Midlothian Athletic Club

I take private tennis lessons and tennis clinics here and have even attended a summer tennis camp. My tennis instructor's name is Doug Wright and he is an excellent coach. He provides constructive feedback and I enjoy coming to my lessons. I would highly recommend him for anyone who wants to improve.
MAC has been perfect for our family... Easy to book tennis courts for my wife and I and they have both clay and new indoor hard courts to choose from. During the day, my wife loves the bodypump classes and doesn't worry when leaving our 4 year old with their awesome childcare staff.
I've been going to this place for almost a year now since June 2013, I have never had an issue, there's always enough weights or machines, group classes are usually on time, only a few times they have been cancelled, they post this information only on their facebook page, this is a minor nitpick for me but at least they have something figured out as a communication method, indoor pool is not too crowded, installations are clean, have never used tennis facilities so I can't say anything about those.
This facility is very run down. The fitness equipment is outdated and the number of machines is extremely limited. Although there is a trained staff, the variety and frequency of fitness classes is limited compared to other area fitness centers. Trained staff does not apply to the aquatics department. The indoor pool has a leaking roof. The 20 year old pool decking and showers are moldy. Usually the smell of chlorine is so intense, just being in the pool area makes your eyes burn. More unfortunate is the fact that kids are not welcome. There are very few activities for older kids and young children are kept in a cramped room. With ACAC's updated facility, American Family's new complex under construction and a new state of the art Gold's Gym all in the Midlothian area, Robious S&F is not even worth a complimentary tour.
The MAC got a facelift recently and looks great! Great facilities, wonderful service, and it seems to get better every time I go back!
