This place is advertised as a family place, but there's hardly anything for families to do together. I was able to go swimming in the pool with my son, but my son was very disappointed that he couldn't do anything else he wanted to do with me. He couldn't go in the hot tub with me. He couldn't go in the sauna with me. He couldn't even go in the weight room with me.
And speaking of the weight room, the place is a joke. Its like what a rich person would keep in their garage in case they can't make it to the gym. They don't even have a lot of basic equipment that a gym is supposed to have. The very first thing I do in my workout is chest fly's. Like many people, its one of my favorite exercises that I consider to be very important. But they don't even have a fly machine. Nor do they have a cable frame for me to do it on either. I went and asked the attendant if they had a fly machine, she said she had never heard of it before. She was just some young kid they had working there without any training or gym experience. It was pitiful.
And this place is not cheap either. Its more expensive than the gym I used to go to which was a real family gym that I could actually go and workout with my son in and sit in the sauna with him afterwards. I don't know why they call themselves a family place if children aren't allowed to do anything. And I don't know why they even bothered trying to have a weight room if they aren't going to do it right and give people a way to exercise every muscle.
