Waverley Oaks Athletic Club

Lost $600 worth of items from locked locker. Claims to have not cut the lock. Either Waverley Oaks has the items, or there is major thieft going on in the locker room. Very sad.

Not enough equipment, if there’s more than 3people training the same muscle at any given time

Be careful this gym does not value long time customers. Updating my review from 5 stars to 1 star after I was billed 80 dollars even though I came in before billing date to cancel. I have been with this gym for years and everyone outside of the managers and physical workers are so miserable they just want to give attitude instead of helping.

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.

Updating my review from a year ago. 4 stars to I'd like to give 2.5 but I'll settle for 3. I'm glad the gym is doing well with new members. That's always a good sign. But the wait time for equipment is now getting excessive. I'm pretty sure if Waltham had another decent gym that offered more equipment, this gym would most likely feel the impact.ProsAside from select front desk personnel, the staff seems friendly.Good hoursPlenty of free weightsPlenty of CardioFacility is spaciousLarge locker roomsPlenty of bathrooms. No going back and forth to the locker room.Variety of classesConsSelect front desk personnel, really make you feel unwelcome. So I try to avoid eye contact with them.Cost for what is offered now that there are more members than the gym can handle.Lacking equipmentLacking free standing adjustable benchesBoth are huge cons for me personallyMembers do not follow rules or gym etiquette. On there phones taking up equipment while talking to friends on the other side of the gym.alot of open space so it's bizarre that additional equipment isn't added. I'm sure there is a reason behind, but bizarre none the less.I'll probably give it another month or so and see how the workouts come out. Time is very important since I have little free time to spare.

I am frustrated with getting a swimming lane. If I sign up three days in advance. I can swim at 9 pm or 6 am. I miss the pool at Mount Auburn. The staff are very helpful from the desk to Adam the Manager. Parking is always available.

This gym has lost its appeal, there is no machinery available when I visit after work. The locker rooms are full and there's barely an open locker to leave my stuff in. The men's sauna has foul odor that you get a big smell from upon someone entering and its often closed for servicing. The men's showers have no showerheads. To make matters worse its difficult to park and fees have gone up! There's several high school and college kids who fill up the gym and it's become an inconvenient and stressful place to workout.

I have been a member for seven years now. The gym offers a variety of workout equipment and classes/programs to choose from. The facility is very clean, equipment is very diverse and the staff is professional and helpful. Keep up the good work WOAC!!

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!!!
