The girls high performance Rowing Coach, Sorcha, is dedicated and incredibly talented. I've never seen a coach who can inspire such loyalty in a group of girls before in my life, and I played high school and college. This club went out of their way to get the girls a new boat as well. They really take care of the kids there. They have a place to get the athletes on the water in the winter, which I don't think any other Club has in this area. Truly the best of the best rowing clubs

The coaches were super supportive and really boosted my son's confidence.

Hope and the team are fantastic! Highly recommend.

I've never talked to the manager since he NEVER walks the club and avoids members interaction at all costs. But when I show up to find out the club is closed the rest of today and tomorrow for a special event without any kind of in club, online, or proactive text / email communication, I'm just done with these people who could care less about their members' wellness. Homophobic, cruel, and incompetent.

Equinox Darien is NOT safe--and management will NOT protect you…read more After being verbally assaulted, subjected to misogynistic slurs, and physically confronted by a male member on the gym floor, I reported the incident immediately. Multiple witnesses came forward. I was assured it would be handled. It wasn't. The individual was allowed back into the club and continued spreading false, degrading, and misogynistic comments about me to other members and staff. Despite months of detailed reports to senior leadership and HR, Equinox took no meaningful action. Instead, I was met with delays, deflection, and ultimately told they "cannot engage" unless other members contact them directly. Translation: the victim does the work, the harasser faces no consequences. Even more disturbing, staff appeared to tolerate--or participate in--gossip, reinforcing a hostile and misogynistic environment. For a company that markets itself as inclusive and empowering, Equinox chose corporate protection over member safety. If you are a woman and expect to be taken seriously when reporting harassment, this is not the place.

My friend and I book open court times at Kings Highway and it is a beautiful club. The courts are…read morewell-lit and clean, and the sitting area and lobby are sooo modern and comfy. The locker rooms while not huge, are also modern and always clean. I take lessons at their nearby sister club, Shippan Racquet Club - but I've seen the elite junior kids play and wow - they blow me away. The courts are usually very busy even up until late at night when we play - so I really love the energy. The parking lot always has plenty of spaces, and I love that they are right around the corner from Trader Joe's and Starbucks.

I highly recommend trying jiu jitsu - and find a place where you feel safe and you find your jiu…read morejitsu "family" - that place for me is Gracie Sports USA BJJ. I started back in 2006 in the original location with Marcio Stambowsky - the master at Gracie Sports. Marcio is an excellent friend and mentor who immediately makes you feel welcome. Professor Deborah, Marcio's daughter also teaches at the academy and brings many years of knowledge and experience. All the teachers there are amazing and the kids program is phenomenal as well. Whenever we are early for class - we watch the little kids roll and fight with the same techniques as the adults - it's great to see the quality of the education! Marcio is an 8th degree coral belt and one of the "Famous Five" black belts under Rolls Gracie. His knowledge is vast and deeply layered; it takes time to see that - but it's worth putting in the time! You can only get better! There are two locations - Norwalk across from Costco, and Fairfield near the shops downtown. Jiu Jitsu really helped me get out of my stagnant routine and "off the couch". I don't know if I would even be here today - I was 300 pounds and constantly had internal pains and health issues. I dropped 60 pounds since then and compete between 238-255. I'm still going strong at brown belt and it's my favorite thing to do - we all need something that is for "us" and sometimes you can share that with family members. I see a few couples train together and even have the kids enrolled. Jiu jitsu is awesome - and Gracie Sports USA is the awesomest! Give it a try - join today!

They are all rock stars in their own right and our family is so incredibly excited to have stumbled into this gem of a BJJ studio. Our son is a 11 y/o hockey player. He has always been looking for his second sport only this time it found him. My husband brought our kid in for a sampler lesson and oh-my-god it was love at first take-down. Instant addiction. This is THE place to be. Every single instructor is so on top of everything. They are awesome possum people who are gentle, informative, interactive, FUN, and everything you could ever want for your kid all rolled into one. I honestly cannot say enough good things about these folks. You can tell they are a family - and they humbly welcome you in. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. And I also wish we had found them sooner!
