This is one of the best fitness clubs in the nation, let alone the one and the only high end one in New Hampshire. It was around for a while now and famous for its high prices. This is not a club to join and not go. It is too expensive for that. However, it is well worth it if you are a regular and utilize all their amenities. Personally, this place is a game changer during infamous new England winter. You can not only work out effectively but also enjoy the sauna and the steam room before you head out to the freezing cold.
They have several basketball, tennis and squash courts. Good size indoor running track is invaluable during winter.
Fitness equipment are well maintained and pretty modern. There are lots of options even though I would not consider this place as a hardcore bodybuilding gym which might be a plus for general public.
There are several classes available such as yoga, pilates, les mills etc. There are also other group classes for extra charge.
There is a good size indoor swimming pool but effectively not usable due to the swimming team utilizing literally around the clock. If you are thinking about joining just for the pool, look somewhere else. There is also outdoor swimming pool which is open during the summer for extra charge.
There are some bad reviews about billing services. I would like to say that the billing practices for all gyms are the same and contract based. If you do not understand what a contract means, then you should...
Read moreCalled and was told “$40 for a day pass”. Seemed steep but I wanted to check the facility out as I’d heard it was nice. Showed up only to be told that “because I don’t know any members, I wouldn’t be allowed in” and apparently there’s no exception. I am a resident of NH and a resident of Manchester and it is absolutely outrageous that there exists a club so exclusive that they are allowed to shoo away paying customers of this community simply because they don’t have the “privilege” of knowing any of the members of their special little club. The attendants at the front desk were as nice as they could be about the situation, considering they clearly have to save face on behalf of what I can only imagine are pompous, nouveau riche scumbags that own and run this “exclusive” club. I suppose I’ll sleep well at night knowing that the Executive Health & Sports Center are safe from the rest of us deplorable members of the community who apparently can’t be trusted or respected enough to be permitted to spend our hard-earned money to inconvenience them with our presence. The owners of this club should be absolutely ashamed of themselves and their exclusionary policies towards members of their community. I was highly considering signing up for a membership here, but not any longer. Their website describes themselves as “community-focused” -absolutely laughable. These people don’t deserve...
Read moreOverall decent and fairly clean. My issue is with the Premium membership that gives only limited access to the outdoor pool as the priority goes to the Swim Team, not members.
(1) Value membership - Rather on the expensive side but plenty of machines that are available even in the afternoon hours. Clean and big enough locker rooms, plenty of parking space. Surprising benefit is the on-site complimentary health check.
(2) Premium membership - You have to upgrade (and logically pay more) to Premium to use the outdoor pool. Unfortunately nobody will tell you that the Swim Team uses 5 out of 6 lanes of the pool from Monday to Friday from 3pm to 8pm (sometimes even 9pm). In other words, as an adult who wants to go swimming outdoors and use the Premium membership after work, you can only one already crowded lane with a bunch of other adults, adjacent pool for kids or a splash pad. I find it surreal that the Swim Team gets a priority in the outdoor pool and everyone seems to think it is normal to pay for a pool that you cannot use after work. But I guess if all of the Swim Team members had to upgrade to Premium too, there goes easy money for the owner irrespective of how ridiculous it is. We are sucking the situation up for our kid but will cancel the Premium once we find a new pool that we can use and are not paying to watch the...
