" I have been meaning to write a review for awhile. I used to belong to this club years ago. I rejoined a year ago. Nothing much has changed.
PROS: It is never crowded. The clientele is very polite and respectful of people around them. The parking is easy and convenient. They offer clean towels and cold water. Good choice of weight and cardio equipment.
CONS: PLEASE upgrade the locker rooms! You feel like you have walked into a 1980s time warp. Everything is tired, slightly dirty, and funky in smell. Many of the wooden lockers are old and ratty (a lot of numbers have fallen off) and they are sometimes dirty inside. The carpet is starting to seem nasty and frayed. The benches to sit on near the lockers are old and chipped. The sinks, chairs, and area to do hair look dated. At the very least, they could replace the carpet, benches and furniture!
I will stay a member because of the PROS but I'm starting to avoid the locker room which is really a bummer. For the price you pay, everything should be perfect. "

" The Verandah Club is an absolute treasure for fitness enthusiasts seeking a serene and traditional experience. The gym, blissfully devoid of crowds, offers the perfect environment for focused workouts. The club's mature members create a welcoming and respectful atmosphere, making it easy to connect with like-minded individuals. But the true standout feature is the exceptional pool, which is an absolute dream for lap swimming. The pool's serene ambiance and ample space provide the perfect setting for uninterrupted laps, ensuring a refreshing and invigorating swimming experience. With its old-school charm and emphasis on a fantastic lap swimming environment, The Verandah Club is a true gem for fitness enthusiasts. "

" Top notch gym with great amenities. They have top quality barbells and weights. There's a nice little CrossFit area with a sled and a rack for pullups and squats. The racquet ball courts are beautiful.
I didn't swim, but the pool looked great. This gym literally has everything, I was very surprised because I was expecting a basic hotel gym since it's on the same grounds as the Hilton Anatole.
Here's a short list of the things I liked. Quality barbells and weights, CrossFit area, racket ball courts, snacks available to purchase, walking track, pool, punching bags. "

" The best kept secret in health and fitness is available for memberships. The Veranda Club is definitely not a public Life Fitness type place. It breathes private fitness club.
Amazing that there is a Basket Ball Court with pickup games. The locker room is very nice. The wet area is best in town. Sauna, stream, Olympic sized Swimming pool.
Hardball courts, cycling, free weights, and machines.
