Dedham Health & Athletic Complex

I really like this place. It's not a shiny modern chain gym but more of a quirky local business with a lot of things to offer (tennis, pool, cardio, strength, sauna etc). Fitness is not crowded at all and all equipment is well maintained. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and chill. No corporate BS here. What more could you ask for.

We love the swimming program for children, here! The water is warm and so is the entire pool area. The instructors are kind and funny. Parents can observe in the pool area or in a separate room outside. The showers are not crowded. There is plenty of parking and the reception is well staffed and organized. Our kids want to come to their lessons and they made a lot of progress! We moved them from a different program at a different pool and we are so glad we did. They used to fight us and refuse to go to swim class because instructors were strict and the water was cold. But at the Dedham Health and Athletic Complex Center our kids have everything they need to feel confident and comfortable. Thanks a lot!!!

After being loyal members of DHAC for several years, my husband and I cancelled our membership because of extremely disrespectful behavior by the senior trainer towards my husband. The day after the 2024 election this man verbally attacked him, without provocation, for what he assumed were his political views. We were shocked by this total lack of professionalism on the part of a staff member toward whom we had always shown respect. We then joined the local YMCA and were pleased to find an excellent facility at half the price!

I wish the tennis coordinator responds to emails !! Nobody can see him, we can only email him and he will never respond to queries. Well if he’s that busy we can respect his schedule but have someone else responding to emails. This is disrespectful to people, parents who want to join tennis lessons.

DHAC is a place dreams come true physically. I have been a member since the 1980's, and the owner's have worked tirelessly to improve on what has already been provide to their clients. The exercise room notably has the latest equipment and weights, and also includes a caring staff that is trained to assisti in weight loss, cardio, and strengthening training as well. I have utilized the in house salon for several social occasions that I was attending to look my vey best. After a fracture and ligament. damage, my Primary Care doctor, prescribed physical therapy in the adult pool for several months. This therapy was highly effective and I made a full recovery. There are oher clubs in the vicinity that offer.as much as DHAC but I didn't feel the tenderness and care that I have received at my own club of 40 plus years. I encourage you to come and share with me in this wonderful uplifting place.
