🌼 The Longfellow Health and Happiness Mandala 🌼

In 2017, we created the Longfellow Health and Happiness Mandala. This mandala represents our holistic approach to health and fitness, where we believe in nurturing both mind and body to lead a fulfilling life. Just like our Core Values Mandala, this one reflects the collective wisdom of our entire staff.

Through group discussions and brainstorming, we created these core values that guide us and that we hope to share with you on your wellness journey:

👉 Be present
👉 Love people
👉 Eat well
👉 Get moving
👉 Think positive
👉 Have fun
👉 Embrace nature
👉 Relax and restore

Visit our clubs and let us guide you on your journey to wellbeing and happiness. Together, we can achieve a healthier, more fulfilling life.

🌟 The Longfellow Core Values Mandala 🌟

Did you know each Longfellow Health Club proudly features a unique mandala?

Designed in 2012, this "Longfellow Core Values" Mandala embodies our commitment to our Mission and Purpose. It all started with a vision! We loved the mandala format and wanted to translate our core values into this beautiful and symbolic representation. These values weren't just dreamed up by a few. During our annual management retreat, every member of our team participated in group work and conversation to ensure ALL voices were heard.

The final product? A powerful set of core values that truly reflects what makes Longfellow special:

✅ Wow our members every day with extraordinary customer service.
✅ Create experiences that result in life-long transformation.
✅ Foster a caring Longfellow community and treat others with respect and dignity.
✅ Express appreciation with affirming words and deeds.
✅ Share what we know and seek to learn more.
✅ Make Longfellow sparkle.
✅ Contribute to our community and our environment.
✅ Deliver happiness and have fun doing it.
✅ Join us and experience the values that make Longfellow a place where everyone can thrive.

💪 Our Mission Statement 💪

The Longfellow Health Clubs, locally-owned and independent, are dedicated to the health and wellbeing of our community. We live this mission by offering extraordinary fitness, recreational, and educational programs tailored to all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

We are so proud of our new operations at the Longfellow Wellesley Tennis and Health Club, formerly known as BSC Wellesley Club at Babson College.

BSC Wellesley closed in Nov. 2023, but the historic club, with nearly 50 years of legacy, is ready to flourish once again under Longfellow's care!

After a competitive selection process with over 50 interested parties, Babson College selected Longfellow to lease this facility for the next 20 years. We have promptly begun extensive remodeling and repairs to every part of this exceptional health and tennis club, ensuring it will continue to serve its community for generations to come.

Stay tuned for updates on our progress and grand reopening! 🏆

We're Nerfing it! Join us this Sunday for another epic melee. Beat the heat and try to beat your adversaries within the comfort of our climate-controlled turf combat arena. Non-members are welcome, too, and you don't need to sign up in advance. Check out this flyer for details. See you there!

When our Longfellow family needs help, we answer. 💙

A Longfellow staff family is in need right now. Please see their stories below if you'd like to contribute financially.

Art Coleman Family Fund:
👉 One of Longfellow's most respected and experienced tennis professionals is Art Coleman, who has been teaching tennis for over 30 years. His son, Drew, recently had a serious skiing accident in Colorado. Thankfully, Drew had successful spinal surgery and is now in rehab with a positive prognosis. Drew is a remarkable young man who grew up at Longfellow, taught here and attended our summer camps.
👉 The family has faced countless expenses during this process. To donate, go here: https://www.freefunder.com/campaign/art-coleman-family-fund.
