I have to agree with the other poster about the music. It is inappropriate and makes me uncomfortable, plus the staff was super rude about it.

I like exersizing [pool time] without being crowded, hurried or hassled. I like showering and still being able to get home with time to change and make dinner. And i felt better after the first go-round...enough to encourage doing it some more. I'm not convinced i'll get a forty dollar a month benefit yet...but we'll see!

Wonderful place that's more than just a regular gym... It's a place for families to get together and teams to practice.
