I have been doing group exercise classes for 12 years now - everywhere from downtown Boston,…read moreDallas, Denver, Austin....though Reck is a small gym in Beverly it's packed with the best equipment and some pretty awesome instructors. The classes I have taken (both in person and online) are right up there with the big, well known studios like Barry's BC, Orange Theory and Equinox. Of course, every instructor and every gym have their own style, but these instructors always set you up for a killer workout, you just have to put in the work. What sets Reck above the rest is the ownership. Find a gym where the owners know every member and take the time to personally respond to any inquiry or question within a few hours. These days, with so many options out there, quality and service is imperative. I can assure you, you will find both here!

Came here for a free hour long fitness class for their grand opening, so I can really only judge on…read morefirst impressions. For the Bootcamp class, they put us in groups of 4 to rotate around stations. 2 in the group would do the primary exercise while the other 2 would do a secondary exercise. It was a setup I hadn't come across before and it seemed like an excellent combination of individual working out with a sense of camaraderie. It was a pretty challenging class and they had a lot of machines I'd never used before. I do wish the class was a little bit more strength focused because it was very cardio heavy. They do have an upstairs open gym where you can work out, and you can work out downstairs if they have no classes going on. However I do think it's a pretty small gym for the monthly fee of $129. But bonus points for the huge adorable dog who hangs around there! Summarizing, the instructors and variety of machines as well as the convenient location are great but it seems quite pricey for what it is.

There's a reason Lift Positive won Best Personal Training for 2020!…read more Rob, the owner, is absolutely fantastic. He really takes the time to get to know you, and creates a personalized training plan to catapult you toward your goals. As an engineer, I love how the system is structured such that your workout is quantifiable and it's easy to track progress. As a busy working human, I really feel like I'm maximizing my time and getting the best workout each hour-long session. I really like the concept of semi-personal training because let's be honest, you don't really need someone staring at you watching you do reps for 3600 seconds straight. Having a few other people there (up to 4 total per session) helps build a sense of community while still providing the attention and guidance you need. As someone who had been on and off the workout train for a bit, I've dealt with gymtimidation at a lot of other gyms, but not this one. The name rings true as this is definitely the most positive and friendly gym environment I've been in! I've never once felt judged here, not even for my weird taste in music. What I value about this personal training experience is that Rob is so encouraging, he makes you want to do better for yourself. I've hit a lot of personal records here, and I've lifted weights that I didn't think I could. At the same time, he will never make you do something that you're not comfortable with. If ever I feel like an exercise wasn't working my body quite right, Rob gives me pointers as to how to adjust the exercise to my body. He's also full of nutrition tips--a one-stop shop for holistic life advice! After just a couple weeks I feel much stronger than when I first started, and I'm equipped with new knowledge and exercises. Maybe most importantly, this experience gives me a new sense of (and appreciation for) discipline which is sure to help me maintain my forward momentum and reach my goals. Also, Rob has a dog named Rufus who hangs around sometimes and is super affectionate and fun. I probably should have just led with that.

When I walk into most gyms, I immediately become overwhelmed and feel generally, pretty out of…read moreplace. At Lift Positive Fitness I actually feel comfortable and cared about. There is a community here that I didn't know was possible to have at a gym. This place has strength training, weights, fitness classes, and some semi-private personal training. I have been super impressed with the owner, Rob. I have followed him here, after following him through multiple places he has worked at before opening up this place. Over the past 7 years, Rob has been the most dedicated trainer and human being I have ever met. From making me run with the treadmill OFF for 30sec intervals, to more Farmer's Walks than I thought were humanly possible, to getting me to the point where I could do more pull-ups than half the guys that walked by me(and yes, they were obviously unassisted). He made me realize that I was strong, and powerful, and he actually kept me motivated. I have completely fallen off my game the past 3 years, and I cannot wait to get back at it. When he opened this joint up-I RAN my butt in there...and you should too. I have limitations at the moment due to some spine stuff, but Rob is going to work with me as soon as I get restrictions from my PT's and doctors. He will meet you where you are at. If you want to go to a subpar gym and give yourself a pat on the back for going on the treadmill for 30min-be my guest-I've been that chick and it doesn't feel good. If you want to feel like you just kicked a**, then check this place out. I ASSURE YOU- you will not be disappointed.
