I like this gym, it's a bit more like a club than purely a gym, but I don't really use the club…read morefacilities so the gym part is what I'm reviewing here. No tennis, no pool, no snack bar. Anyway, there are three key things for me when it comes to a gym. First is cleanliness, second is shower facilities, third is equipment. AVAC is a relatively small gym and I tend to go at off hours. This means not many people, so thankfully it's very clean inside. If you think about a 24 Hour Fitness or similar, they have hundreds of people constantly working out, there's no way to uphold hygiene standards. AVAC, despite being small, has frequent cleanings happening, which is nice. The showers at AVAC are... okay. On the plus side, they provide towels, which is a dealbreaker for me. Who wants to bring their own towel to a gym? So that's a big convenience factor. The towels have been bleached and washed to the point they are marginally more absorbent than copy paper and quite rough, but I guess a towel is a towel. The showers themselves are workable but not ideal. Communal in nature, which I personally find awkward, but going at off hours at least allows me to have them to myself or only 1-2 others at most. If it was packed I'd probably wait, it's just too weird. The shampoo and body wash are not very high quality, kind of reminds me of what you'd get at a cheap motel. But again, at least it's there. I also don't want to cart my own soap around. For the gym's size, the equipment variety and quantity is good. I've never not been able to get a treadmill, I've always been able to get the free weights I want, and there are usually benches available. The only thing in short supplies are squat racks, of which there are two, and space for deadlifts, which is basically also two. I would say the gym's clientele leans towards... not people doing those types of exercise. So I haven't typically had to wait, but again I also don't go at peak hours. There are also tons of machines, if you're the type of person who thinks isolation exercises are good. Better than nothing I suppose, but that's just me. AVAC offers a lot of free classes, of which I've taken none. They also have a snack bar, which I've never used. There's also a pool (not the swim school pool which is like 2.5' high) and a kiddie pool outside, neither of which I've been in. And there are tennis courts and pickleball and some outdoor fitness area, which, you guessed it, I have never been to. I wouldn't say AVAC is a destination gym the way Bay Clubs are, but if you're closeby it's probably the best one around. They also have plenty of parking in back in two lots.

We toured some other facilities but we really enjoyed the small vibe of AVAC. Not to mention my wife was able to get a barnacles class with the other moms from her New Mom School into one class for the babies. After barnacles we moved our son into the starfish class with Miss Kristina had he has loved it. He loves going every week and playing in the water and he's definitely gotten a lot more comfortable being in the pool. We've now been able to take him to our local cabana pool as well as a hotel pool and he's been great. I couldn't recommend the beginner swim class enough to get your kids comfortable with being in a pool. Once we are able to figure out his daycare schedule, we will be back for more classes in teh afternoon!

5 Stars - Exceptional Service & Quality Work!…read more We had an amazing experience with Ben from Baby Barrier Pool Fence. From start to finish, he was professional, prompt, and incredibly knowledgeable. As an owner-operator, Ben clearly takes pride in his work -- and it shows. He walked us through all our options, explained the installation process in detail, and helped us find the best layout for our pool area. The fence looks great, feels incredibly secure, and gives us so much peace of mind knowing our little one is protected. Ben was on time, courteous, and left everything clean dustless spotless after the job was done. You can tell he really cares about families' safety and doing the job right. Highly recommend Baby Barrier and Ben if you're looking for top-tier quality and service. One of the best decisions we've made for our home and our 5 grandkids safety!

I pursue fitness backed by research and science -- and I also want to find joy in movement! This is precisely what I've experienced at Yogasource classes as a member for years.

Each workout room has incredible lighting and all the best equipment you could possibly need. Arrive early to grab a parking spot and stroll in and enjoy the wellness-spa vibes. The instructors are top notch, well trained, personable, and passionate about their work. I highly recommend their Yoga Teacher Training and any of their workshops - they are worth every penny on top of the regular membership. Visit Yogasource if you want the best of the best.

They are incredibly organized and work around the clock for you. I created a Pinterest board and asked Erica to help choose the materials that were within my budget but achieved the same look and she did an amazing job. There were things I added that were not in the plans like a window seat, etc that they were determined to figure out how to do for me without charging more- they don't nickel and dime where reasonable. Sure we had some bumps along the way. You'd be naive to do a remodel and not think there would be no matter how organized you are. But they always worked through it with us and sincerely wanted us to be happy. And that's the thing - I always felt their sincerity in wanting us to be happy. They understood that we were pretty much sinking everything we had in this remodel and thus really helped us to achieve our dream home. Ron was incredible at working through challenging situations- working through ways to resolve. But I'll say the ultimate test is after moving in. This is where I'm even more convinced we chose the right builders. Anything and I mean anything we see that needs fixing they do not question or hesitate and immediately send someone over to address. It's been incredible and gives me peace of mind. Even years from now I think if something comes up they wouldn't hesitate to assess. They have such integrity and back up their work. They feel like family. Because they are so efficient, if you use them. You need to make sure you can make decisions quickly and have a general idea of what you want upfront. I took a leap of faith with them as their bids were not nearly as detailed as any other though as competitive. I'm so glad I did!
