While they do not offer food or beverage service , they do encourage you to bring your own. We brought champagne and orange juice and the spa, kindly accommodated us by keeping our drinks, chilled, as well as providing glassware and a chiller, so that we could enjoy cocktails within the coed, relaxation lounge. The women's locker room was well appointed with plenty of lockers , showers, changing areas and restrooms. The couples massage and facial were both excellent, and our service providers were professional, friendly, and well trained. My only complaint is that the spa also offers workout classes and while I think this is wonderful, the fact that I can hear the classes while I am inside of the relaxation lounge does not help me relax . The noise from the classes distracts from the peaceful ambience.

SCAM! I am absolutely disgusted with how Exhale Spa handled this. I purchased a $300 gift card…read moreafter speaking directly with one of their sales representatives over the phone, who actively promoted a gift card discount and encouraged me to take advantage of it. I decided to splurge because of that promotion. She even specifically told me about their Tuesday-Thursday discounted spa/facial rate of $172 instead of the regular $215 price. What she conveniently failed to disclose was that Exhale then forces customers to pay a mandatory 20% gratuity calculated on the FULL price of the service, plus another 5% facility fee--and I was told that I CANNOT EVEN USE MY $300 GIFT CARD TO PAY THESE MANDATORY CHARGES. They do not even allow you to leave a cash tip. So Exhale was perfectly happy to take from me while promoting their discounted services, but somehow neglected to mention the additional mandatory charges I would have to pay out of pocket in order to actually use the gift card for those services. Apparently this is buried in the fine print on their website. Had this been disclosed to me, I NEVER would have purchased the gift card. I asked for a refund because I cannot afford these services once all of these undisclosed mandatory charges are added on top. Instead of acknowledging how misleading this was, manager Kayla actually left me a voicemail suggesting I could use my $300 gift card to buy skincare products instead. Are you kidding me? I did not spend $300 on SPA gift card because I wanted $300 worth of skincare products. I bought it specifically to receive spa services based on the pricing their own representative quoted to me. This entire experience feels incredibly deceptive. If customers are required to pay substantial additional fees out of pocket that their gift card cannot even cover, that should be disclosed clearly BEFORE taking hundreds of dollars from them--not hidden in fine print and revealed only when they try to book. I feel completely misled and scammed. The refusal to refund me after the circumstances were explained only makes this worse. I would never recommend Exhale Spa or any of their locations after this experience. Customers deserve transparency before handing over their money.

Really disappointing experience here. Instructors are sub par, though Sunday restore class was ok…read more Front desk staff could not be any less interested in you - as a new student no tour, no friendly hellos, no instructions. Here is why I won't be going back to the studio - it was raining when I walked in, put my umbrella in the yoga mat bag, then shoes in shoe cubby then coat in top. Told front desk lady (who again could not be any less interested). Walked out of the class and some member moved everything to the other cubby zone - THIS UNACCEPTABLE! No one told me, no one stopped her. Why is someone touching my stuff and making a decision on where to move thing, when I specifically told front desk lady (who said nothing) that's that's where my stuff will be as otherwise I will likely forget the umbrella (that's why I put it in the yoga mat bag). No one asked for permission this other lady attending the class just made a decision to move without asking without announcing. I was asking where my stuff is when I walked out of the class, front desk lady had no idea. Again completely unacceptable - no one touches someone else's stuff without announcement or permission to do so! Especially post covid!

Only annoyance is the bathroom is down a hallway around the back of the studio, it's a bit weird. Hand sanitizer pumps in the studio would be helpful.

The mom and baby classes are excellent - there's yoga on Tuesdays and barre on Thursdays and the instructors are terrific. Very relaxed classes, no big deal if baby cries or you need to nurse, etc. They also have special classes and series regularly, which is nice. Very accessible on the 92 or 93 bus line (runs downtown - Haymarket to financial district - to/from Charlestown). Not the cheapest - $20 for a drop-in. But I think it's worth it.

Everyone does their part to keep the equipment clean which is easy due to the supplies left out by the staff. I emailed the manager of the gym with a question before joining and he was quick to respond and answered everything. I have never had to wait for equipment due to the abundance of treadmills, bikes and weights. Getting to the gym can be hard! Beacon Hill Athletic Club makes it easier.

I wish I found Everybody Fights FiDi sooner when I moved to Boston !…read more Everybody Fights gets you in/out for a HITT workout. At the beginning of each class, the instructors encourage anyone new to the gym or to them to introduce themselves to the instructors who will explain what is about to happen. Everybody Fights promotes its community atmosphere, and I have felt that since my first class. One instructor had come up to me after my second class with her and not only told me I had done a great job in class but also remembered my name ! In comparison to other gyms in the area, I like I can take unlimited classes for $159 (in comparison to others who offered only 8-class pass for +$200). The FiDi location does have towels, showers, lockers included. I mostly go after work to Everybody Fights, but will travel from Allston if I want a weekend workout and find the gym worth it to travel that distance.

As a disclaimer, I didn't do any boxing but went for EBF's ROAD class, which is treadmill + various…read morestrength moves. Get ready for the inevitable comparison to Barry's, the benchmark I use for any class that combines those two things. Where EBF is better: --I really appreciated the smaller class format where it's only a few students (less than 10) and the instructor. Relatedly, the other people taking the class were very nice and there was more of a community feel than the vibe in Barry's where you basically keep your head down and do the workout. --The area with the treadmills had so much natural light and a view of the street, whereas the Barry's red room is dark and can get claustrophobic if you're myopic like me and can't always see where the treadmill edge in front of your feet ends. --Not only did the instructor demo each move, but if you forgot, you could always look up at the screen to see the moves listed. --Really liked the quick warm-up before the running started. Where Barry's is better: --The treadmills at EBF were on the older end and took some time to get up/down to speed. Now that Barry's has upgraded to new Woodways, I could feel the difference. --The programming at Barry's for the strength component was a lot more varied - in the ROAD class, we only did 2-3 ab moves (and each were super short) and six strength moves (including a bear crawl on the treadmill that had me legit gasping). I'm the sort of person who prefers quantity but if you prefer doing the same moves in multiple sets, go with EBF. --The instructor's cue-ing could have been clearer. For most of the treadmill intervals, we were told how long each was but I love a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown and there were moments where I had no idea how long was left without sneaking a peek at the timer on the screen. I also don't think the interval where we were all-out sprinting and then jumping on the rails is safe when you have people side-by-side on the treadmills. Overall I'd stick with Barry's but I'd give the boxing classes at EBF a try.

Totally full of themselves thinking they can charge ridiculous prices for a gym and personal…read moretraining. Wanted to charge me $1260 more than a friend of mine that signed up two months earlier. That is per year! All told they wanted to charge $3780 per year when my friend pays $2520 per year. On top of that they wanted to charge me $8160 for 48 training sessions which is $170/hr. I would have more than likely paid for the trainers because they are known for this, but when they cannot give you a similar rate to what others are paying because they think you have the money is ridiculous. Especially when you are prepared to spend $8160 on just the PT. All told that is $11940 for 16 weeks of PT and one year at the gym. That is a lot of money for anyone to put down. With this amount of money I was able to get two weeks of health spa vacations in La Jolla, CA and I am talking to several independent trainers that have made names for themselves in the area and will get 16 weeks from them. It took me a bit to find out who is who and who the best PT trainers are in the area. Certainly not at Equinox since the trainer they were going to assign me too you cannot find any information about them. So for me I am now spending ... $280 at Planet Fitness for Black Card $4320 for 48 PT session, plus 3 more for free $6400 for two weeks at an all-inclusive health resort in CA $560 for round trip tickets Total all together is $11560 which is $380 less and much more enjoyable than Equinox. Let's check the checklist. 1) Year long gym membership with access to every gym at Planet Fitness has around the world 2) 16 weeks, 3 days a week of PT training with a top trainer 3) 2 weeks at a health spa resort 4) Oh yeah, traveling to California On a related note, I was a member of this gym years ago. They played funny games with me where they allowed people that live more than a certain distance away to get out of their contract with no problems. I was well beyond that distance. Instead, they changed my address to their location at 225 Franklin Street and tried to tell me I was not able to get out of the gym membership because I lived at the same building as the gym. I had to report them to the attorney general to get out of the membership. I would not have gone back if it hadn't been so many years and my business partner and life coach recommended that I go for the PT. Just goes to show that a leopard cannot change their spots. Avoid this gym! There are better gyms out there.
