Growing up, I was always at the Y. It was where my family and I were every weekend. This was where…read moreI first learned how to swim! I even did swim team here which met practically every day until I had to quit in order to play other sports. The kiddie pool definitely needs a cleaning but the lane swimming pool is pretty clean. They have an indoor basketball court, indoor track upstairs, gym equipment upstairs, and of course, two swimming pools, 25yd. I probably hadn't been back to the Y in 6 years since I quit swimming competitively, & last visited a few months ago. Not much has changed honestly. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I think they got rid of a bunch of gym equipment? Like half of the equipment they used to have lol. Overall, a solid place to go if you're interested in a gym that has about everything for everyone in the family! Affordable rates for memberships compared to other gyms that have these amenities (pools/basketball courts etc). Parking: lots of parking available!

Alicia the owner has been incredibly helpful working around my irregular schedule. I've finally been able to stick to a consistent workout routine. I've lost 30 pounds and down 2 pant sizes but the biggest rewards have been the increased energy and strength, better sleep ( no more snoring- my whole family is happy about that), increased flexibility and a renewed motivation to keep going! If you're looking for a supportive, fun, and truly transformative fitness community this is the place to be!

There was an iPad/tablet set up by the front desk where I was able to check myself in. I was not sure where the class was located but staff was very helpful and walked me downstairs to the spin class. Their upstairs/main level seemed to be where all the machines are and yoga/pilates classes. The gym was actually a lot bigger than I thought. Downstairs was where spin classes are held and they had a women's locker room down there as well. The locker room was clean, had showers, hairdryers, etc. This was the first spin class I have taken that was not through SoulCycle and the bikes were a little different but similar enough that I was able to figure it out. Overall, not a bad class. I'm used to a bit more choreography on the handle bars but still a nice class! I would totally switch to this gym if only they were open a little later because I do enjoy working out at night sometimes. Parking is a little tricky in this area. If there's not a spot on the main street (Granite), I would check on the side of Bruegger's Bagels or on Adams St.

I've been coming to this studio for a few months now - since April. I had been part of a lot of…read morestudios prior and I wasn't happy with them because of a few factors (distance, cost, lack of something necessary [cardio, better timings of classes]), etc. Before coming here I did my research, looked up prices, reviews etc. I then met with Katie Kickbutt aka Katie M at this newly opened location before taking my first class. I got the new student class pack and was taking classes before I knew it. Classes are great and so wonderful. They are challenging and the instructors motivate and encourage you to do your best and come to class as much as possible. They modify exercises in all classes if you have an injury. My favorite classes so far are Pound, Barre, and SparBarre. Next on my list to try? Pound/Barre combo and Strong by Zumba. I love it here, and truly feel like I belong at this studio. Sounds cheesy, but I do. I love the workouts, the instructors, and best of all, the atmosphere.

Katie and her Kickbutt team are awesome! I've been coming here for almost 2 years now, and I love…read morethat all the women are welcoming and friendly. We've really built a community in which we cheer each other on, and challenge one another to work out harder. I've never really exercised before Katie's, never thought I would pick up a dumbbell, never thought I would run a 5K or a 5 miler, never thought arm muscles were cool, and from going to Katie's, the ladies and her staff have encouraged and supported me to change my lifestyle! My personal favorite are her bootcamps and cardio kick classes. Katie Fitz works you out at bootcamp-it's never a dull moment between her circuits. She is definitely a challenge! And Katie Kickbutt's cardio kick classes are super fun-it's a mix of weights and cardio choreographed to cool music.

OK, I get it that Zumba is all about making workouts fun and bringing the joys of dance and music…read moreto everyone, but I can honestly say, after having tried most of the Zumba classes in the Boston area, that I cannot stand when a class is taught by an instructor who has less dance skills, rythym, and coordination than a bobble head on the dashboard of a pick up truck. This is where Jackie comes in, an accomplished dancer and fitness professional. The Zumba classes at Bodyfit just get better and better. Jackie incorporates bollywood, various latin dances, hip hop, swing, and other dance styles to keep things interesting. I don't get bored (this is a feat in itself for me) and I really like that Jackie cycles high intensity songs interspersed with low intensity to keep that metabolism going. I have learned so much about dance, it never feels like a workout, and it is super affordable.

I love this place! I was looking for a good Zumba class in the area. Like the other reviewers I've…read morebeen to some pretty bad classes. One that I took at my gym was entertaining in that I've never seen anyone do Latin dance moves with a bored expression on their face. Jackie is not playing around. The moves are fast, she will seek you out if you are totally lost, and she is always enjoying herself. After trying one class for free (go to her website and print out a pass) I decided to pay the monthly fee ($59). Unlike some places she doesn't put rigid restrictions on passes. I'm going to spend the month taking each of her classes and figuring out which ones I want to continue. I find her Zumba class very challenging, but I also really liked her kickboxing class.

R3Bilt's combination of heavy strength training, recovery through yoga, and mindfulness all in 60 minutes has been amazing. I'm never bored and love seeing my progress week-to-week.
