There is a lot for kids to do like play volleyball or play in the sandbox during adult swim. They have a couple of Gazebos to eat. Armands Pizza comes to the pool weekly with their pizza truck. There is also a weekly raft night which is fun to watch the pool filled with rafts. The pool is never really crowded except the first weekend and 4th of July. There is a 4th of July parade each year in the community that ends at the pool where everyone, even if you are not a member, can attend the pool for the day. On that day, the neighbors grill and all the food is free. And I'm happy that the pool finally got wifi this year!! Yeah! For new people trying to join, expect to be on the waiting list. If you are lucky you can get in the same year, but most times it is at least one full year.

The pool is a nice size with a diving area that has a board and a water slide. It's rarely super-crowded, but there is such a nice community that you almost always run into friends.

Our favorite summer hangout! We love the fact that there is not just the main and wading pools (the…read morespiral slide was the incentive kids needed to pass the swim test!) but also ample grass areas to play soccer and lawn games. Plus one of the nicest sandlot playgrounds around for younger kids. We love volleyball so the sandy v-ball court is great. The natural shade from tall trees is our favorite feature. Plenty of picnic tables and grills . GoWhales! (Swim team)

I had a very unpleasant experience at this LA Fitness location recently that left me feeling…read moreembarrassed and singled out by the manager Stacy. I drove about 30 minutes out of my way that morning to attend a yoga class with Kasturi, which was wonderful and absolutely the highlight of my visit. Unfortunately, the experience I had at the front desk before the class was the opposite. I brought my sister with me as a guest as I've done since 2022. My membership allows me to bring guests, and I've done so before without any issues. However, the manager, Stacy, immediately accused us of sharing a membership. This was not true and was honestly embarrassing to be accused of in front of other people. My sister was asked to sign a liability waiver, which is completely understandable. She simply asked to read the waiver before signing it. When she asked if it could be printed so she could read it more easily, she was told that wasn't possible. When I tried to take a photo of the waiver on the screen so we could read it, I was accused of taking a picture of the staff and was told I needed to leave the gym. I've never had an experience like this at any other location since starting my membership years ago. At one point the manager became visibly angry, slamming items on the desk and aggressively pushing the check-in machine toward my sister. She was extremely aggressive and rude. I was also asked to prove that I hadn't taken photos of staff by showing my phone, which I did. Nothing inappropriate was found. The entire interaction was loud, confrontational, and very uncomfortable. I've been a member of LA Fitness for years and have never experienced anything like this at any location. I've never encountered such a lack of professionalism and display of aggression from a staff member before. Again, the yoga class with Kasturi was great and worth the drive, but the front desk interaction made the start of the visit extremely stressful and embarrassing. I hope management looks into how situations like this are handled in the future, because members shouldn't feel accused or publicly embarrassed when simply trying to check in with a guest.

From the moment we approached the desk, we were immediately accused of sharing a membership, which was completely untrue. The interaction felt confrontational right away. When I was asked to sign a guest waiver, I simply requested to read it before signing and asked if it could be printed. I was told it could not be printed. When we tried to take a photo of the waiver on the screen so I could read it more carefully, Stacy accused us of taking a picture of her and escalated the situation further. She demanded to see my sister's phone, including her recently deleted photos, despite there being no photo of her taken. I tried to assure her that "No one wanted a picture of her on their phone" but she still insisted to see my sister's personal photo archives. Once my sister showed Stacy her photo long, both recent and deleted that's was when she was finally able to move past accusing my sister of taking her photo. The exchange became loud and tense, and items were being slammed on the desk during the interaction. It felt hostile and unnecessarily aggressive for what should have been a routine guest check-in. The yoga class itself was wonderful and worth the drive, but the front desk experience was embarrassing and uncomfortable enough that it overshadowed the visit. I hope management takes steps to ensure guests and members are treated with professionalism and respect.
