Dave Balogh at Train Boston exemplifies the best of physical therapy. He is dedicated to the rehabilitation and enhancement of movement and overall quality of life. His approach to care is comprehensive and patient-centered, addressing my issues from ankle injuries to rotator cuff concerns with expertise. Dave's dedication to his patients is evident in the way he tailors manipulation techniques and exercises to each individual's needs, fostering not only physical healing but also confidence in the ability to move and live actively. His ability to improve mobility in my foot and ankle and address my tight calves and IT band demonstrates a deep understanding of the body's mechanics and the interconnectedness of its parts. With hands-on manipulation and a carefully selected exercise regimen, Dave has made significant progress in treating my long term and rather complex issues, reflecting his commitment to his patients' recovery. Dave's caring nature and pleasant demeanor contribute to a healing environment where I felt supported and motivated. His excellence in physical therapy goes beyond technical skill; it's his genuine concern for his patients' well-being that truly sets him apart as a superb therapist. In a world where healthcare can often feel impersonal, Dave stands out as a physical therapist who not only heals but also heartens, making each step of the recovery journey a positive experience. I would highly recommend Dave Balogh for anyone in need of physical therapy. His ability to connect with patients, understand their concerns, and work diligently towards recovery is truly commendable. Dave's dedication to his craft and his patients makes him a standout therapist who not only meets but exceeds expectations. His positive impact on my recovery journey is a testament to his skill and caring nature, making him an invaluable asset to the Train Boston team and to all those he assists. read more

I found TrainBoston three years ago for my PT after a microdiscectomy. Dave did my PT and was wonderful. He got me going again really fast. From there, I went into personal training and then their classes. Even though I'm getting old (not TrainBoston's fault), I'm in the best shape of my life (to TrainBoston's credit), notwithstanding that I'm just now rehabbing from knee surgery (also not TrainBoston's fault). Jeff's post-operative knee experience and knowledge is unparalleled, and he and Michelle are doing a wonderful job working me back into shape. In between, I've worked with Kevin, rehabbing me from a partially torn/strained hamstring. All in all, the PT has been fantastic. A major key to the PT is the incredible training I get from Emily. She's become an indispensable part of my health and well-being. Her thoughtful workouts, knowledge of my conditions and conditioning and willingness to push me to my limits are outstanding. I've also worked out with Chris, and more recently Danielle and Garrick. Everybody has been knowledgeable and caring and have been willing to push me to get great workouts. Finally, Terry, and Andy at the front desk, have provided great service. From Terry responding to my first email at 11:00 on a Saturday night 20 minutes after I emailed TrainBoston after my back surgery, to helping me schedule PT and sign me up for class packages, they've made everything incredibly easy. All in all, TrainBoston has been great! Phil R. read more

Train Boston is not a typical gym, it is more a hybrid of an elite training facility, a physical therapy practice and a fitness facility servicing everyone from young teens to the elderly. Some days you will see professional athletes, members of a high school athletic team and the waking wounded all using the facility. I have been a Train Boston client/patient for over 15 years. I injured my back over 35 years ago playing lacrosse and during the time that I have trained at TB, my symptoms have been greatly reduced and I am able to engage in my day to day activities with minimal interruption. Unfortunately, I have suffered two injuries over the past two years that resulted in surgery and required physical therapy. My orthopedic surgeon conveniently recommended TB for my physical therapy and I have recovered from my first injury and am making great progress with my more recent issue (do not play flag football at Gillette Stadium when you are over 60!) I have received excellent service from the trainers at TB, like Emily, and the physical therapists including Kevin and Dave. Also, Tim, the principal, has always given me excellent advice and service over the years. The staff, including Terry the Manager, are great. A few weeks ago when I was visiting Gillette Stadium, one of the Patriots trainers spoke highly of Train Boston. I highly recommend TB and hope to be a client for many more years. read more

Train Boston is awesome! I am 56 years old and started coming two years ago when I was not in very good shape. The staff was professional, supportive and encouraging. I now look forward to going (most of the time) at least three times a week for classes and I'm in the best shape of my life!! Seriously....I may not have the body I had 30 years ago but I have more strength, coordination, balance and energy today than I have ever had in my life. It took a little time but the patience and customization that you get at Train Boston is unlike anything I've ever seen....even in the classes....the trainers take the time to understand your body and what you need to meet your desired outcomes. The trainers and PT's are really wonderful and the manager is an inspiring leader that holds the whole place together!! The team and the customers just love her!!! Whether you've never been to a gym or have been to "the usual" gym, this experience will be unlike anything you've had before and you will be thrilled with the outcome.....give it a try....its never too late. So, regardless of the shape you're in...become a possiblitarian...no matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights to see possibilities-always see them-for they are always there!! read more

Train Boston's PTs are thorough and effective. I like the way they always explain what they are doing and why you should do certain exercises. The small group trainings (with a personal trainer) are challenging, and the trainers help you do the exercises to your ability, even though there are other people in the group (up to 6-7). The office manager, Terry, is wonderful and is always moving around the building making sure everyone is happy with their services and training. I especially loved my pilates teacher, who is the most knowledgeable and creative pilates instructor I've ever worked with. They have youth programs, too, including a tween group which my son attended. There is also a nice presence of older people, so it's obvious that all people are welcome. There is always room on the cardio machines and the weight room, and the people in the weight room are not meat heads, so there's no reason to avoid the weight room. overall, it's a great gym and physical therapy center. A lot smaller than you're probably used to and a different set-up than you're used to, but it's much more effective where everyone is welcome. (I didn't receive a freebie and I'm not connected to the owners, so please consider my review legitimate.) read more

I can't say enough about everyone at Train Boston. I'm in my mid-40's and multiple joints and parts are failing me. I've had shoulder surgery, and have thus far successfully managed to avoid surgery on other parts and am living a pretty pain free life. This is all thanks to the TB PT staff and my personal trainer, Emily. The depth of knowledge and experience, as well as the truly individualized approach, is unmatched. Another equally important constant at TB is the unmatched positive attitude the PT and training staff has. Not in an annoying, Disney fake way; they just keep your spirits up, help you celebrate each accomplishment and meeting goals (even the small ones), and support you getting back to the functional pain-free person we all want to be. They are constantly getting new equipment. And they steer clear of trends, preferring to use sound principles of health and fitness to keep people healthy, happy and strong. read more

I have worked out at Train Boston for over three years mostly to get back into shape for retirement! More recently I went for PT following two rotator cuff operations. In a word they are excellent. I think it is a matter of the depth of experience and the professional approach of the staff. Their sessions are consistently varied and always targeted to my needs. They have created a culture which pulls on their knowledge and takes a positive approach to an activity that should be fun and not just some kind of obligation. That all sounds like something everyone might claim, but in this case these comments have the benefit of being true. My experience over the years at three other such operations was not even close- one was in Cambridge, another in Wellesley and a third at a local hospital. And there is plenty of parking and plenty of towels! read more

BEST fitness experience I've ever had. The staff is competent, attentive, professional, genuine and fun. That's not just the trainers, that's everyone. I look forward to my hour at TrainBoston, where I get to turn my brain off and enjoy a phenomenal group workout. I've been going for 2 years and haven't done the same workout twice. The most important factor to me is the professionalism of the trainers. I'm able to complete challenging exercise routines without ever feeling back pain. Back pain was my biggest hesitation to begin this workout program since I've thrown out my back several times in the past (before working out at TrainBoston). This is an organization I plan to have as part of my life for a long time. I'd recommend you give this place a look before you settle for a regular gym or other personal trainer. read more

I've been working out at Train Boston for several years, initially personal training and later switched to group training. The trainers, especially Emily in my case, have been fantastic. They really take the time to understand your goals and work around any injuries. They are creative, professional and make it a lot of fun. Fun doesn't mean easy. Emily works us very hard and I always feel a sense of accomplishment getting through her workouts. A key advantage of Train Boston is the coordination between the trainers and PT. Jeff talks with Emily and the workouts include things I need to work on to supplement the PT. Jeff is very diligent and works magic. Same with Dave and Kevin. I highly recommend Train Boston for anyone interested in staying athletic and healthy regardless of age. read more

Between soccer, football, baseball, and lacrosse, my brothers and I have had 15 broken bones, bruised knees, and sprained ankles. Consequently, we have had lots of PT, but, by far, the most effective PT has been at Train Boston. They are efficient, good at diagnosing the best course of action, putting together a plan, and helping us implement the plan. Each time they were right on target whereas some of the other places we went, they did not help us to recover from the injury. Train Boston understands the need to get back on the field as soon as possible, but also the need for the injury to fully heal. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. If you want the best, go to Train Boston! There is a reason they help pro athletes - they are the experts. read more

Train Boston is a top notch health club and training facility with extremely talented trainers and physical therapists. The facility itself is sparkling clean at all times, and has a variety of equipment and spaces for working out. The Individualized Group Training Program - a signature program of Train Boston's - has been the best exercise program I have ever participated in. The trainers know your goals, restrictions, and abilities and make sure that each person in the group gets a workout geared toward those goals. It is an excellent alternative to the expense of a one-on-one trainer, with all the same benefits. And its fun! I highly recommend membership at Train Boston. read more

I have been going to Train Boston for physical therapy and to train for the past two years. Train Boston stands out clearly from any other physical therapy facility that I or my sons have ever used. The professionalism, one on one attention they devote to each client, and results are unparalleled in our experience (one of my son's also has extensive experience with TB physical therapy and training). At other facilities, you feel more like a commodity--left on a table to practice exercises or hooked up to a machine. At Train Boston, the therapist devotes the entire session to you alone. I have had PT from several different therapists and they are all exceptional. read more

Train Boston is AWESOME! Everyone on the staff is friendly and accommodating but most importantly, they provide all the services one could need to recuperate from injury and to keep fit. Last spring I started working with PT Dave who helped me recover from horrible sciatica pain and then have gradually advanced to working with trainers who all communicate with each other and with Dave so that I am never doing something harmful to my condition. I get great works outs and am pain free now. A bonus to going to Train Boston is having a massage with Heidi! She is the best! I am not really a gym person but I love everything about Train Boston! read more

I would like to recommend Jeff, a physical therapist at Train Boston. I believe he saved me from cortisone shots and surgery. I have a rotator cuff tear and small bicep tear. I had been to two other well known physical therapy centers before seeing Jeff. I was at the point of considering surgery and Jeff came highly recommended and I thought I would give it one last try. I am so grateful to Jeff. The other therapists either did not do enough or pushed too hard. With Jeff, he helped me to feel normal again and not in constant pain by just pushing hard enough and with the right exercises. He is truly gifted. read more

By far the best training facility in the area! I have been training here for 2 years and have never once been disappointed. The trainers are unlike any other trainers in the area, many of which I have previously worked with and have been disappointed. The small group training program is exceptional and a real compliment to my personal training sessions. The groups are challenging, fun, and a great value for the price you pay. The overall environment is positive as all of the staff are exceptional and friendly. Always a pleasure walking in to train boston! read more

I have been a Train Boston client since they took over the space 5-6 years ago and have been thoroughly pleased with every part of their operation. The place is clean, the staff and trainers are competent and friendly, the equipment is constantly being updated, and the price is very fair. The General Manager, Terry, is such a pleasant and knowledgable person and makes sure everything runs smoothly every day. Whether you need to recover from an injury or just stay in shape, this is the place for anyone in the Newton, Wellesley or Weston area to go. read more

It doesn't get any better!! Train Boston is a full service facility that provides their clients with the utmost personalize programs contingent to their needs.

Train Boston's physical therapy team are highly skilled experts in the evaluation and treatment in all areas of human movement dysfunctions and their personal trainers are the most dedicated and knowledgable professionals in town! read more

The trainers at Train Boston are smart and technical. They also care very much about getting you back to 100% quickly and safely. It is a real partnership. The results are profound. Train Boston is like a family - everyone knows you and welcomes you, and the PT and trainers collaborate together regarding each case so there is a team of professionals supporting you. They are flexible and responsive - top shelf service. I also highly recommend the classes - tough and effective. read more

I've benefited greatly from the excellent PT services from Kevin. The training staff are great at assessing and working on individualized programs. They are very conscious to take all limitations into a count and work with your specific trading goals and needs. Carrick is excellent. I especially value that the PT staff and the trainers partner together to tie both areas together to create a uniform approach. Terry and the staff are always helpful and accommodating. read more
