It is not a normal gym, as you will sign up for group classes set on specific days and at specific times. Once you do, you'll be in a small class (usually less than 10), with two trainers giving you plenty of attention. Speaking of trainers, they recruit the best and the brightest, including my trainer, Anna Tocco, who is a ball of energy. It works out to be about $20 a session. You'll work up a sweat, but not simply for the sake of sweating - over the course of each 4 month session there is a plan to make you stronger, better conditioned, and less injury prone. You'll be doing the same workouts the pro athletes there are doing (when I was there, the NFL combine prep was in full swing), which some modifications of course (and obviously not at the same weights). They make great use of the astroturf for sprinting amd plyo work. Plenty of olympic weight racks. Penty of slideboard work too, which is awesome. No question, this is the gold standard.

I really enjoy this gym--my boyfriend and I have been members for some time now and the only…read moreproblem we ever had was with the TVs on the elliptical/treadmills not working (this was resolved long ago, thankfully!) They have a good number of cardio machines and weights along with a back room where you can watch work out programs (we really like this feature and have used it a few times). They also have bathrooms with showers (male and female). It's generally pretty quiet so we rarely have a hard time getting machines. The only reason I am docking them a star is because of their staffed hours. I understand they cannot be staffed 24/7, and I've personally never had a problem, but on a few occasions my boyfriend and I have been in the gym and noticed people loitering outside. On one occasion we left and the gentleman outside (who had been waiting outside for around 25 minutes) asked us if there was anyone inside and we said no. This was a Saturday and apparently he had called and they said they would be there from 11-3 (same hours posted on the door), but there it was 2:00 and no one was there. A similar event happened on another Saturday but it was earlier in the day, around 11:45 when we left the gym (again hours said 11:00-3:00) but no one was there. The poor guy had waited outside for quite some time and had obviously gone out of his way (we saw him go to his car, we can luckily walk over), only to find that no one was there to show him around/sign him up. Saturdays are obviously a busy day for sign ups/inquiries because a lot of people probably work late on weekdays and can't make it over. I think it would be a good idea to post signs on the door if the place won't be staffed as promised. Otherwise great gym! Maybe call ahead before you head down to sign up and make sure that someone will actually be there, though it seems they leave early sometimes so you never know?

The spa remains out of service since they reopened after a two-week shutdown for the "remodel." Consequently, from September until now, we've been unable to use the hot tub during one of the coldest starts to New England's long winters! When I inquired about updates from any of the managers, including the Operational Manager, I received a response of "No Update" and a dismissive attitude, as if I didn't care at all!

Whew. Whoever came up with that bright idea, I hope no longer works there! I came back here out of curiosity after a good 1-2 years away after discovering the Waltham Y, which is about the same drive time from where i live (Arlington) but is open later and has a sauna which this Woburn location lacks (they do have a steamroom), and is generally a much more pleasant environment. Now it appears that Woburn Y has extended its hours so that it closes just 30 minutes earlier M-Thu (9:30pm), 1 hour earlier on Fridays (7pm), and the same time on Sat/Sun (6pm)...so they're almost there! Everything is about the same as I remembered, except they have moved the one squat cage in the main functional fitness/cardio central area to the front workout room next to two other squat cages, where all the free weights and the one pulley multi-station is, making it even more crammed/crowded than before. The weight plates are strangely mismatched, which makes things a bit awkward if you are using one of the squat stations at the same time as folks are on the other two squat stations as well as the leg press machine, all of which share this random (3 different kinds!) weight plate collection. Now, God help you if you come here to lift weights during the peak 5-7pm period: I swear, it's just as bad as Planet Fitness in terms of being packed in there like sardines! Must be hell whenever there's a flu, cold, or covid bug going around. Oh, and remember what I said about "too bad this place lacks a sauna"---well, actually it DOES have a sauna: i.e. this front weights area, where the AC either doesn't work or is kept at 82F!!! Yep, while the main central area was probably a very comfy 68-72F, pretty much everybody in this cramped little space was sweating buckets! Luckily the day I went, everyone must've remembered to use deodorant because nobody particularly stank...but I can imagine how bad it must be on those days when somebody does! It seems like this Y's management has made a conscious decision to relegate lifters to second-class status, keeping the largest and most pleasant space in the center of the gym, with floor-to-ceiling glass views of the swimming pool and main street, for the "functional fitness" and dubious Life Fitness strength machines users. I'm guessing it's for cold, hard dollars-and-cents economic reasons, i.e. to promote personal training. People who lift weights usually know what the hell they're doing and are far less likely to shell out $50-70/hour for personal training. So I did notice a number of personal trainers with their clients in that central area, but for the most part the it was far less densely packed than the front weights area. Sigh, capitalism...
