Asheville Racquet Club South

Just moved to Asheville and I had been looking for a gym that offered childcare (I know it’s a wild thought but I had to try). I’m a stay at home mama who desperately needs to work out. This is probably the nicest facility I have ever been to. I’ve visited both and while I do love both locations, I prefer the South location because it’s closer to me. I’m always greeted with a smile by Allie who was so helpful in getting me signed up for the gym. The ladies down at daycare are so nice and welcoming to my little guy! I’ve had a lot of anxiety about taking him out or leaving him places, but they ease all of it! I especially love that the gym and daycare room are so close in proximity that if I wanted to, I can take a quick peek to see if my kid was having a good time. Overall, I’m loving it.nThis place makes me want to stay all day!

It does feel like family when I walk in the door. Love this community!

Excellent facility. Excellent teaching pros. Have 8 new pickleball courts. Highly recommend!

Nice club but mask wearing is NOT enforced by owner despite signs on front door. So, unless you are not worried about Covid, expect to see non mask wearing attendants at front desk and non mask wearing people in the lobby. You can complain to management, but the results are short acting. I have been a member for years and loved it before Covid. It is sad that simple rules are not enforced.

We are relatively new members at the Asheville Racquet Club and are so impressed by the quality of the staff that you have hired.nnWe have belonged to various gyms over the last forty years in several different major cities in the United States; as well as four other clubs in the Asheville area.nnThe team that you have put together for racquet sports and for all other features of your club is very encouraging. This includes the grounds, the clubhouse, the front desk, etc.nnThe one we are the most grateful for is Dustin Drucker, the personal trainer that you were able to hire. We have had about five hours of instruction from him and are so delighted with our progress and our enjoyment of coming to the ARC.nnIt doesn't take long to get stale with the same routine with weights when you look around at the other ARC equipment that is available but are not sure how to use it. We are now learning to enjoy many different ways to be in shape and to enjoy the process of learning, of challenging, and of attending ARC regularly. (We missed for two weeks due to an incidental Covid exposure, tested negative, waited the full two weeks and then came back.)nnDustin Drucker has more education, training, certifications and experience than we thought possible for in a personal trainer. At seventy and seventy-six years of age, we can not recover from an inexperienced trainer's instruction that causes us damage.nnMr. Drucker is clear in his instruction and can confidently modify exercises for bad elbows, thanks to racquetball, and backs, thanks to living long. He is helping us to become stronger, energized about exercising,and committed to having a long term relationship with ARC. We have had other personal trainers in the past forty years and he is by far the very best most knowledgeable personal trainer.nnWe have seen him with a variety of other ARC members. He is versatile to be able to challenge the young jocks as easily as he can challenge my husband and I. He is a great asset for ARC.
