Home gym! Yup, this is our home gym due to the facility; pool, Kids Klub (which we should use), Spinning in the winter, indoor pool and location! We have spent many days here in Natomas, we could've actually done the review without a tour stop, but that's no fun! So lets begin the review of our gym...
The pool area has two pools; a beach style and lap pool, plus a kid spray park! The beach style pool was roped off due to the swim lessons, cutting it in half. Things worked out fine, so the small area wasn't a huge deal! The kids quickly found swim friends, making the experience a better one! The spray park, closed until 3pm! Really? Does that mean I can get a club discount? The pool had 25 kids in the roped off section, had the park been open, it might not have made the small pool smaller! Hire someone Cal Fit, its summer and kids are off in the summer, step it up management!
The seating area was great! The pool area is basically divided in half with the spary park acting as a divider! So if an adult wants to lay out and not hear kids or parents screaming at the kids, then this is a great spot! each side has plenty of lounge chairs, but the beach style pool has 5 tables with umbrellas!The landscaping was certainly more appealing then Laguna and Citrus Heights with palm trees and open fencing rather than 100% walls, well done!
The gym also had three swim instructors on hand, one was a school teacher earning a few extra bucks in the summer! The bathrooms were also easy to get to since they are accessible from the pool area! Brady asked to go to the bathroom, I suggested he go alone and he was totally cool with it! Perfect!
This shot shows the division of the two pools with the closed spray park in the middle! As you can see some homes get to see the gym all day long! Hope a criminal with a binoculars doesn't live in one of these homes!
The closed spray park! When it is open, its a blast and usually CalFit has a "deck supervisor" managing the structure to avoid injuries and of course lawsuits! The "Get up lil kid and suck it" policy doesn't cut it at CalFit!
My final thoughts, its a great pool area for parents with small children exploring in the water because of the beach style pool! The beach style pool is a fantastic confidence builder for young swimmers! My rating drops because of the closed off area in combination with the closed Spray Park! The overall vibe was great too! The kids found friends and I even spoke to a fellow dad for a while, plus I did some serious Kauai research in a cool book! =)
Overall: 9
