Best Gyms with Resistance Machines near Marlboro, Massachusetts

New management has taken over now converting the existing three tennis courts to 12 Badminton courts. The remaining three tennis courts are the bubble are good enough for winter and other seasons. Club timings are extended now up to Midnight on weekdays + Saturday and up to 10pm on Sundays They have a handy app which makes it easy to book reservations. For swimming, you can book a lane and it is all yours for the time period. Same thing for tennis and other sports. This club has the following racket sports - Badminton, tennis, pickleball and racket ball (squash). The highlight of this club is the outdoor pool which is a heated 12ft deep pool and has two lap lanes. Plus they have a wading pool for toddlers. They have a promotion now for enrollment fees being waived until end of Jan31, at 3pm. Plus no tennis court fees for this year. The new management has plans to upgrade the gym and few other areas. The guest fees is $15 now but will increase to $30 soon.

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.

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.

Absolutely LOVE my experience over the past year!! I can swim year round between the indoor and outdoor pools. Swimming laps is so much fun and relaxing. The lifeguard staff are always very friendly and helpful. My absolute FAVORITE part of Wayside is taking Leslii’s yoga classes. She is a yogi GENIUS!! My flexibility has increased significantly, my body feels like it is healing from COVID madness and my anxiety and depression have found new coping mechanisms thanks to Leslii’s expertise and knowledge.

I don’t like planet fitness in general but this place is clean and kept up with by the staff as well as the members. They’re always rearranging the equipment placement probably to try and improve the layout which is nice for them to consider. Most people mind their business and I haven’t seen anyone shooting their own videos to post online which was annoying about my old gym.

UPDATE 6/28/22: Come on Planet Fitness, you could have done a much better job of letting everyone know that you would be closed for 3 days. What about an email blast, or mass texting? I believe you have everyone's email/ cellphones. This was done very poorly. My experience was this. I pulled into Planet Fitness Monday morning @ 5am, and noticed that none of the lights were on. I said oh great someone's late. I watched as about 20 people headed for the door. I thought to myself they'll be down in a minute. It took about 3 minutes, and they were all down and looking very aggravated. The whole parking lot emptied out with attitude (including myself). I assumed that someone just didn't show up, so I came back the next morning thinking I'll ask what happened. Once again, there were people there, but this time the lights were on. I said oh good. I started heading up with everyone and I got up there and noticed the notes on the door. Once again fuming, but for a different reason. A few of us stopped in the lobby downstairs to vent our frustrations on the lack of communication. The next day (Wednesday) I happened to be in the area, and I saw two young ladies getting out of their car with workout clothes on, so I drove over and let them know the bad news before they walked upstairs. Once again, more shocked members. One last point, I drove over there 2 days in a row, and my drive is 40 minutes round trip each day. With the price of gas being what it is, it's another reason this bothers me so much. I think you get the picture, and it's not good. END OF UPDATE: ================================================================ I Joined this club in December 2021, and I have to say I'm very happy with it. So why the 4 stars and not 5? Starting during the holidays, it went downhill with the cleanliness. After the new year it was really bad. The men's room was a disaster. I could tell some of the people / members that used it were out partying (eating and drinking), and I think that they must have still been high when they came back the next weekend. I'll give them that as an explanation, but to come right out and say it, I'm sorry that those few people belong to the same nice gym I do. I'd say over 95% of the people that use that gym are responsibly clean and caring people, but as you know anywhere you go there's always a few that could care less. Very sad! That being said the staff didn't appear ready for the onslaught of a few disgusting people. Thats why I'm hoping that the next time I can give them a 5 star because they really do deserve it. Over all the staff do an excellent, job, and take their job seriously. They probably could use some help during that same period of time next year. I know; easier said than done with covid and the scarcity of help. I do commend you guys for running a good business during these trying times. This review is just putting the blame where it belongs. We all share the blame.

Gym has gotten my 5 star this time because they’re no longer requiring masks. I wish they’d also support all Kind of gym goers such as the heavy lifters but here they clearly have names for this type of lifter; ‘hunkers’ 🤷🏽‍♂️. Sadly we don’t live a perfect world so we take the good with the bad and just go with it. They’re keeping it clean and the members are also doing a great job at doing their own cleaning as well. Drink station kept pretty neat and the service here is overall great and uplifting. There’s no short of equipment and the atmosphere is proactive.

Best gym I have ever joined. Staff is friendly, helpful, and professional. The facilities are top notch with well maintained and clean space.

I love the gym!! It’s very nice, it has a lot of machines, lot to do. But it would be much better and helpful for those of us who work late and want to spend a bit more of time at the gym, it would fantastic to have a hour or two extra hours 💗

I have been coming here since 09 when I moved to the area and this gym has evolved and has gotten better over time. I noticed positive changes over the years from updating of equipment and subtle cosmetic changes so it never looks old and tired. I really like the variety of equipment, it is spacious so it never feels overcrowded. Staff is very friendly and there is always a positive vibe which makes Encompass very welcoming.

I have been going to Encompass for a few years. This place is great. The staff and trainers are very friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. The staff and trainers always greet you when you walk in the door! I always get a great workout in. Encompass has a different array of machines depending what you are training for that day. The place is always clean. Great place to work out!

I have been working out at Encompass Fitness for around 2 years now. Sean the owner of the gym has pride in his fitness center and keeps it especially clean. Many who train at Encompass Fitness know each other and are very nice people but everyone keeps to themselves for the most part. This is perfect for when you are just trying to get a pump.

Enjoy this place Steve has helped me out with some of my form issues despite not even being one of his clients cool guy. chopped it up with the owner a few times he’s good people and genuinely cares about the members

I have been going here for years! Great gym, clean atmosphere and up to date equipment. The owner and workers are always friendly and help with anything you need! I would definitely recommend this gym! I have tried others in the past and this one is definitely better quality, cleaner, and everybody makes you feel comfortable while you are there!

Awesome instructors, with great classes offered! They push you to give your 110% effort during the workouts. I LOVE the results I’m seeing with their 20/20/20 set up. Definitely worth every penny!

I always love coming to take class with Ashlee, Kellie, and Olivia. It’s such a unique format and the perfect mix of cardio, strength, and yoga. Highly recommend to anyone of all fitness levels.

Ths best gym around, hands down! The workout is no joke, but that's why we love it! Our butts are kicked every time, but we leave feeling awesome! The staff are all lovely! They're always welcoming, encouraging, and motivating. The facility is clean and up-to-date. I feel like I'm part of a community at Spenga. I highly recommend this gym!

I absolutely love the SPENGA concept, combining Spin, Endurance, and Yoga into one dynamic workout. It's the perfect blend of cardio, strength training, and flexibility. The classes are challenging, fun, and well-instructed. The instructors are knowledgeable and fun. The facility is always clean and well-maintained. I highly recommend SPENGA to anyone looking for a fun and effective workout :)

I've been a member for over 2 years now and I absolutely LOVE it here! There are many different class structures so the workout routines are never the same. They keep you challenged, motivated and wanting to come back the next day. My favorite part is the staff and instructors - they are invested in your fitness journey and will ALWAYS bring the energy. NEVER a dull moment in the studio! Definitely try it out if you're looking to switch up your workout routine or complement an existing one.

Great gym! They have all of the equipment you need with the nicest staff. Vicky & Miguel make everything so easy, always ready to answer any questions I have and help with the machines.

I've been a member of this gym for over 5 years, and the experience has been consistently positive. The staff in particular provide a welcoming, attentive, and professional energy that makes this gym stand out. Their dedication to maintaining a clean, inviting space makes every visit enjoyable. It's great to see a women-led team making such a positive impact in the community. Highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Anytime Fitness in Marlborough for two months. It has been exactly what I am looking for. As someone who is not a gym goer, I was worried it would be intimidating, but I’ve found the staff wonderfully supportive as I’ve begun my fitness journey. I appreciate the personal training options that they offer, it has helped me become significantly more comfortable with strength training.

I just went to this location tonight and I'm so impressed! I've been an anytime member for 5 years and have gone to locations across 6 states, and this is one of the cleanest and most well-maintained gyms I've been to. No traffic jams at the squat rack and a huge turf space to train on. I'll be coming back for sure!

Cleanest ‘Anytime Fitness’ I’ve been to, great equipment, positive and friendly staff!! Would recommend! Not too crowded, always equipment available
