Ok, the Vail Athletic Club is great when you're the only one there. But, take a typical weeknight there for instance: One third of the entire workout area is dedicated to the climbing wall zone which holds about 20 yelling overconfident obnoxious 8 year olds and that to me amounts to a daycare center, even at 7pm. I'm working out at 7:30pm and if there's not someone already vaccuming around me, they are standing in the entryway watching to see when I will finish so they can run over and vaccume, and they close at 9! Then in the middle of all this in apparently the only space available a personal trainer has about ten people spread out on the floor of the main workout area stretching. This is on the main ""thoroughfare"" for people using benches and equipment to navigate to the other side, treadmills, etc. Ridiculous! The only leg curl machine is terrible, one can't even get their leg in resting position to be at 90 degrees.. needs replaced! And now they have the nerve to increase the membership rate from $90 to $120 dollars per month!! On the plus side, friendliest staff I've ever encountered at a health club. Awesome hot tubs/cryotherapy, steam room, dry sauna, and outdoor hot tubs, well maintained and great setting. And the other members are extremely courteous and friendly. Thanks!
