What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for Longfellow are mixed, with long-term members often praising the facilities, staff, swim programs, group classes, and overall value, noting recent upgrades like free hydromassage and renovated saunas. Minor drawbacks mentioned include a lack of complimentary towels and occasional difficulty getting a lap lane. However, there are significant criticisms regarding customer service, with one potential new member feeling abruptly dismissed and another long-standing member expressing concerns about being unfairly removed from a family membership due to a perceived retaliatory action. Other issues include the absence of a dedicated family locker room, leading to older boys in women's changing areas, and complaints about the poor cleanliness, dirt, and mold in the men's locker rooms. The club is generally seen as catering more to families and children rather than individual gym-goers.

I love Longfellow and have been coming here for almost 50 years since I was a kid. It's a great place for individuals and families, but it's not perfect. Sometimes I can't get a lane for swimming laps, for example. Also, it would be nice if they had towels. That said, I'm shocked by the negative reviews, especially anyone lower than 3 stars. That's not a fair review; it's asking for perfection or whining. The club now offers FREE access to its Relaxation Room including the hydromassage chairs. The saunas were recently upgraded. The weights area is solid (the Natick more so than the smaller Wayland club). The staff is generally outstanding. The swim program and lessons are extraordinary. And the group classes - yoga+ - are outstanding. You get a lot for your money ... but bring your own towel;)

I called this place March 4th, at 2pm to join a clinic in the evening. I am an advanced player looking to get back into playing form and possibly join a club. I was summerly dismissed and the woman that I spoke with cut me off and said I could not join the class because I was not a member. When I said I was looking to possibly join she still hung up on me saying that I was not a member. I am happy that this club is set with their membership and doesn’t need any new blood. Kudos! For anyone else looking to join, seek another place. This is not a welcoming place.

I will rate this health club as a 3 because I like Longfellow, the club itself, however you all must beware of something. I have been a member there since I was 15 years of age under my parents family membership, and I'm now in my late 30's. I don't go there often, However I was told abruptly by the health club owner yesterday that I have been taken off of the family membership and need to get my own membership because I am over the age of 23, and something to do with households. I am JUST NOW being told this information when am in my late 30's. This happened randomly because of a special needs person I happen to know left a few cups OUTSIDE of their health club(I wasn't there that day/days), so he/they decided to take this out on me. The owner claimed I have been getting a free ride this entire time since the age of 23, when I never knew of any policy they had and again, just now being told this info. My parents are investors of his health club, and as far as I was told or knew, that includes a family membership. I am their daughter. Doesn't matter my age. I don't mind getting my own membership-however they shouldn't be taking out what a special needs individual did that I just happen to know-out on me. Remind you, I barely go to the health club anyways, only to spend time with family around the pool. EVERY other family that owns a membership at that club and invests, at least now you know the rule, and won't be surprised like I was. Every family membership at that health club should also be looked into to verify the owner isn't discriminating against me or my family. Thank you.

It's good for what you get - however, they don't have a family locker room/changing room, so you'll often see mothers bring their boys who are older than 4 years old in to the women's locker room. Makes it hard to relax in the sauna or steam room. With that said, the gym is catered towards kids/families rather than the average gym goer.

Men's locker rooms are disgusting, dirt and mold everywhere, badly need renovations
