What are people saying (AI review summary)? La Mariposa receives praise from long-term members for its diverse class offerings, a heated pool, and convenient childcare. Some members are enthusiastic about upcoming renovations and the potential for new classes. However, multiple reviews critically highlight the facility's severely run-down and outdated condition, citing issues such as dirty showers, erratic pool heating, and broken locker room facilities. There is widespread frustration over unfulfilled promises of renovations and organizational shortcomings, including inaccurate class schedules and perceived internal staff tension. Despite its good location and potential, these issues lead some members to seek alternative fitness solutions.

I don't get the negative reviews on here...La Mariposa has been my "go-to" fitness solution since 2008. We get the family three-year plan which basically gives you almost a year free each time based on the costs of the one year. I'm a daily morning swimmer, and LesMills RPM. In fact, my best days include an hour swim followed by RPM - almost a triathlon! Although I've been on deployment for over three years, I was recently certified as a Group Fitness Instructor and hope to start leading some classes like RPM, Body PUMP, or perhaps bring some new ones in. I know they're planning a huge renovation in the near term, and I'm excited to join in their success and bring my zeal for fitness to the wonderful members. Looking forward to getting back at it - EVERY REP COUNTS!

What an incredible spot for a club. I have spent time last year and this year with a punch card. Despite this great location, the facility is very run down and needs some serious loving. The people are terrific, but I heard the same last year, that I did this year. Remodel is coming...and coming. The womens locker room is very old, last week as I used a locker the door fell off its hinges. The showers are dirty, the heater in the pool is erratic. The sad thing is that there are not many clubs on the east side, so this place could be AMAZING...but its not. Sad to say.

Just tried to go to a Body Balance class and called to confirm the time this morning (since they laughingly shared with me last time that their online schedule is never up to date). Was told that the class is at 10:15 am. When I arrived, I found out the class was at 9:30 am. Had completely rescheduled my morning around it. Second time this has happened. Very frustrating. I LOVE the class - but the La Mariposa organization itself leaves a lot to be desired.

The facility is so old and outdated. No signs of upgrades. The staff for the most part is good but too much politics and I go every day. The tension is so obvious. I will be looking for s more suitable facility
