Good COVID policies, nice that they have quality air filters in the building. All of the staff are great too, the front desk workers remember your name and are always very welcoming.I definitely recommend using their personal trainer program too, especially if you’re just beginning. I felt pretty intimidated for years about fitting working out into my lifestyle because I had no idea where to start, but their trainers are great at breaking things down and explaining the process. Adam, one of their trainers on staff, has been excellent about working w/ my limitations and is very responsive to feedback. It’s definitely worth the extra $$ to get a professional to help you figure out a good routine for your specific needs.It’s a good place, I recommend it to friends.

Best non-university gym in Boston. Reasonable prices, tons of squat racks, tons of cardio machines. Can get very busy but a decent vibe where people get work done.

I’ve been a member of gymit brookline on three separate occasions (moved a bunch). Every time I come back I get in the best shape of my life. It’s super clean, the staff is great. Zero complaints. Tons of machines. Free weights. Literally the best gym I’ve ever been to. Highly highly recommend

Went to go visit my partner in Boston and bought a couple of day passes while I was here. Its well worth the 10 dollars a day if you are only going to be in town for a little while. Make sure to go in the mornings because it does get pretty packed around 7-9am.I did find that a lot of people here do not re-rack their weights nor use the right machine for the exercise they are trying to do. Saw people doing bench press on the squat racks when the bench press station was open. I am all for doing you at the gym but when space is limited I dont think thats cool.Looking forward to going back to GymIt in the future.

Really good basic gym/strength training gym. Go here if you want to work with dumbbells, squat racks, benches, and some accessory lift machines. Not a ton of space for stretching. No classes offered. Super good gym for what it is.

They have so many hidden fees. A month into my $14 per 2-weeks membership i found a surprising $50 “maintenance fee”. I cancelled my membership and they charged $40 “cancellation fee” lols. And you have to pay an additional 2 weeks fees, and with preceding fees that’s over $100 just to get off their membership. Such a scam.

The staff are incredibly courteous, friendly, and helpful. The gym is ALWAYS clean and in good order. The price for anywhere, but especially Boston, is fantastic. The weight room is sufficiently supplied with equipment for the most serious lifter to get a good workout.* Parking is reasonable in price (a paid parking deck, with non-business hours being around a dollar). I would absolutely recommend and have done so with several people.* I did request that the staff pass along my request to the owner for his consideration in obtaining some 105-150 lb dumbbell pairs, even if secondhand, to provide dumbbells beyond the 100 lb limit currently offered. However, this was maybe two weeks prior to COVID-19 closing Boston and likely was forgotten. I will re-approach the subject and update the matter on here to let all of you know.

Would have given it 4 stars if it were more expensive, but for about $1.12 a day, which includes all one-time fees, this is great value. Yes, it may be a bit crowded at peak times, even pre-pandemic, but equipment is all updated and in good shape, place nice and airy, lockers clean, people polite, staff helpful.

Review №16

This gym is a great deal for the average person: GREAT price, good variety in equipment, locker rooms/showers, drinks/snacks available to buy, personal training available, and I think in non-Covid times they may do group exercise classes(? I only joined in September so I’m not too sure). For very serious heavy lifters this might not be the ideal place, but even then I think there would only be a few things missing in terms of weights/equipment and it‘a still an AWESOME deal for the price. I only give 4 stars because the staff members that I have interacted with aren’t very customer-oriented (at least during the hours that I visit). I typically come in very early in the day, and I get it—everyone in the gym is still waking up and feeling a little tired. But it’s very rare for me to get even a “hello” or “good morning” from the folks behind the desk. I also often stand there for quite some time trying to get the scanner to recognize my phone to check in, and usually the staff members continue to sit on their phones without helping me. When I have spoken to them they’ve been perfectly polite and helpful, and they always do the other aspects of their job (like filling wipe bins or reminding customers to keep masks on etc). I just wish they were a bit more outgoing I guess. I’ll continue to work out here and would still recommend this gym to others despite this slight shortcoming.

Scam. They have charged my CC +$100 for NOTHING.I sent theme an email saying clearly that stop my subscription. Instead they said they can froze that.After couple months guess what I found out? They started charging my CC / activated my membership without letting me know, or sending me an email.THE WORST way of doing business during the pandemic.STAY AWAY

I have been a member at Gym It for past 5 years and by far this club has Been the best Club I have been a member of .Gym It is family owned business by people who truly care about their members and do everything possible to make the club a place for people to enjoy their work out .They provide diverse equipments , clean and spacious environment , kind and professional staff , great communication and prompt response to customer concerns .If you are looking for a gym that you can relax and enjoy your work out in a safe and clean environment and deal with professional snd caring staff this is your Gym!Gym It would definitely exceed your expectations at a comparable market price !

Great gym. Clean, easily accessible by train or car. The staff is always super accommodating and feels like close friends. Only thing i would recommend is having a mirror behind the smith machine so that you can better check your form. Otherwise, its a great gym. Highly recommend.

Review №22

Solid place to workout, new equipment, plenty of space, and you never feel rushed. The way they handled the pandemic makes this a 5 star review though. They halted payments pretty early on (unlike BSC) and then let people in on a deal where you could pay a lower rate during the pandemic to get access to the premium membership for the next year. Then once they opened, they required facemasks even tho there was ambiguity in the mass guidelines, created an effective sign up system, and ordered tons and tons of wipes for before and after use of each machine. Worked out well!

Fabulous gym. The free weights are ample for a gym this size and readily available in the mornings. The trainer I worked with was incredible, and prices were reasonable. Worked out here for a couple years and only recently left because I got a new job elsewhere. This is the best value youll find in Boston.

GymIt has fantastic facilities with great staff. Ive been training with Talia for over a year now and I love it. Shes professional and accommodating, always adjusting workouts to focus on areas I need the most help. All of the staff are courteous and helpful when you need it. Most of the patrons are kind and willing to share equipment during busy hours. Great vibes and great place.

Review №26

WORST experience ever! DO NOT GO HERE.Tried to cancel my membership over 2 months ago, had sent an email to cancel and received confirmation and was STILL charged for 2 months. The company had also sent out email telling members they could not freeze their accounts during the beginning of covid, so everyone was being charged. I had spoke to the manager and he refused to give me refund as “it was not the companies fault and they only had a few employees, how were they supposed to monitor every email sent”. After 20 minutes of the manger yelling and talking over me on the phone, he concluded that an email is not proper documentation, but then would ONLY verbally confirm my canceled membership WITHOUT a refund, as a again they don’t know what to tell me.This company takes advantage of people during a national crisis.GYMIT also does not take Responsibilities for their ever changing policies.

Theres no better spot for getting some meat on you. Never crowded, all the free weights you could ask for. Open late, cheap as dirt, right next to the train. The gear is clean, and it always works. The staff is friendly and easy to talk to. Theyve got a handy app so you can easily keep track of your workouts.I dont really know why the hell anyone bothers with the other gyms in the area, this is the best one Ive dealt with in the entire city.

An amazing staff and all equipments that you could ask for. Even though this place gets packed during peak hours (after work), arrive here a little early to conquer the machines at your convenience. Oh and the hydro massage chairs are simply the best for easing sore muscles. Its hard to get anything better for this cheap !!

Lots of gyms have extras and that can be nice but if youre looking to get in and work out like their motto says you cant get a better deal. The have enough machines that Ive never had to shuffle my routine and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The garage in the back will cost you around a dollar for an hour with a validated ticket.

Review №42

Awesome deal for the price. 20 dollars a month gets you a pretty good size gym with lots of machines and weights. I understand that with this low cost, there are no towels provided, but who the eff has their own work out towel? Not I! Also the locker rooms could use a bit of work, but overall not that bad. Definitely a ton of meat head crossfit weirdos here so be aware, they will most certainly judge you when you try to lift weights and arent lifting 2000 pounds. Sorry BRO!

Review №43

The gym itself is very clean, they have a pretty good selection of equipment, the staff is pretty nice and the prices are quite reasonable especially for the area. My only negative comment would be that I have been going on and off for about 3(?) years now and the locker rooms in particular the shower area has definitely gotten a little grimy over that time. I think they need to do a better job of keeping that up to par. Other than that though it is a good price for a pretty good gym.

Review №44

Staff is friendly, but it’s not a very lifter friendly gym. It only has regular commercial barbells, and the plates are weird. Chalk also isn’t allowed which is a bummer. I guess it’s a good gym if you’re not too serious about training, or just workout to stay fit. The first time you go is free so that’s a plus.

Review №45

I was a member here for many years before moving out of state. Its always a hassle trying to quit a gym, but rest easy if thats keeping you from joining. Everyone was polite and reasonable when I canceled. No hoops to jump through just a simple request.While I was a member I was always pleased by the friendly staff, the clean facility and the frequent updates to equipment. I still cant believe how affordable it is compared to the other gyms in the area.The only really negative thing I can say is that it gets insanely crowded between 4pm and 7pm, but really what gym in the world isnt crowded at that time?

Review №46

This gym is terrible. The trainers ignore you, and disrespect your personal area when using the gym. I PAY FOR THE GYM TOO, that should at least get me the right to be treated with respect. Rather than asking you to move if they need equipment or space they force you out of the way.This gym also advertised falsely. When my fiancé and I first signed up for the gym we were told a lot of things were included such as a free personal training session, and free body compositions. This was major factor in our consideration to join the gym. However, the VERY NEXT WEEK everything had changed. None of this was included in the VIP membership that we have now. The only thing that is included beside hydro massage chairs is classes that are so hard for most people to make that they dont occur. Nor were we told about this change. We found out when we reached out for personal training. It took over a month for a response and the gym owners reached out to us after a poor review.This staff is the worst. The equipment is fine, but the staff is so immature and rude.

Review №47

Great prices if you get the bare minimum. $20 for basic membership, with charges for other stuff if requested. Gym has all the basic equipment you could need, and a lot of fitness oriented equipment so you dont have to wait. Very clean as well. For parking, go to the lot on Drummer street. If you validate, its $1 per hour for up to 3 hours (then $3 for every hour after that).

It is super affordable and for the price Ive been paying in the past for the memberships at other gyms, at Gymit I can have semi private sessions. Excited to start training with Steven and he seems to be very knowledgeable and fun!Also kudos to bootcamp trainers!

Review №63

Pros - 24/7 during weekdays so lots of flexibility, broken machines dont seem to stay broken, relatively clean facility, prices are reasonableCons - They have a webpage for your payment and membership, but most changes to membership have to be done in person (upgrades or purchases can be done, but not downgrades or cancellations). Kind of a scam in that regard.I really like this place. I work odd hours so typical gym hours dont quite work for me. This was close to my work, so I could go straight from there, so I signed up. Their equipment is fairly clean and staff do a decent job maintaining them.Im not sure if this person still works there, but there was someone that was always there late at night. They were friendly at first, and I really liked that. That, however, was a ruse. One day, they started pitching to me a pyramid scheme. They wanted me to sit down with them outside their work hours and persuade me to join them. I stated that I was uninterested, but every time I showed up, they would make the new pitch.I began to go to the gym less and less to try to avoid them. Additionally, I changed my place of employment, so it was now a decent drive there and was no longer convenient. They have a webportal for management of your account, so I tried to cancel my membership there. Looking around, I couldnt find anything regarding cancellation. So, I called to try to get an answer. I was informed that I couldnt cancel through the web portal or by calling. I had to come in to the facility...This is a business tactic, which is a tad scummy. There is absolutely NO REASON you can not cancel through a website or on the phone. They claim its for security reasons but its for the following two.1. If its inconvenient to come in person for you, that means you wont cancel the membership right away. And you may forget even.2. They want to be able to convince or pressure you into not canceling.

Review №68

GymIt has been my gym now for almost a year, and Im absolutely devastated to be moving away from it. It is by far the nicest and cheapest option around the area, and is never too busy to the point where I cant complete a workout. I use all the free weights and machines, and all of it is always in great condition. GymIt is always maintaining their equipment (Replacing padding, cleaning cables to keep moving smoothly, etc) and providing members with the latest fitness necessities. And its under $40 a month for the VIP membership (guest access, unlimited class participation, use of their other location in Watertown) with no commitment! You can even freeze your membership for very little money so if, say, youre a student and you go home for the summer, you dont have to pay the registration fee once you come back.This is all UNHEARD OF in Boston. Not to mention it is super accessible even if you dont have a vehicle by bus (route 57) or the train (B Line Branch). Overall, the best gym in Boston for someone who wants to NOT break the bank and work around their changing lifestyle.
