Mission Hills Racquet and Swim Club - Fremont, California

Alex Mikitsiuk

I’ve been using Mission Hills Racquet and Swim Club primarily for swimming, and there are several aspects I really enjoy. The outdoor heated pool is a fantastic feature, making swimming enjoyable year-round. The surrounding pines add a nice touch to the ambiance, and the chairs and umbrellas near the pool are functional and serve their purpose well.

However, there are some areas that need improvement. The men’s locker room, in particular, is a significant issue. The lockers are often dirty and filled with garbage like food containers, old tennis racquets, and dirty clothes. It can take 10-15 minutes just to find a clean locker, which is quite frustrating. Despite bringing this up with the staff multiple times, there hasn’t been any change.

The gym is small but adequate for basic workouts. It would be great to have a pull-up bar added to the equipment available.

Overall, while the club has some great features, the cleanliness and maintenance of the locker rooms need urgent attention to enhance the member experience.

I wish there was a way to give ZERO STARS. We signed up our 11 year old for lessons. The kid had zero experience in tennis and we wanted him to learn and love the game. Within 2 weeks, this horrible place made my son hate tennis and develop a fear of coaches.

The coaches have zero patience with kids. Making them do laps for making mistakes in 100+ temperatures. Ok, I can be fine with laps because it’s part of coaching in many sports. But then the coach kept telling my 11 year old that he’s wasting her time. How can you say this to an 11 year old? Are you in the business of bullying children? If you don’t like the job, QUIT!!!! How dare you bully my son?

Please keep your children safe from these horrible bullies if you love them. They literally ruined any chances of my son ever playing tennis again.

Got our family membership about a year ago, we came almost every afternoon on the weekdays. We love those tall trees which provide us some shade from getting sunburned. Also, the manager John is very kind to everyone and keen to help you find same-level hitting partners. Not even mentioned about well-maintained courts and friendly staffs/members. Highly recommended!

I attended the Adult beginning class. I left this comment because the club claimed to me that all the coaches are very experienced; however, during the class, I haven't heard my coach teaching anything for a beginner to learn basic tennis skills including front-hand, back-hand, steps skills. They asked people to do various running activities without any explanations: asked people to serve the ball out of the boundary and then asked people (as the beginner) to hit the foul ball that usually fell out of the boundary. This is definitely useless and harmful for the beginner to learn the fundamental tennis skills; no one wants to start by learning hitting the ball that is out. The activities were just like free social meetup, and people ended by keeping running on the court and using wrong body actions to hit the tennis ball. Based on that, the club's word is not trustable. I won't recommend anyone who really wants to learn tennis to attend this class.

I am only a member of the Fitness center, so this review is just for that. The fitness center is *basic* at best, and in the next 3 months, the club is planning to raise the monthly fitness membership prices to a whopping 69$ a month. Also, they are forcing us to take the swim membership, when some of us will never even use it.
Not even high end gyms with FAR MORE amenities (swimming, raquetball courts, basketball courts included) charge that much.
At Mission Hills Fitness center, there are -
- hardly any group fitness classes
- several key machines are missing
- the sauna has been shut down ever since I joined.
- the studio doesn't have an inbuilt sound system (which would be a given in even a 20$ gym)
- the yoga mats are unclean and never, ever wiped
- the room that stores yoga mats, foam rollers, blankets is NEVER put together.
At 35-40$ a month, these flaws may be acceptable, but this is definitely NOT a $65+ club that it is touting itself to be. How disappointing that the Management is gouging money from the Fitness center members, when they know that beyond the measly locker room upgrades, they haven't done anything to the gym that adds significant value for the fitness only members. Your core business is the Tennis club and you are understandably making great developments there, so increase those fees by all means, but why shoot up the gym fees when there has been virtually no needle-moving change in the fitness center.
I have zero complaints for the front desk staff, and the few group fitness trainers - they are all great, and kind, courteous people. All these complaints are for the management and their price gouging which has irked and troubled many of us fitness-only members.
Not to be petty, but even the gym coffee that used to be served in paper cups before, has now been downgraded to styrofoam cups, which are terrible for hot drinks (and for your members' healths). Definitely not what a 70$ club would do!

Having both practiced and played tournaments at the courts here in Mission Hills, I can honestly say that these are one of my, if not my most favorite places in the bay to play tennis. The courts here are very well maintained and are beautiful to play at as well, especially when looking at the peaceful surroundings. The staff also are always super friendly and helpful with any questions or requests I have had. I highly recommend the club to all who are interested!

I attended the Adult Clinic (Beginner) and quitted in the middle of the class. It is a useless and misleading class for beginners and wastes both my money and time. The content of the class is useless and misleading, which is harmful for a beginner to learn tennis. The class is a scam/joke and nothing but a social meetup event.

Passed by this facility several times and decided to check it out. The courts are newly renovated and they have thirteen to play on and parking is not an issue at all because they have a parking lot. Nice neighborhood too so I felt really safe. The best part is there is a pool area just in case you want to lounge around and catch some uv rays for a nice tan! The staff was very attentive and was able to answer any questions I had. Definitely my favorite tennis facility!
