Great gym at a good price. Always clean with plenty of equipment and a super convenient location. If you are looking to train I highly recommend Jenn. She is extremely knowledgeable and her programs are progressive and challenging.

I have been going to Assembly Sport Club for almost one year. The location is convenient, the space is comfortable, the environment is clean, the staffs here are friendly and nice. The most important thing is my Personal Trainer, Jenn, she is very good, patient, and enthusiastic. If u want to have a Personal trainer here, Jenn will be ur best choice.

I have been training with Jenn Tracy for a few months and she is the reason why I am a member at Assembly Sports Club. I put on 15 pounds of muscle in my first 10 weeks with her and have improved as an athlete. Jenn has a way of keeping you motivated and engaged, and more importantly, she makes working out fun. I have had multiple trainers over the last 10 years and she is by far the best. I would not even consider training with anyone else!!

I have been going to Assembly for three months now and I have been working out with the trainer Jenn. I really like coming to ASC as the gym is clean, they have a friendly staff and I never have to wait even when it is busy as there are lots of free weights, weight machines and cardio equipment. My results have been great. I am really tired after each session but the workouts are fun and Jenn does a great job encouraging me and making things interesting. Each session we do new exercises and she has even sent me extra ones to do when I can’t get in to see her. She also is very flexible with her schedule and is able to meet with me after work which is pretty late. I am not focusing solely on the number on the scale but building muscle, getting stronger, and being healthier overall. I know with Jenn’s help I will be successful in reaching my goals.

WARNING - DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM.Overpriced, restrictive, and inflexible with customers.tl;dr - go to the planet fitness that is <1mile down the road. You get the exact same gym experience and pay <1/3 of the price.Said simply, this gym is an OVERPRICEDPlanet fitness. They restrict what you're allowed to do (no deadlifts for example) and they only have free weights up to 60lbs. This place is covered in signs that tell you if you disobey they rules they can terminate your membership immediately.On top of that, ASC charges over 3x what planet fitness charges on a monthly basis AND they have a $50 annual fee + $50 sign up fee. You'd think with that cost that they gym and bathrooms would be kept clean/updated - WRONG. The machines are outdated and the bathrooms (showers specifically) are disgusting. Given the level of service you receive, both fees seems like they are going to the ownership's pocket instead of your gym experience.Lastly, I signed up for the free 30 day trial and decided to pay for the membership while I found another gym that was equally suitable for my friend and I. (this part is my fault) but I was unaware of the fact that once the membership started I was charged all the fees + first and last months dues. Shortly after (4 days to be exact) I requested to change from the platinum service ($35 per month) to the normal membership ($30 per month) and in order to do so they would charge me an ADDITIONAL $50 sign up fee. I explained the situation and management doesn't care.

Started @ assembly sports club back in September when I moved to Somerville. Out of all the local gyms this one is by far the cleanest and most well kept. The free training session is a nice touch & I ended up signing on for training sessions w/ Jenn Tracy. I've had many personal trainers in the past & Jenn is the first one where I actually look forward to my sessions. She took the time to craft a workout regiment AND diet that fit my body type & goals. So far so good - major progress! Thank you Assembly Sports Club and thank you JENN!!

Been to various gyms around the world within the last 5 years. This is definitely one of my favorites.It's affordable, spacious, all machines are in really good condition (never seen an 'out of order' sign) and the gym staff is helpful and friendly.Had a great time with Jenn (booked a personal training) and got lots of new ideas and support for my workout plan :)

Clean, courteous, and convenient, this gym has it all. Whether you’re just getting into fitness or a certified gym rat, you’ll find what you need and be able to get a great cardio or weight training workout in here. The staff is polite and always helpful. As a 3 year member, I worked out both on my own and with a trainer. I began working out with Jenn when I hit a tough plateau and and she was able to take me to the next level through a diet, exercise, and supplementation plan at a price that was within budget. She made my goals absolutely attainable and I couldn’t be happier with my results. Thanks Assembly and Jenn!

Assembly Sports Club is a great gym. From the owners, to the front staff, to the guys cleaning the floor, they all work to make it feel very friendly and welcoming and keep the gym clean and bright. They have a great mix of equipment and weights for everyone's ability. There is a good selection of classes and other services to get while you are at the gym. My personal trainer Jenn has helped me reach my goals and her and the other trainers keep me motivated with their words of encouragement all while providing me with workout routines that are challenging and fun. She is very flexible to match me busy schedule and is always checking to make sure I am staying on plan.Not only do I go here but my entire family is members of the gym. I would recommend Assembly Sports Club to anybody.

I've been going to this gym for over a year now. This gym is super clean and not crowded like other gyms I've been to in the past. I enjoy the classes they have to offer as well. They have early morning classes and evening ones. You are bound to find one that fits your schedule. I've been working out with a personal trainer Jenn. She is amazing. She sends me a workout schedule to do on my own. This workout schedule is geared towards me. I've been working out for over a year with her now. She definitely pushes me and I must say I am so happy with my results. My core is so much stronger and just happy all around. She also helps me stand in correct form. I've would definitely recommend going to Assembly Sports Club and highly recommend asking for Jenn if you decide to have a personal trainer.
