A dangerous cult, housing discrimination, exploitative practices, troubling child neglect,…read morefraudulent charities, unsafe housing. I lived there for several years and below are my observations and experiences. - I've seen over a dozen suitable tenants ask to live on property and be given the run-around over the past 3 years and did not even get to the application process. This amounts to housing discrimination. Some people are required to do a "Panj," which is an extensive, hours-long interview process; it entails 5 of the most senior in-crowd asking invasive and inappropriate questions about one's sex life and medical status, among other things. Yes, they discriminate against both medical and lifestyle in housing applicants. More popular people, or those in the "in crowd" (wealthy) are not required to undergo this scrutiny. - Housing conditions didn't meet state minimum standards and they would not make repairs unless I threatened to sue. Leaks, mold, violations of ADA, Massachusetts health, and fire safety codes. Violations too numerous to list. - They don't have an innkeeper's license, which is required by state law to accept guests in shared housing. They can't get that license without meeting fire safety codes, which include automatic sprinklers and installing fire doors. They refused to get the license/meet the codes and are not legal to accept guests- They insisted on accepting paying guests anyway. Also they didn't conform to health codes about sanitizing shared bathrooms and while I was in guest housing, and I landed in the hospital for a CONTAGIOUS SKIN INFECTION. - Rampant child neglect. One unattended 7 year old routinely (more than 10x) harassed me outside of my apartment door while I was working from home. The parent is in a position of power there and refused to address it. After complaining, I was effectively bullied and blackballed. I do not recommend bring children here for activities. I witnessed unsupervised resident children bully and abuse other/guest children. Who insists on a 7 year old going around unsupervised? Grossly negligent and unsafe. - While I was working for one of their charities, I observed fraud, misappropriation, missing donations, and soliciting donations under false pretenses (making it sound like donations were going to one charity and funneling them to another). When I brought it up, they would not address these issues unless I threatened to make it legal. Who has time for that? They survive on "seva" or folks donating their time and labor while Yogi Bhajan made over a BILLION dollars from fleecing his students and exploiting their labor in just this way. His abusive ways live on in this organization. Nothing has changed despite their rebranding and claims at reform. I do not recommend donating or volunteering for this organization. - Beware of the men! I was sexually harassed, pursued, cornered, followed, or otherwise abused by every male resident except one on the property. This is tacitly condoned by the administration: I complained when an employee of the ashram cornered me in my apartment. In short, they did nothing. The employee still works there and has done worse to others. Not a safe space for women in my experience. - They need to keep a percentage of apartments turning over to meet their bills, which won't be met if folks stay because of "rent control," so less established residents may be/are driven out. Part of this is about rigging the elections for their board, (after a # of years, residents are allowed to vote). This results in less popular (poorer) residents being bullied and hazed out of their housing, among other things. - Gatekeeping, discrimination, hazing, and unevenly applied rules make it impossible to cut through red tape and are the definition of cult abuse. - They persecute the poorer members of community who cannot or will not sue or move out. - All major (and most minor) decisions are made by a cabal of off-site elites who almost never step foot on the property. - There is MUCH more in the way of cult abuse. - Watch HBO's documentary series called Breath of Fire discussing the cult abuse perpetrated by Guru Jagat and the rampant sexual and financial abuses by Kundalini Yoga's founder, yogi bhajan. Yoga at the Ashram still runs on this abusive patterning.

After some googling, I found Medfield Yoga, so I signed up for the new student package and booked a Monday night class. The studio space is very relaxing and nicely decorated, and very clean!

The teachers were very helpful and supportive, as they explained each position and also demonstrated how it should look. I look forward to taking more classes. :)

I am an out of shape older guy who isn't very limber and has some other physical limitations but all the instructors have been great at helping me find movement and poses that I can do. The facility is quite nice with showers available. There is a wide variety of different classes and times that have provided a great amount of choice for my practice. I have improved so much that I am now comfortable in any of the classes. The best part is how the leaders challenge even the people with well developed practices and help us learners as well. Best wishes to Jordan and Angela as they continue to grow the yoga community here. Make sure you try the yoga nidra practice some night. Conscious unconsciousness. So awesome! I will encourage anyone to please come try his great studio.

First of all, you pull up and it's inside of a gun store, next to a trump store.. truly wanted to turn right around then but I had paid $28 for the class (more than what I pay at other places!) so I went in. That's when I realize they double book the classes, meaning there were 12 of us in the class and only 6 poles!!! Never have I ever had to share a pole before. The instructor didn't introduce herself to me, and started a half hour late while they posed for pictures. Then I had to sit on my ass for half the rest of the class because I was sharing a pole.. all for that high class price. The poles weren't even installed well, what a disaster. Some of the women in class were very nice to me, but this was a huge waste of my hard earned money and I will never go back!

So there hasn't been a recent posting for this gym, so I felt the need to comment. I started a job…read morein Mass and needed to find an AF nearby, and it came down to this one, and the one in Grafton. BUT because of the negative Yelp postings for Medway, i avoided it. I can tell you that THAT WAS A BAD DECISION!! (Don' get me wrong - Grafton AF isn't bad) Now, i don't know what happened back in 2012/13, but those postings are NOT for today's Medway AF! It's possibly one of the cleanest gyms that i've been to, with a great variety of equipment to use... ranging from cardio (treadmills, ellipticals, stairmasters & a jacob's ladder, if i'm not mistaken), to machines, to a wide variety of free weight options! Now, it's not a HUGE gym, but for it's size (and it's not tiny), it offers a lot of options for you. And to my surprise, it has an "outdoor gym" - but i've been hitting this gym at 5am, that is only open when there's staff so... makes sense. I'm driving in from CT for my job, so if\when I move to Mass, Medway AF will be my new "home gym"!

It's something that she takes pride in if a person doesn't want to get a good workout that I would recommend anytime fitness my wife and I are at a gym now and we don't like it it's bigger, but it's very dirty and the only reason we are staying here. It's closer to our home yet if we lived closer to Medway we would join The Gym in a heartbeat, because Sony is the best manager I've ever seen and all the years that I've been working out she has the best manager I have ever known and I have been working out for over 40 years. She tops with my wife and I.
