I had my toddlers birthday party here. I loved how it was affordable and we didn't have to worry…read moreabout the number of kids attending since let allow up to 25 kids (most places it is 15). Originally I thought the pizza/cake area was going to be in the babysitting room, but we were given a raquet ball court room next to the splash park. It actually worked out better since it was a larger room. I wish the party could have lasted more than 2 hours! On the way home my toddler said she wanted to go back to her birthday party. Thank you for providing a fun and affordable birthday experience!

A couple of months into my workout - one day, during my workout, the general manager approached me…read moreand offered to cancel my gym membership because I dropped my weights during my deadlifting. Before I signed up, I specifically asked three questions: 1) Whether I can do deadlifts; 2) Whether I can drop weights; and 3) Whether I can use chalk. The staff (a young boy) at the front desk answered affirmatively to all three questions, so I joined the gym. Many Planet Fitness type of commercial gyms have noise rules - that was why I asked. Given the explicit initial verbal consent when I signed up, I was furious and felt not welcomed. I argued with the manager and then left immediately without finishing my workout. I came back a second time to get my refund (and btw they refused to refund my annual fee). Now the young boy who signed me up claimed I only asked whether I could do deadlifts. And he claimed that he had warned me multiple times. These were flat out lies. About two week ago (and a couple of months into my training), he asked me to put mats underneath and I complied. That was the only time that we had a discussion about the noise. I pressed for details about those supposed "warnings" and the boy refused to clarify. I've trained at the gym for four months at different hours. Most of the time I saw only teens at the front desk. The general manager claimed he never saw me before that day's incident - thus I realized that the gym never had proper professional management. If the gym decides to hire underaged staff to help, that's perfectly okay. The problem is - if the teens - who lack the professionalism of adult trained staff - decide to handle matters in a teen's way - customers will have limited resort. The manager pointed out that the gym has rules forbidding weight dropping (and I am not disputing their general rules), but the gym also has rules that people must wear their masks at all times, as well as you must put weights back on the rack. But the rules are never enforced. People wander around, or grunt heavily, a lot of them without masks especially the teens. I have been training for a couple of months and I was under the impression that it was a gym managed in - let's say - a quite libertine way. I told him that this club is among the most dysfunctional in terms of weights arrangements (and I have toured more than a dozen gyms in different areas) - every single time I went there there were always some weights on the bars/machines (sometimes only on one side) and I had to put those weights back by myself. Different categories of weights are often stacked together. Also, having three 45lbs plates only on one end of the barbell hanging on a rack without people attending is actually dangerous. When I pointed out these apparent irregularities, the general manager - rather than acknowledging that things could improve - exploded at me. He shouted that it was not feasible to have staff sleeping on the floor all day to observe gym etiquette and enforcing the rules - and he would not stand me "insulting" his gym. So this is an interesting development. But after reading other comments on Yelp now I perfectly understand that I am not the only customer who got shouted at by the general manager. To sum up - the gym is not professionally managed compared to industry peers. The training environment is passable but not among the top tier. There are a lot of teens who train here and teens have different manners. For the mask conscious people - I've been to gyms that stringently enforce mask rules but this is not one of them. People frequently don't disinfect the equipment despite the explicit rules mandating disinfection. The locker rooms are not dirty but they are a bit beaten down (I have only seen the male lockers). Its pricing point ($45) should warrant a better environment but it is not the case. And the last word I heard from them is - you are no longer a customer, bye-bye. Well indeed. That's just the perfect way to treat your customers, even former ones. Congratulations.

Like other reviewers have said, this gym is clean and typically not crowded. The owner is a caring…read moreguy who really tries to engage with members and make them feel welcome. I signed up for a one year membership, knowing that I would possibly be moving in the next few months. Alex, the owner, reassured me that as long as I showed proof that I was moving, I could cancel without any penalties. I eventually did move away, and when I tried to cancel was directed by a manager to contact ABC financial who handles the contracts for all anytime fitness'. This was a pretty bad experience, as they require you to give 45 day notice and charge a $50 cancellation fee. Initially, I was upset because I thought the cancellation was going to be hassle free and immediate. Alex found out about what happened, and immediately worked to rectify this issue and got me a full refund of the cancellation fee and 2 months membership. Alex is a fair and honest person, and I would recommend this gym to any who are looking.

Pros : It's 24 hours and has single person bathrooms. Also very friendly staff. That's it…read more Cons : This is a very very small gym with an incredibly mediocre setup. They charge a monthly maintenance fee which is completely fine, however equipment is consistently breaking down and takes forever to be fixed. In one of the pictures the pullup bar is missing a grip on one side and it has been this way for AT LEAST 6 months. When I asked a team member about it they gave some bs excuse about it and said it would be fixed soon. 3 months later still nothing. Also noticing what appears to be black mold on the ceilings(I'm not an expert.) I stay here because it is extremely close to my job and is basically the only gym available when I'm off that I know of. If any other options become available that can even come close to the convenience that this gym offers I will immediately cancel my 2 year contract and happily pay whatever cancellation fee comes with it. Also goodluck going during the afternoon.Thanks for reading

My review is for the swimming lessons since that's the only service we've used here…read more We've been bringing our boys here for swimming lessons for over a year now. When we first came they had never really been in the water and by the 3 Rd lesson they were totally comfortable. They separate the kids by age group with a maximum of 4 per instructor. At this age they rarely take more than one child into the water at once, instead one child is brought out into the water while the others sit on the stairs. The lifeguard sits immediately behind the stairs and is dedicated to watching them for the entire 30 minutes. The lessons take place in an outdoor pool that's covered with canvas until the weather warms up. I've been here in February and the pool area is never cold, and often gets very humid actually. The staff is fabulous. The front desk staff are always friendly and courteous when we come and go. Mostly we deal with the pool staff. I've brought my kids in when they are overtired due to missing a nap, when they are cranky, when they are fidgity, when they have a crazy burst of energy and want to splash each other and everyone around them... And in every case the swimming instructors handled it really well. Even when I have been frustrated with the behavior my kids, the instructors have never shown frustration or unhappiness with them. In fact they've been patient and calmed the kids down in those situations. In addition to that, the staff make the lessons FUN. My kids can't wait to go to swimming lessons and smile and laugh the entire time. The lessons themselves give the kids a basic foundation for swimming- first scooping water with hands, learning to kick, floating on their backs, etc. If you have younger children who need to learn to swim this is a great place for them to learn.

I have been a member for over 20 years. The water aerobic classes are amazing . Each instructor…read morehas their own style but all of them are great .I usually go to 4 classes each week . Love Vanderbilt Club !! Loretta Carrigan

I believe in the near future my group is planning to make a switch with a fam account. So walking in you have a nice concierges who check in your member and or guest. Everyone was really nice and accommodating. My brother has a membership and brought me to the second floor. They had all the equipment you'd probably need we did leg day. Lotta cables, smiths, assisted. Saw the basketball court (didn't see the pool) went to third floor checked out the spin cycle room and yoga studio. Went to the turf area for push sled and squat racks. Def has everything for the most part. Would come back again. Very spacious. Some of the machines seem to have quite a bit of years on them but as long as they work, it's all good. The locker rooms were huge, hot tub sauna and steam shower at this location, no cold baths that i saw. I think with the different tier solo and fam plans plus access to pool, hoops and unlimited classes, it makes sense it's cost, just wish it was lower like in some other markets (states) haha. Will be back! Thanks for the workout!

I like the hot tub, sauna, steam room and the gym is OK, but it is pretty run down and poorly…read moremanaged. Equipment is frequently broken, towels are often out (what prompted me to write today), drinking fountains broken (today), etc. It seems like a lot to pat for what you get.

I strongly recommend finding a different gym to learn the Olympic lifts. While these guys do…read moreattract some attention from networking, running seminars and knowing technique, they are more concerned with making money and traveling than coaching their athletes. They also conduct business in a shady manner - offering no dispute resolution whatsoever - cash in, cash out. For example: Last month, Norwood Weightlifting accepted pre-payments from several members (myself included) for a full eight-week training cycle and then promptly vanished a month later to travel around the country and post videos on YouTube. I was never given a refund. Bottom line: the fact that the coaches don't care enough to even show up to meets when a handful of their athletes are competing speaks volumes about this place.

I find the other comment bashing this gym as a poor place to learn the olympic lifts maybe…read moremisguided. I trained here on a dedicated schedule for several months and dropped in many times over the years. This is a weightlifting training center, mainly to learn the olympic lifts (snatch and clean and jerk). This is not really a "gym" to go workout haphazardly, or do bodybuilding or some other style of exercise. Olympic weightlifting is a pressing focused sport that highly utilizes speed strength, acceleration and power. The main movements trained are the snatch and the clean and jerk. There is also a great deal of barbell training including squats, deadlifts and pressing movements along with general physical preparedness training. If you are serious about learning the discipline of Olympic Weightlifting, Norwood maybe a place for you to learn. They host a variety of Eleiko bars and bumpers. The rich history of Olympic lifting harbored within the walls of Norwood Training Center is tough to beat throughout the nearby gyms. There are several good gyms that offer great coaching in the Olympic lifts in New England and this is undoubtedly one of them. Most people who come here for training probably do not venture to the gym based on yelp reviews. It is more likely that they have seen the team lifting at local weightlifting meets, or heard of the gym through many of the successful national and international weightlifters who have trained at this facility (simply youtube video search the hookgrip media group to find a video featuring a few National Level athletes including Norwood's very own coach and New England Snatch record holder, Yasha Kahn, also training in the video are Olympic and World Champions Ilya Ilyin and Vasily Polovnikov who coached here for a time). The gym's owner Don Venterosa may be one of the original members of USAW, I think his member number might be in the low hundreds (they now have millions of registered members) and is deeply entrenched in weightlifting knowledge and experience. He really wants the athletes who train here to succeed. You may also find the legendary Denis Reno coaching or training at the facility, best known for his famous decades long and highly respected weightlifting newsletter. Dave Lussier, one of the strongest youth weightlifters with a multitude of records also brings his team of lifters here from time to time. I almost gave them a four star review because the parking situation can sometimes be a bit jumbled. Also, it gets busy some nights and you may need to share a platform with 3-4 other lifters and it can get a bit tricky. It is what might be considered an "old-school" weightlifting gym, as it is located in a garage bay next to an auto body shop. As inferred by one of the other reviews, you may not always have a coach present some days but always have access to one for any questions or concerns and remote coaching. The majority of athletes who I have trained with here are looking to be competitive on the local, regional or national level and take weightlifting very seriously. It maybe an intimidating place to learn, but if you can get past the difficulty surrounding the initial learning curve inherently experienced in weightlifting and have the discipline required to work at the techniques and principles consistently, Norwood is a great gym. This review is only to clarify the previous one star review and offer a contrasting perspective. You will certainly need a good deal of independence, confidence and socializing /people skills and a healthy dose of common sense since the weights being lifted here are usually in the higher calibers. If you feel like you need a more beginner/intro class to weightlifting I would suggest inquiring with Norwood Training center about setting up private sessions with a coach (they do offer that based on availability) until you feel ready enough to join the group training sessions or to continue with their remote coaching program. Don't be surprised if the first several weeks to months involve training with just the barbell or light weights, they take technique incredibly serious, and look to have you understanding the movements and performing them safely for quite some time before adding wrights and developing strength. It takes years to get good at Olympic weightlifting, no surprise many of the athletes here have been training for years at this facility and have found success in their efforts. Hope that helps.
