Gainesville Kickball can't even manage itself. It's turned into a league with four teams and one…read moreref that can't even explain the same rules twice. Not worth the time and hope a regulated league would be able to support or at least have more than one person to ref their championship games. Swamp Sports is a much better and maintained league for kickball in Gainesville. Truly a let down after years in the league.

Gainesville Kickball is an absolute blast! The league switches days from either Wednesday nights…read moreor Thursday nights. The people are what make this league fun! It may get competitive at times but everyone is out there to work hard and win games. I have played on two teams so far in both Summer A and Summer B. The leagues anywhere from 5 to 6 weeks or in the fall they do 8 to 9 weeks. You play one game each night and the league will send out scheduled to all who sign up. The league is not very expensive and you pay to use the park and for the tee shirts and other stuff. At the end of each season they do a tournament to see who wins. The winners get a trophy as well as get to go on a bar crawl with Florida Fun Bikes. Kickball is so much fun and you really get to know people in the community! I highly encourage anyone to go check it out! I am sure you will have so much fun!

I'll admit, it's been several years since I last went to M2 Battlesports. I've since moved out of…read moreGainesville and out of Florida altogether, but M2 was so memorable that even now, I consider it the gold standard for laser tag. I've been twice--both times, my group did the night games, one outside in a "king of the hill" style, and another in a rescue mission style. Both were fantastic. Do note that these games are rough around the edges. It's no manicured, pinkies-up, gun soiree. Bring bug spray, water, and wear black. Come ready to scrape knees, score bruises, and serve dinner to the 'skeeters (protip: lay that bugspray on thick). The highlights: - the terrains are super fun, interesting, thoughtfully designed, and the time flies. Be careful if you're playing at night because there is shrubbery and hard objects that you can run into (or hide in/behind). - the equipment was great. There were several different types of weapons you could choose, but be aware that most of them are quite heavy. The lightest one was still an arm work-out after running, ducking, and hauling around for an hour. They're also thoughtfully designed, each with their own strengths and drawbacks. My friend who was able to carry the heavy sniper gun, really enjoyed hers because she could shoot without alerting others to her location. - the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing to complain about. M2 is an experience you can't get in big cities with fancy tech and cutting edge facilities. It's a rural, lightly regulated, and no seat-belts kind of good time that you won't want to miss.

i've been a member at Orangetheory for almost 2 years now. I've always loved the instructors…read more They've always brought a really good energy into the sessions. The only problem is with the receptionist at the front. Her name is Jordan. On many occasions her attitude has been absolute trash. She always makes passive aggressive comments. I even tried to get my friend to sign up and while she was getting signed up, she was making passive aggressive comments to both me and her making us both feel very unwelcome. I came to a class today. I got there at 3:20 PM. It's never been an issue in the past, but because it was five minutes and a couple of seconds, she said that she couldn't let me in the class, even though it was only 3:20 PM. I always try to remain very upbeat and positive when I'm communicating with people and she always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. One time I came in three minutes past (which still left me with 2 minute before the window closes) and she told me to run because I only have a few seconds. I will not be talked down to, I will not be condescended, if I were a manager at this location I would have a talk with Jordan and have her fix her attitude or maybe remove her from her position if she's not a people person.

No complaints, really. I came here to both lap swim and to dive. For diving, they have two 1-meter…read moreboards and one 3-meter board. The lifeguards, though young, are very professional and good at their jobs plus prompt to answer any questions. There's ample room for lap swimming plus a children's shallow kiddie pool and another shallow area for people to just splash around if not lap swimming--plus the diving well. Some reviewers have commented on high school swim teams coming here to practice: apparently the deal is for some to come here, some to Westside, some go to UF as well. Until the School Board builds its own aquatics facility (unlikely), that will probably be how things go. (Whereas Jacksonville high schools in contrast have their own swimming pools on site in many cases.) School swim teams need places to practice, so this is a logical solution and I don't see it as impinging much on other patrons. Other reviewers (here and elsewhere) have complained some kids are loud and disrespectful: I did not experience that, yeah, kids can be loud but all I encountered were very polite. The locker rooms: the men's locker room is indeed old, probably original. I did not find it dirty however. Unlike the renovated Westside (Cherry) Pool, it actually has enough lockers to accommodate for two swim teams--or probably more. That's important if you're having meets here. I don't think Westside with its renovations provides that level of locker room space. So, as a diver and swimmer, no complaints here. Yeah, it's not a brand new nor renovated facility but clean and well-run: it meets my criteria certainly.

The racquet club advertises itself as having a pool, weight room, rball courts and tennis courts…read more To be honest, the pool and weight room are mediocre at best, about what you'd expect to find at an apartment complex. The tennis courts aren't anything spectacular but they do seem to be kept in good shape. That being said, I don't use any of those facilities. I only use the rball courts. There are 3 indoor courts housed on the premises that are perfectly usable. But, to be honest they also show signs of wear and tear. The reason it gets 4 stars from me is that it's an available indoor rball court in Gainesville that doesn't require you to have student ID. Which makes it really the only game in town. On top of that, most of the other clients are friendlier older couples or families, so you won't have to worry about a hostile environment. Fees have recently increased from $35/month to $40/month for the rball membership, but I suspect that's because they've recently redone the clubhouse (which actually looks nice). This gives me hope that they actually have plans to update the rest of their facilities as well.

An older, but still perfectly suitable, sports arena that focuses on tennis and racquetball…read more Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of, say, the Student Rec Center or the Southwest Rec Center on UF's campus, but it's still a very good place to learn the basics of the sport--or in my case, to be completely disassembled by a good player. I really DID enjoy losing every match by an average margin of 13 points. Thanks, sweetie :) Membership is $35/month, which to my limited experience with sports dues, seems fairly inexpensive for open access. Members are very friendly. I can't remember the last time so many strangers waved at me!
