I'm glad that my wife talked into coming to check it out. The staff here, everyone is so nice and professional. They greeted me and my wife the minute we entered the building. One of the staff gave us a tour. The gym equipment is so clean. The outdoor swimming pools' water is very clear at a warm temperature of 80 degrees. After the tour, we decided to join. Now, we are officially Prime Time Athletic Club members. Recommended!

Prime Time should feel obligation to it's members and return to normal hours of operation. There are no requirements for the gym to continue to close early, and there is not increased risk from COVID during later hours. On the contrary, restricted hours force increased crowding that increases COVID spread. It is apparently the decision of Prime Time to maintain restricted hours, and I'm about to give up waiting for a return to normal hours of operation. Prime Time should be aware there are new Health Club competitors in the area that are making expanded hours available to it's members.

Prime Time encompasses a complete array of fitness and wellness options in a vast, clean and well-maintained facility. Its always a high-cardio, quality experience during every workout Ive had there. The swimming area is a lovely setting and they have barbecues during the weekend. Plus, its the only gym youll ever find with a Starbucks on the premises. This entire facility is at the top of their game.

Great facility. Miss the old pricing that separated out the monthly fee between the club and extended features i.e. tennis, basketball & squash etc. From the fitness facility.

I was billed July and October when the club reopened. There was no communications and I had no idea it was open at all since I've moved after the shutdown in March. I called the club and the rep told me he couldn't help. The only person who could do anything would be Jerry. I emailed him a number of times and there was no responses at all. That sucks!!!!

I've been a member for about a year. Here is my humble opinion:
Pros: large pool, hot tub and saunas, friendly reception staff, wide range of activities
Cons:
1. Pool gets VERY dirty on Sundays, somebody's hair always sticks to you and one time I saw a guy spitting in the pool. I just left the pool at that point.
2. Group programs: it looks like there is variety, but honestly, only one legit trainer of group programs there is Val. Others that I've tried are just low pace trainers who just CHAT with their fellow attendants about TV shows, news etc instead of focusing on giving a decent training
