This place has always been good to me ever since I was a little kid (1 year old) and now, 20 years later I'm proud to say that it's still my preferred private gym/swim and tennis club. I see lots of reviews are poor on here and I understand, and would like any new comers to know that they need not fear those specific reviews because this place does have a lot of policies, which in turn makes it better than most other swim/tennis/gym facilities. I continue to hope to stay a member for as long as I live in the area, and am grateful for all the staff that I've talked to in the past

Local shmocal. Absolutely thoughtless and unneighbourly staff and owners. They run loud machines every weekend and when I call to tell them to stop I get a pithy response from their clearly incompetent staff that the owner will call me back. Many months of noisy health hazards and calls later, I have silence from the owner. Horrible club filled with outdated equipment owned by a terrible person who charges way too much and underdelivers. Stay away. Take your business elsewhere - 24 Hr Fitness is affordable, well equipped, and managed well.

I feel like the victim of an unscrupulous flim flam scam by the management. I paid dues to BOV during a year of the pandemic, when most services were not available. I couldn't afford it anymore and gave them written and telephonic notice of terminating membership. They pressured me into another month's fees, plus late fees, claiming the 30 days notice took me into an additional month's dues. It's a scam and they should be ashamed of themselves after all the dues I paid while it was not available for use. If they take me to court, I'll cross file to recover the dues paid

Was a member until covid happened and they shut down and continued collecting membership dues while not providing any services. They said they needed to keep employees. Well if you check the website Propublica which tracks PPP money you will see Bay O Vista got 2 forgivable loans for a total of $286,262.00. So much lying coming out of the management. They kept our due money to do capital improvements under the guise of paying their employees. I asked them to return 3 months dues and the $150 I paid for discounted tickets to bring in the grandkids in as guest that were unable to be used the whole
