Week 2 the coach quit and no…read morenotification was provided from the center so it was strange the next week when we didn't know what was happening. Then our team was combined with a year older group and it was clear that 1 the teenage coach couldn't handle the younger age group alone and 2 that the age disparity was a problem. On the bright side I do think that the games they use to teach the kids are good for skill building. The facility is not great, it definitely needs some love, bathrooms are runs down and honestly just not cleaned. Finally, seems weird to me that the jersey isn't included with the registration and they don't offer preorder so when they came in they ran out so not every kid could get one. From an organization standpoint just seems like a poor way of operating. Nothing makes a kid feel like not apart of the team like everyone having a jersey but you.

Not enough chairs. Overpriced mediocre snack bar.

George Mason University Recreation Center comes close to offering everything students and faculty…read morecould possibly need. This is my third visit for the purpose of attending the Virginia High School State Swimming Championship. Parking can be a challenge for visitors depending on timing. There is a lot of close surface parking. The lot was overall pretty clean with minor debris. The building although dated to the early 70's is in great condition. The majority of the facility is for the GMU competition pool. It was fully renovated in the past 15 years. The primary pool and diving well is for George Mason Swim and Dive team practice and competition. However, faculty and students can use the pool. They also have a Masters swim group that uses the competition pool. The spectator area is extremely compact, but spans the entire length of the pool and well. A 25 yard training pool is also offered. A nice size tiled in hot tub, sauna and fitness room is on the same level. The Olympic size competition pool is 50 meters with movable bulkhead, platform diving and well. The aquatic complex consist of approximately 145,000 gallons of swimming capability. The Long Course pool has eight lanes for competition. What I did not see was indoor basketball courts. However, they do have multi purpose areas in the building. They also have offices and classrooms. The locker room area is somewhat small, but was pretty clean. There were two malfunctioning items. A sink was closed off and a non flushing urinal. Day passes are offered to visitors for $10. This covers the entire pool and fitness areas in the building. 3.5 rounding down.

The GMU Field House is a nice break from the Aquatic and Fitness Center (AFC) where everyone else…read moregoes. I think it is safe to assume the Field House is where most of the people playing sports for GMU go. The Field house is open to all students and AFC members but this place is for serious athletes only! You won't see dudes with tons of hair gel and girls caked up in tons of make up here (unlike at the AFC.) You also won't see many machines here. There's a huge weight room, in and outdoor track, and four indoor multipurpose courts. There probably is a little more than what I've mentioned because I usually hit up the weight room with one of my friends then leave. If you end up going to a GMU athletic building you won't be disappointed!

One of my…read morepickleball friends reached out to me to join her softball team that consisted of other pickleball players. Most of us hadn't played softball before. I was learning new rules every game. Some of the rules are complicated for sure. We were on the Wednesday league. Most of the regular season games were washed out due to rain almost every Wednesday (unbelievable). They made up some of our games in the end with double headers. They have nice refs each game. Great sportsmanship from almost all the players. We knew we would be getting rings for winning the championship. However, after we won the finals, there was no ring and no email for two weeks. We spoke with players from the advanced league and they informed us that the league operators must have forgotten as they give out the rings immediately after the conclusion of the finals. I reached to their help desk team and sent them our finals report. We received a response with the instructions on how to get our rings and champs t shirt. Rings are awesome. Fits my middle finger and it's nice and heavy. Absolutely worth it. I wish they had given it to us on the finals day as we could have had a nice team picture.

Our tour guide was great at explaining the history of the house and all the people who lived here. She explained the uses of each room and what was authentic. There was a small, old-fashioned classroom (since they educated local children) and an upper floor with a bunch of spinning equipment they show off more on field trips. Our tour group had about 6 people, so it was quiet and easy to ask questions if we had them. It was a nice little site and window into life in the 19th century.

I have been a member of this gym for several years, but unfortunately, the quality of management…read morehas significantly declined under Mr. Love. I recently had a very concerning experience after leaving an honest negative review. Mr. Love called me directly, and instead of addressing my concerns professionally, he was dismissive and made me feel guilty for speaking up. During that conversation, I explained ongoing issues: limited access to equipment due to overcrowding and frequent classes, the steam room often being closed without any posted cleaning schedule, and staff behavior that can feel rude and unwelcoming. None of these concerns were taken seriously. A week ago, I experienced another incident. As I entered the steam room with three other members, we were abruptly told to leave because it was being cleaned. There was no prior notice or posted schedule, and the staff member handled the situation in a very rude and inconsiderate way, despite the fact that we were already undressed and ready to use the facility. Following this, I spoke with a manager, Beth Douglas, to share my concerns. From the beginning, she labeled me as "agitated" and "difficult," which was both unprofessional and dismissive. I was not even offered a seat during the conversation while both she and the maintenance manager remained seated, which made the interaction feel uncomfortable and disrespectful. Instead of addressing the issue, I was told to consider finding another gym. After informing them that I was recording the conversation (due to being labeled unfairly), my membership was terminated. I also attempted to contact corporate to escalate these concerns but was unsuccessful. After reading other reviews, it appears that similar complaints about management and staff behavior have been raised by others, with little to no action taken. It is disappointing that a gym at this price point fails to provide not only consistent access to amenities but also basic customer respect. A gym should be a welcoming place that supports well-being and stress relief, not one that creates additional frustration. I cannot recommend this location based on my experience.

The grounds are amazing--surrounded by trees and rolling hills, with a vineyard nearby that really adds to the atmosphere. On a nice day, it definitely gets busy--almost every picnic table was taken when we visited--but there was still plenty of seating inside and on the patio. They had a food truck on site, and you can also order charcuterie platters at the counter. I liked that you can bring your own picnic too (just no outside alcohol). They are also dog-friendly! I was a little surprised to see so many kids, but thankfully parents were keeping a close eye on them, so it didn't take away from the experience. There's a solid selection of wines available by the bottle or as tasting flights, so it's easy to find something you like. Tastings at the bar with a wine educator are a nice touch, though they can be a bit limited if the place is really crowded. The only downside was that they seemed a bit short-staffed during, so tables weren't cleared as quickly as they could be. That said, there are plenty of trash cans and bottle bins around, so it's easy enough to help keep things tidy. Overall, a great place to unwind with friends, enjoy some wine, and soak in the scenery--just be prepared for crowds on nice days!
