Since my first review of SBS, I've participated in 2 Fit Leagues, the 90's themed "Saved by the…read moreBoat" cruise, and am currently in a Softball League. I've had a great time at SBS leagues and events, and highly recommend them! The Fit League is basically a boot camp while competing against other teams of people for who's fitness level improves the most. The sessions I attended for that were both at Boston Athletic Club and the trainers were great - motivating & pushing your work out, but not at the expense of anyone getting hurt. My teammates were really friendly, and you could often find us relaxing at the bar in the gym after a workout. (SBS is serious about the "social" part of it's name.) The Saved by the Boat cruise was a 3 hour "booze cruise" type event in Boston Harbor. I enjoyed the music, but was sad the DJ didn't play my requests for MMMBop by Hanson or the Marcarana. I'm not a big drinker, so I wish the bar lines weren't so long that they stretched onto the dance floor. The Softball League I'm in plays Tuesday nights at Teddy Ebersol's Fields (off of Storrow Drive) in Boston. It's my 1st time playing softball, so I worried the team would be too competitive for me. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Everyone is very friendly & welcoming. The "veterans" give helpful tips on batting, but don't get mad at anyone who strikes out. While on the bench, the team stays very engaged - cheering for our players batting or making a fielding play. The games are such fun nights out that I'm planning on joining another SBS league when this one is over. If you're looking for a fun way to get out and meet new people, come to an SBS event or join one of their leagues. You will be pleasantly surprised by how welcoming other participants & SBS staff will be.

Going out after each game with my teammates is great. I've also gotten to know players of other team. I'm looking forward to other events that S3 is offering and next season. I know once softball comes back around I will be signing up for that, too. I also want to mention that communication with Jess has been amazing. She is very responsive to questions and concerns. Even in the beginning she made sure we all knew what was going on before games started for the season.

Despite registering on time and paying the full amount (referral coupon s3friends did not work), I was not added to the mailing list and not assigned any team, and had no direction on where/how to proceed. I tried calling the numbers listed on the Facebook/Instagram pages for further information, but the calls never went through. I then reached out via email following the first week of play, but received no response. Finally, I reached out to the phone number (listed as s3 leagues corp.) on my payment receipt only to get an irritated response from the organizer asking me not to contact her on her personal cell phone. Repeated follow ups produced delayed and shallow email responses. After this entire ordeal, I was not added to the mailing list and was not notified of the cancellation during the rain out last week. I finally got fed up of such inconsideration and asked for a refund, to which I received no response. Last I checked, I have been blocked from the Instagram page for following up on the matter. This has been a terrible experience for me because at one point, I was eager to join this league and meet new people and make friends in the same manner that I did in the social meetup prior. The organizer of this group, Jessica, has proven to be incompetent, inconsiderate and disrespectful, and I would certainly not have even thought about joining this group had I known that she was the one behind the scenes.

The amount of regular season games is nearly 2x what other leagues offer. In addition to the points already made about the league, another nice thing is that the teams aren't required to bring their own bases to each game. The equipment, fees, and scorekeeping are all taken care of -- things I really appreciate as a captain.

Awesome running club!…read more It's not like other running clubs - I've been on the team several years and have made good friends there. For people interested in racing (roads, xc, and track) who want people to run and train with. Team culture is the best I've found - fun, social, and supportive of all ability levels (though no one is a 'beginning' runner). Coaches are real people who race themselves, not obsessive high-pressure college coach-types. If you're interested in a running club definitely email the coaches and try to come observe a practice.

The gym we played in is scheduled to be demolished at the end of this year. The school we ayes at…read moreis called the king school located at 815 Cambridge st. The gym floor is used recreationally throughout the day by elementary school children for their gym class. Each side of the court has completely different rims (one is double rimmed and one is not)....the floor is also completely warn and don't allow for quick stop and go play....this gym simply benefits the team that hits the most jump shots. It's equally as hard to drive as it is to defend against it; again, because of how slippery the floor is. Post game write ups and stats are inconsistent, inaccurate, and often times delayed for all leagues but the top one. Don't expect anything impressive/on time. Post season play is rushed to allow time for the upcoming spring/summer session. This resulted in almost non existent updates for existing leagues. In terms of timing of games...playoffs were planned on an adhoc, on the go basis to accommodate those who run the league. This league is not worth the money unless you are in the most competitive league. The guys who run this league clearly don't consider the fact that we all pay the same amount to be a part of the CACbasketball league and expect to be treated like it. My advice for anyone who chooses to play in this league -Go in with low expectations and understand going into it that you are overpaying for an under delivered service offering.

Many teams are anchored by former college players, but the wooden bats ensure a competitive balance between moderate to highly skilled players. The teams are all friendly and respectful. The umpires are fair and knowledgeable. And the location can't be beat! Contact the commish to see if there is room for your team or for you as an individual. Or sign up as a regular substitute - you won't regret the decision and may end up playing amongst friends for decades!

Its amenities also include a gym with weights and cardio gear, real tennis, racquets, an events hall, great locker room, and to top it off - a fantastic bar (pool table, backgammon, and darts included). This is a traditional club and the atmosphere is exactly that. The locker rooms are dimly lit, include a sitting room, and are furnished with antiques. The bar has plenty of wood panels and antique prints. But don't be fooled -- the members are not stuffy at all. This is a group of fun, easy-going, and welcoming people. Its the best place to work out in town. And perhaps the best place to get a drink.
