I come here mainly on weekends, when my home Y closes way the heck too early (4pm vs 7pm here)…read more I'd say that about 70-80% of their equipment is fine. Lots of free weights and strength machines. The highlight is the huge, high-ceilinged (30-40ft?) functional fitness space that features a turf area, a sled, kettlebells, plyo boxes, plyo smash balls, a do-it-all calisthenics multi-station that includes weighted pulleys, dip and pullup and monkey bars, a free hanging real boxing bag (nice angled uppercut bag that's just the right weight to make you "dance" to avoid the swing back, yet forgiving enough that you can punch it without gloves without risking a broken wrist or bruised knuckles), a pair of Assault bikes and treadmills, a Concept rower, some meh Schwinn stationary bikes (more on that later), and two full squat cages with plenty of plates and barbells. So, what about the other 20-30%, you ask? Well, their cardio machines range from so-so to unusably lousy. All the treadmills are Precor, which are a clear step down from the Life Fitness TMs most Ys have: smaller uglier fuzzy screens with spotty internet connection that can freeze up in the middle of a workout, noisier and less stable platform. The stationary bikes are a mix of Precor (typical mediocre gym bike with crap ergonomics where you feel like you're on a creaky toy bike pedaling against some barbaric pad not magnetic resistance) and Espresso (video-gaming type bike clearly designed to seduce ADD teenagers or lazy af adults) and the horrible Schwinn bikes (just as bad as most home exercise bikes, you can understand why people mostly use them as clothes hangers). Please please please can you guys get at least a few KEISER bikes? We know you can have decent taste in cardio machines because you kept your CONCEPT rowers instead of choosing some oversized gym-brand rowers which look impressive but have similarly lousy ergonomics. Oh and they have non-mechanical Assault brand treadmills which nobody uses because they are brutal on the knees, too narrow and unstable. I don't know who was in charge of choosing the cardio equipment, but that person needs to be put to work cleaning the bathrooms or something more appropriate! The other major gripe I have is their sauna --- it's spacious and new and pretty, but who in the hell decided to have only ONE row of seating? Completely idiotic, folks: did you not pass seventh grade Life Science, where they teach you that heat RISES, and that's why all real saunas have TWO levels of seating, with the 2nd one being a good 4-5 feet off the ground so that you get the full benefit of the heat in the room? Here you have to STAND on the damned low benches if you want to get a decent sweat in ... the sauna thermometer reads 170F but if you're sitting down you'd be lucky to get 140-150F, which is useless. (The sauna of the Melrose YMCA has the same idiotic mistake.) So, while I'm grateful that this Y offers me decent hours to work out on weekends making the long drive out there worthwhile, their cardio machines selection and sauna design really really need a rethink.

My husband and I had a wedding song which isn't really a frequent play, and John was more than willing to accommodate us and play our special song. It really made our night to have it as our wedding song! :) From start to finish, planning was an absolute breeze! John was extremely helpful in suggesting mother/son and father/daughter-in-law music. The mother/son pick turned out to be one of mom's favorite songs!! With only a few generic suggestions from us, the band played an amazing variety of music that suited us and every last guest. People we never expected to see dancing completely rocked the dance floor! I can honestly say that we left that night wondering what kind of party we can have next, just to have a reason to work with Shine Band again!! No DJ will ever compare to a live band, and Shine tops the charts!!! Thank you Shine for making our reception a night we will never forget!

Suzanne has a real gift for explaining things and was extremely patient. The workshop was so much fun. We got handouts that I now keep in my camera bag for easy reference.

After the class we went for coffee and had an opportunity to share our photos and get feedback from Suzanne. It was the best photography class I've ever had. I can't wait to take another when I return to Boston. I highly recommend the Curious Soul Photo School!

The only reason I'm giving this farm one star is the amount of effort these horses put in trying to…read morekeep up. After riding here for a few years I finally said farewell after so much drama. If you don't want to show, board a horse, or ride multiple times per week you were not a top priority. It is all about the money and not the horses!! Throughout the times riding at this barn it was clear that there was and still is constant turnover of instructors. There were at least 15 different instructors in about 5 years and the makeup lessons. There are only 2 instructors that are still teaching at the farm after many years. More advanced riders such as myself were given the 'left over' horses during the summer camp and regular lessons since all the others were used way too much. These left over horses desperately needed a qualified trainer to work with them and not kids. Including a therapeutic riding horse that reared in the cross ties and needed way more training before it should have been added to the program. The beginner horses were used so much that they would go lame every other week. Safety is not a top priority at this farm for the campers, riders, and horses. In a few lessons I can remember a newer horse that was placed in beginner lesson programs that would throw riders weekly... but was never taken out of the lessons and given training. As for the birthday parties the owner never gave proper training. It was always whose not doing something... and throw them in there. We never had training for summer camp CIT either, even though it is stated online as well. If I have to pay over $300 a week I do not want to be treated as trash from other CIT's. There was no schedule for what to do with the campers only there lesson time and it was up to me to figure out what to do with them... with my great training. The barn owner can be rude, forgetful, and condescending. I had to wait for years to get my 3 paid for makeup lessons. After deliberating with the owner that in fact I had them even after I sent her the old emails, she kept denying. After stumbling across a previous farm horse I posted an older photo of that horse, named Magic, with me at Lil folk. Magic is obviously way happier at the place that he is now. The barn owner decided what a great opportunity to twist my words. She denied that was the horse yet went to the horses owner and told her something else. Just childish. I'll attach the photos below. You can't have your own opinion of this barn unless it's what the owner wants. Even if it would benefit the horses care and the safety of all riders. Overall I would NEVER recommend this barn for anything The last photo is BOSTON! He shared his bridle with Magic, but used different bits. Notice the difference in head coloration, size, and bit change (from Magic in previous photos.)
