Went to tour the club and the guy at the desk was rude so I left. Very sad I live a block away and the gym looks nice online. I was sold before I walked in 🤡 …

Best gym on Comm Ave! I have been a member at FitRec and BSC; Beacon Hill Athletics is the best if you're looking for regular gym amenities. Classes are free and make the slightly higher price worth it. Staff is friendly and helpful. Easiest gym to sign-up and cancel at. Would recommend!

Great most of the time. Summer months? Not so much. The ac breaks down a lot or it's just not running. The place becomes extremely humid. …

Mean and arrogant staff. Website says you can use a guest pass there however the staff did not even let me explain to them the situation and said they didn’t care. Go to literally any other gym for a good experience

Not worth the price. It’s too bear bones and there always machines and equipment lacking from too many people. Decent gym if you’re looking for something close though

I am not comfortable with the timings. Who closes the gym around 7 pm on weekends? I am not a big fan of their pricing as well no special discounts for the students

Awesome place. Everything you need, good hours.Excellent staff - really great people who know the ins & outs of physical training & can also provide plenty of direction when it comes to diet & living a healthy lifestyle. I always enjoy my trips to the Beacon Hill Athletic Club (BHAC) & its chill atmosphere. Great job guys!!Also, I'd like to give a quick shout out to James, Maura, & Alejandro!! They all rock & are always kind and willing to chat. They always make you feel welcome & special. In my humble opinion, and if I were in charge, I'd do everything in my power to keep these three people happy(I think a pay raise for each of them is an appropriate & very well-deserved first step) as it's not easy to find such great employees. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing everyone at BHAC very soon!!This is a good place with good people. And when it comes to equipment & classes, BHAC is really great. You can box, lift weights, take a Spin class, a strength training class(the classes are included with your membership), or run on the treadmill. And when you're ready to call it a day, BHAC offers complimentary showers & a steam room, which is a nice ending after some good exercise. I've lost about 25-30lbs in the past few months. And the nice thing is they make it easy to exercise.Thank You for your attention, and if you think you're up to it, do yourself a favor & start working out. I promise you will not regret signing up!!

I have been going to bhac for few years now and it is great not just for workouts but also offers classes for kick boxing, yoga, Zumba, etc which is also included in the membership. The trainers and frontdesk are also really good, down to earth and help guide you with any questions/concerns you might have.

This gym isn't ritzy but it's got everything you need. Tons of treadmills, bikes, ellipticals. Almost every machine you could want. Plenty of free weights for everyone. A room where you can work out with a little more privacy, and a yoga/fitness class studio that hosts lots of different kinds of classes. The women's locker room has plenty of lockers and a steam room. The personal trainers are great.I go during off hours so I never have trouble getting what I need to done. I'm new to working out in the gym and was initially hesitant about it all but I feel comfortable here. The only thing that is a problem is the parking on Comm Ave and surrounding neighborhoods but hey, it isn't the gym's fault we live in Boston. Highly recommend this place!

People are nice, the gym environment isn't hella "BRO-Y" and the staff are very nice and friendly. The equipment is a bit on the older side and a decent percentage of the machines have some wear-tear. …
