In the space given we were able to fit 17 tables 1 candy table 4 tables for food 1 game table 1 table for the expecting parents 10 tables for the guest to sit There was a stage were the DJ set up and the gifts were lined along the stage. There was plenty of parking on the side of the building as well as where the playground is. If the weather was nicer the kids would be able to run around outside as well. I definitely recommend this place for your next event, whether it be a birthday party, baby shower or any other family event you wont he disappointed.

We've been going to the Roger Carter Center for many years. The gym/workout area is basic, but…read moreadequate. Parking can be a nightmare, especially on the weekends, as there are few spaces available on the street level and the parking garage is small and located far from the main entrance. If a piece of equipment is broken or out of order (including fans), it usually takes weeks before repairs are affected. The biggest problem at the center, though, is the lack of rule enforcement by staff. Some gym goers seem to believe that this is their own personal gym and think nothing of dangerously modifying the equipment, turning the room fans off or physically moving them to meet their own personal comfort, talking on cell phones, playing music or videos audibly, remaining on aerobic equipment beyond the 30-minute limit, scrolling on their phones for 10 minutes or more between sets, entering the building from the 3rd floor and not bothering to check in at the front desk (are these people even members?), and on and on. Prior to the pandemic, there was a staff member positioned on the 2nd floor workout area who monitored the space. Since that time, staff presence on the 2nd floor is minimal or non-existent, and most staff members seem content to sit in their chairs at the front desk, staring at their cell phones. I realize it is a $16/hour job, but can they not show a little initiative and make the rounds to ensure that members are adhering to the rules, especially when it comes to cell phone use and dangerous gym practices on the floor? This situation is becoming untenable, as members are forced to either confront gym goers who are exhibiting bad etiquette themselves, or alert someone at the front desk (which, at least the two times I did went this route, yielded zero results).

I cannot recommend this place enough if you love dogs and concerts, it is THE perfect pre-game…read morespot! We stopped in before several shows recently, without a dog, and had the best time. The drinks are good, the space is super cool, and they keep it SO CLEAN. The staff, who all appear to truly love their jobs and working with the dogs, are constantly on the move cleaning up messes, sanitizing the ground, and changing water bowls and pools. Great for sports as we got to see some of the World Cup as well! Overall, my new favorite spot in Columbia, will be making this a regular stop before and Merriweather shows.

Where do I begin. I…read morerecently endured an extremely anxiety-inducing situation at the Supreme gym facility where another member (picture is included) nearly physically assaulted and verbally abused me. The employees at this location sided with the hostile gym member (later on in the altercation the gym member made it obvious that she has an external friendship with the supervisor, Sarah Claunts). Sarah Claunts, the day time gym supervisor, spoke to me in a condescending and sarcastic manner while I explained to her the situation. Long story short: I played music softly (emphasis on softly because the volume was less than halfway on) while warming up in an open workout studio. The hostile gym member was on the opposite end of the room doing their workout. As soon as they heard my music, they immediately started screaming "NO NO TURN YOUR MUSIC OFF I AM NOT GOING TO HEAR IT". Considering the individual was so hostile, I ignored them and turned my music down. The individual then began to approach me while saying "IM SPEAKING ENGLISH DONT YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH?! TURN IT OFF". At this point, the individual was now hovering over me while I sat on the ground, all while they clenched their fist and screamed so aggressively I even felt spit come out of their mouth. I explained this situation to the staff, even recorded the situation, and all they could say was delete the footage and don't play music or record ANYTHING/ANYONE in our facility. I immediately sent an email to Columbia association explaining and they could not even apologize for the way I was treated. All they asked was to speak on the phone. I said I wanted to speak through email and they did not want to continue investigating this matter. Attached are photos of the obvious hostile member and how close they were to hitting me. I don't know how else to go about this matter besides warning other people to avoid Columbia in its entirety. I blocked the individuals eyes to protect their identity. Columbia Association should be the entity held accountable for this.
