I enjoy visiting this gym every time I visit my in-laws in Melrose. Here's why:…read more1. Well maintained with fancy equipment. I enjoy tracking my heart rate and making sure I am trying to reach my max in every workout. If you are a first timer, it takes a little bit more time to customize your heart rate to your reader, but well worth it! 2. Awesome instructors like Sue and Thom! They motivated me and since I feel like I am always new, they gave me extra attention to make sure I was doing the exercises right and made me feel welcome! 3. There is a gym you can use in addition to the classes, which I never took advantage off, but it had cardio and strength machines. My only complaint is that the price of $25-30 per class can be steep! That pass is not really a day pass and covers one class only. It is best to take advantage of deals, like they have an awesome NY deal, or ClassPass. Overall, a great gym and you should try it for yourself, especially if you live in Melrose!

When we are not our best, they make you feel better! Such a positive environment. I laugh, complain, and laugh again during my workout. Other members are great and all trainers have been wonderful.

If you want to belong to a gym you may or may not go to, join a cheap one for $20 a month and throw away your fitness goals and money. But if you want to establish a feasible workout routine and make the most out of your workouts, join this gym. Before GISFW I never worked out regularly. I belonged to the YMCA but only went about 5 times in the year I had a membership. Now, I'm on a regular workout schedule 1 hour a day, 3 days a week which I've never had in my life. This place really helps you establish a routine and holds you accountable. If you're not showing up to appointments, there are consequences! When I don't workout on Monday, I actually miss it and I feel off. I'm so grateful to all the women (both staff and members) for making this a friendly, non-intimidating gym atmosphere. Half the time I'm getting a great ab workout from laughter! You can choose how often you want to work out, and fit it into own schedule. It's completely customizable to your needs. I can't say enough good things about this place. I highly recommend you do the free trial and come see what I'm talking about!

I've been searching for a gym in this area for a while, trying everything from cheap gyms with tons of equipment to class lead circuit training but nothing really worked for me or got me appreciating a workout until developing a routine here. My fitness level and how I've felt about my body has yo-yoed my whole life. During the pandemic I fell into a particularly lazy cycle and could not find motivation on my own to come out of it. I've worked with Mel, Mark, and James and have come out of all sessions feeling better (exhausted, but better) about my body. Although I'm usually a bit too out of breath to talk, every trainer is easy to talk to which obviously makes going into a work out way more enjoyable. They also each demonstrate professionalism and knowledge that make me confident that I'm making the right decision following this program and that I'm safe in each movement. Looking forward to continuing my 2x weekly routine here the foreseeable future!

I really enjoy this gym--my boyfriend and I have been members for some time now and the only…read moreproblem we ever had was with the TVs on the elliptical/treadmills not working (this was resolved long ago, thankfully!) They have a good number of cardio machines and weights along with a back room where you can watch work out programs (we really like this feature and have used it a few times). They also have bathrooms with showers (male and female). It's generally pretty quiet so we rarely have a hard time getting machines. The only reason I am docking them a star is because of their staffed hours. I understand they cannot be staffed 24/7, and I've personally never had a problem, but on a few occasions my boyfriend and I have been in the gym and noticed people loitering outside. On one occasion we left and the gentleman outside (who had been waiting outside for around 25 minutes) asked us if there was anyone inside and we said no. This was a Saturday and apparently he had called and they said they would be there from 11-3 (same hours posted on the door), but there it was 2:00 and no one was there. A similar event happened on another Saturday but it was earlier in the day, around 11:45 when we left the gym (again hours said 11:00-3:00) but no one was there. The poor guy had waited outside for quite some time and had obviously gone out of his way (we saw him go to his car, we can luckily walk over), only to find that no one was there to show him around/sign him up. Saturdays are obviously a busy day for sign ups/inquiries because a lot of people probably work late on weekdays and can't make it over. I think it would be a good idea to post signs on the door if the place won't be staffed as promised. Otherwise great gym! Maybe call ahead before you head down to sign up and make sure that someone will actually be there, though it seems they leave early sometimes so you never know?
