It's been a loooong…read moretime since my high school Track days, and trying to maintain a workout routine between kids and work was just not going to happen. I've lost track of the number of times I've said, "this is the time I'm going to stick with working out." I started going to Fitness Together last year and it's been exactly what I needed. No crowded gyms or waiting for machines. Expert trainers who handle all the thinking (and racking weights!) for me. Sessions on my calendar that keep me accountable. The trainers plan the workouts, track my progress, and actually make sure my form isn't awful. It's amazing how much easier it is to stick to a workout routine when all you have to do is show up and focus on picking heavy things up and putting them down. It's been the only way I've actually stayed consistent. If you've got fitness goals but zero time to waste, definitely check them out. Super glad I found this place.

The only reason why I had to turn it away is because the few things that I like to do with the gym, they do not offer. I would still recommend. The price is a little bit pricier than the competition, and they do charge an extra $25 to use the pool that you also have to make reservations for. They do offer classes and personal trainer services. I didn't get the cost, but I can't imagine it being more than competitors. Thank Brian , good job!!!

I would advise you to avoid peak hours (between 5-7 pm) to be able to use the machines and weights you need. In my experience, it's better to come early at 5:30 am. There's a lot of morning birds like me but I usually can use the things I need immediately or with a minimal wait.

Another pretty OK OTF location. This one is a little small on the floor side. I took class today…read moreand super appreciated that they had put the benches away since they weren't used in class. We had a ton of space with a 3/4 full floor crew and it took me the whole class to figure out why! I've popped in here when my studio's been closed for a repair or they had a class that fit my schedule better (or I wanted to shop at Sophia's Greek Pantry after...yummm) and found the instructors to be fine and friendly. Got some positive feedback during my strength workout. The members seem kind of clichey (lots of suburban moms?) and it felt like half the class immediately started talking and left before the stretching block once class ended, which I found kind of yucky. The front desk assigns you a spot at check-in, which is different from most other studios I frequent, where you can pick the station number you start on. Not a big deal, but in a S50 class I know I'll be going to the heavy weight rack so I tend to have preferred starting stations. But, I figured maybe they had specific reasons for spacing people out or something. TLDR is all OTF locations teach the same classes on the same day, so if you don't like the workout at one location, you won't like it at another. I choose my studios based on location, coaches, and, at times, amenities. I showered at this one once and it was fine. Parking around back is free, also. And I love OTF in general and go nearly every day.

The gym, instructors, and classes are all great! However, one caveat to keep in mind if you're a…read morenew customer is that you'll need to be prepared to pay for at least 2 months when you first sign up, whether you like it or not. When I signed up, I had to pay for the first month, of course. But after two weeks (which I enjoyed!), I decided to change my fitness goals and join a lifting gym with better hours and more equipment. So I asked to cancel my membership, but was told I'd have to pay for another month because they have a 30-day cancellation policy. So I ended up having to pay another $126 for a second month that I never used. Just be aware of this policy if you're not 100% sure you plan on continuing after the first 30 days. Otherwise, enjoy the classes!!

After sending an email, I received a quick reply from Justin who got me scheduled two days later and I went in early on Sunday morning to meet with Caitlin.

Because…read moreour caloric intake upticked it was essential to find a gym for us to work off all those extra drinks and desserts. The nearest gym to our temporary residence was the Planet Fitness in Waltham and we could not have been more pleased. We want to thank the manager, Chan, and his staff for making us feel welcome and accomodating us for a short period membership. The Planet Fitness offers a full suite of both cardio and strength equipment that addresses all of workout requirements. And there is ample duplication to enable a large number of patrons to burn off excess calories, stress, and energy. This gym is well maintained and the staff was noticeably making rounds to ensure proper functioning and cleanliness. When repairs to equipment were needed it was usually accomplished within 24 hours. The gym hours are great and meshed nicely with our hectic schedule. Weekday hours are from 5:00 am until 10:00 pm which ensured we could get in a daily workout. The patrons here are very friendly and and we enjoyed the social dimensions of being in the gym. We also noted that everyone is meticulous about cleaning the equipment after completing a set. Great facility with a wide variety of equipment and an attentive staff and genial patrons made for an exceptional experience. We want to thank Chan and his team for making Planet Fitness our travel gym in Boston!

I must have driven by BodyBurn about a billion times before finally giving it a try. I remember…read moreseeing that it was a personal training gym for a while and then suddenly it looked like a club from the outside. A friend of mine became a fan and convinced me to give it a try too. One class and I was hooked! The BodyBurn 1.0 class utilizes motorless cardio machines and strength sets to get you sweaty and basically just want to lay down and die at the end of the class. The cardio machines range from your basic bike and row machine to the coolest climbing wall and ski erg. If you are a new to fitness and this sounds daunting, don't worry. You don't have to be an Olympic athlete to be able to do this stuff. If you are super fit and want a challenge, you can get that here too. There are ways to tailor it to make it a great workout for whatever level you your fitness level. And the best part? The instructors don't make you feel like a big ol' baby when you get nervous on the climbing wall and decide to take it to climb up it rather than run up it like the dude (my husband) that was on it before you. As a matter of fact, they are just encouraging (and not in that really annoying way that some group fitness instructors can be). There is also a BodyBurn 2.0 class that focuses less on cardio and more on strength using weights and TRX. I haven't had a chance to take those classes but it is on my To Do list. In addition to a good class they seem to be interested in building a whole community. They are active on Instagram, have unique sections on their app and seem to remember every client's name. The *only* critique I have of this studio is the price/class packages. Drop-in classes are $30 (first class is $15) and they have some X number of class packages and monthly memberships. If you want to go several times a week, you are looking at almost $300/month. I don't know why, but once you get over the $225 range for monthly membership, I can't justify it in the budget. This critique isn't enough for me to give it 4 stars though. I'm sticking with the 5! Note: I've never had any pressure to sign up for a membership. I've taken 2 other people with me and they haven't had any either. (FINALLY a place that gets it!) Go. Sweat. Enjoy!

Good to see that they offer life jackets, noodles, and other floaties. Staff hand out different colored necklaces to kids depending on their swimming level (red dotted = can't swim, red = can swim a bit but can't go to deep end, yellow = can swim to deep end). Overall ok until I saw a floating bandaid in the deep end and clump of hair on the deck. Family locker room is clean. They have soap if you want to rinse. Need to scan pass in order to enter (turnstyle like paying before entering the mbta train). That's good because other locations, everyone can enter without checking IDs or memberships.

I was told there isn't one. No wonder I'm holding my breath every time I go in there. (The staff here are genuinely wonderful and unable to fix this issue because it's above their paygrade.) I was considering upgrading my membership so I could bring my brother. He's asthmatic, and I'm not bringing him into that room. I doubt it's good for anyone to spend more than a few minutes in there. I am not a lawyer or a building inspector, but this was upsetting enough that I called the building inspector and left a message naming the gym and describing what I experienced and what staff told me. Due to price and location I'll keep coming to this gym, but I will no longer be using the locker rooms, and it's infuriating to pay for a full membership when I can't use the full facilities because of inadequate ventilation. When I posted this review on Google Reviews, I got a reply from the owner that just invited me to reach out to staff with any concerns. Talk about a cookie-cutter, tone-deaf reply. I already did reach out to your staff when I alerted them to the issue. You're now aware (let's be real, you already were aware) that there's not proper ventilation in the men's locker room. If you resolve the issue, I'll update my review, but to suggest that solving this issue requires me alerting more of your staff to the fact that there's not proper ventilation in the men's locker room is absurd.

I appreciated the facilities, and the way that the classes were able to flex when the pandemic struck. I gained strength and flexibility, and my health overall improved. However... and it's a *big* however... something odd happened, twice. An instructor mysteriously disappeared, without warning or explanation. I don't recall if I was directed toward a different class or not; I think the class simply dissolved. Around 8-ish months later, it happened again with a different instructor. This time, I recall clearly that a new instructor was quickly "given" the class, but she seemed visibly shaken by her weird, sudden introduction to our class, and the class was never given an explanation of what happened that made any sense. Following this, I reached out to EBP and then located and reached out to one of those instructors and got some insight into their situation. Based on what I learned from the two interactions, I ultimately decided that I no longer wanted to give money to an organization that I couldn't trust to treat its employees, or patrons with as much respect as I felt like they or we deserved.

However, it didn't work for my husband and myself, who despite being a little overweight exercise frequently. The studio proceeded very cautiously with us. We were told that we needed to learn all the moves before we could do anything that would even slightly challenge us. The problem is that the exercises were expensive and took time. And by doing them we weren't doing other exercises that really do challenge us (in our case yoga). After 7 "introductory" lessons with still no plan to get us to a point where we would have even mild muscle fatigue we decided it wasn't worth it.
