The Mount Auburn Club
Reviews
A average club at a premium club price. MAC may be great for tennis, but for fitness it's an expensive club with limitations. The target age group is older, most of the member seem to be doing rehab, not working out. They have lots of cardio machines, and a good number of resistance machines, but the free weights are tucked away in the corner with no room to safely lift. I've been a member at the University Club and Sports Club L/A in Boston; MAC is just below their price point, but not close in service, atmosphere, etc. My co-worker has been a member for years, he confirms it is not a friendly atmosphere among the members. I upgraded my review to 3 stars after they finally sent me a check refunding my money for the "free" trial. It took a month, follow up from me, and more that a few questions (i.e. not "no questions asked") before the refund was processed. If you're doing the free trial, then ask lots of questions, carefully check your credit card statements and get everything in writing.

If you're looking for the complete health club package, this is your place. From an extensive class schedule to personal and group trainings to tennis and even a spa, the MAC has what you're looking for. One of my favorite things about the MAC is the connivence of it's proximity to my work, the lack of hassel to park and it's awesome list of classes. There are so many classes to try and the instructors are knowledgeable and personable. I've stuck to a regular yoga and pilates class schedule, but I've also tried various other types of classes including Zumba and spinning. I've been to the club at all hours and I've never had to wait to use any of the equipment. They have a variety of cardio and strength training machines throughout the first floor. All the staff members at the MAC are really helpful and nice. Everyone greets you with a smile and they actually remember you.
I have been a member for 5 years and hope to continue for as long as I can! it is a perfect gym for me- clean, lots of different opportunities for exercise, great machines, classes and the personal trainers I have worked with are amazing. The pool is one of my favorite pools to swim in - especially in the morning when the sunlight streams through the windows!
I have been a member at the MAC for over two years. I am a new tennis player, and I am glad I joined. I have met wonderful people, and improved my tennis game dramatically. The staff is amazing. The tennis pros are very knowledgeable - Darren and Amine are incredible, but so are all the others. The spa is very nice as well, offering a wide array of services. Greta is amazing! The food at the cafe is pretty good - chef Julio does a great job with the smoothies!
