    Great instructors. My daughters were able to learn swimming in a reasonable time, and one of them was able to become a life guard.

    If you need a good gym to lift marshmallow-like weights and leave you sweatless and pretty after a…read morework out, this is definitely not the place to go. At Strength and Honor Fitness, it will make you drool, sweat in places that you didn't know can sweat, AND just as a caution, you probably don't want to eat an hour before coming for a session here or else you might find your meal beautifully displayed on the ground. This is the perfect gym to kick your butt into shape! I have a love-hate relationship with this place. I wonder why I put myself through, the gym owner and instructor, Matt Keller's ever creative personal hell... But when the results begin to show, I know it's all worth it to suck up the pain, so I won't have to suck it in later when I'm wearing that gorgeous dress! I say, give it a try. He even offers a free evaluation session to let you see what the class is like and if you're up for the challenging classes. There's nothing for you to lose, maybe, except for a couple of pounds!

This is…read moreunquestionably the major leagues, so if you want to challenge yourself like no other place, then Strength and Honor is the place for you. Not for the procrastinators, or weak minded. About 45 minutes of pure hell but the results speak for themselves. He also has a beginner class for the ones who are not quite ready for complete torture. People are great! Equipment is top notch and Matt... a magician that finds new methods and equipment endlessly... every day its something different. Never ever the same workout over the past six years! Nuff said.

    Top notch gym. Great people and unlike the bizarrely left wing "Planet Fitness" this place is truly…read more"Judgement Free" (Planet Fitness tagline). I am mentioning the competition because I see great gyms like this having to compete with gimmicky places that are not at all conserved with fitness (see one of 100+ videos on YouTube about this). They clientele ranges from people who are totally out of shape to Elite athletes. The great thing about the severely out of shape clientele is that they don't stay that way for long (awesome). I heard someone talking about how being in the Gold's Gym Bridgewater environment really helped then get in shape, a place where people mind there own business but are totally willing to help if asked. The member had previously been at "Planet Fitness" and had no access to any real guidance and were (literally) fed pizza at this Walmart of Fitness (the high cost of low price). It is this conversation I had with a member that made me think to compare and contrast these businesses with VERY different motives again, look up Planet Fitness on YouTube, if it sounds like I have something against them it's because I do, I don't like seeing people getting mislead and taken advantage of. A true nurturing environment is one where people who are competitive bodybuilders/true athletes are totally willing to (if asked) to help out anyone who asks and those that are new are welcomed by the training staff and members alike, just a great vibe. I myself came in pretty out of shape and in a few months I am on my way back to being in great shape, I attribute a lot of this to the top-notch equipment and pleasant environment of this gym. The environment/energy of a place like this is extremely important because you have to A) want to be there and B) feel motivated while you are, do not underestimate this, it is a huge reason that if you want to look good,great or totally ripped you need to be comfortable and motivated in a place that is serious about your fitness.

    Be cautious before signing up. I was surprised to find out I…read morehad unknowingly committed to an 18-month membership. The representative I spoke with was not transparent about the contract terms, and I didn't realize the full commitment until later. I strongly recommend asking for a copy of the contract in advance and reading it thoroughly before signing anything. Don't rely solely on what's verbally explained.

    Yet another awesome workout at OTF Somerville…read more Making a booking through the app was a breeze. The check-in process was seamless. Coach Tansey was a bundle of energy and kept the class motivated thru the 60 minutes. Great way to get the year started. The treadmills are the older model which was the only improvement opportunity for the studio. Will definitely come back when I'm back.

    I'm disappointed in this studio. I received an email and text reminder to show up 30 minutes early…read morefor my very first class on 1/2/26. I was attending a 6:15am class so I arrived at 5:40am. There wasn't anyone at the desk for 25 minutes because the lady that was supposed to help me check in was actively working out in what I assume was the 5am class. Once she finally arrived at the desk and I was sitting right in front of her, she barely acknowledged me. I walked up to the desk and she just told me to write my name down. I told her it was my first time there and she pointed in different directions to quickly explain where the amenities. Unfortunately, there was minimal effort to help someone attending their first class at this studio. Additionally, I had a simple email issue that their help desk needed to resolve so I could finally book my additional classes. Ultimately, I had to call multiple times and ask for the reference number of the ticket so I could resolve the issue myself. I'll give 2 stars because the coaches I've experienced (Amy, Becca, Brett, and Brendan) all had great classes. I was hoping for the best, but I will not be returning to OTF somerville.

The team helped me with some important stretching I could handle but my brain needed a nutrition & lifestyle reeducation to help me beat Diabetes and be prepared to strengthen my body. I was temporarily in a wheelchair and Karen ran over to bring me a container of protein powder shake mix. This helped contain my sugar reading swings but I needed more intervention with my diet. Karen & I surfed the web to find a program that meets my needs. In just a few days, my sugar readings are at a consistent in range that I haven't seen ever in 10 years as a diabetic. Now I'm 2 weeks into this shift in lifestyle. I'm walking a whole lot better, Anthony is building back my strength, we are discussing how to maintain this progress when I travel on business. Life is complicated. I knew I was not going to succeed by myself. Karen and Anthony really care about their clients and in a few short months I'm in a direction I thought I'd never see. My Endocrinolgist was happy surprised at my levels and thinks this direction will absolutely impact reducing my very high A1C. So, bottom line, LFTD Fitness is a great team. Very inclusive. Meet people in similar challenges. It's 1000x better to have a coach vs a gym membership for $9.99 a month. Get results when you work with LFTD Fitness

    In my opinion, this day care is THE BEST DAY CARE in town (and neighboring towns). Let me start off…read moreby saying, that similar to many parents, I researched many daycares before choosing a location. In addition, my child attended two other day cares before we landed here. The way the teachers interact with the children is wonderful to see. The teachers are firm and consistent in their approach to bad behavior (ie. removing the child from the space, talking to them, explaining why, etc.). They are kind and patient, they teach, they have fun (art, shaving cream, dancing). It's truly the BEST DAYCARE IN TOWN. My daughter has learned so much!!!!! Examples - ABC's, sign language, how to write, even some Spanish colors, and so much more. The Director, Johana is phenomenal, as well. My daughter was having a behavioral issue 2-3 months into joining. She was ok with the other children but she was not listening to the teachers and displaying behavior that was not her normal behavior. I believe this was because we just changed daycares and in parallel I was transitioning her into her own room / bed. Johana sat me down and explained all the issues and the impact it was having. She gave some recommendations on what we could work to implement, together, to try and rectify the problem. She was also very clear on how long we had to try and implement a solution (before we would need to change schools). All things I truly appreciated because there was over communication on the problem, a willingness to work together to try and resolve the issue, and a clear deadline. In the end, I was finally able to get through to my daughter and her morning statements of "I don't want to go here!!!" changed into "I can't wait to tell Ms. Caila XYZ" or greeting Mrs. Johana on the way to excitedly join Ms. Temu's class. Their willingness to try and work with you (as a parent) and their dedication to providing a safe, fun, and educational place for all the children is impeccable. You won't regret sending your child, here.

    Can't say enough wonderful things about Lightbridge Academy, my son thrives and is always happy to…read morecome here. As a parent one of the most important things is to know your child is safe and well taken care of and this is exactly what we feel here. Nothing can compare to having peace of mind knowing that our son is in good hands. Also, the staff and teachers are wonderful and easy to communicate with. We are beyond happy with Lightbridge Academy! Keep up the good work! :)
