Burke Racquet & Swim Club

I’ve come here to give my kids swimming lessons.
I’ve come here when my kids were little tots to use the nursery.
I’ve come here to use the massage services to get my back back in order.
I’ve come here to use the weight and cardio facilities
I’ve come here back in my tennis playing days
I’ve come here for as long as I can remember, and I will continue to come here and to bring my family.

I tried one of their clinic on Saturday for my child, they had only one pro with 12 kids.
The kids were all in different age and different tennis ability and they would rally together.
It was not good for us.
My son tried few other clinics at Burke during the week great quality, much better than the one on Saturday.

Love this gym. All of the employees are great. The Kids Zone employees are lovely and great with kids. The camps are terrific. The variety and frequency of aerobics classes is awesome. I’ve worked with a personal trainer, Lynnda, who is wonderful. Yes, the décor is a little bland and dated. Otherwise, it is a nice place for regular people. They have towel service, saunas, showers, lockers. The only thing I haven’t liked is a pregnancy massage I had a few years back, but I think the masseuse just wasn’t a good fit for me.
Just beware of the morning AquaFit classes — the locker rooms get ovewhelmed with elderly ladies — they’re nice, but it makes for a very full house!

The Racquet & Swim Club is perfect for my wife and I. One of the biggest draws for us is how close it is, we can walk to it from our house. So if you live in the Burke Centre that is a huge plus.
We don’t make any use of the Raquet & Swim Club components. I would agree with the other commenter about the work out equipment, it is OK but nothing special.
The real value at Racquet & Swim Club is the classes. For your membership you have unlimited access to the nearly 30 classes, boot camp cardio, yoga, kick boxing, etc. We make classes both before and after work during the course of the week. If you want to make use of workout classes this is a real deal.

This place is not for everyone.
I was in the market to join a gym again and I was rather surprised to find out this place was $ 10++ more than Golds or Ballys. Its a very small fitness club with limited cardio equipment. It does have an indoor pool and indoor tennis courts but there extra money to use. This place also offers a few racquet ball courts you can rent (if your a member).
If your simply looking for a gym to work out in this is a poor choice for you as the equipment is limited and their rates are not very competitive with larger gyms that offer more equipment.
However, in BRSC defense I could see how this place may attract novice or older folks who want a quieter setting for personal training or folks with disposable income who want to play indoor tennis. On the other hand high school swim teams seem to practice/​hold events here and when I went there were teenagers running around everywhere.

**3.5 stars**
I really like this gym. Its not large or overwhelming with people battling to use the equipment. The proximity to my home is an absolute bonus.
I kidnapped my best friend’s boyfriend in order to join as a «couple» under the Everything/​Full Membership program, and couldn’t be more pleased. I have subtracted a star (s) for the additional fees for the rock climbing wall and tennis courts. I feel if you are paying to use the entire facility, then it should be just that. Plus, it would be AWESOME if they had a b-​ball court, which they do not.
