I want to preface this review that I am an extra picky person when it comes to places I like to…read moretake my kids so you might want to take my review with a grain of salt.. We visited for the first time a couple weeks ago for a trial class for both my kids. I picked a day of the week where they could both take a class at the same time. Pros: *the teachers were great! *The kiddy pool that the kids can play in before/after is fun for them. Cons: *it's connected to the gym right behind it and apparently the gym goers get to use the same pool facility. There was a couple weird/creepy looking old men in small swimsuits that were using some of the lanes in the biggest pool, that didn't make me feel comfortable as a mom. *there was a man who was either an owner or manager, he had long hair and he looked like a creepy guy as well, which sets off my mom radar (when you work around kids for a living, you should be very aware of the appearance you put off to parents), I will say he did kindly ask how our class was.. *this place is hot and humid as all heck inside where you sit to be close to your young kids, we only had a 30 minute class but it felt like forever and I was sweating everywhere but the time we left. Just not a good fit for us.

Water Wings treats you like family. Today my son had a substitute instructor, and when we got to…read morehis lesson, my son asked Tony (the manager) if he would teach him today. Tony didn't even blink and jumped into the pool to teach him. My son was so happy! Tony knows all the kids names and is very engaging with parents. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and you see results after just one lesson.

We signed up for swim lessons hoping to nurture my daughter's love of the water. Instead, we ended…read moreup with weekly tears. The program isn't adaptable to the child's needs at all. Instead, they expect very young kids to conform to a rigid teaching style, regardless of how it affects them. I eventually requested to cancel our membership. I hadn't planned to share how disappointed I was, I just wanted to walk away quietly. But when the receptionist pressed for a reason, I calmly explained that it simply wasn't a good fit for my family. Her response? She told me my 3-year-old daughter was "too sensitive." That was not only completely unprofessional, but also incredibly inappropriate. I wasn't asking for feedback. I was trying to protect my child from an environment where the teacher was far too serious for a toddler and clearly not the right match. Swimming should be fun, especially at this age. Period. This place missed the mark, and then doubled down on the failure by dismissing a parent's concern. We won't be back.

When we decided to stop attending, management showed no willingness to offer a refund--instead, they only provided a credit for future use. What they don't make clear is that using that credit later requires paying a new enrollment fee, which feels very misleading. Overall, we're frustrated with both the lack of results and the poor customer service.

Coach Shannon is wonderful. The facility is always super clean, and you can tell there's a lot of care taken in maintaining everything. Communication is wonderful - you're never left wondering if you're missing something important. My only wish is that I would have started sooner.

I signed my boys up for lessons because the reviews were high. Flow Aquatics did not disappoint…read more Communication has been excellent, service is excellent and Piper is awesome! Our kids are normally very shy but felt very comfortable with Piper during their first lesson. I was highly impressed with her ability to engage with them so quickly and earn their trust in the water. I'm so happy that we decided to sign up with Flow Aquatics. Even though it's not the closest option...so worth the drive!!! Thank you for truly caring about our kid's swim experience and teaching them how to be safe near water.

If you are going to have a crowded lesson for only 30 minutes then it needs to be high intensity. Not dunking their head in water, playing with toys and giving high fives. That's for babies who aren't comfortable in the water. A 30 minute lesson with 4 kids in the class gives my kid about 5 minutes in the water. The last 5 minutes of the class is reserved for feedback to the parents and it wastes a lot of time. Speed things up!

Young instructors and lifeguards were not paying attention to my 3 year old while attending lessons…read morethis past summer. While in the kiddie pool, my daughter went into the deep end and she walked out too far and could not reach the bottom. She went under for a few seconds while I watched from afar. This all happened while a lifeguard was standing by and her 2 instructors were in the water next to her talking to each other. I had to yell at them to get their attention and then they slowly came over like it wasn't a big deal. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Totally unacceptable! Do your job!

This is a decent public pool. Plenty of life guards. They change stations about every ten minutes…read moreso as to not become bored with their watch. Very smart! The baby pool (generally for ages 5 and under) is warm and shallow; but the really thoughtful feature is the large umbrellas shading the baby pool. Many babies skin just don't tolerate sunscreen; and these guys get that! They rent out noodle floats for .50 cents because other than wearable floats, floatation toys are not allowed, although you can bring your own water noodle. They also sell candy and quick energy snacks. There is an ice cream shack just outside of the entrance, but you must consume it outside of the pool premises. There is no food (other than the little candy they sell) allowed inside the pool area. I wish they would enforce this a bit more strictly. There are too many times I've stepped on chips, or sandwich crusts from ghetto slobs and their children who can't seem to go a couple hours without food. My real reason for the missing star is they are only open a couple hours at a time. Yes, the admission is very affordable, but the late afternoon hours make it difficult for those of us who like to swim early on the day or make a day thing of lounging by the pool.

Front desk staff was very friendly, courteous, and efficient. It was super easy to redeem my free day pass and didn't need to present anything as I registered online (super easy as well). I took a 30 min cardio sculpt class and a 30 min band camp class in the group X room. Unfortunately I did not get the instructor's name (class schedule is updated in real time online so it's not showing) but she was very cold towards me and not personable as I was the only male in the class and my instincts told me she was not comfortable with that. As for the classes, they were free formatted and just ok (I did work up a decent sweat).

Shapes is an all women's gym with a brand new location in Meridian ID. I signed up with a group of girlfriends last week and have been thanking myself ever since. Shapes has the kindest employees, trainers & management and every single employee who I've interacted with has been super warm, welcoming and engaged with the members who come in. They're so anxious to help and support women and you can tel they genuinely love what they do! I've tried group classes with Cheryl, Marissa and April and all 3 have been phenomenal and upbeat with a contagious, positive approach to leading group classes with ages, bodies and abilities of all types. I've appreciated that all 3 of these teachers have shared modifications for allowing guests to go at either an easier or harder pace, depending on their varying needs. My favorite part of the group classes has been that the workout room has positive affirmations and mantras posted on the walls that are so encouraging and lifting. Who doesn't need to be reminded of their worth as they work hard, making time for themselves! The price is unbeatable for what they offer - gym equipment to run, lift & bike, an infrared sauna, a stocked locker room with showers and essentials, full access to all group classes with a variety of classes and times starting early in the morning and often even having night time classes offered too! So glad I signed up, I've been loving this new gym. No contracts, amazing price - so sign up and give it a shot, cancel if it doesn't work for you. Thanks Shapes for providing women with a supportive place to move, become and enjoy
