded to ask the manager...she was very short and rude with her responses and failed to make eye contact, until I sat down at the bench in front of the sign in desk where the manager immediately said "um no, no...you can't just hang out here, you need to leave." I replied "I'm sorry?...(immediately showed her my phone) I'm booking an Uber right now to leave?" The manager said "if you're not training you can't just hang out here, you need to leave, there is a bench outside." I said "well I paid for a day pass?" The manager replied "yeah no...there is a bench outside, you can't be in here." I said (in shock at how rude she was) umm okay... and walked outside. I was completely dumb founded. It's not like I'm some homeless looking guy walking around in normal clothes...I was wearing gym clothes, and had a gym bag...and was purchasing things and paid for a DAY PASS to be able to use and experience the facility. I strongly do not recommend coming to this location and do not wish to visit or sign up at any of their other locations due to this experience. If you plan to uphold a strong reputation as a business I suggest choosing wisely of the people you wish to represent and manage the business.

Independence park is located where the old airport was located and the indoor courts were constructed in the hangar area and as such there is a low ceiling for those who like to lib the ball. The indoor tennis courts were recently redone and as such are in the best shape it's ever been. The outdoor courts are lined up two within a fence with one set of 3. Each of the tennis courts have benches for the players. There is no water. Also, for the spectator, there are benches near each court which makes it pleasant and somewhat easy to view. In addition to the tennis courts, in this area are meeting rooms which the public may use.

The courts were resurfaced, I guess, mid-last year. While a vast improvement from their previous state, the base of the courts is still in pretty lousy shape. There are quite a few spots where there are cracks or divots that could easily change the trajectory of the ball...unless it's me hitting it, which would result in the ball burying itself in the ground until friction of the surrounding pavement and consequential hole gravel eventually bring the ball to a stop somewhere near the earth's core. (um, that was a joke, I'm really a humble guy...I mean, some of my best friends are me) There are a lot of courts and they have a croquet field and shuffleboard, but the court conditions are really not perfect. One set of courts seems to be on a slope, so you're either serving uphill or downhill. Barely noticeable...but noticeable. It's close to my house, so I'll keep coming.
