I was hesitant about writing this review, but I think it's important to share an honest experience…read more Lighting: The lighting throughout the gym is very harsh--extremely white--and combined with the white walls, it creates an uncomfortable environment. Lighting in a gym isn't just aesthetic; it directly affects safety, performance, mood, and the overall workout experience. Equipment Condition: A significant amount of the cardio equipment is not functional. It's frustrating to see equipment moved from the old location to the new one without being properly repaired. Many machines are in poor condition and need maintenance or adjustment. TVs: All the TVs display the same content, which feels repetitive and uninspired. It would be a big improvement to include a variety of options like music videos, workout-related YouTube channels, educational fitness content, or even news. Music: The music selection is consistently heavy metal, which may not appeal to everyone and can be demotivating for many members. Music plays a major role in workouts--it boosts performance, increases motivation, reduces perceived effort, and helps maintain focus. A mix of genres like EDM, house, pop, and remixes (typically in the 120-140 BPM range) would create a more inclusive and energizing atmosphere. Warm-Up / Stretching Area: The stretching area is too small and cluttered with unnecessary equipment. It would benefit from better organization and the addition of useful items like resistance bands. The current layout negatively impacts the overall experience. Safety Concerns: The hallways leading to the bathrooms are overcrowded with equipment and tools, making the space feel unsafe. In the event of an emergency evacuation, this could become a serious issue and would likely be flagged during a safety inspection. Functional Trainers: Many of the cable machines are in poor condition and need maintenance. Some have uneven cable resistance or mismatched thickness between sides, which directly affects workout performance and balance. Bathrooms: Basic supplies like paper towels are often missing. Additionally, signage encouraging proper use (e.g., not disposing of gum or trash in urinals) would help maintain cleanliness. Water Access: There should be a proper water dispenser for filling bottles. Relying only on water fountains is not practical for members during workouts and doesn't meet basic expectations for convenience. Front Desk Staff: The front desk staff could significantly improve their attitude. They are often not welcoming, which sets a negative tone from the moment you walk in. As the face of the gym, they should create a friendly and professional first impression for members. Overall: The gym has lost the strong bodybuilding atmosphere that made the previous location stand out. Right now, the experience doesn't match expectations. I would recommend management visit facilities like Mass Underground or Olympus Gym for inspiration on layout, equipment quality, and overall environment. At this point, I'm seriously considering canceling my membership

It gets very crowded here; most of the people who work out here tend to be high schoolers and college students. It's hard to find an area in the gym that isn't already occupied by others. They have plenty of machines though available to use and pretty big gym. Lots of parking available, as well, and staff is nice & helpful for the most part. Personal training is offered here and fitness classes. I think that even though the price of their memberships have doubled, getting a membership here is still a good bargain. Their VIP membership allows access to multiple of their locations, bring a guest everyday for free, unlimited cycle classes + studio, sauna, + more perks... all for $34.99/month.

Beware of security policies at this location…read more I had an unfortunate incident this weekend (4/9.2023) in Braintree, MA. I was at the gym from 9.45 until 11. I got back to my locker and it had been broken into. The locker I had chosen had no lock on it and was empty when I put my things in and locked it. The person at the counter said that several people complained about locks being placed on their lockers. The staff seemingly gave that person a lock cutter. No male employees was around so no one verified the situation before or after the locks were cut. No note was left on my locker door explaining what happened. I don't believe they took the name of the person either. All around this was badly managed and communicated. This is not a safe situation in my mind, and clearly they do not have a security policy in place.

I started here almost a month ago. I have been a member of various gyms over the years, have done…read moreboot camp, have had a personal trainer. But this time around, ,I was really looking for something different. My sister in law had done this program at another location and had great results. I talked to her beforehand, so I knew the pricing and how the program worked before I made my initial appointment. I can honestly say that this is one of the best places I've worked out. Is it huge? No. Does it have all the amenities of a big gym? No. But to be honest, what I needed was someone to push me a little harder, get me on the right track and hold me accountable. And I needed to feel comfortable. I get all of the above at GISFW in Braintree. After reading reviews on other locations (which I looked at before I joined) I realize that your experience can really vary depending on the staff. Now that I'm a member, I can say that the staff is probably 75% of the reason why I'm happy here. They make me feel comfortable, they know me by name, and they push me, which is what I needed. Nikki, Gina and Tomaso are all really good trainers. And Maria (who owns it) is always smiling and helpful. You know she cares about her clients. Can I do this type of program on my own (30 min strength/30 min. cardio) and follow the nutrition guidelines they gave me? Sure. But I honestly know that it wouldn't be nearly as effective and I wouldn't stick with it so consistently unless I was here. The location is convenient for me. Parking can get a little tight on street but there is a municipal parking lot just down the street. Overall, I can say that I have no regrets!

Crunch Fitness-Braintree is a nice option to consider if you're looking for an affordable gym with…read morefree weight squat racks! Keep in mind that not all Crunch Fitnesses are created equal and offer membership at different start prices/month. For example, this location is going to be cheaper than going to other locations in the area, especially the newer ones like the Dorchester location that was previously a BSC gym. I do like this gym, though! Lots of machines but I will say the equipment is getting old & worn. One of my favorite machines that they offer is the hip thrust machine. It's not the exact one that I really like, as the one that they have uses a belt buckle, however, love that they even offer this machine for use. This and the free weight squat racks are definitely some things to keep in mind if you are making a decision of either here or a Planet Fitness, since they are priced similarly for memberships. I noticed that this gym gets very busy and PACKED. Though, this is inevitable when choosing a more affordable gym option as it's always incredibly packed, just have to figure out their non-peak hours if you like quiet gym space.

There was an iPad/tablet set up by the front desk where I was able to check myself in. I was not sure where the class was located but staff was very helpful and walked me downstairs to the spin class. Their upstairs/main level seemed to be where all the machines are and yoga/pilates classes. The gym was actually a lot bigger than I thought. Downstairs was where spin classes are held and they had a women's locker room down there as well. The locker room was clean, had showers, hairdryers, etc. This was the first spin class I have taken that was not through SoulCycle and the bikes were a little different but similar enough that I was able to figure it out. Overall, not a bad class. I'm used to a bit more choreography on the handle bars but still a nice class! I would totally switch to this gym if only they were open a little later because I do enjoy working out at night sometimes. Parking is a little tricky in this area. If there's not a spot on the main street (Granite), I would check on the side of Bruegger's Bagels or on Adams St.

I'm a male in my 40's whom Dr offices and hospitals make me extremely nervous and uncomfortable…read more I've never posted an on-line review of anything or anyone but felt compelled to do so after changing my PCP to Dr. Kenny. I had been happy with my former PCP whom had cared for me for the past 20 yrs. Over the past few years I've needed more than the usual yearly physical. As I needed more care and answers I felt that I was getting less and less of what I needed from a PCP. I felt as though I was more of a burden and an annoyance than a patient that was just looking for answers and explanations. I needed a change...for my health and happiness. I decided to change over to Dr. Kenny after meeting & speaking with him. We're blessed to have great Dr's in the Boston area that are smart, caring and knowledgeable. What made Dr. Kenny stand out to me was his combination of these characteristics and his ability to put me at ease and actually listen to my concerns and fears while correctly diagnosing me. I'm constantly impressed with his vast knowledge and approach to practicing medicine. I wish I had met Dr. Kenny years ago!

They split the class into three groups or into two depending on the class, with the 3G class rotates from row machine to floor to treadmill & 2G class alternating between floor + row & treadmill. Personally I enjoy 3G classes because less treadmill time (I loathe running). The instructors are super kind and helpful. My first class, I came in a little early before class started and they went through all of the stations with me, showing me what would be done in class that day. I like going to classes like Orangetheory because it gets me to actually run, since normally I am totally fine with skipping cardio even though I would like to incorporate more cardio in my workouts.
