From the reviews

I got a membership here for the pool and would go a few times a week. The staff is friendly and helpful. The locker room was always clean, although several of the lockers are kinda warped or busted. They have a steam room and a sauna. If you go in the middle of the day, there's usually a lane free for lap swimming.

During the week they are open late and on weekends close by 4pm. This is odd and inconvenient. I have used almost everything and met moat of the staff. I have to say I like it all and am very comfortable. Aside from the hours it's perfect. Clean.

Love this gym. Especially great for young kids Had my daughter's first birthday here and it went great. They don't micro manage here or count the guests or watch the clock. They let us come in and go to the pool without any hassle. My guests seemed to enjoy themselves and it really was a lot of fun.
