We just made the decision to purchase a year membership after being impressed with a day pass visit. We love swimming in the lap pool, and it is never very crowded, I have never had a problem getting a lane. The hot tub is very nice to relax in after a workout. The facilities and locker rooms are nice and clean. The only complaint we have is that the upstairs gym area is hot and stuffy, very unpleasant.

I love this place! Facility is always clean, the staff is friendly, and you can always get a lane to yourself for lap swimming. Also, the membership rates are a steal. Only reason this is a 4 star review is due to the sauna and steam room. The temperatures are always set somewhere between lukewarm and barely therapeutic. It feels like the temperatures were set by overly cautious lawyers. You would think that it would be impossible for someone to be cold in a sauna, but I have personally experienced it here more than once. These low temperatures result in countless individuals pouring water on the thermostats to force the equipment to rise to a temperature that one can actually break a sweat in. This in turn causes tension between the staff and the members over misuse of the facilities. Perhaps the staff should recognize that the steam rooms and saunas at other facilities in the area are set to much warmer temperatures than theirs and make a compromise in the form of turning these up a little bit. Other than that I love this spot.
