Too many people on speaker phones or talking EXTREMELY loudly while wearing ear buds. Can't focus on workout due to lack of phone policy. There should be rules on this do that one can workout without hearing loud people on their phones. Dont see this at other facilities. It's incredibly rude and disrespectful and disruptive.
I like that it never feels intimidating. There is always a mix of people from varying ages and fitness levels. The staff and instructors have never been anything but welcoming and helpful. I love the facility. I like to pause and breathe for a moment in front of the fountain before I enter..
It is getting frustrating .... you have pre-teens or early teens, who are unsupervised and treating the weight areas like play areas, literally using machines with house slippers or groups of 3 or more holding up a machine for 20 or more minutes. Or you have adults who camp out on equipment and scroll/talk/text on their phones. It would be helpful if at busy times a staff person supervised and kept people moving on the equipment and/or reminders to members via email and even signs on the equipment.
The new Coffee machine is wonderful! Pilates and pickleball make it a great place for families. I appreciate the recovery room. I do worry about the aging population having to navigate the stairs to get to the cafe/coffee.
We need bigger studio space for the classes, more hiit type offerings mid day. DUC should end at 4:30 on Sundays, not 4 pm. There are many moms who do the Amped class on Sundays and have to leave 15 mins early to pick up kids from DUC. The Cafe is rocking it!! I love Anna, Lauren Ritchie, Maria Osborne, and Tracy’s classes! They are the best!!
Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, professional staff; lots of classes from which to choose; variety of workout equipment; the cafe; chill room; pool/hot tubs: sauna and much more!!! This athletic club is the top of the line place to be for maintaining great health and there’s a place for children (Kids Sports)!!!
I like all the group exercise options. I like the numerous tennis courts and the amenities in the locker room such as sauna and whirlpool. I also like that all the activities are available year round, regardless of weather.
It would be nice if there were more room for the free weights and the functional area. I come in at 5 am, and it is very packed in there. There is very limited space for functional training, and it's quite dangerous to have the barbells and racks so close to other people lifting weights and walking through. I've seen on many occasions someone at the rack lifting heavy weights, and another right behind him doing an exercise because of the lack of room. I'm not sure how you would expand that area, but it would make more sense for the free weights and racks to have more room, as opposed to the machines having most of the room. The room downstairs is taken up most of the time for classes, so I only wish there were more room for functional training for convenience and safety. Thank you for your consideration.
