All coaches have an attention to detail that helps you improve your movements--whether you're going through on-ramp or you're a veteran athlete. Coaches break down the movements each class, every day (which has to get monotonous)--but I believe that's because they realize the importance of returning to the basics no matter your level of experience. CFP also does a great job of varying movements and class structure to keep you coming back.

I used to belong here. I joined because the location included a pool and a large hot tub…read moreoverlooking the Illinois River. While soaking in front of a huge glass window in the hot tub, you can actually see the bald eagles nesting in the trees on the other side of the Illinois River! But that's about it. The place is being run by idiots, all on the city payroll -- usually guys wearing tight body shirts who spend most of their time working out on the machines while giving scant attention to the "problems" all around them. The workout machine area overlooking all of this is virtually deserted with no supervision and no customers, particularly in the evening hours after work (one has to wonder why?). This encourages pilfering and chronic theft in the locker areas, among other things. Then a white school bus arrives and unloads various people on a hot summer day, who stand around talking to each other in the Olympic-size pool, thus preventing anyone from swimming laps until after they and their white bus leave two hours later. If one tries to complain, a guy in a tight body shirt comes over to tell you your behavior is not acceptable. Meanwhile, the people off the bus could be drowning from no supervision for all he knows because, up to then, he and his "crew" are busy talking to various types about tomorrow's big game at the events center! It is a big political operation to keep everyone happy during the summer heat and the drop-dead months of cold winter, so they will not throw rocks or steal hubcaps (as well as cars parked nearby) due to the lack of personal safety on the streets around the place --which has been funded by tax monies -- that is from those who pay taxes. Somebody made a lot of money building this place. Then they use it to stick it to the taxpaying citizens to keep some people "happy" who are "needy" and unhappy for whatever reasons. But watch for Mr. Body T. Shirt to run for mayor next time around, since he knows how to make the big shots with the real money happy.

Incredibly unsafe environment. After several months of harassment by another member, we escalated…read morethe case to the building level management who informed us they had no instrument at their disposal to enforce the code of conduct they expect of their members, and that we should just ignore the intimidation of the other member. We hate to leave this place, particularly because of the relationships that we have formed with so many good people here, but the dereliction of the duty of care by management is just unacceptable and morally questionable. I hate to say it, but you'd be safer going somewhere that values member safety over money.

I've been going to Eastside center since it first opened when I was a child. I worked in the…read morebabysitting room in high school. Now, as an adult, I occassionally go when I happen to be visiting town. The staff are caring and truly great people. The teachers are full of energy and positive. Pricing, according to the website, appears to be very, very reasonable for a gym, but they don't have 'perks' that I've come to find 'normal' for most gyms -- such as towel service. The infrastructure hasn't really been updated since I was in grade school, so while clean, its showing its age. The equipment is also showing its age a bit/there is sometime not enough equipment for large classes (only 14 spin bikes for example). Overall, this is a fine gym. I'd recommend a re-visit of the class schedule as the class times overlap if you want to go from one to the next, you have to leave the first early.

My first impression here was pretty sour due to racism.

The guy showing me around didn't say anything. Made me hesitant to go back until a month later since it's near where I live. Reception here is very weak, most of the time I do not have a signal. There is a trail nearby which is nice. Also an outdoor basketball court and bar gym. The equipment is in good shape. The bathrooms are clean. Front desk employees always greet me with a smile. But that one experience with racists is something I just can't brush off. I wish the staff member would have addressed it.

The lady at the registration desk was so friendly and helpful. She completed my paperwork in a timely fashion so I could get to the workout class on time. I was immediately greeted by the instructors. I went to two classes and I was greeted the same way in both classes. My fellow work out partners were friendly and helpful as well. I stopped at the desk to ask about lap swimming and classes for the following two day. This attendant highlighted classes that she thought I might be interested in attending.

I've only lived in Pekin four years but it was past time to get a place like this. Pekin has a…read moretumbling place geared towards what I would consider the highly competitive, at least in my opinion that my child tried and didn't like. Pekin Park Dept. has a tumbling program that my child attended prior to Aerial Athletics and loved it, but could quickly outgrow. Before trying both places in Pekin my child went to two places in Peoria that were larger and had more options. Aerial Athletics brought these options to Pekin, and at a competitive price. My child is loving Aerial Athletics and is progressing, which is something that can be a struggle at bigger places because of the class sizes and lack of knowledge by the teachers. We have not experienced that here at Aerial Athletics. The person running Aerial Athletics is extremely involved with the classes and training/overseeing new teachers. They use a parent portal to see the schedule and register for classes. Their Facebook page is utilized to get out reminders and events. They are highly responsive when you contact them. So far Aerial Athletics seems to be a great benefit added to the Pekin community.
