Dirty Water Fitness

I spent a summer training with Dirty Water Fitness while I was in Boston. It's awesome! Josh and his crew are very welcoming and knowledgable, and the small group classes (typically with ~ 4 people) are a nice size -- you get good company, but don't get lost in a crowd. The workouts are well structured and thought out. Facility is brand new with top of the line Elko plates etc, and a cool 'Perch' system that tracks data about your lifts. Highly recommended!

I am a huge fan of Dirty Water Fitness. I usually work with Joe or Sara, but have had classes/sessions with Josh and Tanner. And 100% without a doubt I'd be happy to be trained by any of them. The other clients I've met are also all friendly. Plus occasionally Coach Achilles will be there, and he always brightens my day!I highly recommend the group classes if you aren't looking for a specific workout regime, but if you are then the personal sessions are phenomenal.

I’ve loved working out at Dirty Water Fitness over the last year. I trained here before, during, and after my pregnancy and felt safe the entire time thanks to their amazing trainers. They’re serious about fitness with a fun, laid back environment. Great gym!

I have been a member of Dirty Water Fitness for over a year now and I am beyond impressed with my experience! The facilities are top-notch, the equipment is always well-maintained, and the personal trainers are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I have been working with Sara and she is wonderful in knowing my limits and when to push. I always leave feeling energized and accomplished. I highly recommend Dirty Water Fitness to anyone looking for a top-notch gym experience.

I love training at Dirty Water Fitness. I’ve been working with Sara for almost a year now, focused mostly on power lifting and building my strength. She’s been great at helping me work towards my goals, and also adapt our workouts when some of my health issues flared up.The trainers and other clients keep it a welcoming and friendly place to be. As a trans woman I was really wary to go to any gym but at Dirty Water Fitness I’m perfectly comfortable being myself.

I met Joe and Sarah in the pre-Dirty Water Fitness days. I was drawn in by their caring spirit and the willingness to overcome obstacles during the pandemic to assure my goals continued to be met. I worked with Joe, with a goal of general health and strength. And then we began lifting weights, and wow was I hooked! I remember when deadlifting 125 seemed impossible, and with Joe I achieved a PR of 320# post the pandemic forced break. Dirty Water Fitness is a community of caring trainers and great clients in a comfortable, inclusive environment, with no intimidation or judgement (I am 56 yr old). And, when I moved from Cambridge, Joe made the effort to assure I found a new trainer in my new city, by personally making the contact and establishing the connection. That is caring beyond the usual in today's world. I wish Dirty Water Fitness the best of the best with their expansion. Definitely a gem for the Cambridge fitness scene.

I regularly attend for small group training and in the past have used the personal training services at DWF and in both settings I'm challenged by the trainers and motivated by them! The entire team is very smart and so good at what they do. I learn something new every time I'm there! I highly recommend this fitness center.

I’ve been working with Tanner once a week for a few months now. Even though I only go once a week, there has been a noticeable improvement in my strength and physical appearance (my husband and friends have also noticed). And the atmosphere at DWF is friendly and easygoing, which makes the training part more fun, too.

I trained with Joe Adelman briefly at another gym back in 2019 but then changed jobs and the gym wasn't nearby so had to stop going. At the start of the pandemic Joe reached back out to me and asked if I was interested in remote training. He's been developing my training program ever since (and it continues to be remote since I've moved out of the state). Short story is that it's been awesome and I'm so happy he reached out!At the start of training I was recovering from a lingering foot injury. Joe was great at coming up with exercises to work my legs without making my foot any worse. Eventually my foot got better and gyms opened back up so we moved from bodyweight exercises into weight training. The whole way through Joe's been great about giving feedback when I send him videos of my lifts and adjusting workouts based on my schedule. Since I started training with him I've put on easily 20lb of muscle and am the strongest I've ever been! I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get fit. If you put in the work, he'll make sure you're doing the right things so that you get results.

I have had the pleasure of working with each of the trainers at Dirty Water Fitness while on my journey to understand their training styles and personalities. Every trainer on this team shows strong dedication to and understanding of their clients and creates a clear individualized path to acheiving fitness goals. In addition to providing top quality personal training, they have such amazing personalities. As a client of Dirty Water Fitness you can fully count on feeling welcomed, comfortable, and wholly part of their team and ecosystem. If you are looking to have a great connection on a personal level with a team that cares and successfully guides you through the physical and mental tests of fitness training I highly recommend all of the trainers at Dirty Water Fitness.
