Best Gyms with Outdoor Pools near Natick, Massachusetts

Longfellow is a great family club. The classes are great and people greet you by name and make you feel like family. Everyone that works there is happy to be there and cares about making it a positive experience for its members. I highly recommend this health club. They are also doing everything they can to keep people safe during the pandemic which is extremely important to me.

I've been a member here for nearly 10 years and really like it. It has everything I'm looking for in a gym in terms of equipment and classes. But I also really like the people who work there--a lot of them have worked there for a very long time and they really get to know the members. And I like that it's a small business. They supported their employees throughout the pandemic shutdown, which I really respect.

I have been using the pool 5 days a week since January and the facilities, the staff and the members all exceed my expectations. The front desk is always friendly, the lifeguards are alert and smiling, and the other swimmers are friendly and welcoming. It’s a very positive environment with an excellent pool for swimming and physical therapy.

We were looking for an hour's time for an indoor ultimate frisbee season on a court at night. We were treated horribly by BSC Wellesley, where we had already played 8 seasons, so imagine our delight when on the recommendation of someone on Nextfdoor, we tried Longfellow. (I had actually been a member there for many years when I lived nearby.) The contrast was night-and-day in every respect. The facility was almost exactly what we needed, the only drawback being a couple of metal goalposts at either end. On my suggestion (and it was a good one in general), they are purchasing padding. But it only took one suggestion and they jumped on it. The staff was fantastic. You know it's a great place because the people we interacted with have been there more than 20 years. Unlike BSC, where they never responded other than to make us feel like they were doing us a favor, the Longfellow folks (Lisa and Judy, I think?) knew who the customer was and treated us as such.

I'm not a member but I've been here multiple times over the last 24 yrs. with the different children I have cared for. It's a great place for kids they have swim lessons and swim team, tennis, basketball, general gym and other activities for the kids. If I had my own kids I would consider a membership for the kids
