Miami Lakes Athletic Club

"I've been a member of this club for two years. Nice friendly staff. I mainly use the tennis facilities and the courts are acceptable, but the night lighting needs to be improved. Club members are mostly friendly, and the rest rooms are clean. If you're on Medicare, this club is Silver Sneakers certified."

"I normally don’t write reviews. However, this review needs to be brought to attention because although the gym is very nice and it offers different classes and it’s always clean the worst part of this gym is the front desk clerks that work there every day I come in, not only I’m not greeted. I’m not even greeted goodbye. They are too busy among each other each other, looking at their phones, talking nonsense And not paying attention who is coming in or out of the gym/ This is major security measure in my eyes because anybody can walk in and they won’t even bother to say anything Of who they are, or if they’re a member, I’ve gone there for months on end not once ever scanned nor Ben acknowledge. I’ve gone during the day on the weekends and they’re too busy folding towels not paying attention of who’s coming in out. I’m at asking them of the front desk to be overly friendly but just acknowledge people when they come in and out many times I’ve come my girlfriend we say thank you have a nice night and they don’t say anything back so like I said gym Is really nice and clean, but the staff should be replaced with people that have certain levels of respect or Customer Service skills"

"My husband and I joined MLAC soon after we moved to Miami Lakes. We were excited to have accessible tennis courts near us but we were in for so much more. As an avid league tennis player, I soon booked private lessons with Ricky. He is amazing. Most coaches don’t bother trying to change your technique when you’re an amateur player. Ricky slowly did, worked on my weaknesses and has elevated my game where I get compliments on my form. I highly recommend him for players of all levels. Courts have gotten the care they needed and now are in great shape! We also take semi private training sessions with Ricky, fitness trainer on the second floor. He is very knowledgeable and caring. He focuses on exercises that will help us avoid injury and strengthen our body. We love him. Staff at desk is mostly nice (very few don’t even make eye contact but no biggie). They offer fresh towels daily and they do a good job keeping the place clean. I’ve used the pool and gone to the restaurant. Nothing bad to say since I can apply my member discount. We love MLAC and it makes living in Miami Lakes so much better!"

"This club has a nice footprint and a lot of nice features for avid tennis players. 6 clay courts and one with Stadium seating as well as 3 hard courts on the other side of the building. They also offer indoor PickleBall on the basketball courts with temporary nets. The tennis club needs a few million in renovations. I’d convert the hard courts into PickleBall as well and a few Padel courts. Also plenty of parking in the lot in the heart of downtown Miami Lakes as well as full fitness center and services."

"Cons: Gym itself (upstairs) is fairly small, with little to offer when it's crowded. Lots of teenagers and elderly with little in between. Machines are frequently broken. Pros: staff is generally really nice. Lots of cardio machines and space for recreational activities (basketball, tennis)."
