I would give ESAC an ok rating except for one thing, and for me it's major: the promise of a "swimming pool " at the Johnnie Dodds location is a cruel joke. It's closed down for 5 hours every Friday afternoon for cleaning, raising questions of exactly what kind of contamination is going on there. The weekday morning hours are taken up with wall-to-wall water aerobics classes. Weekends the pool is filled with kids. The manager did absolutely nothing when I complained and she didn't seem to know the pool was not available Friday mornings due to their aerobics schedule. She also said this would probably be a temporary situation, but 4 months later, it seems to be permanent. I cannot understand why the management feels it's acceptable to clean the pool on members' time rather than during their own (plentiful) closed hours. If you like swimming at 6am or 8pm, which I've had to get used to, then this is the right pool for you. Otherwise, keep looking.
Pros: Machines and cardio equipment are relatively well- maintained
Cons: No consideration for swimmers
