The environment the team has created is tough, motivating, and empowering, while still being incredibly inclusive. The classes push you in all the right ways, and every trainer here is fantastic, supportive, and knowledgeable. You leave feeling accomplished in the best possible way. All of the trainers here are amazing, but I have to say that training with Maddie personally has been the biggest gift. I have never been this strong in my entire life, and it's because of her encouragement, knowledge, and belief in me. She meets you where you're at and helps you become the strongest version of yourself. I'm so grateful for this community and for Maddie. If you're thinking about joining--do it. You'll gain strength, confidence, and a group of people who cheer you on every step of the way.

I don't like to ski and I have had a strong dislike of gyms. Walking up the stairs to check it out, I heard the familiar sounds of a gym - the slamming clang of a weight dropping and the driving beat of music. At this point, I am thinking, what the heck am I doing? I got to the top of the stairs and was so pleasantly surprised. It is clean, bright, doesn't smell, and is not at all intimidating. I love the machines! Much better than what I remember from past experiences. The members are all different ages, and very nice, considerate people. And then there is Marion. I have never had a personal trainer - always found it too expensive. She is reasonably priced and it has made an entire difference in my experience. I am getting so much more out of the gym than I would if I hadn't had a trainer. She teaches me how to properly use each machine. I haven't used her to push me - not yet. Marion is very knowledgeable, is a natural teacher and knows how to encourage me. Before I conclude, I need to mention Louise, the owner. She truly loves what she does and has built a business that she should be proud of. I am grateful for having such an awesome gym. Don't delay. Join this place!

I am looking around for a new gym. Seems like I find a gym and then life throws me a ball and I am…read morein search of another gym. So I came here using my 1 week free pass to check it out before I commit to a year (or 2) membership. There are two levels with the changing rooms and spin room on the lower level with the main check in desk. The upper level has the fitness room, cardio equipment and weights. This is a fairly small local place but is in clean decent shape. They do have up to date equipment and offer some good classes. The spin classes in the morning at 6 are full with a wait list. Although it is hard to get in the fact that it is full speaks for itself. I myself haven't taken a class and am thinking about it but augh 6 am to be on a bike. These folks really mean it! I've taken the step class and the Zumba and they were awesome. I def got my cardio work out. I am still need to test run a few others but this place may work. It is close to the commuter rail so getting off the train and right over for a work out is doable (not sure if this is a word). They do have a pool although I am not a swimmer. The weight room is a bit small but they have the basics and there are a mix of people at different times. Not sure I am finding the right workout group yet. I am looking for an energetic group of folks to help get me motivated and kick me into gear to get off my butt. I am not sure this is it. They will give you a lock for the lockers when you give them your keys and you can use the supplies such as hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, shower soap too since all are fully stocked and right in the showers. It is clean and private. There is plenty of parking and the area seems safe and fairly well lit. I am still looking...

As a runner I was looking for a workout that would help me strengthen my running not only thru…read morerunning drills but also an all body workout. Plus coaches who were knowledgeable enough to help improve form and be supportive without trying to control very last thing. And I was looking for a gym/program/studio that had a community and actively fostered it. OTF Natick has been the perfect location and has the ideal team to give me what I need when I need it. It says something that members themselves have evolved into coaches who know the ins and outs of working thru a 60-minute workout. While the running drills on the treadmills are my 'bread and butter', it's the rower and the floor where I get the biggest benefit. The routines are varied day to day. Different focus and different personal challenges. You're never trying to keep up with the person next to you (although everyone I workout next to inspires me to go a little harder). The strength and endurance workout on floor and rower push me and improve me every time. By the time I get on a tread (I do this last to practice running fatigued), I'm warmed up and able to push myself that bit harder. Recent results? I've decreased my road miles from 20 to about 12 a week to do the OTF Transformation Challenge at the moment. So most runs are 1.5-2 miles in the 3G classes I typically do. Last Sunday participated in a 5M race I've done for the last 6 years. Beat my best time on the course by 15 seconds. That's the results from OTF Natick But what makes the studio hum is the energy that the coaches bring into every class. They have built (I've been a member there for 3 years and workout among many who've been regulars since the studio opened) a real community feel to every workout. There is the mingling pre-class, the class outline with what to watch for and highlights (and possible lowlights). In class warm up, station by station walk thrus and in-block encouragement. But what always amazes me is the way the coach spreads their attention to the details of every participants workout. Not by crowding in on an individual or calling people out from across the room. Just the subtle, quiet hint or tip on how to fix form or increase a challenge. Always encouraging. Always celebrating. The studio under Jam has elevated an already great atmosphere and community feeling to new levels - creating a communal atmosphere thru social channels (the recent Transformation Challenge Miles Logged week had people logging miles at all hours of the day in an effort to boost their team score) & notes of gratitude for staff and members alike in the studio lobby. If you're like me, you want a gym or workout that doesn't intimidate. That challenges you to your next best level. And that lifts you when you need it, celebrates when you win the smallest of achievements, and embraces you for who you are and what you bring to each class. That is what I've found at OTF Natick and with their top team of coaching and support staff.

I joined OTF Natick back in November last year. I started with a free trial class and definitely my…read morefirst class was very challenging and Coach Marissa was able to help me out in my first class. I initially took the elite package ( 8 classes per month ) with the aim of taking up two classes per week as I had a gym membership at another gym as well. I went for a couple of months and I really started enjoying the classes. I always felt all the coaches kept motivating me to keep pushing and I kept improving in every class. Once I was done with around 16 classes I thought of upgrading to the Unlimited classes package with the aim of going to at least three classes per week but I ended up going for at least five classes a week. I never thought I would be able to come this far when I started otf. The classes are planned in such a way that you never get bored and you are always challenged to give your best. Many a times I come to the class thinking I should take it light but the moment the class starts I feel motivated. So far I had attended all the classes like 2g, 3g, lift 45 and every class is so unique and helps you to focus on cardio as well as strength training. Currently I am doing the transformation challenge and I make it a point to stay consistent and I feel otf has really improved my endurance and strength in general and keeps me active throughout the day. Special mention to my coaches Sarah, Nikki, Marissa, Jam each and everyone is amazing and sometimes I feel it's more like a dance class than a workout class . Our studio manager Nicole as well as the folks in the front desk are so welcoming. I definitely recommend otf Natick to anyone who wants to add a healthy and a fun fitness journey into their daily routine.

I started with Fitness Together a year and a half ago after being frustrated with back pain and…read moreslightly high blood pressure. I was 28 years old, had finished dental school and was running my own office. The stress had built up and my body was beginning to feel it. My doctor told me I had 6 months to get my blood pressure down or else I was looking at medications to control. Being 28 yrs old, I was discouraged I had the body of a 60 yr old. A patient of mine referred me to Fitness Together and within 2 months my back pain was gone. They adjusted my workout to build my core and counter the work related trauma I was causing by repetitive stress injuries related to dentistry. Moreover, by my 6 month appointment with my physician to check my blood pressure, I was back to 124/80. My doctor was shocked, as was I. I told her I was going to Fitness Together, but I wasn't sure how long I was going to continue. She put it to me this way, either you continue with Fitness Together or you end up on medication. But I was healthier, felt better, and more fit. I've been with them now for over a year, and highly recommend them. This note is over due, but last week I developed tendonitis in my right hand, and strained my right shoulder. John from Fitness Together again readjusted my workout and within a few days my shoulder was back to normal. I don't know how to thank them enough for all their help. Mina Joseph Kaddis, DMD

If your looking for a great workout, amazing classes, A great community, and a kick ass fitness staff this is the place. I'm new here and have gone to two classes so far and they both kicked my ass. The open gym has all the equipment you might need and there is plenty of open space to work out in plus heavy bags, speed bags, and two rings. The negatives since that is what we read the review for (to see if a can live with the negatives) there are no showers so going before work can be a challenge. But they have a good afternoon and evening schedule for after work. Also they are really laid back. Which is great because I didn't feel pressure to join and sign a two year agreement and buy a bunch of equipment. But at the same time my wife and I went twice to sign up and it was hard to get someone to take our money. But they did and we are loving it so far. Highly recommend kick-boxing.
