The Penthouse operates from May – September. Actual opening and closing dates are weather dependent. Only Penthouse members and their guests may access the Penthouse Pool and Lounge. VIDA members wishing to upgrade their membership to include access to the Penthouse should submit an inquiry to info@vidafitness.com.
The Penthouse Pool and Lounge has a strict age limit of 21+ and all guests must present a valid, government issued photo ID at the 1st Floor check-in station in order to be granted access.
Penthouse members must reserve their Lounge Chair, Cabana, or Day Bed in the VIDA App (limit of 1 reservation per member, per day). Reservations are available up to 7 days in advance. Members must arrive within 30 minutes of their reservation time on weekends & holidays or we reserve the right to offer your spot to someone on the Waiting List or with a General Admission reservation.
General Admission reservations are also available in the VIDA App. Members making a General Admission reservation will not receive access to a Lounge Chair, but may sit in the Bar & Firepit areas or place a towel on the pool deck. The Pool Manager may offer available Lounge Chairs, Cabanas, or Day Beds to General Admission reservations in the event of a no show or cancellation.
The Penthouse will charge a cancellation fee if the member cancels their reservation less than 4 hours prior to the start time or does not show up for their reservation. The Late Cancellation/No Show Fees are as follows:
All Penthouse members must use the guest passes on their account to have any guests accompany them to the Penthouse. If the member has an insufficient number of passes on their account, additional passes may be purchased at the Front Desk with their card on file. Guest passes must be purchased by the member. Non-members cannot purchase their own guest passes. Penthouse members must always accompany their guests to the pool club and remain with their guests. Guests will not be permitted into the Penthouse without the member present.
Penthouse members reserving a cabana or Day Bed must agree to the food and beverage minimums below. Guest passes ARE NOT included with ANY reservation and the cost of additional passes are not applied to the food and beverage minimum. Guests joining the member must use a guest pass from the members’ account.
Food & Beverage Minimums
Weekend minimums will be charged for the following Holidays: Memorial Day – May 31st, Independence Day – July 4th, Labor Day – September 6th, Pride Week, and other Special Events.
For the safety of our members and to facilitate service, the front curtain panels of all cabanas must remain open at all times, no exceptions.

Penthouse Level Check-in: All Penthouse members and their guests must also check-in at the Penthouse level check-in station located at the entrance, to gain access.
Any outside food or beverages (including alcohol) are strictly prohibited at Penthouse. No alcohol can leave the premises. We reserve the right to inspect all bags. Violation of this policy is grounds for immediate membership termination. Any member or their guests that bring outside alcohol into the pool club will be immediately removed from the facility. A second offense will result in membership termination.
Appropriate swimwear is required at all times. Management reserves the right to make decisions as to the appropriateness of any swim attire (or lack thereof). If you have to ask yourself if what you’re wearing is appropriate, it probably is not. Any member wearing attire deemed to be inappropriate by our staff shall be asked to immediately leave the pool area until proper attire is worn. Repeated admonitions about inappropriate attire will result in termination of your membership. All Penthouse members and their guests must wear a shirt, shoes, and shorts/pants/skirt while inside any indoor area of VIDA Fitness.
All members and guests are expected to govern themselves in a courteous and respectful manner. Members are to treat other members, guests, and staff with dignity and respect, always, and are not to abuse anyone, verbally or otherwise. This also includes sexually suggestive or explicit behavior, excessively loud and foul language, and any behavior which is disrespectful of anyone. Any suggestions or complaints regarding any aspect of the operation, individual employee performance, or action of fellow members should be directed to management. Any inappropriate, abusive, or disrespectful behavior to pool club members, guests, staff, or management will be grounds for removal, suspension and/or termination of membership privileges.
Pool furniture (i.e. lounge chairs, umbrellas, tables, etc.) must remain in its designated area. Members and guests are not allowed to move any of the furniture. Damage or destruction of equipment, furnishings or any property belonging to the Club, by members or guests, will be charged to and will be payable by the member responsible.

Personal speakers and outside music are strictly prohibited. You may bring your headphones to listen to music on your laptop or smart phone, but the music volume should not be audible to other members. Do not touch or otherwise tamper with the Penthouse speakers. Anyone who fails to comply with this rule will also be subject to termination.
No glass bottles or ice buckets are permitted within 2 feet of the pool. You may have your drink in a plastic cup while inside of the pool, but please exercise caution to avoid spilling your drink.
