What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Columbia Athletic Club at Silver Lake generally receives overwhelmingly positive reviews, particularly praised for its family-friendly environment, clean and modern facilities, and excellent tennis programs, which feature numerous courts, clinics, and a dedicated director. Members appreciate the flexible hours, the popular kids' club, and the impressive indoor and outdoor pools. Many families express extreme satisfaction with the swim lessons, highlighting the coaches' ability to build confidence, make lessons fun, and foster significant progress in children, calling the program a 'game-changer.'

5 stars for the swim lessons! We're beyond thrilled with the swim lessons at Columbia Athletic Club at Silver Lake! Our three kids have been part of this program off and on for over 2 years, and they've absolutely loved it. The coaches excel at building confidence and comfort in the water, all while keeping it fun and engaging - our kids can't wait to come back each week! We've witnessed remarkable progress and growth in their confidence and skill, thanks to our coaches' caring and tailored approach to our kids' needs. The club is clean, friendly, and the staff is great! This program has been a total game-changer for our family - we're so grateful!

We love this gym! Our family has found so much for all of us. We love the flexible hours, the kids club is so great for our little one he loves it, and the indoor and outdoor pool is amazing. I personally have met so many amazing tennis players and really improved my game since joining. We have not had any bad experiences here! Thank you :)

I have been a member with this club since 1987 when they had their Mill Creek location. Glad they moved away from Mill Creek to the Silver Lake area. The club is clean and great for kids. Furthermore the tennis facility is A+, and Mark the director keeps the tennis program in full swing!

Do not bring your children here for swim lessons. I want to be very clear. The swim lessons for children are a complete scam. We spent more than 2 months trying to get a swim lessons. The instructor canceled at the last minute, flaked out numerous times, and forgot during an actual lesson she was giving a lesson. And yet we were charged each week. We complained and nothing changed for weeks. We will make it our life’s mission now to spread the word how horribly we were scammed. They think they got the best of us, but we will bring down this program one review at at time.

Columbia is a great club. The equipment is modern and clean. The tennis facilities are great (6 indoor and 3 outdoor courts), with available clinics, drills and private lessons. Indoor and outdoor (summer) pools.
