This review is specifically for Gonzo Tennis Academy, hosted by Longmont Athletic Club. We've tried out a few kids tennis lessons and coaches in different surrounding cities, but Gonzo Tennis Academy is the BEST. Why? Because for my 5 year old and 7 year old kids, they get bored easily and act up, but Coach Gonzo and his brother Coach Diego are FUN and get the kids hitting! My 5 and 7 year old kids have dramatically improved with their technique in the 1 session we've been here and they always wind up laughing so much during their lesson. They talk to the side line parents for quick 10 second tips and advice during the lesson. Everything is broken down for the kids and easy to understand. We've had "tough guy" coaching techniques before, and they just aren't appropriate for this young age...usually my kids get discouraged with that kind of coach attitude. I travel all the way from Broomfield to Longmont because it's totally worth it and very reasonable prices for (non-member) tennis lessons. Oh, and did I mention lessons are *inside* a tennis bubble? Our last tennis session at Broomfield Tennis and Swim club was outside and we often had to cancel lessons due to poor weather, and I just didn't have the time to make up the lessons on alternative days. That, and my kids just hated the Colorado cold and windy days. They mentally gave up on playing before the lesson. We can play all year long and my boys don't have a huge lull between seasons. It's really the best overall place for little kid tennis lessons! Just don't take my 2 spots from my boys, okay? ;D read more

My son and I were looking for a place to workout for one day as we passed through Longmont. This was the only gym that offered a day pass under 18 and we are so grateful! So many options for weight training- lots of equipment not in our gym at home. We had the best time! read more

I really like that gym, it's super old school gym with hard work vibe. Also there is place for tennis, basketball, football and swimming

Good basic facility with a lot of equipment and good spaces for classes, tennis, etc.. Good people. Don't come for latte's and fruity drinks - just get to work. It's all there. read more

This Gym smells like a combination of BO and sewer. Staff was rude especially the girl receptionist. Amenities that are included in our membership have been broken for over 6 mo w/o compensation. Not worth the money. There are better gyms out there with friendlier workers and working facilities. Equipment is outdated read more

You Either go & get work done or you complain about everything & anything. - This gym has grit, it's for those who enjoying moving heavy weight & with some heavy weight bags you'll be ready to kick some ass, only after a good workout. - In my opinion, the equipment is what it's intended for & good quality for having years on it. - Sauna works, No steam room. Little bummer. - Maybe some old Cardio machines, but I'd have to say a walk or run outside is always better. EVEN IF ITS RANING OR SNOWING.... Maybe you're just not working hard enough to get your heart rate up because essentially that's what Cardio is right... :) read more

I really like this place, most of all for the variety of simulators. The gym is not loaded with people most of the time, which is also very good read more

This is one badass gym you can good a good workout here with all the awesome equipment theyre always adding stuff i love coming here! Definitely not outdated it's all quality equipment people are just afraid to lift some good ol fashioned weights read more

Old, outdated equipment. Dingy, not exactly clean. Assistant manager is rude. Locker rooms are damp, ceiling tiles missing. Pool and hot tub are often out of commission. There is a new Gold's Gym that opened up in the Mall, it is much nicer. read more

I've been going to LAC for several years now. This is NOT the place to go to show off your new pec implants or LuLu tanktop. Nobody cares. This is NOT the place to go to try and pick up women. This is a neighborhood gym sustained by and intended for the middle-class. People come here to train. (Go figure, right?) It has a small town feel and the front desk staff is very nice and accommodating. The spinning instructors are rigorous and some of the best I've seen. The gym is affordable; it has lots of equipment. I am impressed with the breadth of options: battle ropes, weight sleds, boxing equipment, traditional weight-training equipment, spinning, basketball, etc. They run great deals during the summer and winter months for your out of town guests. The negative reviewers seem upset that if you pay coach prices you aren't going to get first-class treatment. This gym's affordability comes at a price - the equipment is old, the building is old, many of the members are, in fact, old. There are better gyms, but not for the price. There are prettier gyms, but not for the price. This gym is like a 2005 Scion with a cracked windshield: not very stylish, but runs great and gets you from A to B as well as that Lexus you're saving up for. read more

I've been a member of the Longmont Athletic Club for 20 years. I love this place. Family friendly, great gym, awesome classes and very helpful, accessible, knowledgeable staff! They are great to work with. Never have had any issues with my club membership! The outdoor pool is clean, relaxing and welcoming to all guests. Love this place!

This is one of those old racquetball clubs that converted some of its space to a gym once the sport became moribund (probably in the1980s). If you've seen one, you've seen them all--turnstile entry, old worn out blond wood, mauve paint, the faint odor of mustiness and eucalyptus, equipment stuffed into rooms that were once courts... I could get past the maze of rooms and aged decor if the equipment were up-to-date, but it's not. Cons: Old cardio equipment (circa 1990s) No current cardio equipment such as stair machines or spin bikes Cardio equipment time limit when others are waiting (15-minute limit!) Crammed "cardio room" Poor ventilation No functional training equipment (kettle bells, medicine balls, bands, sleds, boxes, etc. (I was told what they had was "locked up for my safety") No functional training or designated abs/stretching areas No Freemotion-style cable equipment Random collection of dated free weights Dank, dingy, and musty Pros: The kid that showed me around was nice They do have indoor tennis courts if you like to play I bought their summer deal --12 days for $12. I think 12 months for $12 would be overpriced. read more

I had to post a better review than the 1 that is on here. LAC dose have older equipment, but for those who are serious about the iron know that the older equipment are better. I visit Longmont once a year and am looking forward to next years visit and setting new Colorado PRs read more

Very outdated and unwelcoming for new members. Girl up front unfriendly and scary to approach....but nice cardio room

This is the most expensive gym in the area and it's also the gym where it has no trainers!! Everything is outdated. The cables are old and the Cadio is from the 80's. The staff is quite nice but under a very rude management. The manager Katie is very rude and doesn't care about the costumer. I've had many other people complain that when they cancel their membership she still kept charging them. This gym was great until she took over and now the weights are all over the place and the locker rooms are smelly and VERY unsanitary. Btw food in the fridge will make you sick it's been there for months!! I really recommend going to Golds where it's really friendly and state of the arc machines and they have great trainers about 10 unlike here. I also recommend planet fitness they are about 1/4 the price here and have trainers and pretty good weights they locker rooms are very clean unlike here. I also recommend anytime fitness they have really good weights and trainers and about 1/2 the price here. This gym is over prices now it used to be 30 a month until Katie took over and now it's around 50-60 a month. read more

Outdated equipment and facility - NOT worth the money. I had a Groupon/Living Social deal for a massage, protein shake and day's entrance into the facility. The massage (and therapist) was nice, but not the best I've ever had. More than likely will never join this athletic club. read more

there are many good places as compared to this gym. - outdated/broken equipment - unknowledgable/unhelpful front desk - rude office staff - they will nickel/dime you if you want to freeze or make changes to your membership - be careful for when you sign the contract, as you might not be able to cancel it. read more

I hesitate to be too harsh, since the membership fees are low. LAC West is fine, has good equipment and is perfect for a quick workout. I think it's a decent value. The main club however, is dreary. The locker rooms are very dated and are beyond cleaning. The sauna has graffiti carved into the walls and is aging. There are workout rooms in former squash courts with peeling walls. Even though it is not expensive, it's as though the owners have decided to forgo all but basic maintenance. Although there is an abundance of equipment, some of the equipment is very old. I'm sure it's difficult to know when and how to overhaul a club like this, but it's time. read more

I belonged to LAC for the last 20 years and it has slowly gone down hill. The good instructors left and they started charging extra for some classed. It just got dirtier and more equipment broken all the time. It's sad to watch a health club die. Try Gold Gym it's new and nice and has the latest equipment and it's clean! read more

Do not join if you ever feel you will cancel your membership. They tell you they will take care of the cancellation, then come back and tell you they need a form filled out and this goes around and around while they continue to charge your account. It is impossible to get to an actual person when you call the club. They do not take cancellations verbally which is outdated in today's world nor do they take them via email or their online submission form. Best to just not join in the first place, better options out there. read more
