Tennis/Racquetball court fees are now $20/hr . New management has taken over now converting the existing three (out of 6) tennis courts to 12 Badminton courts.
The badminton lessons are taught by two young badminton champions who are the co-owners of the club as well.
Three tennis courts are in 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 procedure for tennis and other sports.
This club has the following racket sports - Badminton, tennis, pickleball and racket ball (squash).
Swimming lessons are reasonable and well structured. The fitness rooms are always empty. There are various group classes conducted by seasoned instructors.
The highlight of this club is the outdoor pool which is a heated 12ft deep pool and has two dedicated lap lanes. Plus they have a wading pool for toddlers.
They have a promotions for new members.
The new management has plans to upgrade the gym and few other areas.
The guest fees is $25 but you need to sign up online and accept the waiver (standard procedure for all clubs)
The general manager Brian Lynch is very friendly, and he is reachable through email. He conducts tours of the club for prospective members. He does not pressurize anyone to join.

Our family started the membership at wayside one year ago, it offers everything that we expected: pool for swimming, gym of physical exercise and courts to play racket sports with friends. The owner and staff have kept the place very clean and are constantly improving it. The gym just got upgraded with lots of new equipments. Plus, they offer the top level badminton training program for kids, and open outdoor pool during summer time. Best place for family!

when I bought my membership at the beginning of the year the club did not offer individual membership option for badminton only or tennis only (those were introduced much later in the year). And I bought the membership mainly to use the badminton court. Paid the 1000 dollars annual fee. In September the club carried out renovations to the badminton court making it unusable for a whole month while also taking up spaces for the already small tennis court for badminton lessons. AND THEY REFUSE TO extend my membership for one more month of badminton court/tennis court usage due to the disruptions of constructions. They only offer extension to later people who bought the badminton only option. What a joke. This is how they would treat their customers.

Affordable gym but very outdated. A lot of money has been spent on the badmitton facilities but everything from the locker rooms to the pool and especially the tennis courts desperately need work. There are much better facilities in the surrounding towns but if you're just looking for the cheapest, this may fit the bill.

I have been coming to Wayside since I was a child for swim lessons. In recent years, I rejoined in order to have access to weights, pool and sauna all in one location. As a hybrid athlete this gym has everything that I need. Staff and management work hard to keep the facility clean and up to date. There is something for everyone here. The GM Brian has been especially responsive and considerate to me and my needs over the years.

Room for improvement. The lounge is a bit run down and uninviting, bathrooms could be redone and the staff could be more polite. I’ll look elsewhere for next year.

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.

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

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 have been working with Stephanie for the past six months. Through my workouts I am stronger, have more stamina and find that I am in the best shape physically than I have been in years.
I would recommend Stephanie to anyone who is looking for an understanding trainer to help them become more physically fit.

The best yoga class and teacher, Leslii S., ever. She is a wonderful teacher, that works the whole body feet to head. Between swimming, water exercise classes, and swimming laps at the Club my physical health has improved immensely. However, it was not until I started the classes with Leslii that I started to feel great.

Membership fees are very unfriendly toward adults. Geared mainly for families with lots of kids. E.g., "couples only" membership is the same price as "couples + 3 kids membership". Facility also very run down. Also watch out for "set up fee" and yearly "maintenance fee". How entering a new member into the computer system (i.e. set up) and facility maintenance isn't covered by the very expensive membership fee is a joke.

I love the small group training class. I wish it was offered more than just once/week. I love the way I feel after the class. It's challenging, but in a way that is not overwhelming. I love the variety of each class and how it never gets boring. Jeanine is great - she doesn't let you slack (like she's caught me doing a couple of times) and the members in the class are so much fun!

Facilities need to be updated. Pool staff are not good with kids and are really grumpy. Sat at the pool and watched as the life guard scrolled through his phone. Good thing is there are plenty of seats at the pool.

I have taken the small group class with Jeanine twice now and absolutely love it love it love it. Nice variety of exercises that also allow me to modify when I need without compromising the workout. I hope it becomes a permanent fixture. I also want to say that recent Zumba gold class and the pop up class by Cathy were fantastic and hope they will be offered on a permanent basis.

Wayside Athletic Club is my favorite fitness establishment in the area. During this pandemic they have practiced thorough safety and sanitation procedures while doing all they can to accommodate their members’ needs to move their bodies and safely interact with others. I cannot recommend them enough to people of all ages! The management is wonderful, specifically Brian, who is a very responsive and receptive staff member. If you were on the fence about joining, especially during a pandemic, this is your sign to get on it.

Wayside has always been a place I could count on.
Always friendly, Always clean and easy to get in and get out.
Wide range of sports and fitness activities for all ages… swimming, tennis, racquet ball, cycle class and Les Mills group exercise are just a few!
Early morning classes they have you covered. Evening classes they also have your covered.

I feel safe and its a place I depend on to workout hard, get my sweat on and leave feeling good about myself.
If you keep showing up they will too. In it together, always has been and always will be.

See you there!
Sincerely yours

I was a member of this club for years. My family were members. It"s like a family at the club. I loved it so much that I trained to be a group exercise and water fitness instructor. I love the participants in my classes ... we have a good time while working hard. Exercise should be fun. I encourage all reading this to come down and check out the facility and see what we're offering. It's the best exercise facility around.

My son and I had an awful experience here in this club. Never going back. Life guard was extremely rude and put my child in danger. When I approached the club’s manager, he didnt do anything about it. I do not recommend this club or swimming lessons to anyone. Do not put your child in danger.

I give them 4 stars, because there's still room for improvement, but I can see that there have been recent changes in the right direction. I come early in the morning for swimming and the life guards are always there on time and very helpful.

This is a big change from what it used to be (waiting in the hall for life guards to come in and everyone being grumpy). Kudos to the life guards and management for getting the right people in. I also have to say that I see a big improvement in most of the staff. People are on time and friendly.

Although I don't agree with all the changes in the weight / aerobic area, I have to say the effort is there. It's cleaner and there is new equipment.

I'd still like to see the roof leaks fixed in the gym area, its annoying to have to dodge the barrels of water when lifting weights etc. This has been going on for years. Budgeted monies for this problem would be well spent.

Do not spend money in Fitness, moved all Fitness equipments in Ugly area looks like Jail cell and no air circulations at all. Some equipments removed from the area and will not be replaced. Most seniors are not happy due to increased membership fee with no services. Fitness training staff is great but upper level management not good. They never listen or get members survey or feed back before relocated fitness equipments in ugly area. All current members not happy at all!!!

I like this club, have been a paying member since the first shovel about 100 years ago.
Am a tennis fanatic all those years but now to save on the electric bill they changed from professional indirect lighting to some cheap direct lighting. Its dark and on high shots you look into several lights! What a shame!
I am almost dead but for the rest of the tennis players it is a major negative!
They should go to indirect lighting, the ceilings are still white to reflect!
Maybe prayer will work!

I have been a Wayside Club Member for about ten years and highly value the club for its friendly staff and members - it's a real community. The racquetball program is very active and friendly, the indoor and outdoor pools are great, the fitness center is fine and there are plenty of group classes including Yoga when you want get super-relaxed. There's no shortage of facilities, including Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. I totally recommend the club.
