    This is by far the best gym you can go to. The people here are super nice and you work so hard…read morehere. I recommend Mike boyles.

    The very best strength and conditioning facility in the country. Don't believe me? Men's Health…read moreagrees (http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/america_s_best_gyms/Mike_Boyle_Strength_Conditioning.php). If you live in Boston, you'll need a car to get out here. 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.

    LA Fitness gym in Stoneham is a pretty decent gym with Pros and Cons…read more I recommend LA Fitness gym for the facility. For the benefits... the gym is big and spacious, has nice amenities (sauna, pool, and hot tub), and recently got a big remodeling makeover. The facility looks much nicer. For the downsides... the gym is not a very friendly and sociable place; and not a place to make new friends. And the staff at the gym is usually friendly when you're signing up but after you're a member they ignore you. Stoneham might be a geographical location of unfriendly people. Before I joined LA Fitness gym, I went to BSC gym in Woburn for a good 7 years before the location closed down shortly after the pandemic. Boston Sports Club gym was awesome! A staff member would always say Hello when you walk in the gym when you scan your card. I used to say hi to dozens of people at the gym and chat briefly occasionally. Lots of staff, trainers, members and me were connected on social media Instagram and would view and click like each other's posts and stories. BSC gym was the best gym I've been to! LA Fitness gym has a very different atmosphere of people. Normally when you walk in during the evening hours after 6pm to scan your card, they ignore you. One staff member walks to the other side of the desk and turns around so he won't see you, another staff member usually walks over to the customer service area when people walk in, and another staff member sits at the computer occupied on his cell phone. The only person that says hello to members that walk in is the Operations Manager Nicolas if he's not overly busy, is the only friendly person there, and leaves at 6pm. When I used to go in after 6pm, I didn't get a hello for at least 3-4 or 6 months and ignored daily by the front desk staff. Nowadays, I basically try to get in before 6pm while Nicolas is still there and it's a pleasant atmosphere; and before the antisocial staff comes in to cover the check-in area for the night. Also, one day on the gym floor last year I said Hi to a staff member (Asst GM) and he walked right passed me and just ignored me. Maybe he was having a bad day, I'm not sure. Also, a lot of LA Fitness staff are afraid to be connected to one another on social media Instagram. Most of them have 1,000+ Instagram followers, probably 100's of people they don't even know. But when a member sends a friend request to be connected and get to know one another, they get nervous with adding you. It's also not a friendly place with members. There are only a few people I say hi and chat briefly with and a majority of them are former BSC members that started going here too. Most members try not to make eye contact when you walk by them and some are occupied on their cell phones. One day when I was working on chest workout for the day, the first machine I always use is the incline bench press machine and there's only 2 of them. Both of them were occupied by members and both of them were using their cell phones while I was waiting behind them. I looked up at the clock and they were using their phone for a whole 5 minutes then finished their last set and left. I leave my cell phone in the locker when I workout so I'm not distracted and not delaying other member's workouts. Also, when another member left the bench press machine, he left his cell phone there. I used the bench press after him and thought he might come back to grab his phone but he didn't. I brought it over to him when I finished working out and asked if it was his. He grabbed the phone and threw it in his bag and said it was his. Very rude and not even a thank you. I should have just left his phone on the floor and he could pick it up from lost and found if someone turns it in. I've been trying to ask around people I know to join the gym as referrals so I have more familiar people there to say hi to. Unfortunately, most people are happy with their own gyms or it's too far for them. Aside from being a very unfriendly location, it's a very nice facility. I recommend LA Fitness gym for the facility.

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!

    Happy to see that this YMCA's website now finally does allow you to see how much membership…read morecosts---for a while they required you to share email & phone info in order to receive that info, after which they'd bombard you with nagging calls & emails if you didn't sign up immediately. 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...
