Espire Sports — Local services in Prescott

Our team recently rented Espire's facilities for a team building event and we had such a blast! Tammy and I communicated through email to set up the entire rental (easy peas). She was extremely helpful in providing all services and fees up front and took care of our reservation and even offered to contact & order catering for us when their Kitchen was already in use. Being able to bring or order in your own food is so appreciated, especially if you have many diet restrictions. Upon arriving, we were taken back to the Activities room (cornhole, pool tables, ping-pong, shuffleboard, foosball), our golf simulators and to the mini bowling lanes and Rick showed us around. He was so kind and helpful and continued checking on us all to ensure we were having a good time. Between Tammy, Rick and Tanya, the customer service was absolutely stellar. We were all very impressed and can't wait to come back again! **This would be an excellent place to host a party (for any age). I cannot say enough about how wonderful the facilities are. This is exactly what Prescott was missing. So happy to have them here....

So far my husband and I have been happy with the facilities. Courts are nice and well maintained. The staff at the front desk have been friendly and helpful, most especially Nora and Kelly. Meeting great people and having a lot of fun.

This issue we have is the impact non members have on our play time. For example Saturday there was only one court designated for 3.0 level open play. Next door to us Prescott Pickleball Association had 4 courts reserved. Their members can play for 2 hours for $5. PIPA also has 4 courts reserved on Wednesday nights. On Saturday there were non members on our court which significantly limited our playing time as well. Why would this be allowed especially during prime playing time.

I understand that Espire had some initial challenges reaching membership goals which resulted in opening the club to the public in hopes of gaining new members. But I know a number of people who are happy to pay the $5 through PIPA and have no intention of ever joining. I hear rumblings from other members about this practice so I do hope Espire can get this...

I have been coming here since it has opened and I primarily use the exercise equipment and basketball court. All the equipment is used even the basketball court was previously owned and in poor condition. Since i have been coming to the gym the equipment is frequently out of order and the exercise space has gotten progressively smaller due to the other “activities” (Martial arts/Pilates) that they have incorporated into the same already small space where you workout. Basketball rims are bent and nets are all but wasted away. When I inquired about the possibility of at least fixing the rim/net I was quickly dismissed. Given how much they charge for memberships I was shocked by their response and lack of motivation to re-invest in their own facilities. This along with the poor treatment you receive from staff was enough for me to cancel the membership for myself and my spouse. If you are looking for a gym to exercise this is not the gym for you… staff and management are more focused on pickle ball and parties/events instead of...
