The Sports Club of West Bloomfield

I don’t know tennis, so I won’t speak to that.
I do know weights, yoga, and spinning. For the price, Sport’s Club can’t be beat. There is a large variety of yoga, spinning, and cardio classes with rotating instructors. If you don’t care for one person’s teaching style, take another class! The instructors are seasoned professionals for the most part.
The weight room is well equipped and clean, with machines, free weights, balls, bands, and anything else you need to work out.
The pool is nice enough. I read and relax poolside, and take my granddaughter occasionally in winter, when they put a bubble over it. The wifi is dependable throughout the facility and pool area.
My granddaughter has gone to the kid’s center for babysitting a few times, and it’s fine also. Not like she is spending the day there.
The club has a cliquish vibe to it, but if you pay dues to exercise in a clean facility with quality instructors and classes that meet your schedule, the Sport’s Club is the ticket.

This is a great club. I love that all the classes are included and there are tons. I usually love the Zumba classes, except for an occasional instructor. Sometimes they don’t update the online schedule which is a pain. The parking lot is in need of re surfacing, but I will give them a pass this year because of the horrible winter we had. The front desk staff is very friendly and the club is pretty clean.

They say «cheaters never win». That may or may not be true, but one thing is for sure: many of them play at this club! The facilities are average, the location is difficult to reach with traffic, but that would be okay if not for the fact that there is a culture of cheating at tennis from this club. Not just a few people, but a LOT of people on several teams, which means it must be encouraged or taught by the staff. If you like cheating and like to disregard honesty, integrity and sportsmanship, than this is the club for you!
If you’re an honest person and you would never cheat, then I advise you to stay away from this place.

You really cannot beat this gym for the price and the amenities.
Unlike Lifetime, all classes are included, yoga, aerobics, spinning etc… and the price is actually less! Tennis is really the only additional charge. The facilities may not be the newest, but they are clean, and kept up. There are steam rooms, saunas and updated locker rooms. The pool is in a bubble dome so it is indoors in the winter, and then outdoors in the summer. The staff is very nice, and they make an effort to know member’s names.

For the cost of membership, you can’t beat what you get. Yoga, Zumba, spinning, swimming, racquetball, fitness, etc. I’ve been very pleased with my membership over the past few months. The only thing additional is tennis, which I haven’t played here yet, but the courts are always busy.
Most of the desk staff is friendly, but they don’t always ask everybody for their name when they enter. Maybe they know the people, but it would be nice if they had a swipe pass, like they have at LA Fitness or Bally’s.
The gym is quiet after 8PM most nights, so it is nice to workout without waiting for equipment. There aren’t too many muscle heads grunting or grinning in the mirror while curling 150lbs.
The locker rooms are clean, and they provide towels. This is huge, as you don’t have to bring your own, and they are readily available. The showers have shaving cream, and the sinks have hairspray, deodorant, and mouthwash.
The parking lot really needs resurfacing, and traffic flow on busy mornings means waiting while MiniVan Mom drops off Jeremiah for martial arts classes. But, it’s usually better to get there early as classes fill up fast on weekends. An update to the website with working links would be nice as well, but you can’t expect everything from a small club.
I paid my membership for the year for a 10% discount, and within a few weeks decided to change from one-​year to two as I knew I finally found a good place to work out and swim.
