Picked up a lot of weight over the last 10 years after a career change that derailed my fitness routine. My hair stylist recently moved from Newbury Street to the salon at the club, which is how I discovered it and realized how clean, well run, and super conveniently located it is. But it was meeting Jenn that cinched the deal. She keeps me motivated and provides firm but caring guidance. Jenn has helped me shed pounds, and more importantly add muscle in places I never adequately addressed previously. Kudos to Jenn and Assembly Sports Club.

This gym is the worst. I have been a member for almost two years, and paid extra for just going the the classes. During this time we sometimes waited for some instructors up to 10-15 min. Several times the class was canceled and we didn’t even got any heads up. I never complained about this but today they didn’t let me in after I scan my card at 7:30 pm. They said that the class was already closed. I could see the instructor giving the instructions. The staff is really umpleasant and unpolite. Stay away, plenty of gyms in the area. Equipment is also outdated and for some of the threadmills the tvs don’t even work.

I avoided the gym for my entire life, just resigned to the fact that I was always going to be super skinny and there's nothing I could do about it. But at my lowest, I decided to finally make a change in my life and join Assembly Sports Club.It was the exact kick-in-the-ass I needed. I've gained 15 pounds and a ton of confidence in the 4-5 months I've been there. It's a great atmosphere there, everyone is friendly and there's a ton of equipment so you don't feel too crowded or have to wait for what you need.Shout-out out my trainer Jennifer Tracy, who has guided me the entire way. I came into this place at 132 pounds, completely clueless and lacking confidence -- and I've gained the weight, feel so much better about myself and she's taught me a ton about lifting, training, nutrition and discipline. Can't wait to gain another 15 pounds!

The costumer service was horrible, I got attitude and a very aggressive tone. I also felt discriminated and its not the first time. When I ask to speak to a manager, the girl told me that the manager wasn't there but the boss was but I couldn't speak to him. When I ask why she said because he doesn't want people to know who he is, making no sense. So at the end I ended up canceling my membership, best decision ever. For anyone interested in going is not worth it, not with that service.

I guess for a $20 / month gym, I'm not looking for or expecting a full suite of concierge services or a personal staff member to bring me water and towels every 10 minutes. As long as the membership computer recognized my card (it did) and the equipment was in working order (it was), then I was all set. I have since left for other personal reasons, but I was extremely satisfied with ASC from the day I joined to the day I cancelled.

This gym is always so clean and seems brand new! The price is extremely reasonable, especially because it includes classes and tanning. I work out with Jerry, a personal trainer there, and he consistently comes up with new workouts for me that challenge me every day. I have seen A LOT of progress in my fitness since starting here.

This place is the best. Friendly staff who are there to assist you and trainers that go above and beyond for their clients. Very clean and well kept, updated equipment, an excellent gym for only $25 a month. Jenn is my personal Trainer/coach and she deserves a 5 star rating as well. Highly reccomend to anybody thinking of getting a trainer from Novices to avid gym rats

I’ve been working out at ASC for about a year now and have had nothing but positive experiences. The price of membership can’t be beat and the staff has always been friendly and helpful. I also train with Jenn who is extremely knowledgeable, very outgoing and highly committed/dedicated to her clients. She really cares about the people she works with and does everything she can to make sure they reach their fitness goals.The biggest downside is that there are not a lot of free weights and the space is crowded in the afternoon but that is to be expected with any gym. Besides, you can definitely get creative with what’s available and still get a great workout. Overall, I definitely recommend Assembly Sports Club!
