The gym was a clean place but the manager was very rude and had no sense of compassion for my session with the trainer, I believe that the trainer should have more one on ones or should be in the gym longer I LOVE Watertown's trainer

Great gym, though brand new, so... I do wish there were more stretching areas. And the hours... Close too early on weekends (as of 2/17).

Great place.. good employees... clean weights. Only thing is I would like some Olympic bar free weights but other than that 10/10

First day to be here, it's such a beautiful clean place to work out in Watertown that I never expected to be there. Most importantly that it has curtains at the shower room!!

Very large gym, plenty of machines to get a solid workout in with no wait. TRX station in the back, large locker rooms and areas to stretch. By far the best PF I've been a part of.

Clean, typical gym. As everyone says, stretching area is too small, and not mirrored, which is a bummer, but not too big a deal. The thing that makes Boston Sports Club more enticing is that this location does not have rowing machines for cardio.

This is a brand new gym that just opened last October. No barbells or other serious weightlifting exquipment here, but tons of cardio machines and dumbells. The downstairs stretching area and trx stuff are really good. Parking is never an issue.

I joined Watertown PF when it opened in October. I really like this gym; clean, friendly staff and great equipment. I'm giving it 4 stars and not 5 because the stretching area is so small. Some people don't have personal space etiquette or the manners not to wedge themselves in between two people there wasn't enough space for to begin with.

A great planet fitness. Full 30 minute work out and black card lounge. The staff are constantly going around cleaning. One of the cleanest gyms I've been to. Only complaint is no soap dispensers in the showers.
