    The New England Revolution are one of Major League Soccer's 10 original teams that began play in…read more1996. Since that time, the club really hasn't gotten over the hump of winning its first MLS Cup and establishing itself as one of the league's more successful teams. They have, however advanced to the championship game five teams, which isn't bad. The club's most successful stretch came from 2002 to 2007. Five-time MLS All-Star Taylor Twellman led the team to four Eastern Conference Championships. After being drafted second overall in 2002 by New England, Twellman went on to play for the team through the 2009 season. Over that span, he was the top scorer in MLS and became the team's all-time leader in goals with 101. Twellman was league MVP in 2005 and is now a commentator for ESPN. During that same era, New England won both the US Open Cup (2007) and the now-defunct North American SuperLiga title (2008). The US Open Cup has some history, dating back to 1914. SuperLiga, however, was short-lived with only four tournaments held between 2007 and 2010. The more well-known and prestigious CONCACAF Champions League pretty much did SuperLiga in. 2014 was the Revolution's best season in recent memory. The team again advanced to the MLS Cup championship game, but lost to the LA Galaxy, 2-1. The Galaxy won their fifth title. New England's top scorer that season was midfielder Lee Nguyen with 22 goals. From 2012 to 2018, Nguyen was one of the team's best players. In 2014, he finished third for the MLS MVP award behind LA Galaxy striker Robbie Keane and Seattle forward Obafemi Martins (in that order). Legendary soccer coach and Cornell alum Bruce Arena became the team's head coach on May 14, 2019. Only time will tell if he can finally get the monkey off the Revolution's back.

    Foxboro Branch YMCA - Matrix dreadmill with undersized screen but nice fan on top!

    Came here for a quick workout and sauna because it's the closest Y to the Wrentham Outlet Mall,…read morewhere I dropped off my friend for her shopping expedition. What amazed me: 1. The staff member working in the fitness area (moderately sized but very nice quality equipment and lots of natural light) was actually DOING SOMETHING, i.e. walking around and putting stuff back in their proper places! Never seen that at any other Y I've been to, where staff just stand around, fiddle with their phones, and generally just use up oxygen---unless they are personal trainers working with a paying client. Not only that, the guy actually noticed that I was new and came up to me, introduced himself and offered help if I ever needed any! Absolutely flabberghasting staff behavior for a YMCA, lol! If only every Y were like this. 2. The fairly new, spacious, and coed sauna next to the pool area (there are no longer single sex saunas in the locker rooms, I was told) was actually heated to a decent temperature (190F according to the thermometer hanging on the wall at chest level) AND had two levels of seating so you could actually get a decent sweat on, as opposed to some Ys that for some boneheaded reason have only a single low bench which is completely useless because duh, heat RISES so why in the hell would you want to be sitting so low when it's already maxed out at some wimpy 150F? (Cough cough, Melrose and Framingham YMCAs.) The disadvantage of a poolside sauna though is that it's a pain to go back and forth back to the locker room shower for a cold rinse every 10-15 minutes, as opposed to a locker room sauna---but this is not a fatal flaw. 3. The treadmills were by a brand called Matrix I had never seen before and I got on one hoping that it wouldn't totally suck like the Precor treadmills---happily, it did not, though I was disappointed at how tiny the screens were after being spoiled by the huge 24" screens of the Life Fitness treadmills at my home Y in Cambridge. BUT it had one beautiful feature the big fancy LF treadmills lacked: a built in cooling fan at the top of the console, which was absolutely delightful! Wish this feature were standard on EVERY piece of gym cardio equipment, lol. Only a few minior gripes about this place: - Almost all the stationary bikes were the geriatric recumbent kind. No Keiser bikes, which are the only ones with decent ergonomics and that actually feel like you're pedaling a real bike. - Kettlebells are few and max out at 22kg, which is barely enough for one handed swings and presses, but much too light for loaded carries or two handed swings. - Oh and it'd be nice if they had some hanging boxing bags, or at least one. This is one of the things that sets the Cambridge Y apart: an abundance of free-hanging real boxing bags, not the useless water-base standing bags. This gym appears to have neither. Overall though, this is a very good Y and I will be sure to return next time I'm in the area!

I look forward to going for my workouts and classes. I am a senior and I always feel very safe and comfortable there. If you are interested they offer a tour before you join. Get out and start moving at the Y!
