Visited Springside for introductory pickleball play recently. We played pickleball on the outdoor…read moretennis courts. The weather was perfect and we had a good turnout. So pickleball was a smash hit. Then I went into the club to get a beer, a tour, and a membership. I was pleasantly surprised by all the amenities that they offer. They have weights, a walking/jogging tracking, a steam room, a bar, a lounge, TVs, ping pong, shuffleboard, pilates classes, cardio fitness equpment, indoor & outdoor tennis courts, outdoor pickleball courts, volleyball courts, basketball courts, indoor golf, soccer/lacrosse field, and updated locker rooms. There's a lot going on here compared to other health clubs in the area. I spoke with the general manager, Val, and she was super friendly and down to earth. We had a draft beer from the bar, while we chatted and watched tennis on TV. I really liked the vibe that this place has and I am hoping to start using the weight machines and pickleball often.

Springside Racquet & Fitness club is a nice facility, but it is a little dated. If you are playing…read moretennis, hope that you do not get the end court, as there is not much room between the court and the wall. If you are playing someone that knows the facility well, they will use that angle to their advantage! The locker room facilities are adequate, but you will definitely be taken back to the late 80s early 90s with the decor. There are several toiletries available for use in case you forgot anything, and a separate area with large mirrors for getting ready after your work out. The facility offers a full-size basketball court, walking track, and with several weight/fitness equipment options. I have never been a member of this club, but have visited as a guest many times. It is tucked away in an industrial parkway area of Fairlawn, so you need to be alert when searching for the building.

Pros: closes at 8pm, plenty of chairs and area, huge bathhouse, Olympic size pool, not intensely chlorinated, and the pool is soooooo refreshing during mid-tanning. There are also zones for the lap swimmers and a waddling pool for the kiddies. The sad part, the pool is scheduled to close after Labor Day weekend.

Most recently, we visited for the Christmas Eve lunch buffet, everything was fresh, and I especially loved that they included shrimp cocktails. A wonderful experience as always. I recently joined this country club and have had a great experience so far. It's a very welcoming and friendly environment. The pricing is reasonable, with different packages and membership levels available. The 19-hole course is beautiful and well-maintained, and the staff is consistently helpful and kind. But my favorite part? The food--everything I've tried on the menu has been absolutely delicious! Overall, I'm really happy with my decision to join.

I would strongly avoid this place if you are looking for a wedding venue…read more If you want to be served a TV dinner or want to poison your guests for your wedding night then this is the place for you. From what we were shown versus what we received as dishes the difference was night and day. Completely different cuts of meat. Completely different preparations. And then everything tasted and looked as if it either was boiled forever or microwaved. Now this at the end of the night isn't bad as bad food still doesn't matter when you are celebrating. But not listening to food allergen warnings will kill someone. We had many guests who are either gluten intolerant to the point of severe sickness or had severe tree nut and peanut allergies. So the bride and groom both agreed to have gluten free bread and a gluten free chicken dish as a menu option and NO nuts. The chicken was suppose to be gluten free and when it was served, it contained bread crumbs. Which contains gluten. So the groom couldn't eat the main meal as he didn't want to be sick vomiting all night. The first salad "dish" served was wilted lettuce with WALNUTS! Not trusting that the chefs took any care with the preparation of the dishes or being careful about cross contamination. The best man didn't eat anything they prepared. So not only did the groom not get the main meal, the best man didn't get to eat at the venue. The management team here really needs to figure out what they are doing. This was an embarrassing show from people who allegedly have been doing this for years. They need to operate at least at an okay standard if they hope not to be litigated out of existence. If we weren't careful we could have had a serious allergic reaction that could have caused a death. It was pitiful to be around such unprofessional and amateur planning by the management team of this club. If it wasn't for how great the rest of the staff was I am sure this place would have had many more problems.

Size does make a difference, especially when you are just learning the game. I learned to play squash here and was a member for about 8 years, as my office used to be located just up the street. The staff is wonderful and friendly as are the members. The squash offering here is very affordable, but limited. It is clearly not the mainstay of this club. The courts are best described as adequate at that time. The courts were not maintained as I would have liked back in the day. Often, I grabbed a broom myself and dusted the courts before playing. The walls were only washed a couple times if that in my tenure there. The squash courts were flooded a few years back, due to ongoing roof issues. I cancelled my membership due to the lengthy repair timeline after a flood that turned the two courts into swimming pools. As a gesture of EXCELLENT SERVICE...which it certainly was...MVRC made arrangements for its squash members to play at Cleveland Racquet Club. I will always remember my early beginnings of Squash fondly at MVRC. I have not been back, nor heard anything through the squash grapevine, about the new, repaired courts/ program. If you are SERIOUS about your squash game, I highly recommend looking into other clubs that are more committed to Squash. You'll be a better player for it, but you'll be a little more invested in a membership as well. Like I said, MVRC is very affordable. For the money, you can't go wrong. This club's focus is primarily tennis. My father played tennis there for almost two decades and always enjoyed the quality of the tennis courts, the staff, and the members there. MVRC has a pro shop, a nice lounge area, towel service, sauna, and two small locker rooms (you will need to bring a lock). I am rating 3 star based upon the Squash program...not the tennis. Please post any new pics and/ or info to this review about the squash program if you have details. Thanks!

An awesome outdoor community pool. Open from Memorial Day to Labor Day each year, the Thornton Park…read morePool has dedicated times and areas for patrons of all ages. In the mornings, there's adult lap swim times (set up for 25Y lengths), and in the afternoons the play pool, lazy river, and water slide open up. Swim lessons are offered periodically, and you're sure to hear a game of Marco Polo happening during open swim. Park in the same lot you would to get to the ice rink and other venues inside the Community Center, and walk directly towards the gate to get access to the pool. All this obviously comes at a price, and depending on whether you're a resident of Shaker Heights or not, there are pricing packages for individual day passes and season passes. Inquire inside the Community Center for more information and to purchase a pass. They use special wristbands to delineate your age and access so its easier for lifeguards to know who's cleared to lap swim - safety first! I come mainly to lap swim and while I love that they're open until 8PM, it's not the most optimal pool for training. They don't have the large time clocks to do swim sets, and when I come earlier on the weekends I'm often competing with the other regulars to share a lane. My biggest qualm is the lack of flags demarcating the last 5Y of each end of a lap which are helpful when swimming backstroke. At least the lanelines are colored differently though. There are ample lounge chairs and canopied areas for families to set up camp. If tanning is your game, you can easily find a spot on the deck for that too. I haven't been able to find lockers during my time here but there are separate men and women's bathrooms easily accessible adjacent to the lifeguard's lounge area. They have kickboards available to borrow nearby as well.
