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 don't have to wait. Very clean as well. For parking, go to the lot on Drummer street. If you validate, it's $1 per hour for up to 3 hours (then $3 for every hour after that).

I like GymIt a lot. They have a lot of good equipment and for a decent price! The workers are always friendly and I've never really had any issues with waiting too long for a piece of equipment.

This gym is on the smaller side, but there is a wide variety of equipment including cardio machines, squat racks, benches, free weights, and a TRX system. The staff is friendly, and the lockerooms are kept clean and neat.

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 you'll find in Boston.

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.

Lots of gyms have extras and that can be nice but if you're looking to "get in and work out" like their motto says you can't get a better deal. The have enough machines that I've 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.

Staff has stolen money from my locker while I was working out. Caught them and confronted them, and they tried to deny it. Definitely not worth your money, especially if they are going to take more money from your pockets!!!!

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!

There's 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. They've got a handy app so you can easily keep track of your workouts.

I don't really know why the hell anyone bothers with the other gyms in the area, this is the best one I've dealt with in the entire city.

Very good gym. The staff are friendly. Even at it's busiest the gym is still not overly packed. My only criticism is that I'd like to see more higher quality equipment, such as the racks and plates in the new training zone.

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 aren't lifting 2000 pounds. Sorry BRO!

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 staff is the worst. The equipment is fine, but the staff is so immature and rude.

I was a member here for many years before moving out of state. It's always a hassle trying to quit a gym, but rest easy if that's 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 can't 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 isn't crowded at that time?

The nice and cheap place to get workout

GymIt has been my gym now for almost a year, and I'm 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 can't 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 it's 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, you're a student and you go home for the summer, you don't 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 don't 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.

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.

Scam. They have charged my CC +$100 for NOTHING.

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

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. It's hard to get anything better for this cheap !!

GymIt has fantastic facilities with great staff. I've been training with Talia for over a year now and I love it. She's 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.

Very affordable gym with pretty nice equipment overall, especially for the cost. Not a great place if you're looking for deluxe amenities or lots of classes but great if you just want to go do some cardio or lift. Recently purchased all new weight lifting machines throughout the gym.

I had 2 sets of personal training sessions with Cassi and was very impressed by her dedication and her suggestions for exercises that were suited to my age and physique. I've incorporated many of the exercises into my regular routine and have noticed the difference that it has made to my stamina. Thank you, Cassi!!

Just visiting for the day...Greeted with a smile and always a bonus to take advantage of first visit is free, but would have gladly paid the 10$ drop in fee... So I'm leaving a review instead ;) Plenty of room, clean, organized, unpretentious workout zone! Thank you!

Pros - 24/7 during weekdays so lots of flexibility, broken machines don't seem to stay broken, relatively clean facility, prices are reasonable

Cons - 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 don't 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.

I'm 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 couldn't find anything regarding cancellation. So, I called to try to get an answer. I was informed that I couldn't 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 it's for security reasons but it's for the following two.
1. If it's inconvenient to come in person for you, that means you won't cancel the membership right away. And you may forget even.
2. They want to be able to convince or pressure you into not canceling.

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.

The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Not an intimidating atmosphere at all. My only minor complaint is that there were a few pieces of equipment I wish they had.

Price is very reasonable for Boston.

WORST experience ever! DO NOT GO HERE.

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.

For the price of membership, can't complain at all. Has all the standard equipment you could need for free weights and machines. So far haven't had to much issue waiting for equipment even at peak hours.

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.

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.

The management is very helpful and professional. They are often on site to answer any questions. There is lots of equipment to choose from. In general the gym has a good vibe with polite staff and members.

I miss this gym so much ! This was my gym when I was living in Brookline . Staff is very friendly, they have lots of cardio machines and a good weight area . Always clean. Lots of space and tvs. Also very affordable .

Clean, spacious, and open 24 hours during the week. They have a friendly staff and offer drinks and power bars for purchase, which you can simply put on your account. They also have an app that you can use to check-in. Oh, and TVs!

I just joined few weeks ago and want to support this place with a good review. Staff is super nice and helpful. I had no issues so far with anything. It is super affordable and for the price I've 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!

Worked out here for a number of years. Membership cost was very fair and the equipment was great. Only complaint was that there no free bars for squats(owner told me it was out of consideration for downstairs neighbors, which is understandable).

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.

I don't get how GymIt is $20 dollars a month! It is a great value for the price. Though sometimes the bathrooms are a bit dirty, the equipment is new and the staff is very friendly!

I m a new member and I ve really enjoyed the gym so far. I come in the mornings when it s not busy, so I m able to get in all my sets without interruption. The bathroom/lockeroom is nice and clean. I m glad I joined. I received February free and will be paying $24 monthly after that. If you re wondering whether to join, you should.
