Good place if you're serious about your workout
by robsch at Citysearch
It may not have a huge spa with valet parking, but the Pine Lake Club has what you need to get in shape.
The equipment is refreshed regularly and is kept well maintained. The fitness staff are very knowledgable, and even open minded to alternative fitness philosophies.
The clientele in general seem serious about their workout as opposed to, e.g. looking for dates. I've seen everyone from high school athletes to young moms to professionals to committed bodybuilders.
I've recently started taking some of the fitness classes they offer for free to members - they're great, and I'm seeing really impressive results in their adaptation of the "Body Pump" methodology. The Mind Body classes are extra ($5 apiece or $15/month) but offer a good variety of yoga, pilates courses. I really enjoyed the yoga course I took.
- Pros: staff, classes, equipment
- Cons: dated facility, limited parking

It's the staff that make Pine Lake great
by mpriley8 at Citysearch
While PLC may not have the depth of the ProClub the staff is top notch and there is not an ounce of snobbiness there. Families are welcome and people are there to get fit and pursue their personal fitness goals. No hard sell or hidden costs.
- Pros: great hours, family friendly, approachable staff
- Cons: so so parking, some programs limited
