I have always had positive experiences at Memphis Sports Academy during the many years I have been…read moregoing. It is a tennis center that offers private lessons, group clinics, and/or rented court time for anyone from beginners to high-level competitive players. The teaching pros, Omar and Walid, are friendly and professional and most importantly they are excellent coaches, having many decades of experience between them. They will provide the beginner/casual player with a solid fundamental base, but they just as effectively coach advanced players (their resumes include many very successful players, including professionals.) The atmosphere is very laid-back despite the high level of expertise and is free of the snobbiness one encounters in most tennis academies around the city. The building, adjacent to an indoor soccer facility, houses several courts and also includes a weight room with both machines and free weights. They also charge no membership fees, a rarity in the tennis world, and are very reasonably priced, especially compared to other tennis centers in the area. It is located at the southern edge of the Central Gardens neighborhood in Midtown. All in all, the Memphis Sports Academy is an excellent choice for any level of tennis player wanting top-notch instruction without the financial commitment or stuffiness of most other such facilities.

After a long series of coaches, Walid taught me to breathe (air=stamina), and to push beyond what I…read morethought were my limits. He paired me with young, promising players to teach them that sometimes, trickery and deceit could beat speed and strength. The kids gave me humility and respect.

This park is HUGE. It is spread out over 373 acres. You will find this park just outside of…read moredowntown. It has tons of parking available is is home to a 1-mile paved loop trail, shelters, lots of green space, and a lake. They also claim that the 18-hole golf course, Memphis Botanic Gardens (separate admission cost), and Leftwich Tennis Center are park of the park as well. Some sections of the park were closed while I was there, but I still got to see a large portion. The lake is decent and has benches and picnic tables along its permitter for visitors to sit. The area is pretty well shaded. I am not sure if it is stocked or not but there were quite a few people fishing there during my visit. I did not see anyone pull anything though. The park is home to some public art sculptures and is part of the national Cancer Survivor Plaza Program. The area I was in had tons of green space. It could be suitable for most field activities including flying a kite, playing football, having a soccer game, or picnic. There was a man using the space as a golf ball driving range while I was there. There are a lot of organized walks hosted at this park. It is a perfect park for this activity. The park's managers tout this place as being perfect for fitness and relaxation and I agree with them. This is a possible destination park, depending on what you are looking to do. I recommend it for novice golfers, hikers and those looking to relax.

Improperly labeled as St. George's Schools- the correct name is St. George's Independent School…read more This review is for the Collierville campus that houses the middle and upper school. The school is set on the edge of a wildlife reserve, and was built amongst swampy forest, with wildlife and plenty of trees to set a scene respectful of education and nature. The athletics at this school are obviously a priority. The fieldhouse is large and contains not one, but two gyms, workout space, ample locker rooms, and more. Our children take swimming lessons at the covered pool- also at the pool is where Memphis Thunder swim team practices. swimpoolschool.com for more info. The school is based in Christian education, though the idea lives more in the values of the school, and is not thrust upon students every day with drills. Kids get along, and are all different and have their own gifts & talents, which seem to be encouraged and supported.

They signed me up, I didn't sign anything and the owner refuses to give me my money back. I will be doing a chargeback on my card and I don't care if they send it to collections. I didn't receive the email they said they sent or sign anything myself. The 3 months "free" was at the end of a contract I didn't sign and yet, that is not what I was told!

It's impossible to not be motivated and inspired when you're a part of this community. The club is huge and has all the equipment you could ever need or want. The staff is engaging and friendly and the members feel like neighbors you've known forever. There really is a difference between corporate, chain gyms and local gyms that's hard to put into words, but you can feel that difference here.
