It's a great club. I am there 3-4x per week. I signup online for all the classes on the Mindbody app. Locally owned/operated family buisness. Great customer service, great variety of classes and they have every type workout machine you could think of. Indoor/outdoor pools, basketball courts and indoor track which makes this a year round happy place! Enjoy!!

Awesome outdoor pool and slides for kids! Bar area for adults. Tons of chairs.
My 5 year old and I had a blast.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 75113338Sep 27, 2021
Not a member here, but tried out the Dolphin Cove waterpark for a Labor Day weekend day with my 3 kids and they loved it! I appreciate the different areas and attractions for kids of different sizes/ages, there is enough to do for everyone. Pool was clean, snacks and drinks were tasty and employees we're friendly.. Be sure to bring your own floaties or life jackets as they don't have any available to borrow or rent!

Not very happy that they do not monitor adult outdoor pool closer. One day this week a couple were vaping and had their own bluetooth speaker blasting their music over the club music. Today there were 4 kids in the adult pool. Another day there were 12-14 year olds taking up 4 chairs. Several workers just cruise by the pool to other areas and never look at what is going on in adult area. An adult needs to walk through the area every hour. i would not expect a 14 y/o sweeper to police the area.

Four years as a member and fhings only get better. The owners know me and my family by name, equipment is constantly being updated and the gym is spotless. Worth every penny year round.

I have mixed feelings about the SPAC. The indoor pools are great for kids in winter to get out and have fun, exercise and swim. The swimming lessons here are excellent.
The gym seems to be always busy and sometimes difficult to get the machine you want. It would be great if the other fitness area which is 24/7 be open to full members without additional cost.
Parking, yes parking...that can be a nightmare. When you want to stop off for a quick workout and its a 5min walk each way to your car or when your dragging kids through masses of cars. This would have been better to have been built in an open area north to allow for better parking and expansion capabilities.
The outdoor pools can be great fun for kids with all of the slides, rock wall, zip line, lazy river and leap frog. The downside....the lines for the water slides can be very long, the kids pool is horrible when there are so many people you can just stand there and not move or you will bump into someone.
The hours in the outside pool area need the option to extend a few hours if its warm enough. Theres nothing like it being 90s, sunny and they close the pools down.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chy R.Madison, WI11706352201Jan 18, 2017
I have volleyball league here so I can't speak for the gym. They have two volleyball courts, just letting you know because most people probably can't find their way here.
Let me preface. the PAC has been around forever. Since opening they have done some major remodels. But they've run out of room and can't build up, what's the solution? Tack on additions to existing hallways.
To get to the volleyball courts, you have to enter the coffee shop, past the weights room, through the bar, down the hallway of the racquetball courts, up the stairs and voila. They don't need a map on their website to get to their physical address, they need a map of the building.
Did Sarah Winchester design the layout? Seriously...Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0 - Sara K.Sault Ste. Marie, MI01Aug 22, 2018
We have had a family membership at the PAC since March 2017 and we love it. There is literally everything you could ask for at the club - workout machines, great classes, hot yoga, crossfit, awesome outdoor pool/waterpark for my kids (ages 4 and 7), coffee shop, bar, restaurant, massage, plus more. They also offer extra classes for the kids to take - soccer, flag football, dance.... and they have a day camp for when the kids have school off, which we utilize. I love that the daycare is included with our membership. Sometimes the hubby and I just put the kids in the daycare and they go on a mini-date at the restaurant/bar :)
The prices are a little spendy, but for how much I utilize the club, it's worth it to me. Also, a lot of people are complaining about the busy parking lot. Yes, it can be full and you may have to walk, but you are there to exercise..... They layout is a bit disjointed, but once I learned my way around, which happened quickly, then it really wasn't a problem.
The staff is great. They are always friendly and always greet you by name. I really love the PAC and I would encourage people to join. If you're going to go, it's worth every penny!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Natalia K.Sun Prairie, WI01Aug 30, 2018

Really amazing health club here in Sun Prairie. Has everything you'd ever need; weight equipment, cardio, swimming pools, basketball
courts, a ton of exercise class offerings and the best part is their outdoor water park for families in the summer. The staff is very friendly here. They also have brand new weight equipment and locker rooms.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
