When a coach was out on vacation or sick the owners never wanted to teach classes in my opinion why open a gym then.

All of the instructors are so helpful and always make sure that I feel comfortable with every exercise. If I feel like a workout is too much, they always provide a modified version for me that works the same muscle group, but isn't too hard on my back. I have also really appreciated how accommodating Kourtney has been- from anything to having to cancel/swap a class last minute to pausing my membership for a month. Everyone clearly cares deeply about the member experience and there is a true community feel to the gym.

Parking is a little tough if you do not have a Somerville Permit (need to find a meter in the AM or just hope you do not get towed in front of the Car Wash place). Overall a great spot in the Cambridge/Somerville area. Reminds me of Ethos in the South End.

This is my review from attending the club during one visit. LOCATION The location is pretty accessible by train and there is parking at the Porter Square parking lot. CLEANLINESS When considering a gym, the cleanliness is of high priority to me. The facility was relatively clean and they had places to use wipes in different locations on the floor. EQUIPMENT The equipment is pretty updated. I went in the middle of the day and there was plenty of equipment available for use. PRICE The price is on par with other health clubs of similar status? I have paid more for gyms but this certainly isn't cheap even with my corporate discount. I could see how you can get a lot of value because they have different classes and is someone that takes many group classes, it's nice to see that they have a number of classes to choose from. I like that you can choose to forgo a contract because I'm not able to lock into a year-long contract at this time. I will say the locker room has a lot of different things that you would need to get ready such as blow dryer, flat iron, feminine hygiene products Q-tips. The showers are standard not very spacious and they have soap or body wash shampoo and conditioner. The lotion isn't the best quality. Despite slathering plenty on my skin, I was was dry soon after. My main gripe was that the bathroom or changing area definitely smell like corn chips. I haven't decided if I'd become a member yet but this is a pretty solid health club.

They offer gentle assists, anatomically safe instruction (Jenna is meticulous about this), and the right balance of challenge and variation for all levels. I come from a different tradition than Jenna's training but have always left learning something new, and appreciating her style, humility and compassion. The space is warm, beautifully done with a combination of greenery, that reclaimed wood post and beam architecture, and clean lines. There's not a lot of Hindu influence here - their music selections are mostly ambient, modern relaxation or upbeat tracks that don't compete with instruction. Don't get confused -- enter through the Main St. door, as if you were going to the bank, but keep going into the building, and up the first half flight of stairs, you're there! This is a wonderful business in Medford, I want to help hang permanent decal signs on the windows, as it's really hard to know that studio is even there. I discovered it by accident when visiting a friend. Gem in Medford. Support a small business owner offering really good yoga with a sincerely open heart.

I have never really been terribly into physical activity. I've dabbled with running, pilates, yoga,…read moreetc... but nothing ever really stuck. Last year I decided to start taking my health seriously and make working out an actual habit in my life. I was tired of hearing of all the nasty things that I was saying to myself about my body and fitness level. After a significant amount of prodding, I went with a friend of mine to a Top Performance Fitness Bootcamp. My first TPF bootcamp was HARD, really effin' hard! But I swear to all of you that I felt high as a kite on the endorphins that it kicked off for at least 24 hours afterwards. i'd be lying if I said that TPF bootcamps are a not a bitch, but they are the kind of bitch that you need in your life to get your ass in gear. I don't do get to do them three times a week like some of the other diehard bootcampers, but I try to keep it in my workout repertoire once a week. It helps to keep me motivated in my other workouts as well. I am proud to say that I now work out regularly, several times a week. I have dropped a solid chunk of weight and I am continuously getting stronger and more fit. I have never felt so good! And I really have to give a lot of credit to my participation in bootcamp. I have learned a great deal about fitness and proper form from Anthony, the trainer who runs TPF. Besides being a good egg and a sweet guy, Anthony is very knowledgeable in his field and is attentive to each of his clients. He doesn't yell at you like some crazy militant, but always makes sure that everyone is getting a good challenging workout. Bootcamp is never boring, I am challenged in a new way every single week. Plus, we have a pretty good time, there are always tunes and quite a few hearty laughs! I highly recommend it to anyone who really wants to make a change and vastly improve their level of fitness.

The results I have seen working with Founder/Head Trainer Anthony, has been remarkable. Let's just say, I don't go anywhere without getting compliments on how good I look since starting with TPF. The style of training combined with the friendly and professionalism of the staff is hard to beat. TPF's bootcamps have also become part of my regular workout routine, and they are fab! We've developed quite the community and I actually look forward to every sweaty, challenging session. TPF has changed my life forever; my health and fitness have become a priority and I couldn't be happier or feel better. Thank you!

Over the last 15 years I have been coming to the studio on & off. Life has been kicking my ass as it has most of us since 2020 & this past summer I reached my healing warrior limit & realized that I had done much work on healing my emotional & mental wounds, but not physical ones. I had no idea what to except when I started this training, but let me tell you it has exceeded my expectations. Be In Union is just that. It is a powerful community space to Be In Union with yourself & others in the community who we share more in common with than we realize. I always just "did yoga". After these 3 months I now understand what it means to have a practice. I highly recommend taking the ride to this sacred, energetic space to take classes. Know that you can show up as your are, even if you simply made it on the mat & lay there for yourself. The Yoga Teacher training was truly life changing for me. My intention was never to be a teacher, I simply wanted to get back in touch with & heal my body. I am grateful that I am now part of this community I never knew I really had, yet have been part of for 15 years. Goes to show how if we push ourselves past our comfort zones things "we never imagined" are possible. This teacher training was one of the best investments that I have made in myself.
