Overall, a very solid experience. The gym was clean and well cared for, the locker room was in good shape, and the showers were better than what I have experienced at a lot of gyms over the years; strong water pressure and consistent temperature, which is not something I take for granted. The staff really stood out. Friendly, approachable, and genuinely funny in a way that makes the place feel relaxed rather than corporate. At one point I was trying a piece of equipment I do not normally use and heard a dreaded "thunk." For a moment, I worried the infamous Lunk alarm would sound! I flagged down a staff member, who watched me for a moment, reassured me that my form was fine, joked that he hears the same thing at his own gym, and said he would make sure the machine got lubricated. Low-key, helpful, and exactly how that situation should be handled. My only frustration is less about this specific club and more about Planet Fitness as a brand. If you follow a structured routine and are used to certain machines, it can be frustrating to discover mid-workout that a specific piece of equipment simply is not available at a particular location. You end up wandering the floor trying to confirm whether it is missing or just hidden somewhere. I do not blame the franchisee; space is limited and equipment choices are real business decisions. But given how much Planet Fitness already leans into technology, it feels like a missed opportunity. A simple, up-to-date inventory of machines by location, accessible in the app or via QR code, would make life much easier for members who move between clubs. Despite that quibble, this was a strong visit, and I would absolutely work out here again when I am in the area.

Not only am I stronger than I was as a division 1 college athlete 20 years ago, but I can do things I would never had tried or thought of trying. Because crossfit is a community that moves, I have never felt embarrassed or out of place. I started crossfit because I was bored at a regular gym and needed a fresh approach to my fittness. Everything is fresh and creative here. I knew a couple in their 70's who tried crossfit after years of doing triathlons and they said they recovered quicker and had better times. So crossfit is worth a try for any athlete. I can't say enough about this gym. The coaches are excellent and patient. They focus on doing the movements correctly instead of quickly. The program is challenging no matter what your fittness level. You will get fit. I have a toddler who loves to come and play with friends. The members are friendly and encouraging. It's a great place to try it out or perfect your fittness.

I was visiting Massachusetts over Christmas and was looking for a weightlifting gym where I could…read moretrain. Mary answered the phone when I called and invited me to come by. Im super glad I was able to find this place! When I got there, she warmly greeted me and made sure I had everything I needed, even asking me if the music was to my liking (it was!). This is an extremely well-equipped weightlifting gym with 8 full size platforms, Olympic bars, bumper plates, power racks, blocks, and chalk stands. Thinhs were super well organized, even down to the order to the plates. Throw in a few Hookgrip / ATG / USA Weightlifting banners and I was good to go! The first thing Mary had me do were some overhead squats on a vibrating plate to loosen up my muscles. Afterwards, I got on the platform and did a few snatches with just the bar. She mentioned there would be a class soon and, not wanting to miss out on coaching, I gladly agreed to take the class. Mary was super attentive and gave her full attention to watching each lifter perform the complexes she programmed. Each lift was videotaped on an iPad, and between lifts, Mary reviewed the footage with me 1 on 1 to identify issues with my form. I could see exactly what she was talking about, and fixing these problems really helped me extend and catch more confidently. Needless to say, I absolutely love this visual approach to coaching, and her advice was very easy to understand. I only wish that I had more time to spend at this gym. Their drop-in rate is $20, or $30 to drop-in and take a class, which I think is very reasonable given the quality of the coaching and how nice the facility is. I'll definitely be back to visit when I am in the area again!

This box is top notch and is the one I come to regularly when I visit my folks on the Cape. I pay $20 for a drop in which is similar to what other boxes charge. Some even charge $25 which I think is steep for one hour. The coaches and programming here are fantastic. I've done some workouts at other boxes where I didn't even break a sweat. You won't find that here. There are also great members here with a lot of cameraderie. There are some very competitive people here which makes it even more fun whether you're looking to compete with some great athletes or to learn from them. If you're looking to join a box in the area, or you're just a visitor like me, it's worth checking out.

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.
