    Dropped in while in town for work. Great community and great space for a WOD. Will definitely drop in again.

    I took one class here and it reminded me of solidcore but more teal (rather than electric blue),…read morebright, and gentle and less like you're in an EDM club. Same idea with a megaformer and low impact, high intensity moves that leave you sweating, so it just all depends on what vibe you like more! I like that the megaformer offers variety even within one workout and coming to a studio like this offers movements and workouts that you cannot easily replicate at home. Plus, small class sizes (12 people max?) offer the boutique experience. The instructor was able to provide hands-on modifications and demonstrate the moves on an unoccupied reformer but that would be more difficult if the class was fuller. It seems they have days focusing on different body parts, so depending on which day you choose, you may get less arm workouts but more core and legs or vice versa. Not sure if that information is on the website but there is a calendar with the schedule in the studio. Tip: - There is no warm-up so be on time! - Bring a water bottle and towel if you sweat easily like I do. - Would recommend good sticky socks so you have more stability, especially when you start sweating on your platform. - A great way to try out the class is with one of the $5 teacher-in-training classes!

    Jesse was really helpful as a beginner & first time here. Low impact but still intense & definitely…read morenot easy.

The equipment is in great shape and I like that they have a lot of different weight options. I have taken a few instructors and all are friendly and helpful! Something I love about this studio is it welcomes all ages and abilities. It can be very intimidating walking into a new place and this studio does a great job of welcoming all. I am excited to try all the different classes they have to offer! The only downside is since it is such a small studio, they do not have a ton of class times to choose from. But that being said, I have never had an issue getting into a class or finding one that fits my schedule. My favorites are the TRX Bootcamp with Alex and the Power BURN with Jonathan. I can not recommend this place enough if you are looking for a strength training workout!

    I'd visited BURN Fitness Studios for the first time through ClassPass a few years ago and really…read moreenjoyed the classes I took. I signed back up for ClassPass recently and was so thankful to be able to take BURN classes again, even during a pandemic. I've since gone back into the studio for in-person classes, which are masked and have limited capacity, but now prefer to take their classes online. My favorite classes have been Tabata Burn and Power Burn. Jonathan, who teaches both, is charismatic and makes the class feel engaging even through Zoom. I would say the classes are challenging, but suited for all skill levels, and they encourage you to modify the workouts for whatever feels good for you.

    I wish I found Everybody Fights FiDi sooner when I moved to Boston !…read more Everybody Fights gets you in/out for a HITT workout. At the beginning of each class, the instructors encourage anyone new to the gym or to them to introduce themselves to the instructors who will explain what is about to happen. Everybody Fights promotes its community atmosphere, and I have felt that since my first class. One instructor had come up to me after my second class with her and not only told me I had done a great job in class but also remembered my name ! In comparison to other gyms in the area, I like I can take unlimited classes for $159 (in comparison to others who offered only 8-class pass for +$200). The FiDi location does have towels, showers, lockers included. I mostly go after work to Everybody Fights, but will travel from Allston if I want a weekend workout and find the gym worth it to travel that distance.

    As a disclaimer, I didn't do any boxing but went for EBF's ROAD class, which is treadmill + various…read morestrength moves. Get ready for the inevitable comparison to Barry's, the benchmark I use for any class that combines those two things. Where EBF is better: --I really appreciated the smaller class format where it's only a few students (less than 10) and the instructor. Relatedly, the other people taking the class were very nice and there was more of a community feel than the vibe in Barry's where you basically keep your head down and do the workout. --The area with the treadmills had so much natural light and a view of the street, whereas the Barry's red room is dark and can get claustrophobic if you're myopic like me and can't always see where the treadmill edge in front of your feet ends. --Not only did the instructor demo each move, but if you forgot, you could always look up at the screen to see the moves listed. --Really liked the quick warm-up before the running started. Where Barry's is better: --The treadmills at EBF were on the older end and took some time to get up/down to speed. Now that Barry's has upgraded to new Woodways, I could feel the difference. --The programming at Barry's for the strength component was a lot more varied - in the ROAD class, we only did 2-3 ab moves (and each were super short) and six strength moves (including a bear crawl on the treadmill that had me legit gasping). I'm the sort of person who prefers quantity but if you prefer doing the same moves in multiple sets, go with EBF. --The instructor's cue-ing could have been clearer. For most of the treadmill intervals, we were told how long each was but I love a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown and there were moments where I had no idea how long was left without sneaking a peek at the timer on the screen. I also don't think the interval where we were all-out sprinting and then jumping on the rails is safe when you have people side-by-side on the treadmills. Overall I'd stick with Barry's but I'd give the boxing classes at EBF a try.

    I have to admit that I was a little scared about going here with some co-workers, mostly because I…read moredidn't know what to expect. I was picturing a gym full of meat heads I guess, which is not my scene at all. This place is further from that picture than you could ever get. The atmosphere of the place is actually very chill/relaxing. It's a big open space with tons of interesting looking equipment. Josh is probably the most friendly and welcoming guy you could ever meet. We even talked running a bit, and he is full of helpful information! The class we took, Sweat Shop, was not at all what I was expecting. Josh makes the workout not only interesting, but fun and I got to use some of that interesting looking equipment. I had never used kettleballs or weighted bats (not sure what they are really called) before! I left a little sweaty, feeling like I had a very good workout, and I had fun on top of it. I'm a little sore the day after, which my body knows it means I had a great workout that was a full body workout! It's way better than the typical gym circut where you just go from dull machine to dull machine. I will defintely be coming back for more classes at Gymnasium. I'm paticularly interested in Yogabells and the fencing classes.

    It's a few minutes before my first class and I am nervous. I hear a cool 80's song as I open the…read moredoor. Immediately I am greeted by the owner, Josh Conway. I see him peering over a desk flanked by tall plants, smiling at me. It looks like he is briefing one of his coaches for the upcoming class. I take off my shoes, briefly speak with him and then proceed to the changing room. I noticed behind him was a lighted library of books ranging from Chinese breathing techniques to the history of European sword fighting. What a nice collection of varied interests I thought. As I grab a cup of water from the bubbler Josh informs me that although optional, I needn't to keep my socks on for the workout --part of the strength training involves training the feet, naturally. As I stretch out before class I see an older couple finishing up their kettle bell routine. They chalk up their personal best on one of the chalkboards on the wall. I see that one chalkboard is filled with quotations, comments and words of encouragement written by various members. Another board describes what 'theme' it is for the day. 'Stamina.' Today's theme is stamina I thought. Yesterday was 'Power.' Tomorrow is 'Strength.' The couple comes over and says hello to me and we introduce ourselves. This is pretty cool I thought. As I look around I see that Gymnasium is a nicely designed, large two section studio with cozy lighting, wooden floors, floor to ceiling mirrors along one wall and a huge Gymnasium logo emblazoned against another. Thick and heavy ropes hang from the ceiling, next to a row of pull-up bars. There are many tires stacked like a wall in one corner. A large variety of kettlebells and Indian Clubs line the back wall. There are also hurdles, metal stands, rope, straps, foam bricks, sandbags, fitness ladders, a peg climb and many other tools for circuit use. Intimidated, but curious. A coach comes over to me, extends a hand and says hello to me. 'Hello, my name is Marlon" I reply. 'My first day here.' Several more members fill the room as the clock winds to 5pm. The coach instructs us to get into a circle. The mild chatter quiets down as the coach-led group begins with a twisting and breathing exercise as 'Simple Minds' softly gets us into the mood over the gym's sound system. It's been a hair over two months since I've joined Gymnasium. I clocked in at 228 pounds the day I signed up. Today I am 202 pounds. I can't believe it. Twice the results, half the time. At first I was skeptical because there weren't any 45 pound plates, barbells and ellipticals which are usual staple found at regular gyms. At the risk of sounding cliché, this isn't a regular gym. After a few workouts I found myself crawling on all fours, doing planks, swinging kettlebells, hurling sandbags and performing an endless variety of floor work. The exercises are always changing weekly too. No chance for my muscles to become accustomed to anything. What is key, is that since the classes are small you get a lot of attention from the coach. There are always two or three alternatives to each type of exercise. An experienced member might perform a more difficult version of a pushup exercise while a new member might do them inclined along a wall. Gymnasium recognizes that each person is different. Another thing which is cool is that the community at Gymnasium is very fun, social and lively. There are tables and couches to sit and read from the library, sip tea or coffee which Gymnasium provides, or just to hang out. Josh organizes many other fun events such as evening runs, a variety of seminars, kettlebell challenges and a 60 Day Food Challenge in which I am currently involved. There is a great deal of personalization and interaction which is seldom if ever found at other gyms. I am simply flabbergasted as to why I don't see a lot more people doing natural movement exercises like the kind found at Gymnasium. However, I do know that this style of training is increasing in popularity. Also this type of training isn't as 'sexy' as pushing 10 pound plates on a machine. But for the record, given by my results I would never step back into a 'regular' gym--not if being strong and balanced, moving optimally and losing weight was my goal. 2/25/13 Sincerely, Marlon V

Wanted to charge me $1260 more than a friend of mine that signed up two months earlier. That is per year! All told they wanted to charge $3780 per year when my friend pays $2520 per year. On top of that they wanted to charge me $8160 for 48 training sessions which is $170/hr. I would have more than likely paid for the trainers because they are known for this, but when they cannot give you a similar rate to what others are paying because they think you have the money is ridiculous. Especially when you are prepared to spend $8160 on just the PT. All told that is $11940 for 16 weeks of PT and one year at the gym. That is a lot of money for anyone to put down. With this amount of money I was able to get two weeks of health spa vacations in La Jolla, CA and I am talking to several independent trainers that have made names for themselves in the area and will get 16 weeks from them. It took me a bit to find out who is who and who the best PT trainers are in the area. Certainly not at Equinox since the trainer they were going to assign me too you cannot find any information about them. So for me I am now spending ... $280 at Planet Fitness for Black Card $4320 for 48 PT session, plus 3 more for free $6400 for two weeks at an all-inclusive health resort in CA $560 for round trip tickets Total all together is $11560 which is $380 less and much more enjoyable than Equinox. Let's check the checklist. 1) Year long gym membership with access to every gym at Planet Fitness has around the world 2) 16 weeks, 3 days a week of PT training with a top trainer 3) 2 weeks at a health spa resort 4) Oh yeah, traveling to California On a related note, I was a member of this gym years ago. They played funny games with me where they allowed people that live more than a certain distance away to get out of their contract with no problems. I was well beyond that distance. Instead, they changed my address to their location at 225 Franklin Street and tried to tell me I was not able to get out of the gym membership because I lived at the same building as the gym. I had to report them to the attorney general to get out of the membership. I would not have gone back if it hadn't been so many years and my business partner and life coach recommended that I go for the PT. Just goes to show that a leopard cannot change their spots. Avoid this gym! There are better gyms out there.
