I was a bit worried about trying out this Gym because of a bad experience with a different company…read morein the area. I guess I was thinking they would all be the same. Wow! I am so glad I tried Choice Fitness. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt very comfortable here. The Manager saw me looking around and politely asked if he could help with anything. I explained that I was basically a novice when it came to weight training, but I wanted to try. I also explained that I had a particular training plan that another outside trainer created specially for me. Dave was so accommodating. He took me through each routine of my plan, showing me proper form, proper speed, and explained what muscles each exercise was working. He spent time with me on two separate days and went through all the exercises on my plan. I was really impressed by how friendly and knowledgeable he was. I never set an appointment for any of this. Just walked in the door. From what I've seen, this Gym is truly all about customer service. I'm so glad I joined. I only wish this 52 year old found this place sooner. Also, the equipment is all new and they have so much of everything! The facility is super clean. I feel I have finally found a Gym that makes everybody feel comfortable. Five star all the way!

My experience with Garrett E. in Chelmsford was extremely disappointing. I found his approach…read moreoverly sales- focused and driven, and when I raised my concerns about how the training sessions were not clearly explained to me, he became very dismissive, lacking empathy and an overall "could not care less" attitude. His eagerness to cancel rather than address my concerns ultimately contributed to my decision to leave after being a long time member. Clearly, they are all about the profit. I am now looking for a gym that values its members and treats their concerns with respect.

I joined Iron Gym back in April, and it's honestly been one of the best decisions I've made. The…read moreequipment is great and having the cold plunge and sauna is such a huge plus. I also personally think I have the best trainer in the world -- Shya! She's been amazing and has made my experience here even better. I've been a member at bigger gyms before, but I've really come to appreciate the smaller, community feel at Iron Gym. It feels welcoming, personal, and a place I actually look forward to going to.

I USED to love this place and went here on-and-off for 3 years. So much so that I would literally…read morespend hours here. I would lift then work on laptop afterwards because I loved the environment and am working all the time and don't have much else going on and never really plan on when I'm gonna leave. They even gave me the WiFi password. It was great until the owner "Gus", confronted me like I was a criminal about why I staying so late afterwards and then accused me of asking out one of the gym members (with worse details) which never happened and didn't believe me about my days off of work. Instead of just being normal and telling me weeks prior that I can't stay late after a workout he and presumably the other staff assumed I was watching them or something. I have a super bad social learning disorder so I'm terrible at reading social cues and at ANY moment in time they could've resolved this like professionals but instead they tried to intimidate me. Not only was I respectful to the entire the staff, I was one of the few people who respected people's privacy by not recording myself. Congratulations, you not only lost a longtime customer, now everyone knows how you treat people who don't fit into the influencer club. At least now they showed their true colors. This is what happens when things get managed by influencers. Fuck you Gus.

Visited this Planet Fitness a couple of times during a recent work trip to the Boston area, and I…read moreended up returning to this location even though there were several other Planet Fitness gyms nearby, since I liked it so much. The gym is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking, which made getting in and out easy. The entrance, front desk area, and overall facility felt clean, open, and welcoming. The equipment was in good condition and appeared well-maintained. One thing I always notice at a gym is whether people re-rack their weights, and that seemed to be the case here, which is usually a good sign of a respectful gym community. The locker rooms were also clean and well-kept. Compared to the 15-20 Planet Fitness locations I've visited over the years, this location feels a bit older and may not have received some of the upgrades I've seen at newer clubs, especially on the West Coast. It doesn't have some of the newer equipment options, such as squat racks, bench presses, or a few of the other additions I've seen elsewhere. I also noticed the tanning area features traditional lay-down beds rather than the standing units that some newer locations offer. That said, none of those things would stop me from coming back. The gym is clean, the equipment is well-maintained, the atmosphere is comfortable, and it was consistently a pleasant place to work out. Overall, I thought this was a solid Planet Fitness location and one I would happily visit again when I'm in the area. 4/5

She seemed unconcerned eventually came over and said it always happens when it rains. Bur it hasn't rained in days! Upon my Insistence she put out buckets and caution sign like she was doing me a favor. This could prevent a slip lady.

Three years ago I was 30 pound heavier and very unhappy with my appearance. I looked at my photos…read morefrom my son's wedding and was embarassed by my size 14 MOG dress that had to be let out to fit properly. Try as I might before the wedding I could not lose even a few pounds to make that dress fit. I was desperate. Never able to diet properly or feel comfortable in a "big gym" ($9.99 a month) A friend mentioned she was joining a new gym and asked me to go along with her. From the moment I stepped into GISFW I knew the program would help me. I have been a member of this gym for nearly 3 years! Have lost 30 pounds and have kept it off. I feel stronger and more confident. I have met women of all ages (16 - 75) and body types (very heavy - marathoners) There is a place for everyone because the trainers get to know you on a personal level. Read on if you want to know what Get In Shape for Women is really like. I have been going to this gym at least 3 times a week for the past 3 years and have trained with the owner as well as many different trainers, all closely supervised by the owner. Each time I train, if I give it my all, I leave sweaty, a bit sore but full of energy and confidence. This is not a typical gym. The owner, Terri, has dedicated her life to fitness and nutrition. She inspires, motivates, encourages and yes, harasses her clients. That is what many of us need. If you want to be coddled go into therapy. If you want good health and strength you need someone like Terri who will teach, push, and monitor you. The program is perfect for the busy woman who feels like she does not have time for a workout. If you can spare just an hour a day you can fit this program in to your schedule. I go on my way home from work, perfect for me. The gym works because of accountability. You have an appointment with a trainer. These are firm commitments. I would never skip my hairdresser or dental appointment without calling to cancel. The GISFW gym expects the same courtesy and commitment. I feel very guilty every time I have to call and cancel or reschedule. The trainer on the phone always tries to get me to reschedule instead of letting me skip a workout. This is good for me, it means I am committed and my workout is important. My typical workout is 30 minutes of intense weight training then 30 minutes of cardio with interval training. Both have been very effective for me. I may train with up to 3 other women but there have been times when I get the trainer all to myself. Imagine a personal trainer every time you work out! Even if you are sharing the trainer with 2 or 3 other women, you feel the personal attention. GISFW trainers watch clients closely and help them with good form, proper posture and adequate weight. They always challenge me but do not let me slack off. Women working out are just like children, we will look for opportunities to take short cuts. This will not happen at GISFW and that is why many, many women renew their memberships and continue to train there. After my second year at GISFW I thought I could save money and go to the "big gym" and train myself. I knew all the exercises to do and felt confident GISFW had given me the knowledge to train myself. I was so wrong. The first month I used the elliptical each visit but then was so intimidated to cross over into the weight training area. I did not see many women in that part of the gym. I sought out personal training at the "big gym " and learned that sessions with a trainer there were just as expensive as GISFW. So now I am back at GISFW and plan to keep going indefinitely. I can make it work in my budget because I value my health. It is a very expensive investment and not your typical gym. The cost also motivates me to keep going. It was easy to skip days at the $9.99 a month gym. It was also easy to be anonymous at that gym. I like feeling like a valued member who is greeted by name each visit. I need someone to follow my progress and give me nutritional tips. I value the workouts that Terri and her trainers are constantly researching and changing to keep me motivated. At my daughter's wedding my size 10 dress fit perfectly and I felt great. I am so grateful to GISFW for showing me that I can be fit and healthy if I work for it. Have a Healthy Day!

Thank you to the Chelmsford Get In Shape staff, especially the owner, Terri. I have been…read moreassociated with this GISFW for over 2 years now which is a statement that speaks for itself... For me personally, my admiration for Terri and her group evolves around their dedication to assist, advise, educate, encourage and stimulate me towards reaching my goals. I have found their nutrition counseling, recipes and frequent emails a very positive addition to the varied and invigorating workout sessions. I give this studio a big thumbs up! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started my journey with Bob in '09 and worked with him for about a year and a half. My focus was…read moreon weight loss and overall fitness. I had some limitations due to an injury to and replacement of my hip so, while I was very motivated, I wasn't sure whether I could take full advantage of the program. I was so wrong. Not only did I drop about 40 lbs., I also got to a point of fitness that I never imagined given my limitations. I had been a gym rate before doing mostly spinning and the treadmill and some boot camp classes. It was boring but I did enjoy it. I had never done any real cross training like I did with Bob and once I started, he had me so motivated and driven, I wanted to do everything to my fullest potential. And it was SO fun! He was extremely knowledgeable about how to handle working around injuries and was also able to modify most exercises so that I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. He listened to me and I trusted that he wasn't putting me at risk for any injuries. He was so invested in my success that I didn't want to disappoint him. The studio is neat and organized and the bathroom and shower is clean. I like that there is only 1 other person in the studio. For anyone looking to be healthy, whether for weight management or to optimize your fitness, this is the place to go. We don't have a lot of options in our area and even if we did, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Can't wait to go back now that I've had my surgery!!!

I found One2One BodyScapes in Westford, MA via a Yelp search, and I am so glad that I did! I took…read moreone of their introductory training specials and realized that one-to-one personal training was a great match for me, and that I was ready to make the investment in my own health. In the short time I have been there, almost 1 month, I have already noticed a significant improvement to my fitness and energy level, and I have lost 5 pounds. (Hopefully, just the beginning!) The trainers are highly skilled and excellent. I have worked with Krista, John and Resa, and they all make the workouts fun, yet challenging with a mixture of aerobic and weight conditioning customized for me. The hour flies by! There is no problem switching between trainers based on my schedule. They are very flexible about this. The facilities are excellent and always clean. It's convenient for me to workout, take a shower, and then head to the office - starting my day in a healthy manner and giving me an energy boost for work. I found this is also helping me cope with increased stress levels from my work. I am sure I am not the only one who finds themselves too busy to workout in a "normal" gym environment. Making an appointment to workout with a skilled trainer appeals to me, as it forces me to show up, just as I would for a doctor or dentist appointment. Knowingly myself, this is really the only way I can fit a workout into my busy schedule. Personal training is not an inexpensive option, but how does one put a price on having higher energy for work and family, losing weight, and hopefully living a longer and healthier life? Rather than always giving, sometimes you have to make a choice to invest in yourself. I feel this has been the right choice for me, and I highly recommend BodyScapes to others if you find yourself in need of extra motivation to get to the gym and workout consistently.
