Fitness Unlimited is right down the street from me but I have never actually stepped foot inside…read moreuntil recently when I took a spin class here via ClassPass. Checking in was super easy. 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 love Muscle & Flow!…read more I have been coming here since last July and It's a great gym with just about anything you need. They have 4 floors with boxing downstairs in the basement, bathrooms, lockers, and lobby area on their main floor, gym equipment with machines, cables, treadmills, etc on their 3rd floor, and on the top floor they offer yoga classes & pilates reformers sectioned off for C2 Body (sign up is separate). The music playing throughout the gym varies, depending on who is working but generally the music is great. Usually rap or upbeat music. When there is no class in session, you're able to utilize the boxing bags downstairs and also the top floor where yoga classes are usually held. I enjoy stretching and doing core on the top floor when the space is free & connect to aux to play music through the speakers! Parking: There's plenty of 2 hour street parking on Eliot St & parking spots right in front of the gym. In the girls' locker room, they have two bathrooms, each with a shower, and have mints, tampons, body lotion, & deodorant. Great gym to get workouts in and the staff are super kind, as well as helpful. Only thing I wish was that they could be open an extra hour later.

Amazing place! Not anything like other gyms. Not only are these people true professionals, the…read moreamount of individual attention you get cannot be surpassed. Issac designed two different routines for me based on the results of the diagnostics that he did with me at the beginning. Now I am coming in to work on those routines three times a week. There are four trainers at the gym. Even if you are working out on your own, they are always looking at you to see if you need help or feedback. All the trainers are fabulous and each of them knows your assigned routine as they have two meetings a week to review each client's progress amoung themselves. If I were looking to focus on losing weight, they are running classes in the evening to help with that. If you are able and willing to spend more money you will be working with a trainer individually which cannot be beat. If you are paying $150, you get a monthly training session with a trainer to review progress and adjust your routine. The place is small, not crowded. There aren't many machines as you use your own body weight a lot. In summary, fabulous place, go go go here, you will not regret it and it is a great investment in yourself and your health.

I've been doing work-outs with Isaac for the last 2 months and I love it; once a week with a group class with similar aged men and once a week in a private class. Isaac has a great facility and he is an excellent trainer who puts a lot of thought and effort into the workouts he plans for us. I now feel stronger and more confident about my summer rugby tournaments and forthcoming triathlon. Try this place out. You won't regret it.

Quite honestly, just turning into a dump. Makes me wonder if that is why they changed the name, weren't keeping up with Gold's franchise standards? If this were a gym where the monthly fees were say $10-$15 well then you can roll with it, but for the price they charge it's unacceptable. When my membership is up I will be switching to a gym that charges less and is MUCH nicer, the extra 5 min. commute won't bother me for the level of customer service I will be getting

The worst I've seen is you can't use one machine for 1-2 mins. Very good classes/instructors. They have recently added a bunch of the Les Mills classes (Bodycombat, bodypump) The only knock I have is the evening classes start at 6:30. I'd like them earlier or later. I like price is right for what you get. It isn't the low cost option but if you want to take classes it is a great place and a good value. The place is a typical suburban gym a mix of meatheads, highschooler, mothers, retirees, and middle aged parents. No one group dominate the place. You can see yourself when you go here. The one negative is the men's bathroom. While not the worst gym I've seen, it could use more frequent cleanings and more ventilation.

Depending on the time of the year I feel like it gets more packed. When its summer time and kids don't have school most of them come and hang out here. Always keep track of the schedule for the coming months. They usually have it posted, it's always changing. For the most part they stick to the times of the schedules. I came here and played basketball a few times and its always the same people. It can get a little rowdy and competitive at times so if that isn't your thing, this might not be the place for you. As for the staff they have always been helpful with any questions I had. If you plan on discontinuing your membership just remember to give someone a heads up at the front desk. You have to give them notice 15 days or something before your next billing cycle to get your paper work done and on time. Just wish they had more room and courts. Everything was fairly clean and machines worked.

I strongly recommend finding a different gym to learn the Olympic lifts. While these guys do…read moreattract some attention from networking, running seminars and knowing technique, they are more concerned with making money and traveling than coaching their athletes. They also conduct business in a shady manner - offering no dispute resolution whatsoever - cash in, cash out. For example: Last month, Norwood Weightlifting accepted pre-payments from several members (myself included) for a full eight-week training cycle and then promptly vanished a month later to travel around the country and post videos on YouTube. I was never given a refund. Bottom line: the fact that the coaches don't care enough to even show up to meets when a handful of their athletes are competing speaks volumes about this place.

I find the other comment bashing this gym as a poor place to learn the olympic lifts maybe…read moremisguided. I trained here on a dedicated schedule for several months and dropped in many times over the years. This is a weightlifting training center, mainly to learn the olympic lifts (snatch and clean and jerk). This is not really a "gym" to go workout haphazardly, or do bodybuilding or some other style of exercise. Olympic weightlifting is a pressing focused sport that highly utilizes speed strength, acceleration and power. The main movements trained are the snatch and the clean and jerk. There is also a great deal of barbell training including squats, deadlifts and pressing movements along with general physical preparedness training. If you are serious about learning the discipline of Olympic Weightlifting, Norwood maybe a place for you to learn. They host a variety of Eleiko bars and bumpers. The rich history of Olympic lifting harbored within the walls of Norwood Training Center is tough to beat throughout the nearby gyms. There are several good gyms that offer great coaching in the Olympic lifts in New England and this is undoubtedly one of them. Most people who come here for training probably do not venture to the gym based on yelp reviews. It is more likely that they have seen the team lifting at local weightlifting meets, or heard of the gym through many of the successful national and international weightlifters who have trained at this facility (simply youtube video search the hookgrip media group to find a video featuring a few National Level athletes including Norwood's very own coach and New England Snatch record holder, Yasha Kahn, also training in the video are Olympic and World Champions Ilya Ilyin and Vasily Polovnikov who coached here for a time). The gym's owner Don Venterosa may be one of the original members of USAW, I think his member number might be in the low hundreds (they now have millions of registered members) and is deeply entrenched in weightlifting knowledge and experience. He really wants the athletes who train here to succeed. You may also find the legendary Denis Reno coaching or training at the facility, best known for his famous decades long and highly respected weightlifting newsletter. Dave Lussier, one of the strongest youth weightlifters with a multitude of records also brings his team of lifters here from time to time. I almost gave them a four star review because the parking situation can sometimes be a bit jumbled. Also, it gets busy some nights and you may need to share a platform with 3-4 other lifters and it can get a bit tricky. It is what might be considered an "old-school" weightlifting gym, as it is located in a garage bay next to an auto body shop. As inferred by one of the other reviews, you may not always have a coach present some days but always have access to one for any questions or concerns and remote coaching. The majority of athletes who I have trained with here are looking to be competitive on the local, regional or national level and take weightlifting very seriously. It maybe an intimidating place to learn, but if you can get past the difficulty surrounding the initial learning curve inherently experienced in weightlifting and have the discipline required to work at the techniques and principles consistently, Norwood is a great gym. This review is only to clarify the previous one star review and offer a contrasting perspective. You will certainly need a good deal of independence, confidence and socializing /people skills and a healthy dose of common sense since the weights being lifted here are usually in the higher calibers. If you feel like you need a more beginner/intro class to weightlifting I would suggest inquiring with Norwood Training center about setting up private sessions with a coach (they do offer that based on availability) until you feel ready enough to join the group training sessions or to continue with their remote coaching program. Don't be surprised if the first several weeks to months involve training with just the barbell or light weights, they take technique incredibly serious, and look to have you understanding the movements and performing them safely for quite some time before adding wrights and developing strength. It takes years to get good at Olympic weightlifting, no surprise many of the athletes here have been training for years at this facility and have found success in their efforts. Hope that helps.
