I have been a member for many years and I love this club. It is very user-friendly -- staff are incredibly pleasant and go out of their way to be helpful. I only use the pool, but it is the only pool I know in the Phila. area that is Olympic size and kept at the proper temperature: other pools I've swum at are usually heated to about 86-90 degrees for arthritis patients -- but this is a lap-swimmer's pool. Sauna-whirlpool-steambath area is luxurious. Showers are fine, and lounge is great. I come about three-four times a week so this club is well worth the money for me -- my escape from the real world of work and worry. Plus you can suspend your membership and payment if you're going to be traveling for a month or two or three.
