Dipping into year number 3 of absolutely consistent focused weight training. Even as I'm leaving…read morethe gym, I can't WAIT to get back in! I've increased my days and am now also doing the treadmill. Whatever insomnia I initially suffered from was RESOLVED the first week of training. It's virtually impossible to NOT fall asleep in 3-4 minutes and I mean EVERY NIGHT! That alone was worth getting busy, stopping with making excuses and taking greater responsibility for MY "HEALTH SPAN." Who else gonna do that? It's a super disciplined time of my life and that extends to every habit, what I eat, drink, watch, listen to, allow myself to be around and it's GOOD! I give all glory to God for giving me clarity with each issue, to not dither on important matters! I AM thinking about tomorrows and this gym, its variety, the proximity and the range of what's possible over time is intriguing. As a sci-fi fan, who years ago named his voice-controlled home, "Moon Base Alpha," it compliments my aesthetic. EVERY cell in your body will benefit and it doesn't hurt that I look like a freaking stud! lol Didn't set out that way, but I'll take it 'cause it came along with targeting my insomnia through weight training. Lot's of hormones going on at any gym and it's not hard to shut down 'the look' from both guys and gals. Psst, take a number! lol In no way is the gym a social thing for me. It's the most greedy/selfish time of the day, by NECESSITY! Any air expended beyond that to achieve lift, is conserved. The greatest gains I've made have been with prep/warm ups and doing each lift to exhaustion with only 1 or none left in the tank. Not hard to understand, it's a stimulus/response sending the signals to the cells to BUILD capacity. But here's the thing... Dedicated and consistent exercise/weight training WILL improve EVERY organ in the body when combined with a solid diet and hydration with unsweetened water. A case could be made for some carbs doing a 2 pulse hour of training. I'm using 50% watermelon juice and 50% water. Occasionally, post-workout I hit "ultra filtered milk" and some ovalteen. Although I'm not lactose intolerant, that u-filted milk is much higher in protein and calcium so I'm upping my intake. I do NOT use powders, creatine or health related 'products,' bars, drinks... Instead I use REAL foods, full of fiber and eat proteins with meals, tons of grains, fruits, veggies, nuts, yogurt, etc. I do NOT buy into all the gym bodybuilding hype out there with folks 'selling' stuff. And I know from my own gains that 'the fundamentals' are safer and it's working. As a guy with a mesomorph body type, it's getting good! Viking ancestor genes ACTIVATE! As expected, IF one does not simply begin somewhere, build gradually, and then put that work in, you may be kicking important cans down the road. With the understanding that there ARE 168 hours in the week, I asked myself 'how MANY of those hours are folks/myself actually investing/using?' It's an interesting question. All the personal benefits, gains, enhancements in body/mind/soul--the disease avoidance/mitigations possible--are among the things that I've come to most value. KNOWING the efforts are sound. And even if you're not 'shopping' it's always nice to be noticed positively. Like any tool used to accomplish a task, the gym is perhaps the most significant one I have to take advantage of and I'm grateful to the Lord for always providing what I most need, insight! Walking into the right decisions is critical! I can only imagine how this consistent effort will preserve and enhance function, independence and ability into every season of life! Highly social elsewhere, when I enter any GB3, it's TIME to get busy. The world stops turning, I don't respond to calls or texts. Here, I'm selfish and focused 'by NECESSITY.' The most talking likely to come from me is relegated to asking someone, "How many sets left?" :) -G

They got rid of the child care center for good. i know it's old news to everyone but i'm still sad…read moreabout it. i frequent this gym and i love it. they have good equipment and you can see they do their best to take care of it. i love the pool and steam room! the pool is heated so it's always a good time to swim. the steam room was being renovated the last time i was there so i havent seen it yet but im excited about that. the people that work here are friendly. i've never really had a problem here. perhaps the parking lot can get pretty crazy when there are a lot of people. i usually check google to see if it's high foot traffic to determine if i go. so far that's worked for me.

I don't usually write reviews, but after my experience with Sean Clinton, I had to say something…read more Let me start by giving credit where it's due: the other employees here are genuinely kind and did their jobs well. But Sean? He's the manager. And I am absolutely baffled that someone with this little people skills is in charge of anything involving human interaction. Sean has what I can only describe as angry short white man syndrome, and I don't say that lightly. The man was on an incredible power trip from the moment we interacted with him. I have never met someone who radiates that much unexplained hostility. He was huffing, puffing, and looked like he was about to blow the whole house down. His face was red and was literally shaking from anger because his "ego" cannot admit that he was clearly in the wrong, and it was almost funny. My friend and I stayed completely calm and polite the entire time, which seemed to make him even angrier. Watching a "grown" man have a full emotional meltdown over a normal customer interaction was genuinely pathetic and sad. I genuinely mean this, Sean Clinton does not deserve to be around people, let alone manage a team. If you're the type of manager who turns red and shakes because a customer speaks to you calmly, you are not fit to be in customer service. To Sean, if you ever read this: take a deep breath. Maybe a vacation. Or therapy. Something. It is not our fault that you are only three apples tall.

The owners very professional and polite and you truly had privacy. I have a pool not as big and smaller space , so I highly recommend Splash if you plan on having a large group of people or and don't think your pool or space will be adequate this is the way to go. I did see a few fire ants. You do have to book a minimum of two hours however, I recommend 4 or more hours so worth the money and time well spent.

Worst customer serviced and dishonesty that I have encountered! Chris Flaming was referred to me…read morefrom Aquamatic, and initially seemed capable but left my previously intermittently working pool cover to a total breakdown within days of his work last summer. Spa Duck also made some "interim" electrical control changes from a convenient to operate post, into the below deck pool cover receptacle, totally hard to access, even from a kneeling position on cement. I now have to hire an electrician to redo their work to my original set up. I also had to hire another company to repair my pool cover system and will be using them in future. Spa duck would not return a call or text from last summer, 2021 after numerous courteous efforts to get their attention and help. In addition, in mid June 2021, I gave Spa Duck a check for 50% down payment on a new spa cover and have never received it! I was told by Chris at the time, that it would take two months, --but Aquamatic told me over a month later (on a separate matter I was discussing with them) that Chris had just brought in the spa cover order that day , and that it would take a week to get it done. This showed me Chris was already lying to me. This was 8 months ago!!! Since then, No pool cover ever delivered, No refund provided! Contractor license should get a record of this kind of unprofessional conduct. I called the Aquamatic representative who referred me to Chris at Spa Duck, to let him know that this company and owner Chris, are a POOR REFLECTION on Aquamatic which uses them as a subcontractor. Since that call couple of months ago, Aquamatic has clearly not managed to get them to show the slightest level of professionalism, fiscal obligation or just plain customer curtesy.

Very nice pool and other amenities…read more SWAGR this year was at this pool and went off very nicely. Sometimes these bigger meets overwhelm the facilities with the large amount of swimmers and families. Not this place. Only area for improvement would be more grass area for spectators.

Two gorgeous, Olympic sized open-air pools, well maintained and absolutely state-of-the-art. Came here for USMS Short Course Swimming Nationals, and this facility made it an experience to remember. The size of the pools allowed the meet to run two heats of ten lanes at once, with the other pool offering twenty lanes for warm-ups and cool-down. Amazing. The meet flowed smoothly due to being hosted in such a perfect space. The Fresno and Clovis area high schoolers are very lucky to have such a fantastic space!

This park is located in a pretty nice area of Madera, CA. This park is known by locals as Swimming…read morepool park. The park has a lot to offer from playground play for children of all ages to swimming. There are several shaded areas for families or anyone to relax and enjoy the nature. You can easily miss this park in seconds but you cannot miss the beautiful building that looks like it was just plopped there. There is parking avaliable along with street parking. Maintanience comes on a regualr basis to clean up the park if there is trash and basically makes sure the park is kept as pristine as possible. The swimming hours varie and is posted on Madera County Parks and Recerational site. You can even reserve your time at the pool and even throw parties there as well. I have to say that this park is one of my favorite parks to sit back eat my lunch and enjoy nature all at the same time. I see alot of happy children running around and the play structure appears to be pretty safe for all ages. They even have infant swings too and a public restroom if needed. If in the area and need something todo with the kids or nature, this is the place to be!

Booking swim lessons was easy & the staff was very responsive & accommodating to my schedule via email & text. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with warm welcomes & goodbyes every lesson from both the front desk & swim instructor. My son LOVED Bullfrog Swim School & his instructor Miss Sally. As parents we couldn't have asked for a better instructor for our son. Miss Sally was very calm, patient, & loving towards our baby boy. By the end of his 10 lessons our 18 month old was able to hold his breath, kick, blow bubbles, & find the edge of the pool. We will definitely book more lessons with Miss Sally to get him fully swimming as he reaches 2!

Tried to set up pool service in April. Main guy was out on medical, which was understandable, but…read morenever once did anyone set up our account, a contract, or communicate with us. Fast forward to today, I reached out because some guy came to service our pool (only knew because I'm home with a sick kid). The owner called me and said we'd been receiving service the whole time (news to us) and he'd like to start over. Then he made it clear he only meets clients before 3 pm through the week, and that it seemed like this wouldn't work. With all of the issues created by lack of communication on the businesses part, all we wanted was to meet face to face for a few minutes to set things up right. At that point, it was clear he didn't want our business. I'm shocked by all of this because the company gets great reviews, but they definitely aren't hurting for clients and their customer service is lackluster at best. We felt like just a number on a page from day 1. Definitely don't recommend this company. It's expensive compared to others and not worth the money based on what we experienced. We ended up having to do all kinds of service and troubleshooting in our own because the tech wasn't doing their job apparently anyways.
