I felt like I was being pushed as a gymnast but not out of my comfort zone or at a pace where I feared my safety!

I come here mainly on weekends, when my home Y closes way the heck too early (4pm vs 7pm here)…read more I'd say that about 70-80% of their equipment is fine. Lots of free weights and strength machines. The highlight is the huge, high-ceilinged (30-40ft?) functional fitness space that features a turf area, a sled, kettlebells, plyo boxes, plyo smash balls, a do-it-all calisthenics multi-station that includes weighted pulleys, dip and pullup and monkey bars, a free hanging real boxing bag (nice angled uppercut bag that's just the right weight to make you "dance" to avoid the swing back, yet forgiving enough that you can punch it without gloves without risking a broken wrist or bruised knuckles), a pair of Assault bikes and treadmills, a Concept rower, some meh Schwinn stationary bikes (more on that later), and two full squat cages with plenty of plates and barbells. So, what about the other 20-30%, you ask? Well, their cardio machines range from so-so to unusably lousy. All the treadmills are Precor, which are a clear step down from the Life Fitness TMs most Ys have: smaller uglier fuzzy screens with spotty internet connection that can freeze up in the middle of a workout, noisier and less stable platform. The stationary bikes are a mix of Precor (typical mediocre gym bike with crap ergonomics where you feel like you're on a creaky toy bike pedaling against some barbaric pad not magnetic resistance) and Espresso (video-gaming type bike clearly designed to seduce ADD teenagers or lazy af adults) and the horrible Schwinn bikes (just as bad as most home exercise bikes, you can understand why people mostly use them as clothes hangers). Please please please can you guys get at least a few KEISER bikes? We know you can have decent taste in cardio machines because you kept your CONCEPT rowers instead of choosing some oversized gym-brand rowers which look impressive but have similarly lousy ergonomics. Oh and they have non-mechanical Assault brand treadmills which nobody uses because they are brutal on the knees, too narrow and unstable. I don't know who was in charge of choosing the cardio equipment, but that person needs to be put to work cleaning the bathrooms or something more appropriate! The other major gripe I have is their sauna --- it's spacious and new and pretty, but who in the hell decided to have only ONE row of seating? Completely idiotic, folks: did you not pass seventh grade Life Science, where they teach you that heat RISES, and that's why all real saunas have TWO levels of seating, with the 2nd one being a good 4-5 feet off the ground so that you get the full benefit of the heat in the room? Here you have to STAND on the damned low benches if you want to get a decent sweat in ... the sauna thermometer reads 170F but if you're sitting down you'd be lucky to get 140-150F, which is useless. (The sauna of the Melrose YMCA has the same idiotic mistake.) So, while I'm grateful that this Y offers me decent hours to work out on weekends making the long drive out there worthwhile, their cardio machines selection and sauna design really really need a rethink.

Yay for babies bouncing around on trampolines!…read more I went to Shen's to watch my little niece and nephew get their gymnastics on and I was more than impressed with Shen's space. It's a huge area full of gear to make any kid a tumbler. When I spoke to the owner she was more than helpful with information on the program and though I don't need it for myself, I appreciated how happy she was to share. The little ones love it there and my brother recommends this place to anyone in the area looking for a place to let their kids release a bunch of energy in an hour.

My 4-year old son has been attending classes at Planet Gymnastics for almost a year now and he…read moreloves it! It never ceases to amaze me how different and creative every class is. There are courses built out all over the gym for the kids and they're different every week. They get especially creative around the holidays. They move around the gym to different stations with creative obstacle courses, like climbing along the rungs of a ladder and trying not to fall through the cracks into the swamp with the alligators or hopping over the witches hats on the balance beam! All this really keeps the kids engaged. The teachers are very patient as the little kids aren't usually following all of the directions and they keep the environment fun. Even when my son gets scared of new things, the instructors give the kids the space and support they need to get them motivated to participate. On top of making the classes super fun for the kids, Planet Gymnastics goes above and beyond and recognizes each kid periodically throughout the year with medals, giving them a sense of accomplishment and something to physically bring home for all of their hard work.

This is the premier place in Boston to bring your kids for rhythmic gymnastics. The coaches there…read moreare truly amazing and do absolutely everything for their students! Mayya and Giorgia have created an atmosphere for all of the gymnasts to excel and grow to their fullest potential. Whether you are looking for something recreational or aspire to compete in the olympics one day this is the place to go! Throughout all of the last year they have also done everything in their power to create a safe place so that the gymnasts can continue to learn without losing the year. Whether it has been creating online zoom classes, to make sure they stay active, to then providing both online and in-person classes for everyone. They made everyone feel safe by following all guidelines and making sure the facility is impeccably clean every day and between all of the classes! Even though this year has been difficult for a lot of people it was nice to see how MG Rhythmic Academy gave the kids a place to go to forget about everything and focus on gymnastics. Without hesitation this is the place that I would recommend bringing your child to become a gymnasts!

Birthday part review Clean spacious facility. Birthday…read moreparties are 1.5 hours which is nice for adults but felt a bit rushed. The front lobby area has a spot for coats and shoes plus a large comfy sitting area in front of a large floor to ceiling windows where you can see into the gymnastic area. Children must take off socks and then they can run and play in the left side area. The room has 3 different sections. The left side has an obstacle course, floor mat to run and play parachute, and foam ball pit! This is where we spent most of our time. The middle election has floor trampolines where they took a couple runs around and then the right side had a blow up centipede where the kids enter thru the mouth, go over a hill out the end. Then they are ushered into the party room for food, drinks, cake, etc. it was very organized but was lacking enthusiasm from the instructors. Plenty of parking and again, very clean! I wanted to comment on another review where the family was ushered out for lack of participation. Our kiddo wasn't into it either and sat off to the side with us for most of it but we had no issue with the staff asking us to leave, thankfully. So seems like they've changed their policy which is great!

The facility was clean, inviting and over the top FUN!! The staff at Energy was incredible. They welcomed each child as they came in and were genuinely happy to see all of the children. The staff made the experience fun for all. In a kind and caring way they encouraged the children that were hesitant to try things and celebrated with and kept safe (in a non-punitive way) the children who ran from area to area trying everything! BEST EVENT EVER!!!
