The warm up, circuit and AMRAP made sense, the exercises connected well, they were functional and under an hour. In the end I was gassed but felt amazing because was workout was really good. They also have good quality equipment (you cant go wrong with Rogue) and lots recovery tools all around.

Patrick (Packy) and his training team are all great instructors and the space has been retrofitted for pandemic safety with outdoor options for most workouts in the Pavillion. Have been able to build great bonds with the other clients as we all engage our own fitness to new challenges and have some nice laughs on the side.

It is a very unassuming gym, but from the entrance you'd never be able to tell it's like Mary Poppins' bag. There is a main area for weights with a couple of squat racks and benches as well as other machines. Yes, the equipment has seen better days, but the patrons are all respectful of weights and each other, so everything is still holding on. There are two rooms with a surprisingly wide variety of cardio machines (treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, rowing machines, and one or two others I'm not sure the names of). Down the stairs is the pool and the locker rooms, and through the locker rooms is the large aerobics room. Again, the equipment/mats here have seen better days, but it's manageable. There are kettlebells, medicine balls, and dumbbells on both floors for plenty of workout space. The staff is very friendly, and a lot of the patrons have some relation to BU med or BMC due to its close proximity. There are good deals on pricing for a lot of different groups, so be sure to check if you qualify. Overall a decent, worth the money gym experience that is hard to come by in a city like Boston,

If you want to swim laps you have to pay extra but otherwise you can swim during recreational swim and use the track most of the time. If you're worried about your valuables bring a lock or leave them at home. With your membership you can also choose to swim at other nearby pools which is pretty cool. I come here regularly because it's close to my house and I can walk there. I probably lost about 35 pounds between swimming and diet changes since joining in March.

This location stays busy, and is mostly younger individuals that go here. Definitely a smaller PF and has limited equipment & they never seemed to have anything, like paper towels and cleaning spray. Also, since there is limited equipment & this gym is always packed, good luck not only getting a squat rack, but with any machine for that matter. There is barely any space to put down a mat to stretch either. One thing that I did like about this location in particular was that the music was always good, I will admit. Many of my visits here, I went without headphones & luckily the music being played on the speakers would be exactly what I'd play personally, so that was great! Another con, unfortunately, was one time I visited, I had finished working out and walked back to my car to see a parking ticket. I was definitely confused, as I did not remember seeing anything (at the time, not sure if nowadays they've added parking restriction signs) regarding not being able to park at that spot? No meters there either. Due to this experience, that was likely my last straw and I never visited again after this. But I will always remember this location having the best music out of all the PFs I have visited ;) Cleanliness: 1/5 Machines, Equipment: 1/5 Parking: 1/5 Music: 4/5

IF ONLY the Housing section and VULNERABLE TENANTS were treated as wonderfully as the gym and gym members that would be nice. Tenants are watched like criminals from behind an ALWAYS CLOSED CRUZ MANAGEMENT COMPANY office door, but Huntington House is not a prison, jail, halfway house, shelter, recovery/treatment center, or the like. It is simply low-income/subsidized housing where tenants are treated very disrespectfully by the YMCA OF GREATER BOSTON'S agent CRUZ MANAGEMENT COMPANY. The building is treated just as poorly as tenants. Hallways and common areas are rarely swept or cleaned. Trash bins are often placed inside on the residential hallway on at least one floor, instead of outside of the entrance door to the residential floors. Exterminations are rare and many tenants would probably describe their units as uninhabitable. Complaints, maintenance requests are either ignored or, well, ignored! The general negligence in oversight by the YMCA OF GREATER BOSTON of CRUZ MANAGEMENT COMPANY "property managers" is nonexistent EVEN when YMCA OF GREATER BOSTON officials are apprised of problems and, in my situation, even after multiple legal actions. AND I COULD GO ON AND ON...AND ON!!!...AND ON!!!!! INSTEAD, I will refer you to my Substack account. There you can read my claims about the many violations of my state, federal, and constitutional rights by the YMCA OF GREATER BOSTON and CRUZ MANAGEMENT COMPANY since 2020 and YOU BE THE JUDGE in the comment section as to whether my rights were really violated. Search Still I Rise Above Hatred on Substack. MAYBE ONE DAY the YMCA OF GREATER BOSTON will use the many millions in donations per year to make living at the Huntington House as wonderful as exercising in the gym.
