I am doing the 99 bucks for 1 month unlimited my ass is so sore. The teachers here are so great- they care and actually want to help people. No loud music (#Barrys much?), no annoying show over how rich you are (like Exhale), and it's just about work + training + getting it done in 1 hour so you can move the F on with your day. I've only been for the first week but probably will join. I am pretty impressed and wish I had known about this years ago. Highly suggest for anyone who can't afford an Equinox Trainer, but wants the personal attention of small, group training at a convenient spot in the heart of the South End. ~tamara

As an athlete at JET I have regularly done personal training, participated in group training, and have reaped the benefits of having my InBody scans and recovery sessions to show up stronger and better, both in the gym and in my personal life. I have had the pleasure of training with almost every trainer in both the South End and Roxbury locations. Each trainer and experience has provided me with both physical and personal gains I simply could never put a price on. From the moment I walked in and had my assessment done, I was matched with a trainer who could adhere to my personal fitness goals. What I didn't realize is that I would have a community of trainers rooting for me, even if they weren't personally training me that day. The environment is contagiously energetic, and the facilities are top of the line. The equipment at your fingertips is only beneficial if you have personalized guidance on how to use it. JET trainers show up for you, and provide a safe and effective plan to maximize your results. Most consistently I have trained with the owner of the space, Geoff, whose drive for excellence drips into every corner of the business. He is constantly coming up with new ways to stay on top of the competitive training space, while remaining an attentive and humble leader. He exemplifies the true meaning of "Coach". He has tailored my fitness experience as a former athlete, prepared me for the Boston Marathon, and has made me a stronger, more confident individual. In the two years I have trained, my workouts have challenged me, have never felt stale or repetitive, and have given me noticeable results (the kind people compliment you out loud on). If you are at all debating on signing on, I can assure you that when you invest in JET they will invest right back into you.

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.

I was…read moretruly excited to experience the personal attention since they cap their classes at 10 and my crossfit home gym does not have a cap. Conveniently located near the hotel, it was short walk and easy to find. The gym is a the typical box, gritty and the look of a hard workout is about to happen here. I was the first to arrive and immediately greeted by coach Eric. He quickly checked me in and I made them aware of needing modifications on certain movements. He gave me some stretches I can use. The class was composed of warm up/agility, stretching, strength training and finally the WOD. The coach did not assume I knew the movements which I appreciated and he showed us proper form for every movement. We used agility hurdles to warm up with burpee penalty for knocking down the hurdles, which is good practice in discipline. I felt warmed up after the hurdles having to fulfill burpee penalties twice. Then we used foam roller, kettle bell and racquet ball to warm up and shoulder mobility. We spent a good 20 minutes for warm up and mobility which is helpful and much needed. Strength training was another 20 minutes of push press. The coach was helpful in making sure our form was correct and efficient. I felt more accomplished in getting the form right and he made sure of that. Finally, our WOD was a challenging chipper with 3 movements at high reps. It was daunting at first and I was gassed but I got through it with the coach's encouragement. The coach was motivating without being militant. It is obvious the gym does well in providing top notch instuction. Limiting their class size provides the individualized attention needed to avoid poor form and injuries. CFF is great for any fitness level and makes crossfit an attainable activity for anyone.

The pass lets you try 30 classes at participating gyms in the area. So Women's Fitness was my first try! The location was convenient - heart of downtown Boston off the red line (Downtown Crossing stop). The facility is in the basement of a building but very clean and modern. The staff was very friendly and helpful - showing me how to use a locker and where all the equipment was. The Tabata class itself was fantastic - I had never done it before but it was TOUGH. A great 45 minute, high intensity cardio and weight-training workout. Angela, the instructor, was very encouraging and motivating. Can't wait to come back and try another class (or maybe another awesome Tabata class again!).

My trainer was Melanie, and I like to tell people that she wasn't only my trainer, but also my spiritual guide. She went above and beyond to make sure that I was healthy physically, but also mentally, and that did a lot for my confidence. I enjoyed the first 10 sessions with her so much that I signed up for 12 more. I also took a Strong by Zumba class and it didn't have anything to do with Zumba, but I loved it all the same. This is a fantastic gym that is well equipped and well-priced for a place in downtown Boston.

Started by three friends from the Fulton area, Next Level Fitness has literally changed lives! With classes at 5 AM and 6 AM on weekdays, next level offers classes to meet everyone's schedule. Whether it is for $5 a class or for a monthly fee, Next Level has weigh-ins, personal coaching and calorie awareness to help get gains for its clients. Still another perk of the monthly rate is to be able to do workouts at your leisure because the instructor is streamed and recorded to not ever miss a day for home use. Inside a spacious pole barn where socially distanced grids are set up and a plethora of anti-bacterial hand sanitizers, masks and other supplies are readily available. Located at 12 Harold Drive off of Route 3 between Hannibal and Fulton, this is a place where if you have the will, they will show you the way! Great job Ashley, Erin and Hollie! You are changing lives by offering a comfortable place to make gains no matter where you are, you can still go far!!!!

You will get an okay to good work out, depending on the day and trainer. The classes I paid for…read morewere the small group training classes. This means that there are 3 people per class. So you do get a personal trainer experience, however the workouts are not consistently good. Also, when I attended this gym there were times that the trainers were late. One time the trainer was 15 minutes late because he had car issues. I understand that things happen, but when you are paying 50 dollars for a 45 min class...15 min is worth more than a couple of bucks. He did not even mention a reimbursement or tried to make up the 15 minutes we lost. Lastly, if you decide to go to this gym, please read the fine print and check your credit card statement. I noticed they charged me a 30 dollar enrollment fee that was not mentioned anywhere in the contract. I have asked the owner to reimburse me since October and he still has not. Just a heads up if you decide to go to this gym.
