I used to really like coming here but recently it has just been too crowded and HOT. It's almost like they had way too many people sign up at the same time. It's impossible to find a treadmill after work (from 530-730). Even on Saturday mornings its busy now. I've been going here for about two years and I've never had a problem with it until now. I go in and the burst of heat makes me want to leave. I know it's cold outside and people want to sweat inside but running on a treadmill in an 80 degree room with a hundred other people is not what I'm looking for. Hopefully when Spring rolls around it won't be as bad. read more

Good gym. New equipment and friendly staff. The man dressing room could be improved with better showers!

Stopped going here for a while and then came back and glad I did. It's such a reasonable price at a great location and now that they added WIT classes for a good price, it's even better. It's true that it's a bit crazy around 5-7 PM on the weekdays, but I think that's to be expected for any gym. I train with Katie B. every week and she is AWESOME. So enthusiastic, encouraging, and knows her stuff. Her sessions (and I expect classes) are tough but so worth it. So many gyms in Boston are way overpriced and this one is the best and most reasonable. read more

I have been a member for almost 3 years,nothing to complain about the place,just be sure to bring a padlock, usually i only leave my clothes in the locker room,but yesterday i left 2 20$ scratch tickets in my pants pocket and now i will never know if it was a winner. read more

I love this gym! It actually makes me want to work out. The location is perfect, it's super cheap, friendly staff, smells nice, and has a wide variety of machines. read more

I unfortunately had to end my membership here due to the distance from my job, but if that wasn't the case, I'd absolutely continue here. There are no bells and whistles like saunas, racquetball courts, etc., but if you're someone like me who just needs some weights and a treadmill, then I absolutely encourage you to give GymIt a try. The $20 a month price is hard to beat, and since there isn't anything fancy, you avoid the insanely intimidating twice-daily gym goers who lift 500 pounds and borderline scream while doing so. The problem with that, though, is the fact that you get the people who don't care TOO much about their bodies; as a result, it tends to get incredibly stinky in there. My only other complaint would be the recent increase in parking to $1/hour. GymIt has no control over it, but it's something to certainly take into consideration since a 15-time a month visit turns your $20/month membership into $35/month. Otherwise, I highly recommend GymIt for anyone who lives in the area! read more

I've been working out here since the first day of GymIt and continue ever since. I dont understand why people are cribbing about no towels or laundry service. Well, that might have been good for a few, you pay like $20 for an amazing set of equipments, great and friendly staff. I have been to a lot of gyms and quit it in a couple of months, either too expensive, or too smelly and disgusting. read more

If you want to run on a treadmill or lift some weights or other simple things like that with great TV's and nice staff without paying crazy money- this is your place. My wife and I have really liked it here. read more

I've been a member for a few months and have always found the staff to be friendly (not pushy about personal training like some gyms) and clean. They keep their machines in good shape. Other people their seem like professionals and very respectful and like they're doing their part to keep the gym clean and comfortable. Highly recommend! read more

Love it! Brookline location is very convenient. Price is low and you can add on additional services such as towel service, locker, classes for extra fees if you want to do so. Very clean, plenty of great equipment and everyone is really nice. Love it! read more

Started at GymIt a couple years ago. The value was unbeatable considering I was just looking for a casual workout experience and that's exactly what I found. The value membership (27/month) is great for dragging friends along. Fast forward to today -- I'm at GymIt 5 days a week, never have a problem getting a machine, and work with an excellent personal trainer (Wade). 45 pounds lost in 7 months? I'll take it. Highly recommend training not only for the benefits of the guided workouts, but also learning new skills to practice on my own. read more

Gym IT. Is one of the best gym for it's price for members , the staff is friendly and helpful and the gym is always cleaned and up beat.!!! I've been here over more than a year and I look forward to a wonderful new year and enjoy getting nearer to my own goal in my fitness.!!! IF you're looking for a gym to join, this is the one to check out.!!!! read more

I highly recommend this place. Nice facility and trainers: Steve and Sean are both amazing trainers. Their sessions are worth it.

Visited 2x now and still not sure I like this gym. It's a bare bones type of place that offers the basics. No sauna, whirlpool, pool, shampoo, hair dryer, or even free towels. They do have towels here for rent, $2 a piece. Um no thanks I'll bring my own. As it's a bare bones facility, it's small compared to other gyms I've been to. There's only one floor with one room for mainly cardio and another room for weights. I was disappointed that there wasn't a designated stretching area. Basically members have to grab mats and awkwardly position it next to machines that other members are working out on. It's a bit uncomfortable. But there are some pros to this place. There are ample cardio machines, validated parking $1/hr, clean roomy showers, nice lockers, and a whole row of TV screens. Though I do kind of wish they had the machines with the screen attached. With the promotion going on right now, it's cheap as well. I just can't decide yet if it's worth it for me to pay a little more for a place with more amenities. read more

This is an OK gym. If you need a cheap gym in the area this is the place to go, but it lacks certain things. If all you need is cardio equipments, then it's great. But it's weak in the weights department. The declining benches are just sad, and unless you're very short, your head is going to hang off the bench, which is quite uncomfortable when you're, you know, lifting really heavy weights. The benches in general are just bad. They're very short. I'm not a very tall guy (5'11") and my head often comes uncomfortably close to the edge of benches. It doesn't really have any plate loaded machines, which is kind of a turn off since I'm used to that. It doesn't even have olympic benches of any sort (for bench pressing), which is a little strange. So for some of the classic exercises (bench pressing, dead lifts, shoulder presses), you have to rely on either dumbbells, pre-set barbells(which max at around 100lbs) or machines that determine your form for you. You can definitely make this work for you, but it's not a very well thought out lifting area. Like I said, there are plenty of cardio machines and plenty space for whatever other exercises your little heart desires. The sad truth is this is by far the cheapest gym in Brookline and it's not a bad gym in general, it just lacks a few key things. I would definitely give it a try, I think you can try it out once before subscribing. read more

The value proposition at Gymit is awesome! They have an amazing array of top notch fitness equipment, the locker rooms are bright and modern, the staff is friendly. The gym is well maintained and my impression is that the management is very customer focused. I have not had any experience with the personal trainers, so I can't comment on that. read more

I returned to Gymit a few months after its grand open a few years ago. I recently resign up with gymit after a year of leave from Boston.I resign up because I consider it one of the best gym in Boston, and I've continued to recommend my friends, and people from work whom enjoy working out to give this place a chance. I've enjoyed my workout experices at their facility, because of the passion and energy this facility shows. The employees are friendly, and they have knowldge about the gym and what they're offering/ selling at gymit. The Gymit staff do listen when members have concerns. However I can see sometimes the employees in general don't payattention to whats going on around them. Ive seen a few memebers who are working out in street cothes and can be a distraction to other memebers. Gymit has many different kind of workout equipment to choose from. They have their dumbbells max at 90 lb. It has open spaces for memebers to do stretch excerises, yoga, or whatever their workout routine is. They have many different workout machines, they have more chest and abs machines. I've never worked out with any of their trainer staff. I don't know how much knowledge they have in fitness trainers. Judging from their appearence as trainers it doesn't look like they apply the same knowledge they're trying to teach to memebers. For Improvements Gymit needs to add more weight benches. Add free weight barbell would be a huge attraction for new members and loyal members. They need to add more weight benches and figure out where the extra space should be for excerising. I can see one whole room can be for weight benching/ strenght conditon, and the other side can be an open space for excersise, stretching, and yoga conditioning. I like the idea of member appreciation day however offering free beer/alcohol to members at a gym facility is alarming. You have members who are under 21. I don't know what kind of demographic they are trying to attract but how about free smoothes or something more related to fitness. Offering free pizza to members when they're are trying to reach their goal to be healthy tells me they aren't looking for people who are serious enough to reach their goals. I'm confident thats not what they're about an can do better than ripping of planet fitness whom don't want the fitted people who are serious about working out. Overall I do recommend this gym for new members. Its one of the best gyms in Boston at its value. You'll like the equipment, the invorment, the energy in this faciality. UPDATE What Gymit doesn't tell you on every other 3rd Billing its an addition 39 dollars fee added to the 27 or 20 dollar monthly billing you'd pay a one month total of 66 or 59 dollars depending on the memebership. For that kind of vaue with what you're gettin from Gymit i strongly reconsidered looking else where for a more commitment Gym or fitness center that has more to offer than what Gymit gives. Gymit is a great spot f you're visiting Boston for a month or two but nothing less then that. read more

Color me unimpressed with Gymit on Comm Ave. The equipment is just fine and they have a decent amount of floor space and free weights, even have TRX which I love. They validate parking for the parking garage located behind the building which is nice. My issue with this gym is the staff. They are pretty rude compared to other gyms I have been to (which is a lot). I was never greeted at this gym which is the most basic thing a front desk staff member should be doing. A lot of the time there was no one at the desk, my boyfriend and I would joke that we were going to stop paying membership as we could clearly just walk right in. I also often saw employees standing around texting or just hanging out but not doing work i.e. putting away equipment or filling all the empty paper towel dispensers. My worst experience was when I was in the middle of a TRX workout and one of the trainers comes up to me and kicks me off so she can teach her class. I totally respect that trainers need to do their job, but there was no sign posting the time of her class and she saw me on the TRX for 15 minutes, she could have given me a 10 minute warning so I wouldn't have to stop in the middle of a set. I know this gym is only $20 a month but I have gotten better customer service at Planet Fitness. Watertown Gymit is much better, way nicer employees. I'm glad I switched locations. read more

had the president reach out when i expressed a problem with my billing, and he fixed the issue immediately, which speaks a lot about the business. beyond that, the facilities are great and its really affordable! read more

This is an update to my previous review of a year ago. I still very much like Gymit and the price you really can't beat. But... I've got a few gripes...Some fixable, within their control, some not so much. Within Gymit's control: I used to like to go to the gym during the week, in the morning before work (as it has just become too busy at night). However, there have been several times the gym did not open on time. I have an early work schedule so I rely on the gym opening at the posted hours (to the best of their abilities). I realize there will be times that it won't due to holidays and extenuating circumstances or planned posted delays. For unanticipated delayed openings, I'm usually pretty tolerant. A few minutes isn't a big deal. However, there have been several occasions that it was far beyond a few minutes. I do make it a point to check the FB page for delayed openings first. Also, 5:00 AM, it's still dark, those utilizing the garage and standing at the entrance door waiting to be let in (not many at the garage at that hour), only to watch the person let members in from the Comm Ave side and forget to open the garage side. I had to pound on the door until she eventually heard (almost 10 minutes later). I think the garage side entrance should be opened first due to safety, just my two cents. Luckily, the person that did this is not working at this location anymore. Overall, they seem to favor opening the Comm Ave entrance first, at least during the week I'm assuming because it's the main entrance. If I could find parking at the main entrance I would definitely do that, but many times, it's difficult to find a space. The weekend openers are fantastic, particularly the Sunday opener. She's prompt, courteous and very helpful. Another issue I have to bring up AGAIN, please keep your paper towels/cleaning fluid adequately stocked as this is still an issue. I do appreciate that Gymit's manager, Matt always reacts positively to member concerns and actively tries to resolve issues and do better, you don't get this type of customer service at many other places. Now for the things that Gymit cannot control. Members lack of courtesy. I didn't realize that some members think they can reserve machines, or multiple machines at the same time. I completely understand that sometimes people like to rotate sets between 2 machines. However, you can't tell someone you have one more set on a machine when you are still doing sets on another machine, then proceed to get up and take control of the machine that I was going to use and be surprised by my not so nice reaction. You came bolting over to explain your situation, I didn't want to hear it! It's selfish and ignorant of you to think you can do this and then address me as "honey". I've done those types of sets rotating between machines, but have never expected that the other machine would still be available upon returning for a set. I am fully aware that at any point, if I'm not on a machine, another member is entitled to use it, period! Also, people still don't wipe the machines down and I really don't understand this at all. I'm appalled at how often this happens. I am seriously thinking of canceling the membership due to lack of convenience from a location/parking standpoint, tardy openings and busyness of the gym at afterwork hours, since going before work has proved challenging. read more

This is a good gym for the price, as long as you can live with the limitations. The cardio room is very big, and the equipment is in fine shape. They also have TVs, and you can hook into the sound system for the TVs with a jack at each machine. Unlike some other gyms that restrict cell phone use, you can use your cell phone to watch a movie while working out. They even have WiFi. On the downside, the weight room is small, and it pretty much only has isolation machines -- no squat rack! It does have free weights, but no barbells, making it impossible to do a true squat, press, power clean, or benchpress, although you can kind of get away with deadlifting in the Smith machine. The locker rooms are nice; they have plenty of lockers available for anyone to use, and it is clean. However, there is no towel service, and you need to bring your own soap (and shampoo). Also (and this didn't factor into my rating because I think it is run by a separate company), although the parking is cheap ($0.25 per 15 minutes), the entrance and exit clocks at the gym are not synchronized, so you can be overcharged. I complained several times, but they never did anything about it. read more
