I've been a Longfellow member for 14 years now. Previously, I was a member at the Four Seasons in…read moreDallas, which as you can imagine, had 5 star amenities. I'm an avid tennis player, so when we moved, I was looking for a place to play for fun, but also a place who had men's teams and group drills classes. I briefly ran into Longfellow while looking at houses in Sudbury, saw their facilities were numerous and briefly met with the staff to talk about their programs. Sudbury has a lot to offer, but I won't discount the role that Longfellow played in our decision to settle in Sudbury. While Longfellow's facilities weren't quite as new and flashy as the posh Four Seasons, their staff was much more family-like and took me in. It's now my home away from home, and I'm there probably 4 days a week. Their adult tennis programs and leagues are very good. I've done many adult drills classes over the years and play on many men's and mixed doubles USTA and CMITA teams. In addition, I've taken advantage of group exercise classes, personal training, physical therapy, and swimming and tennis lessons for my kids. I also weight train several times a week. Longfellow is very family oriented, and not pretentious. It's also not intimidating to go there and work out...unlike many other gyms where you're surrounded by 20 something models on every treadmill, or guys grunting away and slamming down weights (although during Winter Break you get a little of that with the kids home from college). Yes, the facilities are older and it's a large place with many working parts. However, there's plenty of weights and machines to do what you need to do, and if you can't figure out how to use them, there's always friendly staff available. For the types of facilities and amenities people are complaining about Longfellow lacking, that's what you get if you're paying $500/month (which is what I paid 14 years ago at the Four Seasons). Longfellow is nowhere near that. Complaints about guest fees for swimming lessons? The lesson fee you pay goes to the instructor, but the guest fee goes to the club for maintaining the facilities your child is using. So are members supposed to foot the bill so your kid can take lessons? Think of it this way, as a members get a $10 discount per lesson...does that sound better? That's a very common practice at other gyms. As for court time? Well, yeah, it's tough to find something during the day, if you haven't been booked far in advance. But what is the club supposed to do? Keep one empty court available every day, all day, just in case someone calls? That's a poor business model. Yes, there are a lot of kids' practices and lessons from 2-7pm. However, the morning and early afternoon have many adult classes and adult leagues, so there are opportunities to play. And for the people complaining about the quality of the facilities, Bosse was the big, flashy, overpriced gym around and looked beautiful, but lacked any spirit. I visited several times with friends, and it seemed more like a place people liked to show off at rather than actually work out or play tennis. Let's not forget that its owner just up and closed with a lot of families' money. Longfellow has owners and staff that care, which is why so many staff are still the same for the past decade. Are you looking for a place to workout and play sports, or are you looking for a place to just lounge around? Because there are plenty of coffee shops around. So if you're looking for a place to workout with a family atmosphere, with plenty of adult and kid programs of many types, tennis, swimming, and a place to actually make friends at, then Longfellow is for you. Oh, and I hate Yelp reviews. Longfellow has had thousands of happy members/families over the years. However, people who are satisfied aren't usually going to type a review...they're too busy enjoying working out and life in general. It's the grumpy few who do, and usually ones who are bored and have an agenda. I only typed this because I'm bored at work and feel that the Yelp's review isn't an accurate representation of Longfellow. If you check Longfellow's Facebook review, you'll see a far more accurate representation. Yelp, in general just sucks for businesses because they do nothing to help businesses, unless you pay to subscribe to them. If you do, they allow you to delete negative reviews and whatnot.

Mel (the head trainer) has a unique ability to make every class challenging for experienced CrossFitters while still being completely accessible and manageable for TOTAL beginners. It is an unbelievably welcoming environment and has been such a breath of fresh air to find owners who truly care about the wellbeing and happiness of their members. There is a big focus on safety at Daybreak and beginners are always encouraged to work on the basics first. Before every workout begins, the coaches walk through each movement and its scaling options in detail. Then, they talk with athletes individually to find the scaling option that matches his/her personal fitness level. They are so attentive that I really think athletes are more likely to get injured walking to their car than they are inside the walls of Daybreak. As an experienced CrossFitter, I originally thought that the daily movement explanations would become repetitive and boring. However my favorite part about Daybreak is that every class is COMPLETELY different. There may be a new cue or a different order to the movement breakdown and every time I'm left with something new to think about and improve upon. I've been to many other boxes where they do a variation of the same warm-up every day or the same sequence of drills before doing a movement, but neither is the case at Daybreak. There is always a different warm-up, movement explanation, and cool-down, all of which are designed specifically to help athletes prepare for and recover from that day's workout. In the two years I have been doing CrossFit, I had never recommended that my parents give it a shot before I started at Daybreak. But once I found the welcoming environment and coaches who care about their athletes and supervise their safety, I knew this was the place for them to give it a try. Now, both in their 60s, they're two of the most dedicated members at Daybreak! If you're interested in improving your fitness, losing weight, adding muscle, or just in meeting great people - come check out Daybreak! Even if you're currently working out at a different CrossFit, give Daybreak a try. I switched from another local box and the difference is like night and day. I could not recommend them more!

She has a great upbeat personality and her training methods are so effective that I followed her from the gym she was working at in Acton, to her current studio in Weston. I also respect her as a professional, because she will research and try out new training techniques and then pass on those techniques to her clients. I have known her for going on 3 years, so I know that she is 100% ethical and gives her clients a great value. Her training is an investment in your health and will improve your attitude towards life.

There are plenty of cardio options, classes, a spin studio, free weights, and a large selection of Hoist weight machines. It's actually the only fitness center I've been to in the area that has Hoist equipment. I'm still getting used to the machines, but so far, I like them. There's also a decent-sized stretching area and about 10 TV screens throughout the gym. I believe you can tune into the TV audio, although I haven't ventured down that path yet--I'm usually watching something on my phone or listening to music. The front desk staff is always friendly, and check-in is quick and easy. There are water fountains as well as bottled water available for purchase. The locker room is clean. While it's on the smaller side, they do have either a steam room or sauna--I'm honestly not sure which! There are a couple of showers and all the standard locker room amenities. One thing I like is that every locker has its own key attached to a stretchy wrist cord, so there's no need to bring a lock. In fact, you can't use your own. Crowds have been minimal during the summer, which has been great. I'm curious to see how busy it gets once summer ends and school is back in session. So far, Beacon Hill Athletic Club gets a 10/10 from me. Great atmosphere, solid equipment, friendly staff, and an easygoing feel. Highly recommend!

I've been a member of Beacon Hill Athletic Club (Wellesley) for three years, and the only reason I…read morecontinue to go is because it's convenient and there aren't many easy alternatives nearby. The biggest issue is that the equipment is badly outdated. Walking into the gym feels like stepping into the 1980s. The machines are old, the overall facility feels tired, and it is long overdue for a serious investment and refresh. The locker rooms are in a similar state, very dated and in clear need of renovation. To be fair, the club is clean. Extremely clean. In fact, the staff often seem more concerned with cleaning equipment than allowing members to use it. The constant wiping down and fussing over machines can feel excessive and, at times, genuinely strange. The atmosphere is also disappointing. Peter appears to have a group of favorite members and regularly has loud, bro-style conversations with them across the gym. These conversations often include inappropriate language that feels unprofessional in a fitness club setting. Another staff member, a younger guy, is consistently rude and seems to think the gym's sound system exists solely for his benefit. When he's working, members are subjected to some truly awful reggae playlists. Peter's music choices aren't much better, with a steady diet of jazz and 70s music that feels completely disconnected from what most people would expect in a modern gym. The overall impression is that the gym is run around the preferences of the staff rather than the members. Whether it's the music, the conversations, or the way the floor is managed, there seems to be very little thought given to creating an environment that is motivating and enjoyable for the people actually paying to work out there. The one saving grace is the woman who works at the front desk. She is consistently friendly, welcoming, professional, and genuinely customer-focused. She treats members with respect and clearly understands what good customer service looks like. Ironically, she also seems to have the best taste in music. Unfortunately, it's uncomfortable to watch how some of the other staff, particularly Peter, treat her. She deserves far better than the dismissive attitude she often appears to receive. For a club that charges premium membership fees, the facilities, atmosphere, and management approach simply don't measure up.

Probably the smallest and worst of the Anytime Fitness locations in the area (Nagog Park in Acton,…read moreClinton and Acton in the Stop & Shop plaza are all better locations). The machines are noticeably older. This includes the free weights and nautilus machines. The free weight area is VERY tight. There might be enough room for 2 people working out by the dumbbells but even then it will feel tight. Just one squat rack / bench press station while Acton and Clinton both have at least 3 stations. Dumbbells only go up to 75 lb (Acton and Clinton go up to 100 lb). Maynard only has one adjustable cable pulley machine but at least it's capable of cable flies since there's 2 sides. Problem is, they don't have a cable pulley lateral pulldown machine. The stretching area is also very small. You can drive a couple miles more into Acton to workout at a better gym.
