The clay tennis courts are really wonderful to play on for us folks with old joints! I also love the pools. It is really a special thing to have an Olympic size pool here in central Arkansas to swim laps in. The hot tub by the Olympic pool is so nice to hop in after swimming. The staff is always extremely friendly at the LRRC. My wife meets a trainer a couple times a week who she really enjoys. We both like the LRAC and the LRRC but our favorite by far is the Racquet Club. It is just more quaint and does not feel so crowded. Whenever I go out to the LRAC I feel like an ant on an ant hill. The only time I go out to the LRAC any more to play tennis.
I really enjoy the instructors and have been impressed with the new spin room! It may be a good time to consider refreshing some of the physical space as well. Lighter, more updated paint and carpeting, along with improved lighting, could make a tremendous difference. The club is beginning to feel a little dated and dark, and a brighter, more modern look would really complement the great instructors, classes, and overall experience. I think it would go a long way toward giving the club a fresh new feel!
The prices for a couple in their fifties, with no children utilizing the club, are too high. It’s the same price as a family membership. I think there is a senior membership available for age 62+. Pricing options would be good for those that just use the club once or twice a week.
Sunday hours are also limited with the club not opening until 8am.
I like the people, the big pool, pilates, and everything about the gym except for people sitting on workout machines or weight benches scrolling on their cell phones.
It’s not overcrowded and it’s very friendly. The pools are wonderful and its surroundings are like you are at a resort. My husband says the men’s locker room could do with some upgrading. Love the gym that’s not overwhelming and love the tennis courts.
Love Pilates, pool (bye Summer), want more Barre classes not at Crack of Dawn a.m. , want pickleball activities for beginners (not lesson) folks interested in playing!! Thanks!
