I enjoy visiting this gym every time I visit my in-laws in Melrose. Here's why:…read more1. Well maintained with fancy equipment. I enjoy tracking my heart rate and making sure I am trying to reach my max in every workout. If you are a first timer, it takes a little bit more time to customize your heart rate to your reader, but well worth it! 2. Awesome instructors like Sue and Thom! They motivated me and since I feel like I am always new, they gave me extra attention to make sure I was doing the exercises right and made me feel welcome! 3. There is a gym you can use in addition to the classes, which I never took advantage off, but it had cardio and strength machines. My only complaint is that the price of $25-30 per class can be steep! That pass is not really a day pass and covers one class only. It is best to take advantage of deals, like they have an awesome NY deal, or ClassPass. Overall, a great gym and you should try it for yourself, especially if you live in Melrose!

Small groups and array of training and personal training and two locations highly recommend.read more

I don't understand the negative reviews here! Just joined this gym today and did my first workout…read more I was looking for a place that's affordable, clean, conveniently located (I'm a few blocks away), has plenty of equipment, and doesn't pressure you to sign up for personal training, classes, etc. That's exactly what I got. At $19.99 a month (with no long term contracts), this is perfect for me. I can use the ellipticals, the bikes, the treadmills. And at this price, if I go three times a week, I'm still getting my money's worth. If you want glamor and glitz with a price tag to match, go to one of the "fancy" places. There are plenty of them out there. But if you're looking for a place to get in a workout without the nonsense, then check out this place. You won't be sorry!

Men's Health…read moreagrees (http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/america_s_best_gyms/Mike_Boyle_Strength_Conditioning.php). If you live in Boston, you'll need a car to get out here. 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.

DO NOT SIGN UP THE MAKE IT LITERAL HELL TO CANCEL…read more WAS a decent gym. Has gotten worse under whoever bought the brand from Blink. The biggest issue I have with FLASH is that they illegally use cancellation tactics and roadblocks to make it almost impossible to cancel the membership. Under MA state law their "rules and conditions" are illegal. I have spent almost a half a year of my very busy life trying to get this con of a company to cancel my membership.

It's over packed more than any gym I've ever seen. Con 2: There is one urinal in men's restroom. 400 people in the building with one urinal. You do the math.

There's a reason Lift Positive won Best Personal Training for 2020!…read more Rob, the owner, is absolutely fantastic. He really takes the time to get to know you, and creates a personalized training plan to catapult you toward your goals. As an engineer, I love how the system is structured such that your workout is quantifiable and it's easy to track progress. As a busy working human, I really feel like I'm maximizing my time and getting the best workout each hour-long session. I really like the concept of semi-personal training because let's be honest, you don't really need someone staring at you watching you do reps for 3600 seconds straight. Having a few other people there (up to 4 total per session) helps build a sense of community while still providing the attention and guidance you need. As someone who had been on and off the workout train for a bit, I've dealt with gymtimidation at a lot of other gyms, but not this one. The name rings true as this is definitely the most positive and friendly gym environment I've been in! I've never once felt judged here, not even for my weird taste in music. What I value about this personal training experience is that Rob is so encouraging, he makes you want to do better for yourself. I've hit a lot of personal records here, and I've lifted weights that I didn't think I could. At the same time, he will never make you do something that you're not comfortable with. If ever I feel like an exercise wasn't working my body quite right, Rob gives me pointers as to how to adjust the exercise to my body. He's also full of nutrition tips--a one-stop shop for holistic life advice! After just a couple weeks I feel much stronger than when I first started, and I'm equipped with new knowledge and exercises. Maybe most importantly, this experience gives me a new sense of (and appreciation for) discipline which is sure to help me maintain my forward momentum and reach my goals. Also, Rob has a dog named Rufus who hangs around sometimes and is super affectionate and fun. I probably should have just led with that.

There is a community here that I didn't know was possible to have at a gym. This place has strength training, weights, fitness classes, and some semi-private personal training. I have been super impressed with the owner, Rob. I have followed him here, after following him through multiple places he has worked at before opening up this place. Over the past 7 years, Rob has been the most dedicated trainer and human being I have ever met. From making me run with the treadmill OFF for 30sec intervals, to more Farmer's Walks than I thought were humanly possible, to getting me to the point where I could do more pull-ups than half the guys that walked by me(and yes, they were obviously unassisted). He made me realize that I was strong, and powerful, and he actually kept me motivated. I have completely fallen off my game the past 3 years, and I cannot wait to get back at it. When he opened this joint up-I RAN my butt in there...and you should too. I have limitations at the moment due to some spine stuff, but Rob is going to work with me as soon as I get restrictions from my PT's and doctors. He will meet you where you are at. If you want to go to a subpar gym and give yourself a pat on the back for going on the treadmill for 30min-be my guest-I've been that chick and it doesn't feel good. If you want to feel like you just kicked a**, then check this place out. I ASSURE YOU- you will not be disappointed.

Each class is split…read moreinto a "skill", where powerlifting/crossfit exercises are taught, and the high intensity "Workout Of the Day" or "WOD", where learned skills are utilized. I think this is a good class format as the coaches take the time to work with you on form, preventing injuries down the line. The coaches: Dave, Staci, Mike, and Ryan do a great job! Some of the workouts are very intense, and there is NO WAY I would be able to push myself that hard without their encouragement. They know what they are doing, and are fantastic people. I haven't had workouts this high in intensity since college days. There is great community vibe here too. The same people show up to classes, you make friends, get inspired, get challenged, and have fun. And this produces results. In less then 2 months, I dropped 2 body fat percentage points, gained two inches in my shoulders, and lost an inch in my waist. My deadlift is up 40 lbs, and similar gains in other lifts. I'm told my posture has improved. I see similar changes in people that consistently show up. Unlike many other crossfit gyms, this gym isn't overpriced - it's half the price of popular crossfit gyms within Boston. For the money, there isn't a crossfit gym around that can offer nearly the same level of coaching and dedication that you get at Billerica Crossfit. In tough times and shrinking paychecks, I very much appreciate that this gym makes the benefits of crossfit affordable.

Fit Results is a beautiful, modern gym that sits inside the former Billerica Furniture Company location; it's a renovated barn that's been transformed into a 24/7 fitness center. All equipment is either brand new or refurbished, all of which is excellent working order. I spent all of my time in the cardio area upstairs, which is accessible via its own staircase, so you have the privacy of bypassing the rest of the gym. I signed up for a single month for $40 and this gave me a nice chance to see if the gym was, for lack of a better word, a good fit for me It certainly was and I considered a longer-term contract, but unfortunately my busy schedule did not permit it. Prices are a bit higher than other area gyms and there may be a signup fee involved, so find out about current specials and packages. From what I was told, contracts can be voided if you move a certain distance and they have deals for students/young people who live at home who might move. This is a great place to work out and I definitely recommend it. If I had the time, I'd absolutely be a member.
