The Woolen Mill Health Club

Was, yes was a great gym with a great staff; Out of business; Only open now to Woolen Mill tenants.

They have fresh towels and now they have free wifi! Really enjoying the gym. Staff is consistently helpful and present.

I’ve been working out here for a few months and I love this place. I’m an exercise enthusiast and I’ve been to a lot of gyms, and this is probably the best one I’ve had a membership at. The employees know me by first name and always say hi, and the facilities are spotless. Its never crowded or loud and there is a very accepting, friendly environment, no matter what your level of fitness is.
The membership fee is reasonable, and the work out equipment is top-​notch. If you’re looking for a gym, I recommend this one. Also, I wasn’t able to find any other gyms in the area that had the facilities this one had, which is really important if you want to get a full range of work outs. This gym is great! They even have wi-​fi.

I definitely agree with the reviewer who said that you have to be able to «work with it.» The gym is kept very clean and all most all of the machines have been in good working order. The staff are all very friendly and cheerfully greet you as you come in.
My main complaint is that they play really bad soft/​sappy music that makes it hard for me to be motivated to work out. They are a little stingy with the air conditioning and it can seem a little unbearable to keep running when there are a lot of people on the cardio machines during the summer months.
My membership is included in the rent of my apartment, so I don’t know if I would choose this gym over any others. Its great as an amenity to an apartment building, but I can’t imagine this being a place that people pay to go to. I don’t know what any of the other gyms in the Burlington area are like, but the Woolen Mill Health Club is probably not worth your money if you have to travel any farther than 5 minutes away.

Overpriced. Raquetball court is not airconditioned so is unbearable in the summer. The staff is nice; however, the hours aren’t great (close at 9pm) and last year the staff let a stranger in who ended up stealing keys from the locker room and then breaking into cars in the parking lot.

Hello, weary gym-​shopper.
I know what you’re going through. I have been a member of many many an exercise establishment, and it’s one of the first things I try to get squared away when moving to a new place: doc, decent grocery, gym. Medicine, these things are.
Upon moving up here, I was faced with quite a few options across the price range: I look for cardio equipment, jacuzzi, not enormous and pricey, and ideally, swimming pool. Donedonedonedone.
TWMHC (schmancy acro) has ALL of these things, plus memberships are very reasonably priced, even better than the Y. The staff are OUTSTANDING, friendly, very helpful, know what the heck they’re takling about, and did I mention helpful? Its small size can make weekends during winter a bit crowded, but it’s a fair trade off IMHO.
The pool is incredibly cool, as if carved out of rock, you get the snappy urbane exposed brick in the gym proper, and oh yes there is a hot tub. (Vermont should be dotten with hot tubs, wintertime’s saving grace.)
Only a very few testosterone clods there, and mostly younger and professional clientele with the random «I signed up for the machine but I’m nowhere to be found» dingdong. A pretty good arrangement methinks.
Outstanding staff (Jackie, Chris, and the Great Don, among others), very clean and appropriate facilities, and reasonably close to most things. Like my house.

Small, but clean and comfortable. The machines work, the hot tub is soothing, and the pool is nice and warm. I wish it were closer to my house, but Woolen is definitely one of the highest quality gyms for the price.
And did I mention the hot tub?

I miss the Woolen Mill Health Club. The facility was small, but quiet and clean. Even at peak times there was rarely a wait for a machine, the locker rooms are well-​maintained, and the staff is helpful and cordial (I wouldn’t go quite so far as friendly).
The best part was having a sauna as well as a hot tub in the locker room. You could sit in the hot tub and not have to deal with the big man in the little bathing suit leering at you… and you never have to worry about being flashed in the sauna (true stories).
Oh the other best part is that memberships start south of the $ 30/​month mark. Mmmmhm. Top that.
