“Has a community feel to it.”
From the reviews
I love the Northampton Athletic Club. Great staff. There are two floors of weights, a basketball court, a cycling room, a cross fit setup, a whole bunch of treadmills, a yoga room, a kid's area, a rock climbing wall, plenty of weight machines, and a large variety of classes.
Nice gym, free towels, very private showers with a changing room before each one, dry and wet saunas, and the staff is really nice. A few really great group classes too, I would recommend anything with Andrea and Vinyasa with Sabine.
As a person who's been a gym member (at different gyms in California, in San Francisco & Newport Beach) for the past 10 yrs, active outdoors, & has a need for self-care through physical exercise + exercise community, I love NAC. **Note: I've only attended classes, i.e.
Northampton Athletic Club is an outstanding choice with a wide variety of equipment (freeweights, Cybex, TRX, Peloton, rock climbing wall, pickleball, basketball) and a wealth of regular classes (Zumba, Pilates, yoga, spin, boot camp, strength). Personal trainers are also available.
