Benefitness Health Club

Signed up when I moved to Boston for graduate school. Good size facility that is never too crowded. Staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Although they offer classes that seem popular, I stick to just using the machines. There are many of them and the club offers a good range in regards to variety. Even though I am moving to a new apartment, I will continue my membership.

I love Benefitness! When I first moved to the Boston area, I did A LOT of research and read a lot of reviews regarding what gym I should join. I considered many gyms in the area and ultimately decided to have a tour of Benefitness. I liked the fact that they offered classes, equipment and the all-women facility. After touring the gym, I immediately signed up and I have not been disappointed.Now I have been a member of Benefitness for about seven months and I love it. They have tons of classes. I recommend jump & jab, the yoga classes, and zumba! The instructors are very friendly and helpful. I also signed up for three personal training sessions with Lucia who is amazing. She created a workout for me that I have been doing now for approximately 3 months or so.The facility is always clean and I've never had a problem getting a piece of equipment that I wanted to use, even on the most crowded of times. The locker rooms have showers with shampoo and body wash, a sauna room, bathrooms and changing rooms. Compared to other gyms in the area, I really don't find Benefitness to be too expensive, considering HealthWorks down the street is almost double and is always way too crowded.I've never had an issue with parking because I take the green-line over and walk over. It's about a 10-minute walk from the C-line Coolidge Corner stop and a 3-minute walk from the D-line Brookline Village stop. It's a very convenient location.Also, Benefitness is incredibly understanding when it comes to freezing your account for 1-3 months. I'm a law school student, so I froze my account over Christmas break because why would I pay for a gym that I won't be using at all? Benefitness froze my account and only charged me $9 fee. That saved me a ton of money. I know a friend of mine who had to pay only $10 less than what is regularly paying per month to freeze his gym membership.I really recommend Benefitness if you're looking for an all women's gym with classes and a friendly staff.

I love Benefitness! I joined about three months ago and have been so happy with my decision. There have a wide variety of classes. They recently hired a new yoga teacher named Jessica and she is fabulous (as are other teachers). There are also lots of great, high energy cardio classes. Classes are not the only way to go though; there are plenty of machines and there has always been enough room to work out using free weights or doing abs. The membership is reasonable and great for grad students because you can pause your membership for up to three months. Join Benefitness!
