I like the convenience of Nomads facility. Ive been going at different intervals during the last few years due to sickness, but most recently have returned. Having said that, I am quite surprised that showers in the womens locker room is pathetic looking and the faucets (some coming off when turning them on for water flow) in the showers continue to stay out of order! Why is that? Also one of the showers have small Gnats flying around in the middle shower stalls. Why is that? Why are treadmills, and exercise bikes not positioned on the first floor as well as the upper floors of the building. Some members with arthritis related issues find it complicated painful to climb.I hate to see this facility in decline, Its a great place for adults and for children to have swim lessons. Hopefully these issues are taken seriously and taken care ASAP. We need Nomads and the benefits that are offered to the community. Dont want the Health Dept. to condemn the building

I have been with NOMAD for about 4 years. I have watched it turn from bad to worse. The water foundations are never working. The facility is quite dirty. The ceilings are leaking. Bathrooms/showers are also never working with broken taps. There is always something that is broken and not running okay. We are looking for alternative for our kids swim lessons.

I have recently begun working out at NOMAD on a regular basis. I have a lot of wonderful things to say about them. The group fitness instructors are welcoming, friendly, talented, and all around FABULOUS! Every class is fun and provides an excellent workout.The price is right! This gym is less expensive than most other gyms with similar amenities.The front desk staff greets me with a warm hello and quickly learned my name.I really dont mind the older facilities. The showers work. The machines work. A high-quality workout is more important than beautiful facilities.As far as swim lessons, they are great! My son learned to swim here and gained lots of confidence in the water. I hope to sign up my younger daughter soon.Unfortunately, I have to give 3 stars. For months it has bugged me that there is always a television on in the child watch area. I have spoken in person to three people and sent emails through this website. My husband has sent an email to the director and nothing has changed. Our children are to be bombarded by screens for the rest of their lives. A gym should be place of health and wellness. Watching movies for an hour each morning does not fit this model. Staff have told me that it is white noise. If so, they could play music in the background. I have also been told that only educational videos are played. This is not true. Children need face-to-face time with adults and other children. They need to interact, play, problem solve, hear language, and produce language. A television goes against all these needs of young children.I really hope the television will be removed so children can have more time to interact with the adults and other children in the child watch area. The ladies who work in there are very sweet and kind to the children. Id love for my daughter to spend more time playing with these wonderful caretakers and less time bombarded by a screen that I did not choose to provide them.Many Thanks!

Learning method it is excellent, my daugther is lersning very fast and is happy with the monitors. However there is a lack of hygiene and I am considering that is one of the most important things on a swimming installations. The walls and the floor of the warm swimming pool are very dirty, the looker room and the showers are a mess.For example, parents and visitors use the shoes that they wear outside, and the students walk barefooted for the same floor. That is unhealthy.

I would give this place minus rating with NO STAR!DO NOT GET A MEMBERSHIP HERE!!All employees are rude and their behavior are humiliating and racial.Their communication channel is very poor. They do not stick on their own words.Rescheduling or Makeup class is impossible even if you inform them a week or two before. they will not respond any email on that. If you will ask them at the reception they will say send an email. After that no one will respond on it.NOT AT ALL worth your money

Their coach cancelled a lesson and I requested a cancellation day before another lesson but they say their system shows lessons were given.Though I shared emails between us to show two remaining lessons, they didnt respond.So be ready to be denied lessons on their whims and fancy.Instructors change often and the I dont even want to start on their pool and restroom cleaniless and temperature maintenance!My worst experience with a local business in area.

If I could give this place no stars I would! This place is terrible. DO NOT GET A MEMBERSHIP HERE!! The owners wife is rude. The place is not groomed at all. The bathrooms stink so bad all the time. The child watch room is small and humid. The ceiling is rusting. It smells like mold. The YMCA is so much better. They need to do better. NOT worth your money.

I have taken my 6 year old there for swimming for the past year and a half. He has learned to swim and is also learning basic swim techniques. The instructor is so good with him and really knows how to be patient yet strict with a hyper little boy.I also go to the workout classes! Its like a second family everyone in the class talks to one another and has a fun time and the workouts are amazing and there are so many options.

*Buyer Beware*I’m not one to ever leave a bad review, but our experience was SO terrible that I have to share in hopes of letting others know who they are dealing with if they enroll their children in the Swim Academy. Jessica, who is currently “managing” the program is incredibly unprofessional, rude, and aggressive. Several other Skybrook residents have shared similar negative reactions with her, so this is not an isolated experience.Despite having a regular instructor assigned to each swim class online, my daughter regularly had a different instructor each week. While the class was always covered by a sub, management does not take into account (or care) about the effect this inconsistency may have on the kids. My daughter was always hesitant to jump in the pool with a new instructor that she did not recognize. After emailing Jessica to ask if the inconsistency with instructors is something likely to continue (along with raising a safety issue with one of the sub instructors-who admitted to me upon pulling my daughter out of the lesson that he didnt know how to teach the Rubber Ducky class), a portion of her outrageous 12-point reply is below.(Instructor name here--blocked for privacy) was offered the lead in the school play and we had to find someone to take over her class. If you have issues with her parents decision to allow her to pursue this academic interest for a short period of time, I would be happy to find out if they wish to hear your parenting tips and your opinion on how their decisions as parents have affected your daughters lessons. Currently we do not have indentured servants and we all worked together to make things work. I found a permanent sub for your class after (instructor name here blocked for privacy) was the sub. However that instructor no-showed - without notice. Out of respect for your time and effort coming to the pool, we were able to find a sub in the moment - who is very qualified and a strong teacher. In the future if you wish for us to wait for you to get to the pool, then cancel it, and send you and the other parents in the classes home with their children, we can discuss this and let them know why this is a change to our policy.This is who you are dealing with if you enroll your child in swim lessons here. I brought my issue up to the General Manager, who was apologetic and embarrassed by the reply. However, Im not confident she has much influence over the program.Avoid this place at all costs! There are plenty of other places that offer a much better experience overall.

I love my Nomad family. I go here because after all these years the people I work out with have become my friends outside the gym, I like Les Mills workouts and love the instructors- and it’s super convenient to where I live. But.... I wish the owners would invest in and focus on the condition of the fitness side of the facility. It’s in desperate need of remodeling from the bathrooms to the exercise rooms to the relocated weight room. Nomad’s aquatic center seems to be successful but the fitness side needs some TLC - it has the capacity to be a wonderful gym.

Getting a good swim instructor for my kids has been hit or miss. The pool can be quite nasty at times. If you are a minority you would experience racial bias here!!! Be prepared to be scrutinized each time you enter the building even if you only stepped out for a few minutes and want to go back in. My kids used to love this place, but not anymore. Buyer beware..It is very family unfriendly..so it’s your choice if you want to get a membership

I’ve been a member since opening. New management changing this turning place into swim focus only. Weight room disappearing, cardio room cut in half. Swim kids and private instruction constantly taking good equipment. Place is never clean and temperature never consistent. No air purifiers and equipment never disinfected. Beware. Plenty of other good options in the area. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.

The pool is never regularly cleaned. Sometimes it looks like the tub looks, after your kids have played outside all day and you give them a bath. A dirty ring around the pool.

I just moved to the area so I decided to try their 3 day trial. When I got there they told me there is a $2 fee they charge non members for childcare. Not such a big deal but not a good idea if you are trying to win my business. Anyway I pay and we get directions to the childcare room. The first thing I notice is how hot the building is and it is only May!!! The childcare room is a small room at the bottom of some stairs. The room was so stuffy!!!The two girls working there had an attitude too. When I walked in they acted like I was a bother. I had already paid $2 for childcare so I decided to proceed to the spin class.The spin class was not only a tight squeeze, the bikes look like they were bought in 1990, and the room had no AC. I could hardly breathe. Needless to say I did not even finish my 3 day trial. I know nothing about their swim section but the gym services were just below par!!! Their rates are as high as YMCA so dont even bother.

Review №45

This place has gotten really bad, really fast. Pool pump consistently broken. Broken fitness equipped being left for over a month with no indication of when a repair will happen. They have rules for the gym which they never enforce, there always seems to be mostly naked teenagers who wont let anyone else use equipment. Ive even had a group of women refuse to let anyone use any equipment in the whole weight room, when they were only using one machine, stating all machines were in use by them.The worst part, though, is that the staff at nomad DONT CARE. I brought some of these to their attention (multiple staff), and they just shrugged and said there were plenty of other gyms in the area we could go to. So Id take their advice, and stay far away from this gym and go to one of the others in area!

Review №48

We have been members at this sorry excuse for a gym for around a year. Here are all the things we have found wrong and why we are moving on:1 - Broken and out-dated exercise equipment. This gym has neglected its treadmill equipment for months. When they finally replaced a couple of units, they did not even bother to include up to date equipment for connecting modern smartphones (the treadmills are incompatible with iPhone 5 and on, and are not at all compatible with Android smartphones). I know that this is not super critical, but it is helpful. Other than that, though, like I said, 3-4 treadmills were inoperable for weeks to months at a time. AND - the treadmill room gets very hot during these summer months.2 - The swimming pool situation is pitiful. As another reviewer mentioned, the pool pump is broken at times, leaving the water nasty and the pool (for kids, beginning swimmers) very dirty. We just came from our last visit to swim there and we saw that there are basically piles of dirt in parts of the pool! I know of city pools that would shut down temporarily to clean everything if this were the case! Absolutely disgusting pool!3 - Again, on swimming - the “new owners” have a schedule for swim lessons, which I can understand. However, on Sundays, there is basically ZERO time for open swimming, and it effectively means that if you want to teach your kids to swim you most nearly have to purchase the swim lessons. We have gone their many times and it is always, always difficult to get in any uninterrupted swimming with our youngest son as we try to teach him. It is usually the case where the lifeguards ask you to get out of a perfectly open lane, that is marked as reserved for lessons, and yet the lane sits there with no one using it for a half hour at a time! After our latest problem in this regard, it was the final straw and we have left the gym. I am fighting to get our money back for half of July, as well, I am so angry!I cannot comment on other aspects of the gym, exactly, but others have said that the racket ball courts are nasty and have condensation on the walls, probably mold, as well.Overall, it is not worth the $80/month for a family of four. Do yourself a favor and pay a little more for better options at Huntersville Aquatics and the YMCA. You will be glad you did!
