Among them, Carah Hering stands out as my all-time favorite fitness instructor. She imparts her expertise in Line Dancing, ZUMBA, Aqua-ZUMBA, and Cardio Dance, fostering a sense of community that transcends the club. Carah helps coordinate dance parties and trips throughout the year, she also encourages the celebration of birthdays and other life milestones in a unique and memorable manner. These events provide an unparalleled opportunity for camaraderie and shared experiences. Recently, I underwent hip replacement surgery, and Carah's classes served as my greatest motivation to heal and resume dancing with my Oakwood Dance Sisters. If you are passionate about dance or eager to explore this art form, I wholeheartedly recommend all the dance classes offered at the Oakwood Athletic Club.

Review #320 - 2019…read more We've been a member for about 5-6 years now & my son has recently decided that he no longer wants to pursue tennis after high school so I guess we'll just keep our membership for our 3-year old daughter once she develops a liking for tennis. We've only brought her out here once, and she seems to enjoy just running after the balls. I guess that's a sign of some interest. Unfortunately, the weather hasn't been too cooperative lately so we'll have to wait until spring before we can actually get a real sense of whether she'll like tennis enough to keep playing later on. The place is well kept & pretty much always available whenever we wanted to use it in the past. There are seven different courts, I believe, so we've never had to fight for an open time slot. My only gripe is that the monthly due goes up every year.

If you live in Orinda and play tennis and have some extra cash laying around then this is a good…read moreplace for you. As I have mentioned in other reviews there is really not much to do in Orinda, at all. So why not pick up a tennis racket? This club has 7 courts (one semi-hidden and semi-secluded below the parking area). The courts are maintained pretty well too. They Aldo have lights for nighttime play. The club house is kind of old and not too great but it has a mens and womens locker room. A tv and some seating. This club also has a nice little pool in the back that can be great for those hot summer days. It's also great after a tennis match. This is a private club though, so you either need to be a member or come with someone who is s member. Membership can get pretty expensive and all they offer is tennis and swimming but if you have the cash and love tennis then why not? The people who work there and the instructors are very nice and great with kids. It's a good place to learn tennis. That's where I learned when I was a little kid. It also is on a hillside and has a pretty nice view (except for being able to see HWY 24). It's also close to the highway so it has pretty easy access.

The Heather Farms courts are fine, this is a review of the club itself…read more Pros: cheap. Allegedly lots of members (over 800). Cons: my application to their summer league didn't go through smoothly, but I wasn't told that until it was too late to join. So I joined the club itself. After 3 weeks of being a member, despite numerous attempts, I could not find a single person to play against. When I cancelled my membership and gave them constructive criticism about what I thought was wrong with their process, they decided instead to somehow make it about me. Sorry WCRC, it's your loss.

It's wonderful to hear the familiar sounds of the game: the pitter-patter of the balls, the constant squeaking of shoes, and the voices and laughter in the distance.

I came…read morehere on a Friday night to meet with some friends who live within walking distance of this place. I'm not sure if it's year-round but on Friday nights there's a night market with lots of food stands. There's also a lot of youth sports being played inside, but I'm not sure what leagues and exactly which sports. There are not a lot of stands/tense but there's a good variety. I walked around, looking at the different places to get and my final decision was between pupusas and tacos. I decided on the taco stand. And they were delicious. This is great for the community on Friday nights, especially if you live in the area. Had a good time meeting with my buddy and his family and just hanging out. Because of all the activity this place could get really crowded. There's a large parking lot, but it is kind of hard to find parking at least close by.

If the policy for the company has changed, I understand the website might not reflect that yet, however, the website does clearly state California EBT is valid for the discounted price so it felt like this gym in particular is unilaterally deciding to not accept them despite what the company website states. I'm more than happy to update this review if contacted. I have tried contacting this gym to get clarification and have not been able to do so. Edit: manager has since reached out to rectify the situation. Great customer service.

The shoes are self serve and i noticed that they also provide rental chalk. The bouldering area is quite minimal, but they had a number of interesting problems and the boulders are all on Kaya, my preferred app for logging my climbs. They also provided 0 training or onboarding for us so if you are new to the sport, I would recommend coming here with a friend who knows the ropes haha. The grades made sense, I wish there was a bit more slab type climbing though, and the overhang area is also fairly minimal. This is obviously a much more top rope oriented gym. There is little AC but they do have fans, and there's a small strength training area and some treadmills. The bathrooms are quite well appointed with hair dryer, tampons, and nail clippers. Enjoyed the trip for sure!
