Always a good mix of people playing, whether you're a beginner or more experienced. There's plenty of equipment and machines available. Everything is clean and new since they opened late 2023. Wish they had a sauna though. The group classes can get pretty full, but the best part is you don't need to sign up--just show up! I tried the Pilates class and appreciated that they provide mats, bands, and weights for anyone who doesn't bring their own. Super convenient. And there's plenty of parking and the staff is helpful.

Minuses: People sitting on their phones, unwilling to share equipment or let others work in. Afternoons the gym is full of kids from adjacent private school who bring a surly, low-energy and non-serious vibe that detracts from a good workout. Complaints to staff are useless, as they don't think they can do anything short of putting up signs - that get ignored. It really could be a great gym otherwise.

I joined this Y for two main reasons: 1) get a cardiac workout on their ellipticals and do some…read moreweights 2) proximity to where I live. I found this Y to be ideal for the following reasons: a) clean - I noticed frequent wipe down of equipment by staff, b) all equipment were well-maintained and functional, c) equipment always available when I needed them - I usually went during non-peak hours, d) adequate parking, e) friendly staff, f) small but clean mens' locker room, f) affordable monthly rates. They seemed to have hourly aerobic/zumba classes, which appear to be well-populated, although I didn't take any. Membership also allows access to their smaller Great Plain Ave facility that has an indoor pool. For full disclosure, I took a few months off as I was concerned with they dod not have a mandatory mask policy. I reached out to their management, and received a prompt response in the form of a phone call. They were sympathetic to my concerns, and simply following the CoVid guidance from the town of Needham. In summary, this a hidden gem/gym in Needham. If you are not a major league body builder, this is a great place for a workout

Where to start. There is only one weight bench and only one squat rack. If you just need cardio…read morethis is fine. But you will go weeks without seeing anybody under 50. But the clientele won't hesitate to steal your bench or hassle you to work in their meager 5-lb set. In my three years as a member there I only saw one or two people of color, which I don't fault them for but just kind of makes me sad for Needham in general... a gym for a bedroom community of atrophied pushy white retirees. It maybe worth investing in a machine where people can wash their gym jeans shorts, because it is the ex officio gym attire in these parts. On that note, enforcing a gym-appropriate dress code must be a constant challenge for management-- I would support discouraging overly tight clothing to keep that terrible privilege out of the wrong hands. Trust me, you will too. Anyway. I joined another gym so I could feel a little younger.

I appreciate how the preplanned and digital workouts take all the guess work and so many excuses out of my workouts. I just show up and do what the program says.

Another update (#4!) is in order, on changes from 1/1/2017. You can bore yourself with the details of the other reviews below from the beginning. - Rejoice! They added more stools and step ladders for shorties like me. - More strength training machines: now 7 total! - Still the same # of cardio machines (again tricky for the transition if you want to do the full circuit and it's a full house, but this isn't where the real "value" your gym membership fee goes anyway) - All treadmills have upgraded to the smart screen. - There are some hardware issues though with heavy volume usage (regular wear and tear). The first elliptical metal button under the rubber is partially exposed for "reset" so I usually try to avoid that one... - Many more "add-on" offerings (free and additional cost), "Monthly Finishers", Challenges, Local Business Partnerships, Products (MyZone & Protein supplements), Running Clinics, Holiday Hold 'Em Accountability Group (member suggestion) etc... - They are fairly flexible and open to helping the members. For Black Friday they ran a special called "Orange Friday" where you can purchase 12 months of gym membership for an upfront fee equal to 10 months at once (variable based on when you joined and initial rate). So for me it would have been $990 and save $198. There were some technical glitches with the sign up form so I missed out 2x when it was fixed. However, the owner, Paul reached out to me directly and still honored the promotion even though it meant having to extend it to more than just the usual first 10 members! All of my friends still balk at the monthly fee when I tell them the lack of other amenities (shower, pool, group fitness classes included with cost these are an extra $12+ per session depending on what). To be honest it's not very clear which classes are free, free with donation or cost an amount in the emails so I've never done any of the group fitness ones yet. I suppose value is subjective. It has changed my perspective that exercise is one of the most miserable activities to incorporating it as an essential part of my routine. I'll be honest I don't think I've ever bought in "mentally" to commit to seriously changing my lifestyle (diet choices long term) in tandem with the physical exercise. So I'm sure that is detracting from my total body transformation. I don't want to make "excuses"; but I've also had some personal health issues dealing with pancreatitis and graves disease resulting in 2 medical leaves ($10/month fee rather than full price to keep your online account active) for a few months and now most recently hypothyroid. When I came back the second time, there were some fumbles in terms of communication with the gym billing and system administrator forgetting manually release the "hold" on my account. I was extremely peeved that it seemingly uploaded my data, but none of it was showing up on my online account. Even though my credit card was charged and the transaction cleared WEEKS ago. So it was like I was doing the same exercise repeatedly 3x! I followed up several times via email and eventually had to resort to calling the gym to have them make some other calls to the back office before it was resolved. Anyway, aside from that major annoyance, it has been mostly smooth sailing. You can see that my progress is NOT linear and it's unique for each member. There were a few instances where I had to seemingly (re)start from square one, but hey I still keep coming back. Halfway to blue lanyard and 37% to becoming a Koko millionaire...!

A couple of years ago, while working in the area, my manager talked to me about spinning; he was a…read morefan and having spoken to him about my fitness goals, he thought that it would be a good idea. I accepted and off we went to Gstarfit. It was only a short ride from the office an after parking, we walked in and I got to meet the owner/founder Gregg. Gregg is unlike anyone I've met in the fitness profession. He comes off as a hard ass but is, in fact just intense. And nice. After a short chat with him about his gym and how they operate, I could immediately tell that he knew his stuff and had quite a bit of experience in the field. He essentially created Gstarfit around his stylish vision of what a gym should and could be like. Gone are the neon-lit, depression concrete walls that you find everyone and instead you'll find a lot of wood in the decor, some mirrors and some pretty stylish furniture. It gives the whole place a very original look unlike anything I've seen in gyms. And while the place isn't huge, it definitely does the job. It has multiple room including one that is dedicated to spinning and which features about twenty or so bikes. Decor aside, the gym itself is clean and there's all kinds of equipment available for anyone looking to do either cardio or lifting. Pretty standard and nothing out of the ordinary there. They also offer classes, anywhere from 1 to 6. It varies depending on the day of the week and the schedule is quite inconsistant. They only offer one class on Tuesdays somehow, but six on Mondays? Must be a staffing thing. Speaking of which, they have trainers available for private instructing if necessary. Last but not least is their rates, which vary from $50 (students) to $150 per month for the a-list tier which gives you the right to reserve a bike for spin class. While more expensive than your average gym... well... this isn't your average gym. It is a lot more intimate and they give you a lot more personal attention there. I would have totally remained as a member there had I not changed jobs - honestly, if you can afford it, you should definitely check it out, especially if you work or live in the area, or happen to drive on 95/128 near Dedham/Needham/Waltham/Newton.
