Did a company group training "Train" class with Eli at EverybodyFights Seaport and honestly... I'm…read moreannoyed at how much I liked it. Eli ran a great session: high energy, well-paced, and somehow got a bunch of coworkers to sweat together without it feeling like a corporate trust fall. Full transparency: I'm usually not a fan of classes that force you to pair up with other people (mostly because I'm lazy and prefer to suffer silently on my own), but I have to admit the partner format actually works. It's just enough accountability to keep you moving, without being overly "team-building retreat" about it. After class I took a quick lap around the facility. It's clean, well-maintained, and doesn't have that sad gym smell. Tons of class options, and now I'm very tempted by the heated yoga and the medspa... because if I'm going to work out, I'd like to be rewarded immediately afterward like a Kardashian. Everyone working there was genuinely nice and welcoming. Would absolutely take Eli's class again, and would recommend it if you want a great workout, a fun time with coworkers, or friends and the mild panic of realizing you're capable of more than you thought.

Stacey has taught me so much of what I know about diet and exercise. I spent so many years as a…read moreperson that felt stuck in a body that NEEDED to be exercised and NEEDED to be restricted to a certain diet in order for it to work and look the way I wanted it to. It made every workout and every meal into a high stakes situation, and I found myself yoyoing between a "nice" and a "gross" body, and beating myself up over every food and exercise-related decision I made. I couldn't make any of my strategies stick, because they ultimately placed too much stress and too much of a burden on myself to be sustainable. I started to work with Stacey with this mindset. Over time, she taught me how to make fitness and healthy eating part of my routine without letting it take over every fiber of my being and also how to have a healthier mindset when it comes to my body. On top of this healthier mindset and approach, I was able to achieve the progress and results I wanted! Her "progress not perfection" approach has changed how I approach my weight, exercise, and diet. One of the biggest things that I've gained through my time with Stacey is the ability to accept that not every bit of this fitness/healthy eating journey will be perfect, but you can always find meaningful signs of progress to keep you feeling strong. On top of all of this, she is an amazing person and trainer. She is so dedicated to her clients and works so hard to help us achieve our goals in a healthy way, and never makes you feel bad about your real life getting in the way. She is always understanding, but blunt and honest about what you need to do to get where you want to be and will always tell you the truth. She makes sure you not only focus on your workouts, but also that you focus on good recovery. Finally, you'll never leave one of her workouts (whether in the small group or larger class setting) wanting more. I can confidently say that working with Stacey is the best thing I've ever done as part of this huge, endless journey that is fitness, bar none.

I knew I hit rock bottom when I didn't go home for Christmas that year and spent it alone. I felt so guilty for being "depressed". I had a bunch of highs and low in 2015 but have been able to finally accept help personally & professionally. I came to Stacey as I was binge eating during my depression and focused on the 15lbs I had gained. My relationship with Stacey isn't about fitness really, it's about being able to be myself and not having to put on a mask. I was always timid about being me, but she has inspired me to be proud of who I am. I am so very thankful to have you in my life. You really mentally & physically helped me gain my life back!

A new gym that opened up in Southie. There's currently no sign outside the building (hopefully…read morethere will be soon), but Iona was right outside the entrance and led us up to the little room. It's slightly confusing to get up to the little space that they have, but there are small signs inside the building along the stairways and hallways. The space itself it probably the size of a large bedroom and is half wood floor and half hard grippy mat material. They have a bunch of weights, rings, ropes, and a hang bar. They do have a small water bubbler next to the shoe racks with a small bench to put your belongings. I took a movement class, which was interesting and time seemed to pass fairly quickly. I signed a quick waiver and Iona promptly started the class with demonstrating some exercises across the floor. Iona explained the class puts an unconventional spin on the normal exercises you would generally do in a typical workout (squats, lunges, planks etc). This class allows you to move your body in different ways that we don't typically move in. All the exercises built off one another with varying difficulties depending on your level of mobility. Iona walked around to check in with everyone during the exercises. We also played a partner tennis ball game that put all the aspects of mobility together that definitely helps with eye-hand coordination. The class ended with "the shake", which you close your eyes and move your shoulders up and down for a solid 5 minutes. It was a really weird way to end the class and I'm not really sure what the purpose for it was. Besides the movement class, they also offer a mobility class, handstands, and open gym (early in the morning and late afternoons/evenings). They also offer personal 1:1 training for people to come in and train during open gym. Your first class is $10 with the code "bodyofwork" while your first month is $99 to take as many classes as you'd like. They also offer a 5 class pack and a monthly membership. If you live in the area and are looking for something different, then I'd give it a try.

I take the train into the city to North Station, get a workout in, and then walk to my office. I appreciate not having to commute well out of my way for the gym and this is one of the best parts of my day. The staff is very nice and the gym is clean and well kept. There are a ton of dumbbells and cardio machines. The weight lifting machines aren't as plentiful, but you're still able to get some reps in, especially if you go early in the AM (I'm usually there before 7). The locker rooms are good and spacious enough -- I've never had to wait for a shower and there is always room to get ready. Thanks to Republic for helping me stay consistent with my fitness! PS - the check-in process is also very smooth and easy, you just sign in through a Apple wallet badge and you're in!
