Very disappointed all around. When my daughter was 8 months I purchased 6 lessons for her. After…read moretwo of which she cries the entire lesson i decided we would call it quits and explained to him I didn't want her to get a bad feel for the water and we would just give up for now. Never even asked for a refund for the 4 other classes. Fast forward now my daughter is 3 1/2 and I have a 2 years old. Purchased 6 lessons for each for about $1200. When I asked about bringing their puddle jumpers he confidently said no you can throw them away as if they would never need them again after 6 lessons. That's a joke. The one instruction seems bored to tears and annoyed when my toddlers didn't follow exact Instructions and even said she couldn't wait to leave so she could go get drunk. Yesterday's lesson she had a face full of make up on and was annoyed her eye liner was running! Also the male instructor who I will say was incredibly sweet with my 2 year old was constantly being corrected by the other instructor as if he wasn't trained properly. Today was the last lesson and god forbid dad forgot a swim diaper for my toddler. He went to two stores and couldn't find any so she had to miss the lesson. The instructor said bc she peed through her diaper outside the pool the day before she had to have one on... swim diapers don't trap pee! So we lost an entire lesson bc of a swim diaper. The owner stated he had to pay the instructor so tough luck pretty much.. well if that's the case then that instructor should have stayed and helped with my older daughter instead she left! So now I've paid for a total of 5 classes I didn't use! Pretty poor way to do business in my opinion! And my older daughter who finished all 6 lessons certainly still needs her puddle jumper! Waist of alot of money!

Staff told me I am allowed to bring my two year old with me and since it has been colder here it is a great activity her and I can engage in. I mostly utilize the cardio and weight room. For the cardio room if they had another stair master that would be awesome! Sometimes I have to wait to get on it. The weight room is great in my opinion a lot of motivation in there and usually never over crowded unless a holiday is coming up. Next is the locker room, Not bad at all. Theirs a Spanish women whose usually in there making sure its tidy and shes amazing . I, for the most part am in the gym extremely early so shes the first human I interact with for the day and always a great conversation and very polite. Lastly is the daycare AT FIRST the very first time I left my daughter I felt like it was a huge inconvenience to the staff members in there. My kid can be a cryer so I understand(to an extent, toddlers cry) but she maybe wasn't in there 7 or so minutes and they came to get me while I was in the WR they said she won't stop crying and if she continues I'd have to leave. I quickly followed the female and I didn't let my daughter know I was there at all i heard no crying, just saying sometimes you have to give kids a few minutes calm down plus she's a toddler... the second time I went to drop her off it was the same thing. Though she didn't really cry but the child care staff didn't seem they wanted to be there and did not greet me just rudely asked if i brought snacks. I rushed my entire work out cause i felt uncomfortable leaving her with people who seemed like they did not want to be there BUT the third time i brought her there with my husband it was a whole different atmosphere! Completely different, every person was in a better mood and extremely polite .. they said they give 15 minutes and if the child doesn't stop crying THEN they get you which is waaay longer then when they first got me. Maybe, possibly this should be how the child care staff should be all the time and not flip flop. I don't know which service I will get once time to the next the days I do come later in the day and bring my child. I really hope my husband being with me wasn't a changing variable in the way treatment went. You pay extra a month to have the consistent service so their should be the same consistent customer service to follow . Which is why I gave 4 stars instead if 5 but very much so willing to re review in 6 months if it all improves ! The place is great though! Great price and all except those two minor hiccups. Also in the child care room (I don't remember her name) she is white with shoulder length brown hair. When ever shes there I feel extremely comfortable leaving my daughter in her care! Best one in the room. When I come back to re review i'll definitely throw her name in there and the locker room woman! And their is a male with collar bone length dreads he has outstanding customer service as well!
