Beechmont Racquet & Fitness — Attraction in Union Township

Was introduced to the place through a friend that had brought me along to a cardio tennis class. It was so much fun! Since then our family has joined the facility, and we could not be happier.

They have a great variety of fitness equipment especially compared to the last gym we were members of, hint there's a very popular song about the place. Now I almost never have to wait for a piece of equipment to become available even during the busy times. Makes it so much quicker to be able to get in a workout!

I was intimidated at first by the heavy weight room downstairs but everyone from staff to members are super helpful and nice. It also helps that it has a really relaxed vibe there and the space has a good mix of guys and gals that are utilizing it. Made me feel more comfortable at least :) The best part is not only dropping more than a few lbs these past few months but seeing the physical strength gains I've achieved.

My kids (9, 9, 11 & 13) are fans of the pickleball courts there, which is a great way to get out some energy during the cold winter. They're even offering intro to pickleball workshops periodically. My only suggestion to the club would be of adding a parent/child pickleball league or maybe just a day of it would be really cool :)

The other thing my family really enjoys is taking advantage of the pool! It's never busy, usually at least a few lanes are open depending on the time of day you go and the water is the perfect temp! It's warm enough when you get in that you're not dreading putting your head under but cool enough that once you swim a few laps you're not overheated. And oh boy did I mention the sauna! It's heaven after a swim!

As far as the other stuff I haven't even taken advantage of yet, are the fitness classes, tennis leagues, and other social events that take place throughout the year (ie. they did a mixology class one night). I can't wait to try them out though. It really seems like a nice social spot for the retired or stay at home parent community as well.

The facility is pristine. There are always employees to be spotted around cleaning and tidying up with a smile. Even in the early AM hours everyone has a great attitude.

Bottom line if you're on the fence do it! It's comparable pricing to other facilities in the area with waaaaaaaay more bang...

Update: 12 weeks in and joining BRF has been one of the best decisions I have made. I stand by my original review and then some! Everyone has continually been so kind and welcoming. The facilities continue to always be kept so clean! But, I do still wish there was something more for the little kiddos to include them in building a healthy, active lifestyle, but that obviously is not a deal breaker at this point. Additionally, if you are looking for a trainer, I can not recommend Logan Easterling enough! He will meet you where you are and keep you motivated and progressing without feeling intimidated or daunted by starting or returning to a gym routine!

I've only been a member for almost a week, but I am absolutely enjoying my experience so far. Everyone has been so nice and the facilities are kept so clean and organized. It is a little confusing to navigate at first, but I'm quickly getting the hang of it. The available childcare is wonderful, but I do wish there was some more programming, like a Jr gauntlet or something similar, for the children to be/get involved in as well. Otherwise, I am very...

I have been a member of this place more than once over the years... It has gotten progressively worse year after year in my opinion. They require you to sign up for a year from the start just to join... then while you are locked into that contract they raise the rates and of course you don't notice it until your year is up and you start getting charged more... then when you quit because this place IS NOT WORTH IT, then they hit you with "you have to inform us 3 weeks before you quit" so you have to pay another month at the raised rates or they will send that to a collection agency....

TL;DR The bottom line is that this is a dying gym locked into one area only and filled with old people... The old people complain about the young people and what the gym tries to do to accommodate the young people... And the young people complain because this place is like a box of old people trying to lock you into a Time Warner Cable contract... take my advice if you see...
