This is by far one of the nicest gyms that our family has been to and we've been to at least a…read moredozen. It's massive inside and they have a large variety of bouldering for any level. The staff there is incredible. They're all so nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend this gym!

Came in for the first time to see if I wanted a membership here. Brandon was very nice and helpful…read moreand gave me a tour. Another female employee came up unprompted and decided to mansplain climbing to us and told me I was not allowed to ask my friends for a spot while bouldering. Just coming back after recovering from ACL and meniscus reconstruction and felt I might land awkwardly on my bad leg. Still not sure why it was not allowed for them to make sure I landed straight down vs sideways on one leg (exact situation that tore my ACL). Regardless, not worth getting a membership somewhere with an employee like that.

I've visited a few times, and although it's one of the smaller Central Rock locations in Boston,…read morethere are still enough climbs to spend several hours here. I appreciate I get to really hone in on each problem rather than trying so many climbs only once or twice at a larger gym. The staff are very nice, and the facilities are clean. Since they've switched to communal chalk bags which get moved around a lot rather than the giant containers, I've been bringing my own chalk.

Great gym, restroom needs work, but the people here are friendly and the climbs are greatread more

Great low key + good vibe facility…read more I've been climbing here for two months now. Ngan was my top rope instructor and she was excellent, very thorough and made me confident for my first couple weeks of climbing. I really enjoy the atmosphere, absolutely zero pretentiousness & a really welcoming place. Huge compared to a lot of the other gyms in Boston and a great value for the monthly membership.

Perfect park tucked away under the Zakim bridge and by Education First. This multi-use park is…read moregreat for bikers, walkers, runners, a playground for families, a skatepark, to come picnic, or to walk to Bunker Hill in Charlestown underneath the bridge. You see TD garden across the river and a nice shot of the bridge. It's quite peaceful and a nice hideaway from the city while still being in it. There is parking but limited, and you pay during the day.

North Point Park is another decent park for photographing the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial…read moreBridge. The park is not big, but well maintained for walking and jogging. Due to the limited parking spots nearby, it may not be a favorable place for tourists. It is popular with residents nearby, which gives a quiet place for recreation. The park is connected with Paul Revere Park by walkways. Visitors can take pictures from both sides of the Zakim Bridge. The lights along with the walkway are usually on in the evenings. If the metered parking spaces are occupied, some additional spaces are available on the north side of the building of the Education First (EF). Enjoy this neat and quite place for summer.

I tried one of their free community hot yoga classes. It was my first time doing hot yoga, and they…read morehappened to have a substitute instructor, Ben, who teaches the advanced classes. So it was quite a tough class and a full body work out, and I sweated the Charles River. It was motivating and fun to work out with a crowd though, and there were people of all levels and plenty of modifications and options for the poses. I thought the technology was cool in that the humidity could be controlled, and there was a constant refreshing eucalyptus aroma in the air. Since it was my first time visiting, they offered for me to borrow a towel and mat for free. The facility was very clean, and everyone was so friendly!

CorePower Yoga... you've got me hooked on your yoga sculpt classes!…read moreI have gone to four yoga sculpt classes in a row this week and am obsessed! I did have the chance to try their C2 class, which is also heated, however, did not leave as satisfied as I do after Yoga Sculpt class haha. Not because the class wasn't good, I just prefer more movement and sculpt has given me exactly that! Only thing is, this location seems to be quite busy & does get extremely packed... especially on weekends, which I understand. You will only have about an inch of space from the person to your left, the person to your right, and the people in front & behind you. They have mats and towels available to rent, though I do suggest bringing your own if possible! Some of the mats smell and it's questionable if they actually do give the mats a cleaning. To be honest, I'm most obsessed with the merch selection they offer here. I mean, I'm obsessed with the merch at most group fitness businesses I visit haha, truly a sucker for matching sets and anything pink! Can purchase yoga mats here, as well, like Manduka, Liforme, etc. Parking: free 90 min lot in the back for Ink Block parking.

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.

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.
