Fitness for Every Age, Goal, and Level
Everyone comes to The Vanderbilt Club for a different reason.
Some members want to build strength. Some want better cardio. Some want to lose weight, improve flexibility, stay mobile, or simply feel better during the day. Others come because they enjoy the energy of a class and the friendly faces they see each week.
That is why our fitness center is built around options. You can work out on your own, join a group exercise class, meet with a personal trainer, stretch, use the fitness equipment, or find a routine that fits your schedule.
The Vanderbilt Club welcomes beginners, longtime fitness members, students, parents, working professionals, retirees, and seniors who want a comfortable local place to stay active.
Over 85 Group Exercise Classes Each Week
The Vanderbilt Club offers one of the strongest group exercise programs in the Norwood area. Members enjoy over 85 group classes each week held in Studio A, Studio B, the pool, and our spacious Spin studio. Our line-up includes cardio, muscle, aerobics, Yoga, Pilates, Zumba, Spin, Barre, aquatics exercise, Fit For Life, and more!
Some classes are high-energy and sweat-focused. Others are gentler, slower, or designed to support balance, mobility, flexibility, and overall wellness. This variety helps members stay active without feeling stuck in the same routine. You can try different instructors, different class styles, and different levels of intensity until you find what fits your goals.
Group Fitness Classes Included With Membership
One of the biggest values of joining The Vanderbilt Club is that group fitness classes are included with membership.
Instead of paying separate studio-style prices for every class, members can enjoy a wide range of fitness classes as part of their regular club membership. That means you can take Spin one day, Yoga another day, Zumba later in the week, and a strength or stretching class when it fits your schedule.
This makes it easier to build a consistent routine without worrying about paying for every single class.
For many members, the group class schedule is one of the main reasons they choose The Vanderbilt Club.
It gives them structure, variety, and support while still keeping the comfortable feel of a local health club.
