Before I get my spray bottle I have four people screaming hello and waiving at me. Place is clean as can be as well, which is important today. I feel very safe there. Highly ,highly recommend

So... the "new" owner called me and told me he bought the place in 2018 and my experience is from…read more2017 and he's looking to get negative reviews removed and offered me a couple of free months to check out the space and update my review. Based on that call, I would have expected a low overall rating for the club but when I logged in I see it's going well at 4 stars overall. I personally find it a little invasive that he sorted through every client named Dawn and compared the gym photos to mine here to find and call me, but, here's a note to confirm that my experiences did, in fact, occur in 2017. Also, just for everyone who might be reading this, here is what Yelp has to say about offering things in exchange for reviews or asking people to write them: https://www.yelp-support.com/article/Don-t-Ask-for-Reviews?l=en_US Offering something to make up for a poor experience is great customer service, when it's not conditional. Also note when you however over the Yelp stars it literally tells you what each rating means. 5 stars is "Great." 4 stars is "Good." Three stars is "OK." Two stars is "Could have been better" and one star is "Not good." And, my experience, up and until today, could have been better. That said, there are plenty of excellent reviews here for you to read, so, you know, check them out if you're looking for a gym and make your own decisions.

You may have to wait for the leg press machine etc. The facilities are very clean. The water fountain (bub-bla) was broken earlier this week. Not sure if it's fixed yet. The PF crew are very friendly and helpful. My experience thus far is that it truly is a "no judgement" zone. The gym goers are all very respectful making sure that the Equipment is wiped down and placed back where they belong. I think you get a lot of bang for your buck with PF and the facilities fit different lifestyles and fitness goals.

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...

Every day of the week has a different workout and the workouts change every month. Right now I'm doing the Monday workout and the Friday workout, both completely different.

Crossfit 617 has everything you want in a box - great coaching, vtight knit community, loads of…read moreequipment, solid programming, and plenty of space. After spending COVID working out in my garage, I was missed having a community to keep me motivated in my workouts and 617 really delivered after I dropped in to check them out. I especially appreciate the programming at 617. Unlike other boxes that are geared towards advanced athletes, I find 617 to have a nice mix of movements with reps and weights that scale well across a broad spectrum of people. More emphasis on cardio as well. Other notes. It's easy to miss the building if you are visiting for the first time so look for the blue warehouse looking building sitting below the road. Also during busy classes, usually the morning ones, the parking lot can get quite busy and not fit enough cars. There is a lot in the park next door you can use and walk over.

I recently had a behind-the-scenes tour of CrossFit 617, and it had all the makings of an amazing…read moreplace to work out. The high ceiling lends itself to an open, airy and inviting atmosphere to work out in. The equipment itself - from free weights, to medicine balls, to bikes, are all in excellent shape. There's even an outdoor section, complete with rope climbs, tire flips, peg climbs, and other cool things I can only dream about watching on Ninja Warrior. However, as someone who's been to countless gyms in the past, what really makes or breaks a gym is its people - both the owners/management and the clientele. By this same token, what sets CrossFit 617 apart is its people. I had a chance to sit in on a class the following day - the sense of community and camaraderie between the instructors and clients was evident from the start. Everyone goes out of their way to make each other feel part of the family so to speak, and that goes a long way.

Most people walk past 200 Clarendon and see an office building. What they don't see is what's…read moreinside for the people who work there. The 200 Club is exclusive to building tenants, and the Wellness Center alone is enough to make your commute feel worth it before the workday begins. The gym is genuinely complete. Calisthenics, free weights, full weight training, cardio: all there, all excellent quality. Everything a corporate weapon needs to get jacked to fight for their shareholders. But the equipment isn't even the headline. For me, the headline is the recovery suite. There are capsule-style full-body massage chairs that encase you entirely and methodically work every muscle group while you sit there reconsidering every spa membership you've ever paid for. I tell people about these chairs unprompted. At dinner. I've become that person and I have zero regrets. The compression therapy chairs for your legs round it out...the kind of recovery tools you'd expect at an athletic facility, not tucked inside a Back Bay office tower. Then there's the locker room. Spacious, elegantly appointed, and stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the private shower rooms. There is towel service. Towel. Service. At a gym inside an office building in Boston. I don't know what decisions led to this outcome but I'm grateful for all of them. Beyond the equipment and recovery amenities, the 200 Club offers studio fitness classes, one-on-one coaching, a green room, and more. If you work in a building with a 200 Club and you're not using the Wellness Center, I genuinely don't know what you're doing with your lunch break. (Though tbh I get it. Work gets so busy. Time spent here is luxury, and the space makes it feel that way too, thankfully). This is one of the better-kept secrets in Back Bay--and I suppose by posting this I'm making it slightly less secret, but some things are too good not to talk about.
