Review of Oxford Athletic Club

Full service, upmarket athletic club in the style ...

Full service, upmarket athletic club in the style of those in London, NY, or LA, the only of it's kind in the area. You get complete racket sports facilities (indoor tennis, outdoor clay courts, racquetball, and squash), gym facilities, basketball courts, indoor and outdoor pools, a cafe, bar, virtual golf, pro shop, and executive quarters including a private club restaurant. They have a wide array of specialty classes and personal instructive offerings in gym training and sports too. Plus competitions and special events. And all the boutique amenities of a world class facility. The kids are crazy about the place too. The outdoor pool is the place they all want to be in summer. They have child care for the younger ones and have activities for the older ones. A lot of the local sports team's professional players from the Steelers and Penguins like James Harrison, Antonio Brown, Kris Letang, and Pascal Dupuis and others work out here too, so that speaks for itself. As do the gym's photos. Anybody complaining in reviews here is just laughable when you consider how many pros chose it and look at the photos yourself. They obviously must have some other issue, it seems like they're probably from less affluent other parts of the area and don't understand what a club facility actually is (and perhaps can't truly afford it). This is a racket and aquatics CLUB not a freakin' barbell warehouse. The club style is exactly what you pay for. Why would even join a racket club just for a gym in the first place? (Because you wanted to just to be able to claim you "go to Oxford"? Yeah, ya did.) That cost/benefit ratio was never going to workout, if you don't play racket sports. It's not Oxford's fault you joined a tennis club thinking it was Planet Fitness.
