SportHouse Athletic Center — Local services in Norton Shores

I absolutely loved working out at the SportHouse and give them a ton of credit for helping me change my lifestyle though they might not know they did. Walking in, we were always greeted with smiles from the employees and the owners were very hands on and personable. It was a great environment, and even though the gym was small you could still get a good workout in. I always saw an employee cleaning the machines and they were very responsive with fixing any issues. We moved to Tampa and the only gym that has a daycare is Lifetime. Though they have newer equipment they don’t take care of it (it’s always broken),it’s dirty, they don’t fix any issues with the equipment, and the other people at the gym have poor gym etiquette, something that wasn’t (often) an issue at SportHouse. Moving and going to a new gym has been difficult, there are times I just don’t want to go because I hate the atmosphere, but I don’t! SportHouse is a great gym and I highly suggest going here. Only issue I could make was the parking during the games...maybe a members only parking? We...

A great place to workout, get fit, and have fun. As an on again off again member for at least 15 years Norton Pines has a lot to offer. Salon and spa, tanning beds, hot tubs, swimming pools, weight room, racquetball, and cardio machines are just a few of the amenities to take advantage of. Fitness classes, swimming classes (adult, child, and infant), personal trainers, and daycare services are also offered. Ladies and men's locker rooms are large and clean. Each locker room also has private showers, changing rooms, hot tub, steam room and sauna to enjoy. Their upstairs offers basketball courts,walking track, and bar to enjoy a drink and light snack. Their staff is has always been friendly and knowledgeable. There are a few downsides to this wonderful establishment. The membership costs are not cheap with a single person membership starting at $80 a month. Second, they are a little under staffed causing a backup at check-in and service at the juice bar. These are minor inconveniences but they should be pointed out...

EXTREMELY expensive. Very disorganized. Equipment is old/outdated. Whenever I ask the staff a question the most common answer I receive is "I'm not sure, I'll have to get back to you". And to this point, they never have. They can't even tell me how much each plate on the leg extension machine weighs. It is the most expensive gym in the tri county area by a wide margin, yet they look for any possible way to take more money from you. Would you like to use a locker? That costs extra. Need a replacement membership card? That costs extra. Use the tennis courts? Extra. When I tried to sign up for a membership, I was told I had to wait (about 25 minutes) until the only staff member who could help me was finished making smoothies for a family of 6. No apology for the wait. It's not even open 24 hours. The only reason I'm still a member is because it's extremely close to my house and my schedule is very busy, making the gyms further away...
