Definitely the best place for beginners to learn tennis!!! Coach Mandy is always patient and encouraging me, really helps me enjoy tennis!! Coach Ayman pays more attention to the technique, he can always notice the tiny details to improve my motion and swing! The private lessons with them help me improve my tennis ability so fast! I am so glad I choose this club to learn tennis, will be back asap!

My kids have been attending camp, gymnastics lessons, and swimming lessons at Shrewsbury Club and have had a great experience. The Camp Director has been very accommodating/flexible of my sometimes unpredictable schedule. They have been my number one choice of childcare on snow days, professional days, and other random no school days. My kids enjoy going and especially love the gymnastics specialty camp. They also worked with us to have a plan for safe activities when my son was limited due to being in a cast.

My son has Bryan Whynot for personal fitness training. His expertise and knowledge have been superb. Bryan takes great care customizing workouts to our son’s athletic needs. He demonstrates correct form and pays special attention to injury prevention. My son has seen direct results due to Bryan’s great work!

My kids have been taking tennis lessons with Mandy Priore for the past few years and they absolutely love it! She is patient and knowledgeable about the sport. My son hopes to join the tennis team in high school and really enjoys his lessons. He has progressed a lot in the past two years.

Bitty basketball at The Shrewsbury Club was a wonderful experience for my son. Coach E is fantastic. He’s patient with kids and he is an excellent teacher. My son learned so many skills under his guidance. We are really grateful to Coach E! I should add that my son also took a basketball class taught by both Coach E and Coach Jason. Jason is also a great instructor.

Im only reviewing based on kids activities - we did the junior membership for about 2 years, and I will say that the fact they offer a membership only for kids is more budget-friendly We started with semi-private swim lessons and I can’t say enough good things about that program, the instructor was wonderful, and my kids gained the confidence they needed to become very strong swimmers. They were all flexible, communicative, friendly and wonderful Next we did gymnastics for younger kids (6 & 8) and it was fine. The people who run that program were equally communicative and friendly. The young girls who actually led the class were ok - I wasn’t super impressed by them but it’s a class for little kids so I also didn’t have too many expectations. The older kid programs did seem super impressive, and the smaller class sizes compared to other similar programs in the area are great. When my kids lost interest in gymnastics we tried out karate which they were very excited to start. About a month in they HATED going and it became a fight. It just didn’t seem like the people running that program knew how to inject fun and inspiration into a program for young kids. Parents also weren’t allowed to watch (more of a space issue which is totally fair) - but they also didn’t organize anything so parents could see the progress their kids were making which was frustrating. I had my kids stay in the program until they earned their belts, thinking the accomplishment might reignite their excitement, but it didn’t. It also took them 3 weeks to get the belt after passing the test which, for young kids, is pretty disappointing. My younger son was already leaving the program, so I offered to donate his belt to the program since I knew it would only gather dust at our house - to which I was met with a dismissive response and they didn’t want it. They also didn’t allow the kids water breaks during the 45 minute class which I have mixed feelings about. Last, we did Summer Camp. My kids hated it. You can do a la carte days which is very budget friendly. They have a pool, which I thought would be great. My son (who took swimming lessons at Shrewsbury club) didn’t pass the swim test. My other son refused to even try all summer. Rather than being encouraged to try again by staff, my kids seemed completely disheartened & didn’t try all summer - so they missed out on that all summer and while I hold my kids responsible to try, I also feel like staff discouraged and made the kids feel judged. My son got a big bump on his head (it happens) and mom received a phone call as they were following concussion protocols, but she wasn’t available to answer. Dad (who was doing 90% of the drop off and pick up) received no phone call. When mom finally was able to return the clubs call she asked if Dad had been contacted & when Sarah said no, Mom requested that if this happens in the future to please make sure to contact 2nd parent if 1st parent doesn’t answer. Was met with a dismissive response again, and wasn’t notified of his many injuries until e.o.d. One time my son forgot his water bottle, and again - no parent was called to bring one, and we learned that again kids are not given water breaks throughout the day to go to a water fountain or just reminded to drink water because they’re children. They’re expected to just always have water bottles & drink. Also, when my son told counselors he was thirsty he was dismissed - not allowed to go to a water fountain or given an extra or parents called to bring his forgotten water bottle - but told to go sit down or join back in whatever activity he was doing. My children came home with tons of similar stories of counselors just being rude and dismissive to the kids, including 1 counselor calling another kid a cry baby which was corroborated by multiple children (a bunch of mom friends signed up all our kids for camp so they’d have a fun summer together). Overall, it seemed like poorly managed teenagers with not a great morale running this summer camp, and bringing up concerns marks you as “difficult”

I have three children under the age of 6 that all attend The Shrewsbury Club, and my husband and I could not be happier with our experiences there. They participate in karate, basketball, dance, and summer camp. We also utilize the Kids Club multiple times a week for additional child care. We are at ease knowing that not only are our kids safe and well cared for, but also that they genuinely enjoy going each week and are engaged in all these activities as well. Our children have made so many positive relationships with the other children and the adults at The Shrewsbury Club. Thank you!!

My children had swim lessons with Ms. Julia this summer and she was fantastic. Both my kids improved their swimming drastically from her instruction. Ms. Julia made every minute of the lesson count teaching skills, building confidence, and creating a fun environment. She is a wonderful swimming instructor for all ages and I highly recommend her! Separately, my children did not have an excellent experience at the summer camp. Communication btwn staff and parents was lacking for minor kid injuries, ex: mark and small bruise on face. Sport and activities were not explained well to kids from my understanding. I was disappointed that my kid expressed to me they felt some of staff did not care about them. Overall, I had hoped my kids would come home from camp happy and sadly they did not.
