Isaac Hampton and his 'functional training/fitness' is something that you need to try. When you…read morework, have young family and want to stay athletic through your 40's it is doubly hard to find a work-out that is taxing, aligned to your goals, and compact in nature. I've been doing work-outs with Isaac for the last 2 months and I love it; once a week with a group class with similar aged men and once a week in a private class. Isaac has a great facility and he is an excellent trainer who puts a lot of thought and effort into the workouts he plans for us. I now feel stronger and more confident about my summer rugby tournaments and forthcoming triathlon. Try this place out. You won't regret it.

Amazing place! Not anything like other gyms. Not only are these people true professionals, the…read moreamount of individual attention you get cannot be surpassed. Issac designed two different routines for me based on the results of the diagnostics that he did with me at the beginning. Now I am coming in to work on those routines three times a week. There are four trainers at the gym. Even if you are working out on your own, they are always looking at you to see if you need help or feedback. All the trainers are fabulous and each of them knows your assigned routine as they have two meetings a week to review each client's progress amoung themselves. If I were looking to focus on losing weight, they are running classes in the evening to help with that. If you are able and willing to spend more money you will be working with a trainer individually which cannot be beat. If you are paying $150, you get a monthly training session with a trainer to review progress and adjust your routine. The place is small, not crowded. There aren't many machines as you use your own body weight a lot. In summary, fabulous place, go go go here, you will not regret it and it is a great investment in yourself and your health.

I signed up for a personal trainer at the local YMCA and I was assigned to Chris. He showed me proper technique, he pushed my past my limitations to show me what I was actually capable of. He still checks up on me even though I'm no longer in the area and I appreciate that so much as I continue on this health and fitness journey.

I'm a new member of the gym itself, so this is going off my first impression. I've also read…read morethrough some of the reviews (both good and bad). Many of the reviews are old and dated. (I've been a member of the Summer Club pool with my family for a couple of years). Pro - As many have pointed out, this is a CLUB and not a gym. The place is nice on the inside. Considering it's a club, the price seems fairly appropriate when compared to something like a BSC. The price falls very appropriately. If I wanted a Gold's or plant fitness, I'd pay 10 to 60 month, and I'd expect what I pay for. The interior style is a classic leather couch and finished wood vibe. Very comfortable. It's not sleek black and steel type place. The equipment is definitely new, and it is kept. I haven't seen any out-of-order signs. Pro - It offers an extensive array of things to do. From the gyms, spa, sauna, indoor track, classes like yoga, spin, pilates, HIIT, tennis racket, golf swing area, and more. There are tennis courts (see cons) and indoor rock climbing, a hair salon, martial arts dojo, massage therapy and associated treatments centers for rehab and more. I will note that a few things like martial art lessons or tennis lessons are separate costs. Most things that I've mentioned are included in your membership tho. Pro - The place is clean. I've been to other clubs where the locker rooms are dirty, unkempt, smell bad, broken, and neglected. This is not the case. I think this is important to note because it demonstrates the club keeps a standard. This seems true for the rest of the building and the gym areas as well. I appreciate this fact. Pro - Plenty of up-to-date equipment. I've gone early in the morning and at a few different times. I've never struggled. I once waited for a person to finish using something. It wasn't a big deal. I've experienced far worse at a YMCA or Gold's. Pro - Children and Youth activities. This is robust. I haven't fully explored it, but I've poked my head into that area, and it seems great. Unfortunately, I can't speak more directly about the offerings. Pro - The staff has been very helpful and friendly thus far. There are a few that seem busier than others. When I've had a question, I've just asked the person that wasn't as busy, and they were very nice and took the time to answer me. Staff are available, around and friendly. Pro - (Separate Costs) Outdoor Summer Club and Summer Camp. I want to mention them because the club is that BIG. There's a full waterpark with slides, enormous climbing structures, and tennis courts in the back, and you can watch kids and families play while on the treadmills. It's a cool way to zone out while burning calories. We do the Summer Club with some other families. Honestly, it's a hidden gem, and I feel it is cost appropriate. I can't speak to the Summer Camp experience. Cons - I would give this 5 stars except our experience with the Tennis courts. Even as members, we struggle to get a court. It's frustrating, as others have mentioned. On the weekend, my younger son wants to play. He's been driven off by some sort of program that is dominating the courts. The program is simply claiming all the courts and not leaving any available to the public. My wife asked last weekend why this was, and she said the person running the program became very defensive and told her to take it up with the director of programming. I will take his recommendation and speak to the director to understand and clarity. Unfortunately, I feel some of the other reviews are valid with their frustration in this area. As a well-invested member, I think we should have consistent access. As of now, I wouldn't even classify the courts as providing reasonably limited access. At best, it seems extremely limited access. It's an advertised feature to members, which understandably creates a degree of frustration. Cons - The rock climbing center is still down due to Covid. At this point, I believe we have been out of the woods from Covid, so I don't understand why it's not reopening. It's an also advertised feature, even if they just did limited hours on weekends or something. Cons - I feel like some of the facilities and areas are fully operational after Covid. I remember visiting this place pre-Covid, and the little Cafe was open and offering smoothies and things. It doesn't seem to be happening right now. I could also be missing the times when it is open. Idk. Hope this helps!

My husband and I were active, loyal members of Dedham Health for six years and during most of that…read moretime were very satisfied with the quality of classes and equipment. However, in November 2024 we had a bizarre experience. My husband was having a civilized conversation with a fellow member the day after the presidential election when suddenly the director of the fitness center broke in uninvited and launched into an unprovoked verbal attack based on false assumptions about his political views. After staying away for a year and a half, we recently considered rejoining because of a health need for specific classes that are not available elsewhwere. However, the management refused to speak to their employee about his bullying behavior or to mediate in any way. I would not recommend this club to anyone who expects to feel safe and respected.

When I first wandered into Hard Knocks for my introduction session with Bill, I was hesitant and…read morenervous as I had never played sports, let alone train Muay Thai. The moment I walked in, I immediately felt welcomed. Bill asked me what my goals were and at the time, I had always been interested in trying kick boxing. I was provided with gloves and hand wraps to use and Coach Jake taught me how to wrap my hands. An hour and a bucket of sweat later, I signed up for a membership and decided to give Hard Knocks Muay Thai and MMA a try. Fast forward to almost 2 years later, this gym has become a huge part of my life in ways I couldn't have imagined. I did more than "try kick boxing". I met a group of extremely skilled and knowledgeable coaches, trainers, and fighters that have helped me take my fitness to the next level. I've begun to fall in love with a sport that pushes me to face my fears. The coaches and fighters in this gym are the epitome of discipline and hard work and it has truly been a privilege to learn Muay Thai with them by my side. There is always room for improvement and everyone is always looking out for you, to help you reach your full potential. My favorite part about Hard Knocks is the sense of family and I wouldn't want to train anywhere else! Book your free intro class now!

As much as I enjoy Khalid's music, this doesn't really make for a very relaxing time, at least for me it doesn't. I was really perplexed, and after that I wasn't able to re-center myself and focus on being in the moment. My next issue is that I don't think they clean the rental mats between uses. I say this because when I returned my rented mat, the employee took it and placed it exactly in the pile where they first got it for me, not a separate "used/to be cleaned" pile. It was a bit concerning. Still debating if I should go back or not.
