Miami Lakes Athletic Club

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.

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 is a great place to practice badminton. The level of the game is from beginners to professionals. In the hall there are four courts, in the main play doubles and mixed, at the end of the coaching you can play singles. Training sessions are held three times a week: Tuesday 19:30 - 21:45, Thursday 19:30 - 21:45, Sunday 8:00 - 14:45. There are changes in the schedule, so it is better to call the club before visiting. I recommend this club for all badminton fans 🏸 👍

It's nearly impossible to play basketball here since their indoor court is always packed. Whether it's little league, cheerleading, badminton, or basketball tournaments and practices for kids, the court is constantly in use. If you don't have a job, your best chance is to use it very early in the morning or at 12 pm. They also have outdoor basketball courts, but those are primarily used for kids' basketball practices too. It's frustrating that the only available time to use the court is an hour before the gym closes, if you're lucky."

Both my husband and I have membership at this gym and our daughter goes to the Scooby Doo tennis class here. This gym has very good infrastructure and is very clean with friendly and helpful staff. It gives you the feeling of a big family. It feels like going home when you enter this gym, safe and welcomed. Both my personal trainer Ricky, and the youth tennis coach, another Ricky, are professional, easygoing and just simply great people!
