I really like the club. I use it daily for my workout programs and it's really nice place to go to. On the whole. It's very clean and very tidy. The one thing I would agree on is that there needs to be stronger control on how the Sauna and the Steam room are being used. A lot of the times it's very smelly and sometimes I can't even go into the sauna because of the smell. And it's not because they're not keeping it clean. It's because the members are going in there after their workouts and stinking up the place. They go in there with their clothes on before they work out so that they can look like they've been working out and then after they work out they come back in and stink up the place. Not even bothered to take their clothes off and shower. First. There was a rule of no cell phones and now that's been done away with. There needs to be more rules and they need to be enforced and followed. Part of its members themselves and how they treat the place and part of it is the management. They're not enforcing the rules that they set down.But I like going there. It does what I needed to do and I'm very happy with going to the club. I have a trainer and he's very good and so I'm achieving all my fitness goals.
Shhh....This place is so good it should be a secret.Best "gym' that I have been involved with in my 30+ years of training. 💪I would Highly recommend the Waverly Oaks for young & old , Familia and singles.But Shhhh....☝️😎💯
I joined the club a few months ago and have to say it’s one of the best clubs I belong to! Pre-pandemic. I was a Boston sports club member, but they did end up closing. Once I started looking around at clubs in the area and came upon Waverly Oaks, it was totally clear this was the best choice. This was the best club around and had everything I was looking for. Their classes are amazing and there are plenty of them, either spinning, yoga, Pilates, body conditioning… Things are geared for all different levels, which is what I was looking for. The locker room is very clean, and one of my wants was a sauna or steam, and this club offers both! One of the best things I enjoy as well is that I’ve made some new friends and feel very welcomed overall. Can’t go wrong with Waverley oaks. Can’t recommended it enough!
I've been a member for 1.5 years and recently had personal life challenges and newly discovered food allergies that made nutrition choices significantly more challenging to manage.I started working with Jessica Roy who has been very creative and thorough in helping me find/research foods I could eat as well as helping me better understand the building blocks of healthy eating. She's also been a great therapist and listens to the combination of physical activity and emotional ups and downs with great empathy. I feel more in control of my life based on her guidance and recommend working with her.
Nutritionist Jessica Roy was an absolute pleasure to work with. Jessica was my nutritionist for almost 2 years. I have nothing but great things to say about Jessica. She is warm, personable, kind and knowledgeable. She is so approachable and understanding of everything involving nutrition and healthy eating. She aided me in my weight loss journey and I could not thank her enough. Jessica Roy is simple the best!!!
