Machines sit dormant waiting for repair often...and Steam room is constantly inconsistent and temperatures in dry sauna are below recommended temps. Did I also mention how LOUD it is in the 'Quiet Area.' 3. Towel service is 1 STAR....and unacceptable. Last night and many days/nights the shelves in the locker area are bare with NO TOWELS....I literally had to walk the locker room to find a clean towel to dry off with. 4. Family Friendly. YES! It should be...but now that school/college is on summer break the gym experience is fraught with kids being kids.. from locker room to gym floors...absolute chaos... 5. Showers- The entire shower area is a mess a lot of the time, but especially last night....walk into a shower and someone left towels inside stall....No attendants cleaning up or restocking towels...counters full of water, etc. NOT A PREMIUM EXPERIENCE! I truly enjoy investing in my health and consider Lifetime a splurge in my budget....BUT I continually leave shaking my head at the level of service...quality...and inconsistency....even the 'simple things' from a staff person, like Have a good night...hope you had a nice workout. It would be nice to have persons on the floor assisting 'newbies' with workout tips or offering assistance in using the equipment.

Not required to re/rack your weights here. So that sucks when you need the rack that someone didn't clean up!

They are "up" on all the activities coming up and through them you can purchase tickets for them. Very helpful and friendly to residents and visitors alike. Great folks. There is an indoor pool, kept at a nice 84F, so no cold shock. Large lounge area, computers for internet access, a ball room that can be segmented into three areas, a full pottery studio with six wheels and two kilns, beautiful outdoor porch and meeting rooms. The three story gym includes an indoor eighth mile track, weight machines, treadmills and ellipticals and lots of free weights. At one end of the ball room is a full kitchen for demos and the "Cooking Fingers" club uses it for their meetings and guest chefs. There is also a large outdoor pool open from May through September. When the outdoor pool is operating, children (yes, there are lots of grandchildren visiting residents) are restricted from the indoor pool. In the winter months, the indoor pool is open for child use and weekend days from 1pm - 4pm. There are six tennis courts, two pickle ball courts, two horseshoe pits and indoor there is a coffee and snack cafe open from early morning until just after lunch. In all, the Lake House is the hub of activities for Sun City. An additional amenity center, as it is correctly called, is planned for completion around 2015, which will include outdoor courts and a pool.

NO CALL BACK! Where is the Indianland Y's compassion, when we are worrying about illness and pending surgery that they can't acknowledge the fact that an elderly man cannot come to the Y and personally request to have his "Membership'" put on hold. Jim was a member of the cancer exercise Group until he could no longer attend. I would like someone to reach out and help us with this lack of compassion and communication. I am 84 and have vision issues and do not drive so I can't go to the Y and act on his behalf.

It was my first time playing laser tag. You can play with people in your group but also have the option to allow other people in your session. Think you can have up to 20 people playing at a time. You can play in teams or individually. The laser gun keeps track of your hits and ranks everyone at the end of the game. The game lasts 10 mins. At first I thought, 10 minutes?! was way too short for the amount of money we paid for one session. But when you're running around on the course, 10 minutes is sufficient. It was fun and sweaty lol.
