Wayside Athletic Club - Marlborough, Massachusetts

I've been a member for many years.

Very affordable, competent and helpful staff. Good atmosphere, members get along.

Large pretty well equipped fitness room. Easy to schedule a swim lane with their app, no need to share a lane. I don't play tennis or racquetball but seems like good communities for each.

I do wish they had a basketball court but everything else IMO is great, and the price is right

Highly reccomend

The man at the front desk wearing a bucket hat was extremely rude. When I asked him for directions, he responded with a harsh tone, essentially telling me to figure it out on my own. His dismissive attitude showed lack of care for his job. The encounter significantly marred my experience, making what should have been a simple interaction unpleasant.

We joined early this year, mainly for the pool access, but we have enjoyed learning Raquetball from Ted, the gym is never busy, and the steam and sauna rooms in the bathrooms are very relaxing post workout.
The one thing we found unappealing after joining was that indoor pool access for members is only during the daytime Mon-Fri (because school teams use the indoor pool on weekday evenings) and open hours on the weekend.
And now, with the new ownership, we are so excited with all the changes, like the addition of badminton and pickelball courts and the extension of open hours! The promise of updating the old, rusty gym equipment is definitely something to look forward to! We are so excited about how awesome this club is going to become over the next few months!

Edit: I just found out that only the badminton, pickleball, and raquetball courts are open till midnight. The gym and sauna still close at 9:30pm M-F, which is highly disappointing. With membership at $160/month for the two of us, I was really expecting a lot more access.

The best yoga class and teacher, Leslii S., ever. She is a wonderful teacher, that works the whole body feet to head. Between swimming, water exercise classes, and swimming laps at the Club my physical health has improved immensely. However, it was not until I started the classes with Leslii that I started to feel great.

I love the small group training class. I wish it was offered more than just once/week. I love the way I feel after the class. It's challenging, but in a way that is not overwhelming. I love the variety of each class and how it never gets boring. Jeanine is great - she doesn't let you slack (like she's caught me doing a couple of times) and the members in the class are so much fun!

Excellent gym. The staff is extremely attentive, the hygiene of the club is exemplary, every day I see people disinfecting all the environments. The gym is spacious, with several devices that cater to different formats of physical training.

Wayside Athletic Club is my favorite fitness establishment in the area. During this pandemic they have practiced thorough safety and sanitation procedures while doing all they can to accommodate their members’ needs to move their bodies and safely interact with others. I cannot recommend them enough to people of all ages! The management is wonderful, specifically Brian, who is a very responsive and receptive staff member. If you were on the fence about joining, especially during a pandemic, this is your sign to get on it.

I was a member of this club for years. My family were members. It"s like a family at the club. I loved it so much that I trained to be a group exercise and water fitness instructor. I love the participants in my classes ... we have a good time while working hard. Exercise should be fun. I encourage all reading this to come down and check out the facility and see what we're offering. It's the best exercise facility around.
