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!!

I received the monthly email from Boston Landing with all of the things anyone would need to know…read moreabout new things with merchants at Boston Landing. The first thing mentioned was that NB had purchased an InBody 380 machine which does an analysis of body fat. $15 for NB members and $30 for non-members. I immediately called to inquire (if only I could get myself to the gym that quickly!). 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. It's quick and easy, it prints out the results and you can also scan the QR code to keep them on your phone. Make an appt if interested!!!

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!

I may only be taking advantage of 10% of what the YMCA offers, but so far, it is already WELL worth…read morethe price. The Kids Corner (babysitting) is fantastic. It's such a beautiful, bright and clean room, and the staff who take care of my kids are consistently fabulous -- a huge improvement from my previous gym which shall not be named where most of the staff didn't even seem to enjoy children. But the staff in the Kids Corner seem to genuinely care for the children and seem happy to be there! My daughter sucks on everything within a 2-foot radius, and I was happy to learn that they routinely clean the toys that have been sucked on! A couple other pluses: I love that the treadmills are equipped with live TV, Netflix and Hulu. The front desk staff are really friendly and helpful. There is a pretty wide variety of classes and I can't wait until the baby's nap schedule will allow me to partake in some! And the steam room! Ahhh, the steam room. A couple of things that I wish could be improved: 1) The parking. Though there is a TON of parking, it somehow doesn't seem to be enough! Around 10am on weekdays, it's pretty tough to find a spot. 2) The locker room is a little dingy. Clean, but it just feels old. Lastly, there is one huuuuuge plus that I didn't even know I needed: Diversity. Yes, you heard that right. Diversity. In Newton! Really! I love that when I bring my kids here, they will see people of all races, ages and abilities both as members and employees! I see people being treated with respect and care, and even just being near that makes you feel good, doesn't it? The YMCA is good for my soul, people. I'm so glad this place is here and has the mission it does. It really is a great place.

But when the newer manager was superior to him. Sandra ask is she's an owner I wish this wasn't a corporate place.. because her standards are much higher. She acts like an owner. It is not perfect but a lot of these reviews I find overly harsh. It is not perfect. And I am extremely picky. I could make several suggestions. The first would be that certain members could email her she would have rules because I know she doesn't give out her email address she would say something like this. I have given just a few people email purchase, but no or this, or that you can make suggestions of what you see and she would say what she wanted what she would not take. A few of the employees go above and beyond. Some of them are friendly but I don't consider them to be like the others. There's one person that works Saturday night I was like the music off 20-15 or 20 minutes before closing no messages OK I'm shutting off the music nope. But with this said, I found two employees excellent Marcus in the a.m. person who took his position morning I don't know her name she goes way above and beyond. She is quite special name, recognition and she really cares it's obvious. But over the last few days. I wish she was working because her last shift was Friday. What are the brand new machines broken it's so broken.. that cannot even move. So if you were extremely strong person, you could not do it.. and these are brand new machines. I actually called the company I try to get information they said after three different people I spoke with is a corporate issue item. So that is why you couldn't find your model. She said you gotta get the model name is serial number. I had Marcus look for cause I couldn't find it is I don't see serial number. And I believe this is the model number? The answer no But I have so many different questions about this machine in the staff rightfully couldn't do it. First to be like why do three of the fans not work at all and why is it so hard to hit? Enter his machines some of them do, but some don't I don't mean some of them do it some don't, but you can do certain things, but not everything I do with a lot of time, I happen to use the machine for a maximum time with a vengeance 19 minutes but when you don't follow the directions that are posted on the machine doesn't work . but since I sweat abnormally. 3.6 pounds Saturday and 3.8 Sunday. And before Sandra move the fan downstairs, I was going to say can we have another fan upstairs but no, she was downstairs with the weight lifters who I was gonna take a picture with a person with a winter hat on it right now the fans don't work on the machines, I asked for Marcus and Sandra only a Saturday or Sunday. They weren't there so I asked the girl they don't know her name tomorrow and they'll put auto order on machine is impossible to move. Bot on a good note. This machine does special things. It gives youI special information. (That no other machines do!) t gives you an impressive report card at the end of your workout and I am picky. Saw Mike wow, I'm impressed. impressive report card at the end of your workout and I'm picky too! But my assumption is. I might be correct might be wrong.. since these are supposed to be brand new, I don't believe so. Because these are only sold to corporate businesses, it is abnormal for machine like this page affective out of the box in my mind. These are defective when I see all these details and I can't use them with these doesn't make sense and when I called them, call them closer could you send me the model number and serial number? How old is the model number in the new machines on the personal level, look like this machine the screen Now I'm done with this review. But this one is for yelp. Why couldn't you make an adjustment and put the newest reviews first don't put 2018 I know that is so makes sense so I think you can fix that because yelp is important.
