If you're looking for an indoor tennis membership, Wheaton Sport Center (WSC) is an excellent…read morechoice. They have friendly staff, efficient service, and adequate facilities and equipment. For our family, WSC serves multiple purposes. My husband is an active tennis player who tries to play at least twice a week. Considering how brutally cold Chicago winters are, it wouldn't be feasible to play outdoors during the winter months. So with WSC, he has been able to find a community of players to play throughout the winter. On the weekends, my husband would give our young girls and cousins private tennis lessons. There are four, all year-round, indoor courts, and eight dome courts for the winter. We have been consistently going every weekend for the last four months and have yet to encounter any availability issues. In addition to tennis, our girls have also joined the swimming lessons. For level 3, there are usually 2-4 instructors. Thus far, we have had a good experience with Ms. Abby, Mr. Christopher, and Ms. Christina. The class size is generally around 8-12 kids depending on attendance. Knowing how young children are, it takes a ton of effort and patience to get them to listen to instructions. Huge kudos to these instructors for having that high-level patience! As for myself, I would utilize the gym equipment such as treadmills, ab machines, and weights. All of the equipment are well maintained and clean. WSC could get busy on the weekends but I have not had trouble with machine availability. All in all, WSC is a solid place for anybody looking for a place to play indoor tennis, have young children who are interested in swimming, and/or just trying to maintain healthy life choices.

They said to allow more time. Followed up AGAIN 3 weeks later after still not hearing anything. I just wanted basic info about private lessons and waited a month with nothing. Called again and told the front desk how long I'd been waiting and they said they'd let the manager know ASAP. I received a text message that evening from Jeff Kramer that came across as very snippy and irritated, saying he never received my form (even though he later found it) etc. No apology for a month long wait. He told me he sent my inquiry to one of the trainers and it's now been another week with no word from the trainer. I'm five weeks in at this point and no closer to arranging a lesson. Unreal.

Its owner and now the sole coach is completely unprofessional and neglects the kids. During a recent two-hour session, my daughter and several others got zero coaching while he hid in the bathroom, chatted on his phone, or played doubles with friends instead of supervising his students, who were left standing around with nothing to do. With only two courts for a dozen kids, most of them just wait endlessly while he plays with adults who aren't even enrolled. When I confronted him, he blamed the children for "standing outside the courts" and told them to "find things to do" because "he's not their babysitter." After requesting a refund for the unused lessons, he promised to process it in two days, then refused--citing bogus excuses about lesson expiration--and blocked my calls, arrogantly declaring he doesn't care about negative reviews and will "fix" them himself. Avoid this shameless, money-grubbing coach at all costs.

I recently visited the court to play badminton with some friends, but our experience was ruined by…read morethe rude behavior of the business owner. They abruptly kicked us out without any proper explanation, leaving us no choice but to leave our workout unfinished. Due to forcing us sharing the court we reserved with other customers while we explained many times that we agree to let other people play, and we understand the situation, but we just need 10 more minutes to finish our game The owner showed a complete lack of professionalism and customer service, and it was extremely disappointing. It's unacceptable for a business to treat their customers in such a disrespectful manner shouting at us without any proper reason. I would not recommend this place to anyone and would advise people to look for alternative options. I personally believe that we were discriminated against by the owner. The environment was not welcoming and the owner's behavior was unacceptable. It's a shame that such negativity ruined what could have been an enjoyable activity.

My son and daughter both play volleyball (at other clubs now), so I'll share my experience on both…read morethe boys and girls side at this club. Boys - My 12 year old tried out at 630 for a national team. His first year playing volleyball. At the tryouts, we were told we need to sign the contract immediately and pay $500 before we leave to hold a spot for him. Uh, HUGE red flag. We tried out at another club and have been very happy there. Girls - My daughter played on a national team. I will confirm what other negative reviews state - limited practice space, lots of wandering around at practice, not practicing enough (4 hours of practice/week for a national team?!? Good luck in those tournaments playing clubs that invest more in their players). I'm giving 2 stars because we did luck out and liked our coach and teammates. (I feel bad for some of these other teams with inexperienced coaches and high turnover.) In the end, it was far from enough, so we switched. Thankfully, there are a lot of great clubs in the area to choose from. My advice is to skip this one.

If your primary interest is basketball, don't bother considering Life Time Fitness as an option…read more This location, and most others, has sacrificed half of the original basketball court space for pickleball. Due to the limited space, you'll regularly end up shooting around with 3 to 5 people on a single hoop. If you do luck into a time when the court isn't overcrowded, you'll have to endure 2 incredibly annoying sounds ad nauseam: the percussive sound of a pickleball being hit every 3 seconds (cuts through noise canceling), and boomer pickleball players screaming after every volley with the intensity of having just witnessed a walk-off grand slam in a World Series game. The final straw was being told to leave the basketball court due to it being reserved as spectator space for pickleball (see photos). Life Time is no longer a viable place for basketball. Like a casino, the current focus is on extracting as much revenue as possible from a demographic that has little time left. Hopefully, the trend fades away in unison with its primary demographic.
