VillaSports

This past weekend we decided to join VillaSport which is an athletic club and spa. Although it is a bit pricy you seem to get what you pay for, and we were pleasantly surprised with all of the amenities that are provided when you become a member.

It’s a fantastic facility that’s bigger than any gym I’ve been ever been a part of. The locker rooms contain a lounge with big screen TV’s, cable, and leather couches. In both the men’s and women’s locker room is a steam room with a TV, a sauna with a TV and each locker room has its own hot tub. There are plenty of individual showers with glass doors for privacy, each shower contains large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There is also an ample supply of body lotion, mouth wash blow dryers etc. The lockers have their own digital locks that you simply make up a code for and enter when you need to get back into it. You really don’t need to bring much from home which makes it nice and easy to get up and go work out.

There is a café that serves breakfast lunch and dinner, a bar, free Wi-Fi, and a spa (not included but you do get a discount). The facility has a large amount of workout equipment; including free weights, weight machines and an ample supply of cardio equipment (every single treadmill has its own TV with cable). There is a full sized basketball court, a fire pit, five pools, four water slides (two outside, two inside) and a third hot tub that is half inside and half outside. Enough said. It’s pretty awesome.

We’ve been a couple times so far and I’ve got to say, it has been really nice having somewhere to workout and go swimming even when the weather isn’t so good. Every time I have gone it’s been relatively empty, or maybe it just seems empty because it’s so big. The only complaint I have is there are a lot of kids, not to sound old and grumpy or anything but there are several pools designated for adults only and there are always kids in them, so I don’t think they really enforce it. Overall it’s a great place to work out and hang out and I’m sure we will be spending a lot of our summer hours at the outdoor pools.
