What are people saying (AI review summary)? Mariner Square Athletic Club generally receives positive feedback, with members praising its diverse activities, including racquetball, Crossfit, and a variety of classes. Many commend the friendly staff and members, spacious locker rooms—especially a recently remodeled women's facility complete with a private jacuzzi and swimsuit extractor—and amenities such as steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs, and free towel service. The indoor pool is appreciated for its natural light and comfortable chlorine levels, while the main jacuzzi's powerful jets are also a plus.

At one time this place was amazing. It definitely needs some updates, it looks wore out. Family night should be cut to two hours instead of three. It interferes with working seniors swimming workouts. They need to keep an eye on children not being in the pool or hot tub area on week days. Other then that it is ok.

I really enjoy going to Mariners Square Athletic Club. I go primarily to practice and play both league and pickup #Racquetball along with many others. My rating is 4 out of 5 because I would like more attention to the cleanliness of the courts. I know they get their fair use but I also feel that the floors should and can definitely be better maintained. Sadly the Café was closed by the management. Not sure why but that little Café was a nice retreat afterwards where we enjoyed some healthy food and conversation.

Mariner Square is an amazing facility! I sell my coconut oil based skincare line in their lobby once a month. The members and staff are always friendly. I love to swim in the indoor pool- so much natural light and not too heavily chlorinated. Tons of free classes with membership. The locker rooms have steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs and free towel service. It's definitely a five-star club.

I've been member of many gyms across the U.S. and I love this one for the diversity of activities, classes, and offerings they present. The locker room is big and spacious and whether it's 6am or 6pm, I've never had an issue waiting for a shower or getting a locker. I joined mostly because of its Crossfit box, which is very well equipped and superbly staffed by the coolest trainers ever.

I joined Mariner Square Athletic Club a month ago so I could swim and use the jacuzzi to help with a serious back problem. The staff member who enrolled me was very helpful. I was underwhelmed by the women's locker room facilities, but guess what! They were soon to open a beautiful remodeled women's shower/spa/locker facility that even has a water extractor for your swimsuit. There is a small jacuzzi that will hold 8 people within the women's locker room so one need not suit up. I can't speak to the exercise equipment because I am not well enough to use it. The big pool is old but serviceable. The main jacuzzi's water is hot enough and the jets are powerful. I took the cheaper membership at $60 a month because I can come in during the day before 4PM. That mostly works.
