I would give 5 stars just on the quality of my personal trainer, Benaisha Doctor. She does an…read moreexcellent job of thoughtfully planning workouts that took my physical issues into account, making every session both safe and effective...much more so than other trainers I have had through the years. She's a great coach; kept me on track, always cheerful, positive, and motivating. This became something to look forward to, instead of dreading it, making it very helpful in meeting my goals. Membership here does require a long-term commitment and swimming around full team schedules. I like the personal feel of the gym; the lap pool is warm enough for me; and the outdoor area is GREAT for families. It's not a new facility, but the equipment is well maintained and there are a variety of exercise classes.

I asked Denice Adrian, who is the Assistant General Manager, Director of Sales if I could just pay…read moreto take water aerobics classes because I am disabled and on SSDI. She flat out told me no. That basically have to pay almost $1,000 for their membership and the about $54 to $200 a month in addition to. They don't just allow people to just sign up and pay per water aerobics classes package or per class. I am trying to find places close to home that do indoor and outdoor water aerobics to be active. And not having luck. But don't go to Granite Falls Swim & Athletics in Rolesville! What a joke and way too expensive!!

Small community pool only for Caddell Woods residents and their guests. It's pretty small, there's…read moreno deep water, so no diving or slides, no lanes to swim in, and no shade other than some umbrellas, no shade at all over the water. Can be extremely crowded on weekends and during the summer when kids are out of school, with no adult-only swim times, and no lifeguard on duty. So a bit of a perk if you live there, but tends to be mostly used by families with kids, that are happy just splashing around and playing in the water.

Love love love it here. I have attended a birthday party here with my child and for the past couple…read moreof months have had my child in the swim classes. I really like this facility and it's always clean. Staff is super friendly. Only thing i will say is it's kind of chilly in there and i wish the swim classes had even more offerings.

Buffaloe Road Aquatic Center is a public mini indoor water park with waterslides, a lazy river and…read morelap lanes located within Raleigh Park's Buffaloe Rd Athletic Park. It is open year round. You can also rent it out for birthday parties. This is an affordable option for families who cannot afford the large theme parks. I paid $4 per child for admission. The staff was professional and worked hard to keep track of abiding by capacity rules by using a system similar to restaurant reservations where you receive a text message when it's your swim time. There was a Hour and 15 min wait for the Memorial Day holiday. We remained in the waiting area which has a television for kids to enjoy a movie while waiting. My daughter loved the large yellow slide and whirl pool. We intend to visit again. Loved how professional the front desk staff and life guards were. A must do when in Raleigh.

So glad Jessica teaches, aerobics, core exercise. Tuesdays…read moream. And Thursdays. Check out the schedule. Also power house at milbrook . Thanks Jessica

Optimist is a great community center for indoor pickleball. They have 3 courts for open play and a…read moregood variety of hours open. The bathrooms and parking are good and the staff are nice. I took classes here with Ken and Tom and learned a lot. I will keep returning.

Ive now been coming here for 3 years and have held off on reviewing until now. This place is…read moregreat! They understand how to run a pool with cleanliness, simple/con-complicated/fun-first rules. The members walk the line perfectly between being fun for adults and staying family friendly. The members keep a 3rd eye on other kids. Profanity isnt heard in music ever. Canned beer is welcomed, but nobody drinks too much. They have a great diving board. Guests are welcomed for a reasonable fee that keeps it fun and attracts new members long term. Only reason I went 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is ready for a facelift. I will keep coming back for years to come.

first off, i want to highlight my experience with Toni, one of the personal trainers. i came in…read moreand he was doing a 1 minute plank = 5 minutes of stretching session. max 3 minutes. he displayed professionalism throughout my session with him. i've been a member at life time in the past in another state and had a great experience. this location is just as good, if not better. staff are friendly and helpful and the gym has a lot of amenities. the weight room can get packed during peak hours but they are closed until midnight which is nice for anyone who chooses to workout late. they have towels, shampoo, mouth wash, hair spray, hair dryers, shaving cream and razors, and deodorant in the locker rooms. the price is definitely worth it if you use the amenities.

Lately, this gym has experienced a concerning increase in security incidents. On June 29, virtually…read moreevery locker in the locker room was reportedly broken into, and cash was stolen from multiple members, including me. Based on the damage I personally saw, there were wood chips and an indentation on the locker door that made it appear it may have been forced open with a crowbar or similar tool. Previous reviews have also reported vehicles being broken into in the parking lot, making the overall security situation even more alarming. What is even more frustrating is the lack of communication and accountability. The situation was handled very poorly. Emails go unanswered, and corporate has been extremely difficult to reach or get any meaningful response from. After an incident involving so many members, I expected much better communication and support instead of feeling like everyone was left to figure things out on their own. Members should be able to work out without worrying about having their cash or valuables stolen in broad daylight. This facility needs stronger security measures, better monitoring of the locker rooms and parking areas, and more visible security personnel. If security is not improved and management does not start taking these incidents seriously, I will no longer be a member. It is unacceptable to allow members to be repeatedly robbed while their concerns are ignored
