The biggest issue I have with FLASH is that they illegally use cancellation tactics and roadblocks to make it almost impossible to cancel the membership. Under MA state law their "rules and conditions" are illegal. I have spent almost a half a year of my very busy life trying to get this con of a company to cancel my membership.

It's over packed more than any gym I've ever seen. Con 2: There is one urinal in men's restroom. 400 people in the building with one urinal. You do the math.

I drove to Medford where they told me that that club was under a different PF franchise. They said I couldn't come in without paying. I then drove to the Waltham club where they let me in to workout. Porter Sq should have listed the clubs that I could go to. Medford should have let me in for the day, given what I had to go through. Very disappointing. Waste of lots of gasoline when gas is expensive. Waste of my time and energy too.

I like this place. They got me in for June and May 2022 for the small group training. I like the…read morefact that it is a 7am class and the programming and instructor are really good. The cost is $260 for 1 month which is not cheap but also not like, Equinox prices for personal training. Will likely continue in the summer/fall 2022 if they have the space. Parking is a little tough if you do not have a Somerville Permit (need to find a meter in the AM or just hope you do not get towed in front of the Car Wash place). Overall a great spot in the Cambridge/Somerville area. Reminds me of Ethos in the South End.

I was very excited to be at Lifetime. I was invited as a guest and walked in feeling motivated and…read morehappy to experience the gym. Unfortunately, that completely changed after taking a class with the instructor, Alexander Liviner. From the beginning, his attitude came across as arrogant and superior -- exactly the opposite of what I was hoping for. At one point, he made fun of me for being slow. It was completely unnecessary. If he was trying to be funny, it wasn't funny at all. It felt humiliating rather than motivating. I also got a little confused with the weights and accidentally grabbed the wrong one. Instead of guiding me or correcting me in a professional way, he made a facial expression that made me feel like I was stupid. A coach's role is to support and teach -- not to mock or belittle someone who is trying. It also felt like he clearly favored more advanced participants, giving them more attention while others were left feeling invisible. I left the class embarrassed, disappointed, and honestly regretting that I took it. It was a horrible experience. Lifetime should choose instructors who lead with encouragement and professionalism -- not arrogance or favoritism.

I have mixed feelings for this branch. This is a significantly smaller version of lifetime located…read moreconveniently at Wellington station. Lots of parking options. However since it is closer to the city, it's small and has limited amenities. They offer a variety of classes, but their gym space is very crowded. I found their spin and yoga classes comparable to boutique club classes. Their other cardio/lifting classes are better suited for beginners. Their staff is very friendly and they have some tables to work. The only thing outside the small space is that it gets VERY crowded. Which means you're waiting on equipment, the bathrooms get dirty quickly and hard to find locker space. They only have a tiny sauna in the change room which is always full during prime hours. I would not pay a hefty membership fee for just this location.

A few weeks ago I complained yelp style about the epic wait/disorganization (who wants to wait 3…read moremonths to start PT?) of the scheduling staff. This is still true and will likely still be true for me (and you) in the future. But I wanted to update about the quality of treatment because it stands out. I've been getting PT for chronic pain for the past year and a half and have worked with 5 physical therapists at different practices. 4 out of the 5 didn't seem to know what they were doing with me and I got hurt pretty badly. Sometimes more than once if I stuck with that person because I thought that's how PT worked. The only PT who seem to know what they were doing was private pay ($$) so I didn't have the highest hopes for this program. But after my first day of finally starting with a PT/OT regimen I realized they really understand chronic pain. Which is great, because literally everyone I have worked with so far hasn't. I love that they have OT here, no other chronic pain program I have been to or looked into has it, because they teach you how to properly do things so you can protect your body. They also build in biofeedback, stress management, coping, and CBT. Holy comprehensive. So if you've started going to a pain clinic and found that it doesn't seem like the best fit, get a first appointment here (2 months + out) then expect your PT/OT eval 3-4 weeks later, and first appointments 2 weeks later. If they recommend the weekly group program the wait may be longer. Stick with your crappy pain clinic until you can finally get in here and I think you'll be glad you put up with waiting like I did.
