Welcome to the Waverley Oaks Athletic Club information portal

A Note From The Management Team

We are incredibly thankful to have been able to keep the Club running and available to our members throughout this pandemic. We are grateful for the ongoing support from both members and staff as we all worked together to ensure the safety and health of our Waverley Oaks Community. Following the State of MA and City of Waltham regulations helped us be successful.

The Waltham Board of Health met the evening of 2/22/22 and have determined that at this time, face coverings will now be optional in all indoor public spaces within the City of Waltham.
• Effective immediately, Members will be allowed the choice of being “mask optional” when using the club. For those who choose to continue to wear a mask while exercising, this will be accepted and understood by all. You should do whatever feels comfortable as it relates to your health.
• Wiping down of equipment by members is still required. Keeping the equipment clean and sanitary within the Club is a top priority. Be a considerate member of our community and continue to wipe down your equipment after use. You would like to know the equipment is clean when you start using it so please ensure that is the case for everyone else.
• If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or have been around someone who is sick, you should stay home and away from others. Taking a day off to rest is just as important for your health as a workout when you are not feeling your best.

Thank you for being a part of our Waverley Oaks Community. It is our pleasure to serve you!

Adam Healy – General Manager

TO ENSURE A SMOOTH TRANSITION BETWEEN GROUPS, IT IS ESSENTIAL (AND REQUIRED) THAT YOU DO NOT ENTER THE POOL AREA UNTIL YOUR SCHEDULED POOL TIME. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THE OTHER MEMBERS AND ALLOW THEM TO VACATE THE POOL ENTIRELY BEFORE THE NEXT GROUP ENTERS.
  • THE ONLINE AND APP RESERVATION SYSTEMS WILL ALLOW FOR BOOKINGS THAT DAY PLUS 4 DAYS IN ADVANCE. RESERVATIONS MADE THROUGH THE ONLINE AND MOBILE APP SYSTEM WILL BEGIN AT 5AM TO CORRESPOND WITH THE CLUB OPENING AT 5AM. AS AN EXAMPLE, AT 5AM SATURDAY MORNING ALL AVAILABLE TIMES SATURDAY-WEDNESDAY WILL BE OPEN FOR RESERVATION ONLINE AND THROUGH THE APP, AS WELL AS OVER THE PHONE AND IN-PERSON.
  • MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO RESERVE POOL LANE TIME IN ADVANCE NO MORE THAN TWICE PER 4 DAY ADVANCED BOOKING PERIOD. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THE RESERVATIONS FOR MONDAY-THURSDAY OPEN ON SUNDAY, A MEMBER MAY RESERVE UP TO 2 RESERVATIONS IN THAT MONDAY -THURSDAY PERIOD. IT NO LONGER NEEDS TO BE EVERY OTHER DAY. A MEMBER MAY SWIM ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY PROVIDED THEY HAVE NO RESERVATIONS ON MONDAY OR THURSDAY.

  • THE LANE YOU REGISTER FOR WILL BE THE LANE YOU NEED TO SWIM IN. NOT ALL LANES WILL HAVE BOTH SPOTS BOOKED AT ALL TIMES. YOU SHOULD VERIFY WHAT LANE YOU ARE ASSIGNED WHEN YOU CHECK-IN AT THE DESK TO SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS AT THE POOL.
  • WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE MEMBERS FROM THE SAME HOUSEHOLD TO SHARE A POOL LANE. FAMILY MEMBERS SHOULD TRY TO BOOK BOTH THE “A” AND “B” SPOTS OF THE SAME LANE IF SWIMMING AT THE SAME TIME.
  • FOR MEMBERS WHO USE THE POOL FOR EXERCISE PURPOSES (RATHER THAN SWIMMING) WE ADVISE THAT YOU RESERVE LANE 1 IF AVAILABLE. THAT LANE PROVIDES ADDITIONAL ROOM FOR BOTH A SWIMMER AND AN EXERCISER TO HAVE PLENTY OF SPACE.

STEAM ROOM AND SAUNA GUIDELINES

We are happy that our membership packages here at Waverley Oaks include the use of amenities like the steam room and sauna. These facilities can have a range of benefits such as:
• Improving skin health
• Lowering blood pressure
• Improving circulation
• Workout recovery
• Relaxation
• Lowering joint stiffness

However, steam room and sauna facilities are not for everyone. Studies conducted by Web MD and Medical News Today have outlined a variety of situations where you need to consult with your physician prior to using these amenities:
• Low blood pressure
• Coronary artery disease
• History of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
• Heart rhythm problems
• Pregnancy
• Epilepsy
• While taking antibiotics

In addition, there are certain safety measures you should take while using the steam room.
• Set Time Limits: First-time users should spend a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes. As you get used to the heat, you can slowly increase the time to about 10-20 minutes. It is never advisable to spend more than 20 minutes in a steam room or sauna.
• Drink Plenty of Water: Due to the heat, there is a risk of dehydrating the body. Members should drink plenty of water prior to use and after use to replace the fluids lost from sweating.
• If you feel dizzy, have trouble breathing, or have tightness in your chest, exit right away.
• Avoid Rapid Temperature Change: Switching between the heat of a steam room or sauna to the cold water of a shower or pool is not advisable, as it can rapidly raise blood pressure.
• Do not drink alcohol.
• Do not use while you are sick.
• Adult use only (ages 16+)

These precautions are independent of age and fitness level. Even young healthy adults can have a traumatic incident after using the steam room or sauna if these rules are not followed.

Steam Room and Sauna Code of Conduct Reminders
There are a few rules of etiquette that will ensure the experience is enjoyed by everyone sharing these spaces.

  1. Towel for draping and sitting – You can wrap yourself in a towel and use it to sit on. Make sure the towel is always between you and the surfaces.
  2. Shower before you come in – Shower off after your workout prior to entering the sauna or steam room. Your fellow members will appreciate a clean environment.
  3. Close the door – Please do not hold the door open for the person behind you as it will take additional time to heat the room up to temperature again.
  4. Shaving/Grooming – Shaving is not acceptable in the steam room and sauna.
  5. Cell Phones Prohibited – There is no cell phone use anywhere within the locker rooms and this includes the steam room and sauna.
  6. Conversation – These rooms are meant to be calm, quiet, and relaxing. Any conversation should be kept to a minimum, and not forced upon any unwilling recipient.
  7. Clothes – If you feel more comfortable wearing clothing it needs to be clean prior to entry, not your workout attire. Dry bathing suits are an acceptable option. Street shoes are not permitted in the steam room and sauna.
  8. No pouring water on the rocks – Our saunas are electric dry saunas. Refrain from putting water or any other liquid on the rocks.
