AMAX Fitness

I have been a member for eight years thus far.  Before that I was at Lifetime and before that I was at LA Fitness.  I like Riviera the best of all.  In the entire eight years my monthly fee has not gone up.  We pay $125 for the wife and myself plus $100 a year for a locker so I can keep stuff there and never need to bring sneakers or swim suit or deodorant, etc... it's all there.  I also like that you get towels when you arrive.  I greatly enjoy the hot tub - adults only- and that they keep kids out of the locker room/ how cool is that?  It's private, clean, and quiet every time!  There are several work out areas with tons of equipment and free weights.  I have never once had to wait- or limit my time in anything.  There's basketball, tennis, in and outdoor pools, and sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi.  I am there sometimes for hours at a time.  There are plenty of free classes - yoga and jazzercise things which my wife goes to regularly.  I have never once had a problem with anyone unfriendly.  Yes - the staff rotated a lot but I think it's bc kids go to college, etc and these are often temporary positions - i can't see that as a negative- what's the big deal?The clients are generally empty nesters like us - but there are a lot of families too.  There are personal trainers you can hire at fair prices- the wife and I have totally achieved our fitness goals here and we did not anywhere else.  Also, someone said something bad about the walking/ jogging track they have - it's probably the best one I ever ran on / it's made of a soft cushiony material so it's easier on the feet - ten times around us a mile - it's excellent.The place is always clean.They always add new things.They keep it up well - even though it appears 70s - Esque in some areas.I would say go get a tour - ok it's not modern but at least you don't have thousands of people there all the time!  And the pools are perfectly refreshing and perfectly clean at all times.I am a long time member and I also go the Charter Fitness bc I also train there - the Riviera is definitely my preferred gym - it's big, huge, private, clean, has a spin room, free weight area, machines I use, and an awesome jogging path.  The poor reviews are unfair to them- they try very hard to keep members going.   They dont go over the top to kiss your butt but they are in deed friendly enough.

Really nice place to workout, swim or play tennis. The equipment is older but still in good shape for the most part and there is plenty of it.  Pretty sure all the classes are free and they have them in the bike room  - very nice bikes - and in the aerobics studio. The swimming pools are both well-maintained and kept at good temperatures and there are more than enough seats by the outside pool and some good spots to get out of the sun.  Tennis courts inside and out.  Again. Well maintained. Best of all, there are lots of friendly people,  including the owners of this nice family-owned club.  Except George.  He can be cranky.  But it's not his fault.  He is old. More...

We have been members since 2007.  It is a great place if you don't care about fancy.  People are very nice and helpful.  We like to play tennis, use the inside track and attend classes.  The instructors are good.  Definitely could use some new carpet and updating of the bathrooms.  We overlook that for convenience.  The restaurant attached, Gatto's is very good and you get 10% off if you are a Riv member.
