I have had an amazing experience with the trainers. They are hands on and take the time to teach you the basics.

The staff at Synergy are fantastic. I am a repeat customer for a few reasons. Mainly I love small group workouts and the community that it builds. The gym is great but I just struggled figuring out what I needed to do. Synergy eliminates the guess work. Age is no matter, physical limitations also no matter. The staff will help with alternative exercises and work with any limitations. They make the workouts challenging but fun. They also offer virtual if physically going in is a challenge. Don't want a group workout, they got that covered too. One on one personal training is always and option. I just love this place and the staff! read more

Synergy PFT Waltham and Brad are a great experience! I'm from the Boston area, live on the West Coast now, but come back this way often to visit family. I'm so glad I found this personal training and small group fitness facility! Brad is so welcoming and motivating, and his instruction is easy to follow and fun! I know where I'll feel at home working out every time I am back in my hometown now. Thanks for an all-around great workout, Brad and Synergy PFT Waltham! read more

I've been going to Synergy for a couple of years now. It's small groups. And the trainers give you lots of attention. I've never used weights before going here. And I noticed a big difference in my body. I would recommend giving them a try you'll love it there. CAROL B. read more

I've been a member here for several years and I'm so grateful for Synergy! Brad and Sean always bring the fun and energy, and Bianca is a great new addition to the team. What I love most about Synergy is the positive community, which is so diverse and in all different places on our exercise journeys. Also great are the challenges that motivate us to make changes in addition to working out. I look forward to my Synergy workouts, and they keep me motivated! read more

I've been going to Synergy for a month and a half now. I love it. The staffs are soo nice. They have convenient online booking and a lot of class time available for everyone. Each class is about an hour long. I love that each session have 5 people to one instructor. You work at your own pace but it's motivating to see other people do it and you push yourself to move forward and finish the workout. Of course, the instructors are right there with you working you through. My 6 weeks jumpstart ended and they're not pushy towards sales or wanting me to renew. Jackie gave me options and explain the details of buying more classes, etc. And I've met some people who loved it, some have been going for years. I will be returning! read more

Synergy is a great small group training gym. It's a diverse, down-to-earth group. Everyone is really friendly and the trainers are great. They make working out fun. You go for an hour and they lead you through a full body workout. All of the workouts are scalable - if you are in top shape, you just go faster and lift heavier weight, if you are a beginner you go slower with modifications and less weight. I've been a member of many gyms in the Boston area and this one is a gem! It's also very reasonably priced and they have a very generous new member special. Thanks Brad and Sean! read more

I'm a fairly new member, but I've been to 10+ training sessions so far and I LOVE this place. I've had numerous gym memberships at "big box" gyms and I never felt motivated or knew how to switch up my workouts. Sean and Emilia are fantastic trainers and make me feel extremely comfortable and motivated. Before I signed up, I sat down with the owner (Brad) and he helped me determine my goals after we set a baseline for where I was at. I think I've found my forever gym! I have a crazy travel work schedule but I can easily cancel or change trainings in the app. I love that I can sign up for time slots because it holds me accountable to come in. Can't wait to see some results!! read more

I'd love to tell you what Syn's got to offer, but every time I've called them, I get a machine, leave a message inquiring on price and hours, and never get a call back. This tells me you don't want my business despite having called you at least 3 or 4 times in the past. read more

Now that I've been a member for a year, feels like time for an update. When I joined SYN, I was planning to stay for a few months, learn some tricks and head to a less-expensive gym. But now, I can't imagine switching. I've lost another 10lbs/1 size since my first review, and my doctors are astonished with how much better my health is. Everyone who works there is super-supportive & friendly, and they know how to push you to work hard without making you uncomfortable. On the whole, it's the best bang for your buck. Do it - you won't regret it. read more

I became a member of Syn club today. I have a specific fitness goal in mind that (despite trying hard) I have not been able to achieve by myself for the past 2 years. Let's see if Syn club can get me there in my time frame of 2 months. I have not started working out at Syn club yet but the registration experience was great! Brad (the guy who went through the process of registration with me today) was very knowledgable and enthusiastic! The space is small but it is clean and nice. One thing that I liked about Syn club is that you don't have to commit to year long memberships, you can do one month at a time. The membership is not cheap and depending on the length of your commitment goes from something around 200 to 270 per month for 12 one-hour sessions. I will come back again in two months, after my 24th session, to let you know about actual experience with the training! read more

The staff at Synergy PFT do a great job of motivating you to give your best during every workout! I've been a member for 2 1/2 years and have seen significant improvement in my physical fitness during that time. The other clients are friendly and bring a positive atmosphere to the training. I wholeheartedly recommend Synergy PFT! read more

Because I was getting married in September, I called Syn in May, went in with a friend for a complimentary session and discussion about their methods etc and signed up the next week. I've been going 3 times a week ever since and it's been wonderful. When I started my wedding dress fittings, I knew if I lost just a little weight I'd look and feel a lot better. After going to Syn consistently, at my last dress fitting I was told not to lose any more weight or the dress would fall off on my way up the aisle :o) I think Syn was effective!! I'm one of those people who would go to the free gym at my work, but not know what to do once I got there. It was a waste of my time and it was frustrating to get up early, go to the gym and have no idea how to make the most of my time there. Signing up for Syn meant that every time I walked in the door of the gym, there was a trainer who knew me and where I was so far as ability level to help push me and make the time I was spending in the gym meaningful. I feel like the guidance and ever-changing workouts have made a huge difference in not only how my body looks and feels but also things like my energy and confidence levels. The facility is great, the trainers are wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable and I leave knowing that the time I spent there was actually useful. For me, that makes Syn well worth the price per month. read more

Syn is a great place to work out. The trainers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic and they challenge me in every session. Working with a trainer every time has really helped me get into shape since they are right there to correct your form or encourage you to get through the reps. Every week is a different workout so I never get bored. The facility is always clean and the other clients are fun to work out with. There's no way I could afford a personal trainer 3x a week like I get at Syn. I do my 1/2 hour with the trainer and 1/2 hour of cardio and then I'm done for the day, it's great to have a quick, effective workout. read more

I have going to Syn Club on a regular basis for about 16 months. I m in the best shape I have ever been in! But most importantly...... I just donated three contractor size garbage bags full of clothes that are all too big me. syn club works. read more

The BEST small group training place EVER! Sean (trainer) and Brad (owner) are awesome!!! Everybody who goes there are pleasant. It is not a typical gym experience. You get in shape without being bored. They keep an eye on everybody and tailor the exercises according to your condition and special needs. Synergy has been amazing for me and for my wife. Several of our friends who joined with our encouragements also love Synergy and the Syn Family. read more

I realized once I started going to Synergy, Waltham, that trainning in a group setting I go more regularly and work harder than when I join a gym. Sean, the instructor is fabulous. Although there are about 4 people in each group he makes it his priority to pay attention and advise all of us individually. Brad is great and is there for private 1-on-1instruction.

This is my second time around as a Syn Club member, and I'm a huge fan of this personal training/workout studio. I first joined back in 2011 for about 9 months, then took a hiatus to save some money, and recently came back for the 6 months leading up to my wedding. The pricing is more expensive than a typical gym, but the fee is based on how many times per month you come in. I chose to sign up for a 12x a month plan, figuring I would work out 3x a week, and then go to my cheap Waltham gym on the weekends and/or off hours for cardio only. You schedule your sessions ahead of time online, and can change and cancel as often as you need to, as long as it's 3 hours prior to the session. Each week rotates between either a 9 minute or 14 minute interval, and there is a set workout planned out that changes each week. I typically work out with Sean because I go in on the same days each week, but every once in awhile I'll also have Jackie - both are fantastic. Regardless of how many people are working out during that interval (anywhere from just me to 3 other people - it would never be more than 4 during your intervals), I feel that Sean tailors the workout to my strengths and weaknesses (I have a bad knee, so I don't do a lot of the lunges, squats, etc). When it is just me, you do have the luxury of feeling like you are having a 1-on-1 personal training session, but I don't feel that my workout suffers when there are more people there. Everyone who works there is very friendly and is always trying to talk to you about nutrition and motivate you to work harder, and make sure you make your appointments. Some people may find this annoying, but this is what I am paying for! My body feels so much better when I am working out there, I feel strong and toned, and while I haven't lost a ton of weight (I am on thyroid medication and always struggle), it is so worth it to me. I also enjoy the fact that most everyone else working out there is trying just as hard, so it motivates me even more. read more

If you are looking for a place to start or to continue your fitness journey - look no further! I've been a member of Synergy for several years now and I can say with full confidence that this place is a real gem! It's not your typical chain gym with long rows of treadmills and tons of people wondering around aimlessly not sure where to start or what to do with themselves. Synergy is a boutique fitness studio which effectively combines 3 key elements to ensure real, measurable results of its members: 1) devoted, knowledgeable, energetic and personable trainers who provide you with instructions, guidance and support every training session; 2) well-balanced training sessions consisting of cardio and strength training limited to only 5 people; and 3) very clean and positive workout environment filled with tons of encouragement and judgment-free atmosphere. At Synergy while the exercises keep changing each training session, the results remain the same - an effective full body workout that boosts your mood and makes your body fit, strong and healthy. Even at the onset of Covid-19 quarantine the Synergy Team didn't abandon its members but instead quickly adapted to this extremely tough situation by lending its members resistance equipment and introducing excellent workout classes via Zoom to help its members maintain their health and sanity in the safety of their homes during these difficult times! Thank you so much, Brad, Sean, and Emilia, for you dedication, motivation and perseverance! I can't wait for Synergy doors to reopen again! read more

Synergy PFT - Gyms Near Me - Waltham, Massachusetts

I must be the odd man out. After reading all these reviews you would think this place is amazing. I am pretty sure the owners ask clients to write good reviews on their behalf. ($20 bucks the owner makes some comment below my review) Last summer, I joined SynClub for 3 months... I did not enjoy my experience at Syn Club. My review excludes Jackie (the best trainer there). If Jackie was there full time I wouldn't have left. I did not drop a single pound when I was a member. For whatever reason their method did not work for me...I was annoyed that they assumed all their clients sat around all day and ate McDonald's and large Coke (haven't touched either since I was a kid). I found it insulting. Check out their Facebook page and you will see what I mean. I did not enjoy such questions as "what did you eat for lunch?" "how come you didn't come in yesterday?". I did not join to be babysat. It is not motivating for me. The biggest drawback is that you are paying a crazy amount of money and you do not have the freedom to work out at the gym whenever you want since it's appointment based. I can't recall how much it was but it was mid $200's per month. I felt like I was mislead when I signed up, I was told that the trainer creates a custom work out for me. Not really custom at all, every week it alternated between 9 minutes on cardio and 9 minutes on weights for an hour, and then the next week 14 minutes on cardio/14 on weights. Also, all these people claiming this place is "clean" must have dirty houses. The floors need a deep cleaning! Yuck! I will stick to my chain gym where I can come & go as I please! read more

Now into my fifth month as a Syn Club client. I've been sticking to the program, going for training three times a week. Having tried many diet plans and health clubs over the years, I can say that this is the only one that has truly worked for me. I've lost weight. I sleep better. My diet has improved. I'm feeling less stress. I look more relaxed. I'm stronger. I'm healthier. Great staff, clean facility, friendly clients, good price. If you are looking for a chance to improve your fitness, this is the way. read more

The SYN club is a great place to work out or do yoga. It is sunny & bright and always clean, The people who work at SYN are pleassant, friendly, attentive & professional. Saturday mornings @ 7:30 they have a great Kundalini Yoga class. read more

This is the most dedicated Ive even been to working out. With this gyms monthly membership you get 12 personal training visits and you schedule all your appointments online. Its the power of the appointment that really gets me in there 3 times a week EVERY week. And if I can only go 2 times one week, I go 4 the next week. Not only have a dropped a pants size but i feel so much better about myself. I like this gym so much better than going to a large gym because its less intimidating and Ive learned so much about the right exercises I need to do for My body! To top it off its CHEAP. Less than $20 a session! I Highly Recommend it! read more

I signed up this spring for 5, 1-on-1 personal training sessions and 2 months of group sessions. Unfortunately, they had trouble finding time to schedule my personal training and finding a location. I never even used my group sessions because they expired by the time I finished my 1-on-1's. Once I finally had a session I felt that it really wasn't tailored to me. I was asked the same questions I had been asked when I signed up and did my assessment. I also got a different trainer after the fist session and they weren't even told my background which was very annoying since I had specific health problems. The trainers weren't very motivating, positive or energetic. If you're looking for the whole personal training experience I would save your money and look somewhere else. read more

I loved working out at Syn Club! I signed up for a six-month membership to help me get in shape before my wedding and it was the best decision. I lost the 15 pounds I wanted to shed just in time. I've had gym memberships for years, but I needed something that would really push me to achieve my goals before the wedding. Because you make appointments with the trainers ahead of time, it forces you to actually go to the gym when you might be tempted to stay home otherwise. The trainers are all very nice and encouraging. The other members are also very nice. The only con is the price, but in my opinion it was well worth the cost. I felt great after my workouts and I felt amazing at my wedding knowing that I achieved my fitness goals in the timeline I gave myself. read more

I've been on Yelp for years, but don't usually write reviews, so not sure if this one will be posted, but... I've been going to Syn for a couple of years now, which is more than I can say of any other gym or personal training studio that I've been to in the past. The staff at Syn know their stuff and keep it intense, customized for ability, and somehow fun at the same time. I've been able to stay in consistently good shape for those past few years - which is better than I've ever done before. Speaking as a busy, middle aged guy with a lot going on, for me the key is being able to sustain habits. The owners and staff at Syn know the recipe for making something that, for me, is not a whole lot of fun, into something that I can look forward to and sustain. This place is just a storefront gym, but if want personalized attention for a more than fair price, and more importantly, if you're serious about getting and sustaining results, this is the place for you. read more

I joined Synergy after seeing the positive results a family member obtained within a few visits. I had joined other clubs in past, worked with personal trainers and was never that impressed. Synergy is my absolute "Wicked" favorite!!! I have been a member for over 2 years; the problem child member because I do not always pay attention. Sean keeps me on task, is patient and motivates me. He is by far the best trainer i have ever worked with!! After purchasing 24 sessions I decided to join monthly and currently attend three sessions weekly. I have had to have my clothing altered as a result of losing inches and weight!l I now wear smaller sized jeans than I did in college and I am 66!!! I have unlimited energy after the workouts which challenge me but can be modified if needed. I am never bored as it is always a different workout and the time flies as done in ten minute intervals for an hour. The best part of my day is my workout at Synergy. If you are looking for a workout that gives you winning results check this place out! You will look better, feel better, and LOVE it!! read more

Synergy is a one of a kind experience. Everyone here is friendly and really helpful. Let me start by saying I have never been into working out or fitness until I discovered Synergy. Seriously. This place is like no other and I wish I started this YEARS ago. When you go in and meet for a 1x1 meeting you can express your fitness challenges and personal goals. Ask any questions. If you choose to sign up they will take your stats for progress check ins and there are many options for you and I think very affordable. It will be some of the best money you spend on yourself. The classes are so worth it! I am never bored and workouts are always different and challenging. This is not a normal gym! It small dedicated awesome personal training and I love it. 9 minutes of cardio 1 minute rest and 9 minute floor training workouts are amazing. I can't speak highly enough of all of the staff here. Sean is my favorite instructor and the one I have been signing up for classes with the longest. This is a non intimidating space, staff, and always a great group of people. Your age or fitness level do not matter. These guys will alter your specific movements for your comfort. I can't wait for my next workout! read more

I joined Syn Club after taking a one-year hiatus from exercise and healthy eating. My weight had ballooned and I was really noticing the negative impact on my overall health and well-being. I am excited to report that in just the first 3 months I have lost 15 pounds and I am down two sizes. I also feel much better physically, I have more energy and I sleep better. The format of the training is much more effective than personal training I've received in the past. The equal parts of cardio and strength training definitely make a difference (versus typical training sessions that focus on strength training with only a short cardio warm-up). I also appreciate that the routines change weekly - it helps to mix it up and keeps things interesting. And I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Syn Club! They work hard to keep you motivated, make you feel very comfortable, and even provide some comic relief during your sessions. But more importantly, they really care about their clients and want to see them succeed. If you have trouble staying motivated and are looking for an effective (and affordable!) training program, look no further than Syn Club in Waltham! read more

I'm 48 and middle age really struck this year. In my 20's and 30's working out was never an issue. The past few years have been a struggle to make the time and put forth the effort to keep up at the gym. Anyway, the introductory offer got me started. My third work out, I pushed myself too hard and had to lay off for a week. (my fault completely) The club manager was great. He checked on me several times and extended my membership another week. Now I have been going for over a month (I joined for 3 more months) and think they are terrific. This is not your typical work out. This is a total body work out to get you fit. The trainers know what they are doing and continually ask you to communicate if something is troublesome or too hard. They offer alternatives and you still finish a great work out. Every work out is different so you never get bored and sometimes discover hidden weaknesses. (when was the last time you tried walking side to side across a room?) I've had personal trainers. This is more fun and more effective. read more

This place is fantastic. Very welcoming, great trainers, challenging workouts and reasonably priced. The staff seems to make it a point to get to get to know everyone and will cheer for your success. Convenient hours and plenty of parking. I look forward to every class- and I hate the gym! read more

I joined Synergy in Waltham a year ago, and it is the one of the best decisions I've ever made. From day one, I felt embraced by the warm and welcoming sense of community that Synergy provides. Brad Bishop, and the trainers, Emilia and Sean, are extremely supportive, encouraging and motivating to every single person, regardless of age, size or fitness level. Before going to Synergy, I barely knew I had a core. Now, not only have I discovered my core but I engage it in everything I do from heavy lifting to climbing the stairs. Feeling physically stronger has made me feel mentally stronger. Over the past few months, Brad, Emilia and Sean have worked tirelessly to create and lead virtual workouts that provide an equivalent workout to being there in person. Synergy has been a lifeline for me throughout the pandemic, providing both a physical and mental health outlet and a sense of connection to other Synergy members many of whom are very funnny! I can't say enough good things about Synergy and the incredibly caring and hard-working owner and trainers that work there. I am so grateful. read more

I found Syn-clubs online by researching trainers in the area. In speaking with them, I was struck by how much time and attention they paid to my personal goals, past injury history, and by their general overall knowledge of exercise physiology. I signed up just over two months ago and have been training 3 times a week and am loving it! Every workout is different from the last, and each trainer that I work with is so enthusiastic, attentive, encouraging and upbeat! It had been a very long time since I exercised regularly, but after just one month, I felt so much stronger and healthier, and had lost 12 lbs! Aside from the weight loss, my energy and muscle tone are greatly and visibly improved. It is truly a very effective training program, and it is affordable, and enjoyable as well. Thanks Syn-clubs for getting me back on track and motivated to be healthy again! read more

I've been a member for almost 2 months. What I like is I make my own appointments online, there's usually a time available that's convenient for me to work out. You arrive, meet your trainer for your 1 hour session, they know your name and they're ready for you with your custom workout for the day. The trainers are friendly, they don't yell at you, they are very encouraging and knowledgeable about all the exercises. My weight is consistently getting lower and more important, my body fat is going down and my clothes are fitting better. read more

Whether you are looking to take the next step in fitness, want to transform into a better you, or you just want to lose weight, SYN is the place for you. I joined SYN because I wanted a more challenging workout and a better gym experience. I was sick of going to the gym and spending two hours a day doing the same workouts. I was looking for someone to push me in ways that I could not push myself. I was bored with the typical commercial gym. SYN has surpassed my expectations and has changed my perspective on fitness. I am a former athlete who joined SYN to tone the body and shed a few inches. I wanted to get back to the old me. Throughout my life as a dancer, gymnast, and a highly competitive cheerleader, I endured workouts that were so intense that I went into every practice sore and unsure of how I would get through it. My coaches pushed me to do things physically that I never thought I was capable of. This type of feeling is what I was looking to get from SYN. My expectations were already set extremely high. Being one of the younger members in the gym, I was initially worried that this would affect my workouts. Instead, I became a form of inspiration and a challenge to others. Being a SYN member means more than going to the gym, working out, and going home. These people genuinely care about YOU and your daily life from the start of your experience to the end of your workout. They know your name before you even walk in the door for your first workout. Each trainer takes the time to get to know you on a more personal level. This is important, due to the fact that this helps them get to know what type of person you are, and then aids in helping them truly transform you to the person you want to become. They know your goals, and they do everything they possibly can to help you achieve them. Aside from the fact that I am constantly looking forward to my next workout, the difference here is that this gym works on an appointment basis. You feel as though you have to go. Fortunately, this is what we all need. Each and every workout is completely customized to my physical ability. Every workout is a challenge, and I never know what my workout is going to look like as it changes daily. This is crucial in keeping you interested and motivated. Other members of the gym are always complimenting and motivating you throughout your workouts. Trainers help and teach you about nutrition. There are monthly competitions, members of the month awards, marathon sign-ups, and unlimited resources on health and fitness. They want you to get the absolute best out of your experience. The truth is, SYN provides a life changing experience. As long as you fulfill your monthly sessions and do what they tell you to do, you will see results. You don't know how fun and beneficial working out can be until you experience a gym like SYN. SYN is where your transformation begins. Get inspired, motivated, and most importantly make change happen. read more

I had read about this club over the years but was reluctant to join because of some of the reviews here, and because it seemed a little pricey, but last year, after BSC raised their monthly rate and needing more motivation i decided to try it out on a monthly special and i am glad i did. everyone here is fantastic, seriously, from brad the owner who did my initial assessment and is one of the most positive, upbeat and pleasant owners bar none, to jackie who runs the front office and is always so helpful, accommodating and friendly,-- and then there are the trainers, sean, jimmy and cynthia, who are all great in their own way, unlike most gyms/studios where you have some trainers who are better that the others, each one of them has their own style of teaching, but they are all superb; they know their stuff, are encouraging and pay attention so that you're not slacking, or hurting yourself. and even though it may seem pricey to start-when you average it out, it is the best $ you'll spend. 3 sessions a week with them has gotten me in better shape, (down 2 sizes and feeling better without doing anything else other than showing up), than going to BSC on my own 4-5 times a week. you get what you pay for. and yes, they only have one bathroom to change, but it's never been a problem because there are only 4 people per session. they keep the place really clean, and their system of 1 hour non stop interval cardio and strength makes the the time fly by. it has a real community feel and it's great to have these trainers motivating you and keeping it honest. i highly recommend you check them out. read more

Emphasis on money, turnover with trainers ,place is too small, pricey when you think of limited hours available for doing cardio

the pros: -the staff is very nice, extremely helpful -it is an effective workout -it's pretty cheap, for what it is the cons: -it is also an incredibly boring workout. I hate treadmills/bikes/etc anyway, but there's not even a TV to zone out to. staring at the wall while I jog makes me want to stick a fork in my eye. -it is not a balanced workout. there would often be days that my "itinerary" had me working biceps, but not triceps. when I signed up they said they make sure every exercise you do would hit multiple muscle groups, but that was not true at all. -only one bathroom. no locker room, no place to lock up your stuff. maybe I'm the only person who would go there straight from work -not open Sundays note: you still need to be pretty self-motivated. the trainers are looking after up to 4 people at once, so their attention isn't always on you. it's not like having your own personal trainer who will push you. neither a pro nor a con, just something to be aware of. good luck! read more

Pricier than a regular gym, but this one's a gem. You schedule 3 appointments a week and work out with a personal trainer. Yes, that's right, if you go 3x a week like all good like gym-goers should, you get a personal trainer for $10 a session. Frequently I have a trainer to myself, but the max amount of people is 3 per trainer - and that works out really well too. It's a pretty sweet deal and cheaper than my yoga class. I like this place a lot, it's small, clean, professional, and I'm encouraged to work-out a lot harder than I would if I was working out myself. They change the work-outs a lot, so you never get bored. Plus, since your heart rate is up from the fast weights, you only have to do ~20 mins of cardio. Cardio machines each have their own little TV which is handy, (America's next top model is ALWAYS on) and you can schedule appointments online. I move mine around a lot due to work schedules, and it's not been a problem. All in all, great place with great trainers. read more

I've been trying to get back into my size 6 clothes for approximately 2 years. SynClub got me back on track. Sessions are scheduled online for 3 times a week. The appointments help keep me focused and motivated to return on a regular basis. The staff is knowledgeable and personable. There are weekly weigh-ins, (if you choose to participate) to help keep you focused on your goals. In just a little over 2 months, I've lost 12 lbs, 3 inches off my waist and 3.5 inches off my hips!! I'm just about back in my size 6 clothes! Just in time for Spring! read more
