Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, there are programs and amenities tailored to your needs, including fitness classes (yoga, dance, Pilates, barre, taichi, etc.), swim lessons and pickleball/tennis clinics. Coach Ian, Jack and Savanna are all amazing. My son loves the toddler/junior tennis programs! Overall, I highly recommend La Madrona Swim and Tennis Club to anyone looking for a welcoming community, exceptional facilities, and a range of activities to enjoy.

"Brice: Elevating the Game with Insight and Efficiency"…read more "I hit a plateau where tennis was beginning to feel more like a grind than a passion. Working with Brice changed everything. He helped me rediscover the depth and beauty of the game and brought back the pure joy of playing. His unique technique taught me that high performance doesn't have to mean struggle--it's about flow and understanding. Thanks to him, I've shifted into a higher gear and found my love for the court again. If you want to elevate your game and your mindset, Brice is the coach you need."

I came to the sports club as a guest at the resort to keep up on my swimming routine. I had…read morepreviously been to the sports club a little over a year ago with no issue, however since then apparently they have instituted a swimming pool lane reservation policy. This is nowhere on their website or communicated at the resort -- only upon arrival did I learn that just one lane is available for drop in, and there were already 4 people in that lane. To her credit, the woman at the front desk was friendly and helpful, offering to make me a reservation for a few hours later in the afternoon (at a time I wasn't available) or for the one remaining slot the next day (also at a time I had other plans). I don't know how early you have to make reservations for swimming in the pool before it's all filled up, and I'm sympathetic to their efforts to clearly manage high demand, but it is still disappointing to know that the pool is, for all intents and purposes, inaccessible due to maximum capacity.

This is my local gem. It can get crowded but usually is fairly open. There is some gang tagging in…read morethe bbq pit area but nothing overtly offensive. I love the shaded tables right next to the playground. The only sand is by the swings, the rest is just the rubber substrate. The restrooms are pretty usable, although they are a little distance from the structures. You may not be able to get little ones there in time if they aren't good at early notification. There is a little kids play structure and a bigger kids structure. There is a water fountain which is very accessible to all. Plenty of slides, a few swings and a variety of climbing activities! There is a tennis court and a big, multi-purpose field. There is a decent parking lot. Pros: location, bbq pits, open tables, shaded tables, restrooms, water fountain, places to play, parking, a lot of trees Cons: possible gang hang out, also (being in Live Oak) there is a possibility of creepy molesters hanging out in the corners. I'm not kidding! There is a guy sitting across the park from me right now staring at my kids. It has been only me, my kids and this guy for the last 90 minutes. I've been staring into his creepy eyes whenever he looks over. Also, Brommer St. runs along it and can be street noisy if that sort of thing bothers your little ones.

What a gem of a gym. Of course it is Summer time so there are no summer Blues to sing here. It's…read morenot crowded at the moment. Rad equipment, towels and spray bottles galore, and the pool! What's not to like. Students everywhere but the best kept secret in town is memberships are available for the general population. You want to pay $188.00 a month for the new Santa Cruz Athletic Club and park in Jeff Bezo's parking lot? Knock yourself out. No pool you realize. I'll take UCSC Rec Fitness Center six ways to Sunday for the views alone. The Monterey Bay and deer! You feel like you're at a retreat. It's a huge secret. So now you know. As for the less stellar reviews, well, they're young - they'll learn to appreciate things eventually.

It's so packed in here that I have to schedule my workout five weeks in advance just to snag a spot at the water fountain. Even sardines would be like, "Hey, this is a bit too cramped for my taste." But hey, the gym does have one thing going for it--it's a fantastic test of your patience. Who needs a peaceful, stress-free workout when you can spend half your time waiting for your turn and the other half wondering if that ancient bench press is going to collapse on you? You can also take a moment to appreciate the charming layer of dust that adorns every machine. And let's not forget the rust; it's practically a workout for your immune system, too. I'm pretty sure the dumbbells have grown their own ecosystems by now. Forget about disinfecting wipes; we need an archaeologist to clean this place up. The gym machines here look so old and rusty that I'm surprised they don't come with a historical plaque. You know you're in for a treat when you have to spend 10 minutes deciphering the hieroglyphics on weights because the labels have worn off - complete with the soundtrack of screeching metal. It's like a tribute to the Industrial Revolution right here. It's like a museum of fitness, where the artifacts are just as likely to break a sweat as you are. The gym also needs more machines, I suggest at least 3 times, but cut the number of cardio machines in half.
