The staff is great and easy to chat to. The fellow gym goers are also great and I've made quite a few good connections already. The classes look great, though I haven't done one yet, I'll get to one eventually. One staff member suggested a new Pilates class for my wife as she is ailing a fractured patella. I love this gym and look forward to it every time I go!

It is not a normal gym, as you will sign up for group classes set on specific days and at specific times. Once you do, you'll be in a small class (usually less than 10), with two trainers giving you plenty of attention. Speaking of trainers, they recruit the best and the brightest, including my trainer, Anna Tocco, who is a ball of energy. It works out to be about $20 a session. You'll work up a sweat, but not simply for the sake of sweating - over the course of each 4 month session there is a plan to make you stronger, better conditioned, and less injury prone. You'll be doing the same workouts the pro athletes there are doing (when I was there, the NFL combine prep was in full swing), which some modifications of course (and obviously not at the same weights). They make great use of the astroturf for sprinting amd plyo work. Plenty of olympic weight racks. Penty of slideboard work too, which is awesome. No question, this is the gold standard.

Like many people I've bounced around from gym to gym - large, small and in between. GISFW isn't a…read moregym, it's like your own fitness center with a personal trainer and health coach at your disposal. The small group setting gives you motivation while still providing individual attention from the trainers. The new owner at this location has recently upgraded the studio. She is personable and started off as a client at GISFW - you can tell it is more than a business for her, it's become her lifestyle. I like the fact that She and her family live in Winchester, her children go to the local schools and she is vested in the community. I don't live in the community but find the location easy to get to and always find on street parking very close to the studio. I'm happy that I finally found GISFW and excited for the future as I take my workouts and overall health to a new level!

It's been especially great to be able to join virtual workouts with our trainers during the stay-at-home advisory. I've been motivated to work out almost every day since there's such a variety of offerings, and if I can't make the scheduled time on Zoom, I can visit YouTube and choose my workout and trainer! Thanks to Maria and her team for getting creative and keeping us on track.

I am a working mother of two young boys. After years of struggling with finding the time to eat…read moreright and excercise I decided to join Get In Shape for Women in Woburn. In three months, I have lost two pant sizes. I feel strong, with an overall boost in energy and strength. The manager and trainer are knowledgeable, dedicated, and motivating. They are commited to your overall success through weightlifting, cardio, and nutrition. They are excellent at troubleshooting aches and pains or possible past injuries. One week I was worried as I had a sore hip and I thought it may be the end of my workouts. The trainer was able to work around my hip allowing it to rest and repair, while maintaining a work out for the rest of me! My times at the gym are at 6am. I find that if I work out first thing in the morning I approach the rest of my day with a healthy and happy attitude. I also need this time slot as my family is still asleep. Like most mom's once the kids are awake, my time is no longer mine and a minute is hard to find. GISFW in Woburn has made a significant impact upon my life and my family's life. I feel empowered and in control...I see the ability to change my weight, which is greatly impacting my overall confidence in life. I strongly recommend to any woman (even working moms) struggling with weight, eating right, or body image to give it a try! I am confident they can help you to make the change too! -Sarah C.

This is a very personal fitness studio/gym/life style center for ALL women ALL ages and in ALL…read morephysical shapes and sizes. I have attended workout sessions for two and three times a week for almost two years. Not only have I lost weight, but I have become stronger, stand up straighter, have a clearer mind, and feel so much better about myself and life. The owner, Christine, and the two fitness trainers, Laura and Denise, are dedicated to each and every woman who walks through the door. You are greeted by name every time. Christine, Laura and Denise get to know you as a person - your physical strengths and weaknesses - they keep track of who has a bothersome left shoulder, a sore right ankle, a rehabilitating knee, they know when it is time to move you up on weights, and that the woman next to you should be using a slightly lower weight. Their keen eye will have you adjusting a grip, or moving a little more one way or the other to insure you are getting the best workout. The same goes for those days when you feel as if you can barely walk in the door, they greet you warmly and guide you through your 30 minute strength exercises for what is right for you on that day. This is not just exercise. There is constant checking up on nutrition, what did you have today, could you have changed it to make it better, what are you planning to buy at the grocery. Christine offers 'after hour get togethers' that have included - cooking demonstrations, let's just talk about how to break that plateau, working out with pain - chiropractors and other practitioners speaking on these topics, and even a make-up session with a professional make up artist. The group even has done annual service projects - collecting and sending goods to US service men and women, and running in Woburn Boys and Girls Club annual run. The GISFW franchise stresses accountability. Each session is limited to four women, so you have a specific reserved time. It is possible to change 'your' time but it is best to stick to a regular schedule. And the dreaded 'weigh in' - necessary, and always handled in confidentiality. I highly recommend trying the studio with one of the specials offered throughout the year. You may consider it to be pricey, but I have found that the quality and my own personal results are beyond the annual fee. Try it out. All you have to lose are a few pounds and some sweat!

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!!!

There is so much to love about The Fitter Female, starting with the level of focused personalized…read moretraining they give their members. Each class has only 6 members (occasionally 7), which enables the trainers to really get to know the members and their strengths and weaknesses. If you have an injury one week, the trainers will change your workout to accommodate your limits while still giving you a full body workout that will keep you challenged and getting fitter by the day. Always professional and knowledgeable, the trainers set the bar based on each individual's current fitness level taking their goals into consideration. In the past 5 months my body fat percentage has dropped considerably, my muscle mass has increased and I have consistently lost weight. Most importantly, I feel wonderful! If you don't believe me, call and talk with the owner, Glenn Nazarian. He genuinely cares about his members' journeys, and his own story is quite amazing.

After 3 weeks of 3 times per week, I realized I was walking better than I had in 15 years. So then I figured: if I have to spend $3000 a year to have mobility as I age (I am 72 years old), then so be it. I love the classes---I actually look forward to working hard for an hour 2 times a week. My core strength is greatly improved. I always leave feeling like I got a heckof a good workout. My posture has improved (Dave is focused on posture---thanks Dave!). And I have a 20 minute drive---and even that is not a deterrent to my being there. I am very happy at Fitter Female. meg costello
