I wish I could recommend this business, because the members are stellar. I joined in november for…read moreone month and paused my membership due to a month long work trip and the passing of an immediate relative. The owner Emlynn, (whom i never trained with) was responsive to my request to pause and resume when I was back in town, I notified her of this date 12/15. She charged my card without my consent on 12/13 and did not notify me either. I was disappointed to learn of this on my statement several weeks later. I notified Emlynn of my cancellation via text (her preferred comms) and she processed the cancellation. She however refused to refund my month paid $180 for no service. In my contract the membership cancellation policy stands when member has attended 3 months of membership. As i did not attend the gym for more than one month I am unsure how this contract still stands. I am both disappointed and upset by my experience with Emlynn, as membership retention and good business is not the interest of this business owner.

This place is a GREAT place to work out:…read more The instructors really get to know their clients, and they remember your needs and skill level. The classes are small, & the equipment is the highest quality(includes reformers, springboard, and TRX), so your workouts can be modified depending on your needs. Its super easy to sign up for classes/manage your gym calendar; all done online, but I've also been able to be squeezed in a class by calling at last minute. The gym is super clean and has friendly relaxed vibe. And there's loads of parking. I've been a member for a few months. I have done pilates at other studios, but somehow this one is very different. I'm amazed at how accommodating the owner is. There's no contacts or joining fees, you can sign up for a package or a monthly membership. After my first class I decided to get a gold membership. I justified the expense to myself, by saying to myself, "If you can shrink a pants size, you will have saved money by fitting back into the multi jeans you payed to much money for." I was right. I'm more toned than I have been in years. Also other people have noticed and made comments. Feels awesome.

One thing about Swell is that it really is incredible clean and spotless, they have porters constantly cleaning the machines, locker rooms and rooms for classes. The staff couldn't be any nicer. It has all the equipment you will need, a ton of classes, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, outdoor pool. I can't rave enough about Swell. I think for what you get it's well worth the money.

They really take the time to make sure you're doing the moves correctly. They actually care about your progress and want you to improve!! The beautiful building is just the cherry on top. Ignore the review from the lady below (Julie V.) who gave a 1 star without actually attending a class lol.... She has no clue what she's talking about. Typically on the online schedule on this business' website the Reformer: Level 1 class this reviewer is referring to tends to start @8:00am then ending @8:50am. Unfair to leave a 1 star review because you show up late lol. Anyways! This is the spot to come to for the highest quality pilates instruction.

Management is highly responsive & cares about member experiences. The outdoor workout space is incredible and the group fitness instructors provide higher quality instruction than at many other gyms. Secondary benefits include: yummy food, member events that are family-friendly, high quality and offered at a reasonable cost. Their parties are my favorite to attend by far. The pool is overcrowded during summer months, but there are plenty of alternate activities at the club to make up for this. COAC is our home away from home.

I was standing there with an infant child and the man on the other side kept saying hey we got a new recruit. You don't look like us because they were Caucasian and they said for us to go to the Pickleball Court Side because they were tennis players and they hate pickle ball people, and then he kept saying that the infant child does not look like one of the players. We just then said that we don't play both sports that we're just looking but either way they're loud at 7 AM all the way until 9 PM. I feel sorry for the people that live close by hopefully they find a solution for Trash that comes by the neighborhood. Another thing is that golf is actually way better than these sports.
