I am not even sure 5 stars does this gym justice! 11 years ago I was in a car accident and was told…read moreI would never run/ walk far or work out really again. For 11 years I have been living in constant pain, could not sleep, and tried everything (I mean EVERYTHING). 4-5 months ago I started at lifted fitness after hearing some great things. I was skeptical because my hip (broken in the car accident has never been the same). Pat/Mo/Jordan, and all the instructors have tailored the workouts by giving me modified exercises, helped me with my form, and made me feel like I can do it! After the first two months of working out, and getting stronger, my pain started to go away! (Did I mention that I have not been pain free in 11 years!) I actually started to feel stronger, and see results I had not seen since my accident. The best part of my whole time at lifted fitness is I have been sleeping through the night, pain free, for the first time since my car accident! To be able to sleep pain free has been a dream come true! I never thought I would say this, but this gym has given me my life back. Just when I thought I would never feel normal again, Pat/Mo/Jordan and all the instructors helped me to achieve things I never thought possible. I can not thank them enough! This gym is more than a gym, but a community. Everyone supports/encourages/cheers each other on! The workouts are fun, and fly by! You will not regret giving this gym a try.

Pat and Mo are fantastic! I worked out at lifted for over 6 months and couldn't have asked for a…read morebetter experience. Their strength cycles are top-notch. The classes focus on functional strength and proper form while performing a variety of lifts. I learned a ton and quickly improved my overall fitness. If I hadn't moved out of the area, I'd still be in class every week!

Did a company group training "Train" class with Eli at EverybodyFights Seaport and honestly... I'm…read moreannoyed at how much I liked it. Eli ran a great session: high energy, well-paced, and somehow got a bunch of coworkers to sweat together without it feeling like a corporate trust fall. Full transparency: I'm usually not a fan of classes that force you to pair up with other people (mostly because I'm lazy and prefer to suffer silently on my own), but I have to admit the partner format actually works. It's just enough accountability to keep you moving, without being overly "team-building retreat" about it. After class I took a quick lap around the facility. It's clean, well-maintained, and doesn't have that sad gym smell. Tons of class options, and now I'm very tempted by the heated yoga and the medspa... because if I'm going to work out, I'd like to be rewarded immediately afterward like a Kardashian. Everyone working there was genuinely nice and welcoming. Would absolutely take Eli's class again, and would recommend it if you want a great workout, a fun time with coworkers, or friends and the mild panic of realizing you're capable of more than you thought.

Andrea, the owner of the studio, brings extreme energy to every class she teaches. Andrea also motivates her students and really cares about everyone's personal fitness goals and always has a fun playlist whether its current hits or 80's-90's. The other teachers at East Side are awesome as well! I am always challenged in every class I take and have seen amazing results. Whether I start my day at East Side, or end my day at East Side, I am always looking forward to every class and never look at it as a daunting workout. I recommend East Side Yoga and Fitness to everyone as there are so many diversified classes. All of the teachers are also very relevant in the South Boston community and do some great promotions and out of the box classes to raise money for great causes. If your looking for a fun way to switch up your workout come to East Side Yoga and Fitness! You won't be disappointed.

Stacey has taught me so much of what I know about diet and exercise. I spent so many years as a…read moreperson that felt stuck in a body that NEEDED to be exercised and NEEDED to be restricted to a certain diet in order for it to work and look the way I wanted it to. It made every workout and every meal into a high stakes situation, and I found myself yoyoing between a "nice" and a "gross" body, and beating myself up over every food and exercise-related decision I made. I couldn't make any of my strategies stick, because they ultimately placed too much stress and too much of a burden on myself to be sustainable. I started to work with Stacey with this mindset. Over time, she taught me how to make fitness and healthy eating part of my routine without letting it take over every fiber of my being and also how to have a healthier mindset when it comes to my body. On top of this healthier mindset and approach, I was able to achieve the progress and results I wanted! Her "progress not perfection" approach has changed how I approach my weight, exercise, and diet. One of the biggest things that I've gained through my time with Stacey is the ability to accept that not every bit of this fitness/healthy eating journey will be perfect, but you can always find meaningful signs of progress to keep you feeling strong. On top of all of this, she is an amazing person and trainer. She is so dedicated to her clients and works so hard to help us achieve our goals in a healthy way, and never makes you feel bad about your real life getting in the way. She is always understanding, but blunt and honest about what you need to do to get where you want to be and will always tell you the truth. She makes sure you not only focus on your workouts, but also that you focus on good recovery. Finally, you'll never leave one of her workouts (whether in the small group or larger class setting) wanting more. I can confidently say that working with Stacey is the best thing I've ever done as part of this huge, endless journey that is fitness, bar none.

I knew I hit rock bottom when I didn't go home for Christmas that year and spent it alone. I felt so guilty for being "depressed". I had a bunch of highs and low in 2015 but have been able to finally accept help personally & professionally. I came to Stacey as I was binge eating during my depression and focused on the 15lbs I had gained. My relationship with Stacey isn't about fitness really, it's about being able to be myself and not having to put on a mask. I was always timid about being me, but she has inspired me to be proud of who I am. I am so very thankful to have you in my life. You really mentally & physically helped me gain my life back!

A new gym that opened up in Southie. There's currently no sign outside the building (hopefully…read morethere will be soon), but Iona was right outside the entrance and led us up to the little room. It's slightly confusing to get up to the little space that they have, but there are small signs inside the building along the stairways and hallways. The space itself it probably the size of a large bedroom and is half wood floor and half hard grippy mat material. They have a bunch of weights, rings, ropes, and a hang bar. They do have a small water bubbler next to the shoe racks with a small bench to put your belongings. I took a movement class, which was interesting and time seemed to pass fairly quickly. I signed a quick waiver and Iona promptly started the class with demonstrating some exercises across the floor. Iona explained the class puts an unconventional spin on the normal exercises you would generally do in a typical workout (squats, lunges, planks etc). This class allows you to move your body in different ways that we don't typically move in. All the exercises built off one another with varying difficulties depending on your level of mobility. Iona walked around to check in with everyone during the exercises. We also played a partner tennis ball game that put all the aspects of mobility together that definitely helps with eye-hand coordination. The class ended with "the shake", which you close your eyes and move your shoulders up and down for a solid 5 minutes. It was a really weird way to end the class and I'm not really sure what the purpose for it was. Besides the movement class, they also offer a mobility class, handstands, and open gym (early in the morning and late afternoons/evenings). They also offer personal 1:1 training for people to come in and train during open gym. Your first class is $10 with the code "bodyofwork" while your first month is $99 to take as many classes as you'd like. They also offer a 5 class pack and a monthly membership. If you live in the area and are looking for something different, then I'd give it a try.

Unless Wave replaces this good for nothing manager with someone that actually has some minimal basic decency as a human being, let alone sufficient enough be the manager of a reputable gym in Seaport, members and its staff will rush out and seek the many other gyms in the area.

I wanted to come and see just how upscale this Fitness Center is. To my surprise, it was super clean and spacious, with state of the art equipment, spa quality facilities, plenty of open training space including an indoor swimming pool. One of the reasons I have this love hate relationship with gyms in general is how filthy dirty it can get. Just to know the feeling of how immaculately clean is a major plus for me. This is a full service fitness center that is located in the Seaport Hotel allowing hotel guests complimentary access. This is what I would call a gym for the Elite! All in all, it's a great place with amazing views of the surrounding Seaport District. I just hope people respect the place enough to help maintain its look and keep it clean.

I take the train into the city to North Station, get a workout in, and then walk to my office. I appreciate not having to commute well out of my way for the gym and this is one of the best parts of my day. The staff is very nice and the gym is clean and well kept. There are a ton of dumbbells and cardio machines. The weight lifting machines aren't as plentiful, but you're still able to get some reps in, especially if you go early in the AM (I'm usually there before 7). The locker rooms are good and spacious enough -- I've never had to wait for a shower and there is always room to get ready. Thanks to Republic for helping me stay consistent with my fitness! PS - the check-in process is also very smooth and easy, you just sign in through a Apple wallet badge and you're in!

A year ago, after losing 90…read morelbs, I wanted to focus on my fitness and strength, as well as figure out why I always felt tight around my neck and back. I ended up enlisting in private 1-on-1 training with the owner, Chris. From the start Chris was able assess that my posture and mobility needed improving. He set me up with exercises and dynamic stretches to help me. As my form got better, we started incorporating more strength exercises. A year later, my posture is 100x better than it was, my neck pain has disappeared, and best part of all, being strong and fit has become part of my lifestyle. I've gone from being able to barely do 5 pushups to doing 15. I'm stronger, I'm leaner, I'm more flexible, and as of late, I feel like my body can accomplish more than it ever has. I give all the credit to Chris for his guidance and patience in teaching me how not only lift using proper form, but in how to work on the best exercises that increase my mobility and ability for years to come. This experience has been a life changer. In addition to the 1-on-1 one classes, I've occassionally attended Redemption's group classes which are incredibly challenging, thoughtfully planned, and really fun! I feel so fortunate to have some a valuable resource in my neighborhood.

Totally full of themselves thinking they can charge ridiculous prices for a gym and personal…read moretraining. 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.
