The open barre class is the best balance of strength training and light cardio to help me build lean muscle. I felt energized for the rest of the day! The owner is incredibly friendly.

They have up to 12lb weights for you to use and she recommended me with 8lb and 10lb weights for the class which worked out well. They also have barre classes and trampoline which sounds fun. The mats are a hard to wipe down, but everything else was great. It would be nice to return in the future.

(really enjoyed the hitting-the-heavy-bags hahaha) John is so much fun and friendly and a really awesome trainer, and Ed the owner is super commutative as well (haven't seen him in person, but contacted him regarding trials and related through email).

The locker rooms have oak in them. The kicker? There's an underground tunnel from my dorm to the gym so I never feel the biting Boston winter in my gym clothes unless I choose to.

All Access is not your average gym. It's set up more like a CrossFit Box but without the dogma,…read morehigh cost, or a requirement that you work out in a group. There's tons of open space for functional work. When I work out, I want a power rack. Most gyms have one or two and so there's often a long wait. Because All Access has so many, of the 100 or so times I've gone, I've only had to wait for one three times (an extra ten minutes added to the warmup and one always frees up). There are serious lifters here, but it's not a judgmental group, just people serious about getting fit and strong. I find their success inspiring. The main area of improvement would be more plates so that each rack is self-sufficient.

I'd recommend this facility & their trainers/staff to any age/ability level!

The coaches are knowledgeable, and the workouts are different every class - which makes it fun to learn new things. But I think what I like the most is how every movement you learn is functional! The coaches break down each movement for you to understand the HOW and WHY.

Kink Pilates came into my life in June, and I truly can't imagine my life without it now. As a…read moredisabled person in a bigger body, I always felt intimidated by the Pilates world and assumed it was out of reach for someone like me. I took a chance and emailed Kink and within minutes I got the warmest reply welcoming me in. Modifications are never an afterthought here; they're offered with intention. I never feel singled out and I am included in every class exactly as I am. I started my journey by taking private lessons with Foetini (highly recommend). After my very first group class, she hugged me and told me how proud she was of me. Sarah, the owner, has personally emailed me after class to celebrate my progress on tough movements. Marissa knows to adjust the foot bar and put the foot strap on for me without having to ask. When I began taking her classes, Marissa always checked in after to make sure I felt comfortable and supported. I never knew a place like this could actually exist. Be forewarned, when you come to Kink, you're joining more than just a Pilates studio. You don't just get stronger but become apart of a community of badass people who root for your success.

The rest is - -music (on/off, selection and volume) has always been questionable -locker rooms (at least men's) are very bare bones -the weekend opening person (at least previously) would typically show up to open anywhere between scheduled opening and 20+ minutes late -Management sold a previous price increase on going to 24 hour operations and new equipment coming in. 24 hour operations was short lived (not necessarily their fault even if poorly executed) and the new equipment didn't show up for nearly a year and even then was marked "for use with mgmt approval". -while understanding the need for "survival" through Covid, the membership (while closed) and mask (when opened again) policies were questionable. -Cardio equipment is extremely limited. Metfit has increased their membership price past their value at this point for what they offer (excepting only if you really want to work with one of their specific, admittedly great trainers).

To be clear: I have…read morebeen coming to this gym for over 5 years. When I first arrive, I was an overweight, short, and weak Asian man in his early 30s in need of a healthier life style. This gym help me lose 20lbs in the first year and another 15 the next year. I gotten a lot stronger, faster, and healthier. I'm very thankful for Coach Jason, Seth, and Emily. What I really enjoy about this gym is the members are very encouraging. They push you to finish your work out, not give up, and continue to participated. This isn't the type of gym that's competitive but the one to push better health. I never heard of crossfit when I first walked in the gym Here's what stayed the same: It's still a bit pricey at $197 at a full membership. There is a slight discount for students and first responders. There are drop-in packages if you don't want to commit for a full month. I honestly did just crossfit and it was very effective. There is also a weightlifting class that just restarted. Please contact the gym if you haven't done crossfit before because there is a trial class. Here is what have changed: The gym added rowing and Brazilian JiuJitsu class for the evenings ( I think 6:30 and 7:30 respectively and on certain nights). Brazilian JiuJitsu is really fun. If you are looking for a new gym or just wanted to work out, I highly recommend this gym. I am a person that usually don't know what I am doing but all the coaches really help here.

I went from couch to CrossFit Arsenal about two weeks ago and already know it's the best decision I've made in a while. The coaches demonstrate movements at the beginning of class then proactively provide guidance during the workout of the day. The members are down-to-earth, kind people. I am excited about losing weight, taking time for myself, building the strength/energy to keep up with my boys, and reclaiming long term health here. TLDR: Highly recommend the CrossFit Arsenal for its well-curated full body workouts and great coaches/community!
