I had a tennis membership for about 3 years, so my use of the facilities was limited to tennis. That being said, the courts are excellent and well maintained. Lessons and workouts are available at a variety of times. However, I joined with the expectation that there would be organized leagues internal to the Sportsmall so one could actually play, as opposed to just taking lessons or doing workouts. There needs to be a balance. The womens workouts seem to be limited to weekday mornings, so I guess they are for the country club set: non-working women. (I know one woman who recently discontinued her membership because there werent evening leagues for women, or men and women, and she works during the day.) They have two nights of mens leagues, but they have a hard time getting enough men to play. (They could try the bulletin board of website to advertise for more players but they dont.) I suggested asking women to join with the men so they would have more players, plus provide evening play for both men and women, but that was out of the question. I played on Thursday night one time last September after having not played for 5 months and was told I wasnt good enough. (I am a 3.5 player.) The internal leagues they do have only run from November into March, except for a Sunday morning co-ed league, which is well run, but only available Sunday mornings. Thus you are paying monthly dues for months when nothing organized seems to be going on. The SM has helpful front desk people, great facilities, but I, and a few others I have talked to, have found the tennis program wanting, being spotty and not that well organized. If other leagues are available they certainly dont make them known. It seems there is too much emphasis on workouts and lessons, and not enough on actual play time, especially for people who dont have a bevy of people they can gather together to play.

So Im at the Sport Mall tonight doing my regular work out. Im done about 9:30 tonight and all of a sudden there is this 16 year girl in the mens locker room just starring at the guys getting dressed and coming out to the shower. One of the other members was kind of surprised at what was happening so he used his cell phone to call the manger. It takes the manager about 2 minutes to show up. No joke! the girl would not leave. The manager had to force her out of the looker room. I thought this was kind of odd. It wasnt the first time it had happened. For some reason management is ok with these girls just walking in and watching guys come out of the shower and watch them dress. I say this because it just keeps happening and they are not doing anything about it. In the past guys in the locker room would have to yell at the girls to get them out. Tonight this other member had to go a step further he called the police. The police were there in no time. I hope they get down to the bottom of the problem. My concern is this, I dont feel like the Sports Mall is a family friendly place. I would not let mh kids go there because of all the weird crap that goes on in the locker room. Im starting to think that the management is ok with the weird stuff that goes on, things like weird guys just standing there staring at young men. If you go into the steam room your going to get "hit on" or catch someone masturbating in there. Im Ok with gay people, my brother is gay, but Im not ok with public solicitation especially when there are kids involved. Teenage girls should not be allowed in the locker room at all.

I really enjoyed my time at the Sports Mall. The spinning classes were really fun and at great times for me. The decor is a bit out-dated, when you first walk in, its like walking into Saved by the Bells Max Diner. But aside from that, Ive never encountered any problems with the weight equipment or the cardio equipment. In reference to the pictures, I pretty much know the exact location of most of those so the above pictures are of the Sports Mall. The staff that I have encountered have always been great. The only exeption I would say are the front desk girls that at times are not paying attention to what goes on around them. I have recently cancelled my membership only because it was inconveniently located for my to-from work routine so I wasnt consistant in attneding. Plus my brother and I have decided to start building our own little home gym so that is always way more convenient. But I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a gym to actually go to go work-out. My favorite thing out the Sports Mall is that is so very different from the meat-market that many other gyms have become, where you dont actually go to work out but to show off skimply clothes and is rare to see someone actually break a sweat. Also, the womens locker rooms are awesome with built in saunas, a hot tub and showers.

I joined the Sports Mall about a year ago, and I love it! The instructors are top notch. Satomis and Kimberlys Saturday morning Aqua Zumba classes are so much fun, and Masuda is a fabulous sub. Peggy is a fantastic lift instructor, and her upbeat personality makes the time fly. Trish is an amazing dance fitness instructor, and she brings so much energy to the class. It is always nice to walk through the main entrance and be greeted by Kenny, who is so kind and friendly. The facility itself is fantastic. There is an outdoor pool, which can be used throughout the winter once a bubble is placed on top. The weight room has a variety of well-maintained machines and free weights, plus there is a room with treadmills and cardio machines. There is an indoor and outdoor track, beach volleyball, racquetball courts, and tennis courts. A hot tub is right inside the locker room, which is so relaxing. Also, there are dozens of great group fitness classes to choose from. My only wish is that there were more lift classes offered at night. I highly recommend this facility.

I was a member at the sports mall but rarely went. My sister had a family membership so I asked the front desk if I was added to her account if it would change her monthly cost. I talked with at least 4 people there asking them the same thing and they all answered with a NO. I got added to her account and they charged her $40.00 a month for me to be added. As soon as I found out I removed myself from her account. I later called to ask if they would refund her account the $80 since we felt mislead and there obviously a lack of communication. I was told no and then hung up on while still trying to get him to see my side. The facilities also leak when it rains and is not kept up very well. I have never been treated so poorly by an establishment before. The man in charge of accounts was rude from the start of our conversation and impatient. This made me get upset. All I wanted was them to see the error and come to a compromise for the account charged. Very dissappointed.
