I've been a member of Club Pilates for over a year and Woburn is my home location. I love this…read morestudio! It is pretty new and always feels clean & fresh. The teachers are wonderful and there is a wide array of classes available based on your abilities. I have a few favorite teachers and I go to their classes weekly. I've tried other Pilates studios before but find club Pilates to have better equipment, their teachers to have longer training and the classes to be designed to meet you where you are while helping you improve. The location is so easy to get to as well.

I had the worst experience at the Woburn location, and I feel compelled to share it…read more My friends and I were so excited to try this studio, but from the moment we walked into the class, our instructor, Colleen P. made us feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. It was clear she was annoyed that there were 4 new members in her class. She actually started the session without even informing us that it had begun. When I politely said, "Oh, I didn't realize we had started," she snapped at me, saying, "That's the way I teach my class... THEY have all been here before, you need to keep up." I was stunned, and if my friends hadn't been there, I would have left right then and there. Things only got worse from there. At one point, Colleen publicly ridiculed my friend for not knowing a particular move, making her feel extremely embarrassed in front of the entire class. It was completely unprofessional and unnecessary. To make matters worse, after the class, I tried to voice my concerns to the manager, but another member interrupted our conversation. This person told me we had no business being there and that Colleen had informed the regulars to slow down because new people were in the class. Then, as if things couldn't get worse, this person literally challenged me to go outside and fight over a PILATES CLASS. Absolutely absurd. Needless to say, I will NEVER return to this location, nor will I attend any class with Colleen as the instructor. Her rude behavior set a negative tone for the entire class, and it's clear that her attitude trickled down to other members as well. We left that day having lost all interest in returning -- and that's four clients lost in an instant, plus three others who had planned on joining the following week. To top it off, not once did anyone from the studio reach out to apologize for the instructor's behavior. This experience was completely unacceptable, and I'm extremely disappointed.

I don't understand the negative reviews here! Just joined this gym today and did my first workout…read more I was looking for a place that's affordable, clean, conveniently located (I'm a few blocks away), has plenty of equipment, and doesn't pressure you to sign up for personal training, classes, etc. That's exactly what I got. At $19.99 a month (with no long term contracts), this is perfect for me. I can use the ellipticals, the bikes, the treadmills. And at this price, if I go three times a week, I'm still getting my money's worth. If you want glamor and glitz with a price tag to match, go to one of the "fancy" places. There are plenty of them out there. But if you're looking for a place to get in a workout without the nonsense, then check out this place. You won't be sorry!

LA Fitness gym in Stoneham is a pretty decent gym with Pros and Cons…read more I recommend LA Fitness gym for the facility. For the benefits... the gym is big and spacious, has nice amenities (sauna, pool, and hot tub), and recently got a big remodeling makeover. The facility looks much nicer. For the downsides... the gym is not a very friendly and sociable place; and not a place to make new friends. And the staff at the gym is usually friendly when you're signing up but after you're a member they ignore you. Stoneham might be a geographical location of unfriendly people. Before I joined LA Fitness gym, I went to BSC gym in Woburn for a good 7 years before the location closed down shortly after the pandemic. Boston Sports Club gym was awesome! A staff member would always say Hello when you walk in the gym when you scan your card. I used to say hi to dozens of people at the gym and chat briefly occasionally. Lots of staff, trainers, members and me were connected on social media Instagram and would view and click like each other's posts and stories. BSC gym was the best gym I've been to! LA Fitness gym has a very different atmosphere of people. Normally when you walk in during the evening hours after 6pm to scan your card, they ignore you. One staff member walks to the other side of the desk and turns around so he won't see you, another staff member usually walks over to the customer service area when people walk in, and another staff member sits at the computer occupied on his cell phone. The only person that says hello to members that walk in is the Operations Manager Nicolas if he's not overly busy, is the only friendly person there, and leaves at 6pm. When I used to go in after 6pm, I didn't get a hello for at least 3-4 or 6 months and ignored daily by the front desk staff. Nowadays, I basically try to get in before 6pm while Nicolas is still there and it's a pleasant atmosphere; and before the antisocial staff comes in to cover the check-in area for the night. Also, one day on the gym floor last year I said Hi to a staff member (Asst GM) and he walked right passed me and just ignored me. Maybe he was having a bad day, I'm not sure. Also, a lot of LA Fitness staff are afraid to be connected to one another on social media Instagram. Most of them have 1,000+ Instagram followers, probably 100's of people they don't even know. But when a member sends a friend request to be connected and get to know one another, they get nervous with adding you. It's also not a friendly place with members. There are only a few people I say hi and chat briefly with and a majority of them are former BSC members that started going here too. Most members try not to make eye contact when you walk by them and some are occupied on their cell phones. One day when I was working on chest workout for the day, the first machine I always use is the incline bench press machine and there's only 2 of them. Both of them were occupied by members and both of them were using their cell phones while I was waiting behind them. I looked up at the clock and they were using their phone for a whole 5 minutes then finished their last set and left. I leave my cell phone in the locker when I workout so I'm not distracted and not delaying other member's workouts. Also, when another member left the bench press machine, he left his cell phone there. I used the bench press after him and thought he might come back to grab his phone but he didn't. I brought it over to him when I finished working out and asked if it was his. He grabbed the phone and threw it in his bag and said it was his. Very rude and not even a thank you. I should have just left his phone on the floor and he could pick it up from lost and found if someone turns it in. I've been trying to ask around people I know to join the gym as referrals so I have more familiar people there to say hi to. Unfortunately, most people are happy with their own gyms or it's too far for them. Aside from being a very unfriendly location, it's a very nice facility. I recommend LA Fitness gym for the facility.
