This includes wonderful trainers who can take you from zero to hero as far as someone who NEVER works out, to someone who can develop a fitness routine. Programs: Lots of great programs like Tennis-In-No-Time, swim lessons for kids, and as I said before, great trainers you can book to achieve your personal goals. Tons of equipment to choose from in a bright, open space. Some regulars you can get to know and learn techniques from. CONS: Pool area feels too "open". Don't need peep windows all around the pool. I felt weird swimming in there so I never did. Close it off. Management change up/corporate vibe. Don't let you even hold your account for a month now (even though they used to). It's a pricey, luxury gym with clients that pay more to get more so making people jump through tons of hoops to hold a month for travel, work, etc doesn't gel with that vibe. If you give a months notice this should allow plenty of time to adjust staffing. You have to pay extra for a lot of stuff, so in order to use a lot of what really makes a gym like this worth the extra $ in the first place, you have pay EVEN MORE. Otherwise you are mostly utilizing equipment, classes, and such that you can get at other gyms for way less.

The Shot of The Week class on Saturday afternoon is fun and will cost $30 My problem is with the sales staff. The sales woman I dealt with was not professional.

The manager, Brad, has many years experience on the premise and knows how to make it a comfortable experience for most everyone who visits. The board has done a great job of spending limited funds where they are most effective. The end result is just a nice place to spend a couple hours, or more, a couple of days, or more, a week. One of the new additions this year is D'Cappos providing food from the "snack" deck. The everyday provisions are fine and the add ons during the weekend are fantastic!! Jerry brings high end restaurant food to the little shack on the snack deck. Tonight I took Cavatelli with a light white garlic and fresh squash sauce and a delicious Bruchetta home. Can't do that at any other pool I've ever been to. Where did that come from?? The board made another good decision from my point of view. We are very glad we stuck it out over the years and we hope there are many good years to come. Paul & Ann Sassano

Over all I am impressed with the drills and what my son is learning. I will most likely choose this club for my son in the fall since our local club, Courts Plus, no longer has any pros certified to teach tennis.

Strange day out here at Windswept Fields for Richie Tenenbaum…read more He's playing the worst tennis of his life. There's obviously something wrong with him. He's taken off his shoes and removed one of his socks... and actually, I think he's crying. :::abridged excerpt from Royal Tenenbaums::: So I don't know a whole heck of a lot about tennis. In fact, beyond the outfits, that there are racquets involved, and that John McEnroe is f*cking hilarious- I'm pretty much clueless. But in the spirit of adventure I accompanied a small but spirited group to the Hinsdale Racquet Club to watch the Univerity of Illinois (Chicago) square off against the University of Chicago in doubles and singles matches. The Hinsdale Racquet Club is the home facility for the UofI team and seemed to be a pretty nice place to whack a few felty neon yellow balls around. The club itself isn't huge, but it's big enough that you can't see what's going on on each court from the front side viewing area. Divided into 2 sides (right and left) with 4 courts each, there can be a lot going on at the same time and it can be difficult for a person such as myself to stay focused on the game at hand. I thought the facilities were great- maybe due mostly in part to there being a nice big indoor fireplace, comfy seats, free tampons (in a pink tin that says 'little princess' on it- photo attached), and all the tea and coffee with flavored creamer you could ask for. These are the kinds of things that win me over. As for the rest of the Tennis veterans, I heard small grumblings about the viewing area here vs other clubs where spectators have an elevated area (like you'd imagine there'd be in a surgical room for overhead observing) to take in the tennis sights. I can imagine how that would be a nice feature to have - or at least a bit better than what HRC has going on right now where one side of the facility has a giant fireplace, flat screens, large tables and plenty of room for sitting where the other side has only 4 chairs and a coffee table between the entryway to the courts and bathrooms and also has an obstructed view with the glass paneling only running about 15 feet into the court. So, not the most ideal there. And like I said, I don't know squat about tennis but as an onlooker, this place seemed just fine and fairly hospitable given the free beverage situation. So on that note, I'd like to leave you with a few of my favorite McEnroe moments... God, I love this man!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Nyc9jzSDg&feature=related

A mom-of-two's (a toddler and preschooler) straight-forward review -…read more I am uncertain of the official name. It seems like the two names, Oakbrook Terrace and Heritage Park, are used interchangeably. Nonetheless, this was a random discovery when I was browsing Google Maps for playgrounds to check out and it is a definite keeper! The park is quietly tucked within a neighborhood. So far we have visited twice in the morning and there were very little people to share the space with. Although I would like the social factor and enjoy the bustle with running and laughing children, but the quietness is particularly beneficial to my firstborn's short attention span. It allows her to stay focused on her tennis lessons with her daddy. The tennis courts are well maintained and within walking distance of the playground. It is easy for us to toggle between the two. The playground appears to be recently renovated. There is a small section for toddlers and larger section for older kids. The space is well divided so the younger children can stay in their area without feeling intimidated. The flooring for both sections is a mix with some parts having wood chips and others having rubber. The rubbery ground is a uphill and down slope climb and it was a great way for my girls to run up and down to expense their endless energy. Otherwise, there is also the typical playground equipment such as slides, climbing ropes, ladders and spirals, and monkey bars. Side note - This playground is incredibly close to Frankie's Deli which is a favorite of ours!
