Pine Lake Club Trial Membership: Follow Up
We spent the evening at the Pine Lake Club to take advantage of our
trial
membership. We dropped by the Kids Club to deposit the kids only to
find out that a reservation is required (no mention of this was made to
us during our tour). Fortunately they had some room, but otherwise we
would have been out of luck. Also, the Kids Club was free on Saturday
for us as "trial members", but today we were informed we would be
required to pay. This caught us off guard as we had not brought any
form of payment with us.
So while Kristy went upstairs to work out, I headed back home. Not a
great start. Once I did return to the Club, I joined Kristy upstairs.
Neither one of us were particularly impressed with the gym area.
I can't recall now the brand of the weight machines
When we were given the tour, particular attention was given to the
fancy-pants weight machines by
TechnoGym, but each machine that
I tried was quite awkward to use. Kristy used many of the same machines
I did and many machines that I did not use. Her impression was the
same - awkward to use.
We collected the kids after an hour in the gym, changed into swim suits,
and made our way to the pool area. We were able to use the small
(warmer) pool today. The kids had a great time (of course), and I was
able to swim about 1000 yards in the lap pool. The pool is nice. After
our swim, Berkeley took another long shower in his own private shower
stall... he added some singing to his shower today. It was pretty
funny.
It's too bad about the gym machines - I think that might be the deal
breaker.
