Verandah Club

Nice venue in need of new equipment. Locker room needs to be refreshed. I like the convenience but they need to step it up. When we first joined coming from Lifetime… they proudly said we are no Lifetime… sadly they are correct!

Very nice workout facility with all the fixin’s — weight room, numerous cardio machines, indoor pool, spa, steam rooms, boutique, outdoor pool, tennis, whirlpools, indoor and outdoor tracks, racquet ball, a crossfit-​type set up, etc. Only ding is the number of weight machines for the patrons can be a bit tight at times. Helpful staff, clean facility, nice locker rooms and showers.

After 4 years of loving my club… we have parted ways. I’m now going to join The Cooper Fitness Center. The Verandah Club used to be great and lately has been sub par. Their billing deptartment chose to send me to collections when my autopay was declined. I had given them updated credit card information when our account was compromised and updated our address change when we sold our previous business. They chose not to make a phone call (same number since 1996) and instead continued to send bills to an address that was two years old. Scott the manager and I finally spoke after several unreturned phone calls and he apologized and said I simply «slipped through the cracks». Well, so did my 5 star rating. Best wishes to those who can deal with administrative errors that are offensive.

Who knew heaven existed on the other side of I-​35… indoor pool is fantastic… facilities are perfect for daily training needs

THE best kept fitness secret in Dallas. Toting the city’s nicest 25m pool, The Verandah attracts a great crowd of members and respectful patrons.

Oh Verandah Club how I love you so. This is the best health club in Dallas bar none. Conveniently attached to the Hilton Anatole hotel, it offers everything a gym rat or casual exerciser could love. Free weights? Absolutely? Feel like playing tennis or racquetball for awhile? How about a swim in the insanely large lap pool, or a nice dip in the outside pool on a hot day with a swim up bar? The Verandah Club has you covered. I come to Dallas often and always look forward to either staying at the Anatole Hotel or coming here (your Hilton Diamond status will get you in for free) even when I’m not. And, after a few hours (or a long day) of physical activity you can go relax in either their Eucalyptus Steam Room, hot tub, or dry sauna like a true gentleman, or gentlewoman. The Eucalyptus Steam Room is amazing! Its like an enjoyable gas chamber that will not only open up your sinuses but leave you amazingly refreshed. After that you can unwind with a shower in their very clean and sumptuously adorned locker rooms that sports any and all toiletries you might need, a lounge area to relax and complimentary bottled water and other beverages. My highest regards and a staple for all my stopovers in Dallas!

Excellent service, best locker room in Dallas, wonderful wet area… all at an excellent price point. The weight area could be updated and so could the basketball court but the pool, wet area, locker rooms, showers, and studios are top notch.

The Verandah Club is alot like the country club you always wished you could join, but never quite wanted to cough up the fees. Or maybe you don’t golf or play tennis, but you still wanted a club membership because there’s no better place to wear that sweater vest.
That’s why you should go to the Verandah Club. I echo everyone’s sentiments about how it’s an urban oasis of country clubby chicness.
The layout is kinda tricky. Depending on where you park, (Anatole) you either hike across a lush «garden», or you actually figure out to park at the club (entrance off Wycliff) and park next to tennis courts to wind your way around to the annex. If you make it this far and actually find the club, you’re in good shape. Next, you have to find the front desk. Lest you’re not in scavenger hunt mode, I’ll just tell you: It’s down a hallway and not visible from the front doors. Yeah Muffy, that’s that country club exclusivity feeling hitting you right between the eyes. Members only! Once you finally find the front desk, you realize the actual gym is upstairs, even though you might have already had your workout navigating the labyrinth. It has a decent array of equipment. However, a gym is a gym for the most part. I’m here today to talk about the coolest equipment this side of Milan’s Design District, located in the fitness studio downstairs. (Gym. . upstairs.. . fitness studio. . downstairs. .. tennis courts, to the left. Ok, got it?)
The Kinesis machine. Kinesis is what James Bond would have in his house. It’s a wall unit of sleek sexiness that relies simply on cables, pulleys, and resistance for movement. It’s like an upright Pilates machine, but it’s not. This makes a cable crossover machine look as clunky and elementary as…well, an elementary school P.E. class. The finish at the Verandah club is woodgrain, but I hear there’s a mirrored façade too. .. .and maybe *THAT* version is for Austin Powers vs. James Bond…
The concept of Kinesis is hard to explain, but Cara is an awesome instructor and after a session with her, you just feel cooler, stronger, leaner, tighter. She does both personal training on the machine as well as group classes. She will put you through the alpha, beta, and gamma movements and makes it really easy to follow her lead. (Yes, really! — forget the SQUAT. Ugh. What an ugly word. Give me some GAMMA!) You get an incredible workout like nothing you’ve ever had before AND you feel like a superhero while doing it. I personally can’t think of anything better.

This facility is absolutely gorgeous & is likely to make you forget that you’re in a bustling city. The indoor pool is very clean and has a great view of the outside from the large windows along the wall and the ceiling. The hot tub and shower areas are spacious and welcoming, as well. All of the equipment is kept in good working order, and the locker room is spotless. The outdoor pool is very well kept and has plenty of space to spread out and enjoy a beautiful day. The bartenders are helpful and quick, so you won’t be waiting long for a drink. It took me a minute to remember that I was mere minutes from downtown Dallas given the greenery and open sky. Overall, this place feels more like a spa than a gym, so kick back & enjoy!

So you are a business traveler and you like to work out. The local hotels advertise a gym which consists of 5 antiquated machines and a 20 television
Not at The Verandah Club. This is a workout facility, which happens to be part of a hotel. The Verandah club has 4 racquetball courts, 2 squash courts, a basketball court, yoga classes, a running track and 5 square feet of weights… all kinds of weights, barbells, dumbbells and other nautilus type of machines.
One of the best places to relieve a little stress after work
