GymIt

Scam. They have charged my CC +$100 for NOTHING.I sent theme an email saying clearly that stop my subscription. Instead they said they can froze that.After couple months guess what I found out? They started charging my CC / activated my membership without letting me know, or sending me an email.THE WORST way of doing business during the pandemic.STAY AWAY

Really good basic gym/strength training gym. Go here if you want to work with dumbbells, squat racks, benches, and some accessory lift machines. Not a ton of space for stretching. No classes offered. Super good gym for what it is.

Best non-university gym in Boston. Reasonable prices, tons of squat racks, tons of cardio machines. Can get very busy but a decent vibe where people get work done.

Would have given it 4 stars if it were more expensive, but for about $1.12 a day, which includes all one-time fees, this is great value. Yes, it may be a bit crowded at peak times, even pre-pandemic, but equipment is all updated and in good shape, place nice and airy, lockers clean, people polite, staff helpful.

They have so many hidden fees. A month into my $14 per 2-weeks membership i found a surprising $50 “maintenance fee”. I cancelled my membership and they charged $40 “cancellation fee” lols. And you have to pay an additional 2 weeks fees, and with preceding fees that’s over $100 just to get off their membership. Such a scam.

I’ve been a member of gymit brookline on three separate occasions (moved a bunch). Every time I come back I get in the best shape of my life. It’s super clean, the staff is great. Zero complaints. Tons of machines. Free weights. Literally the best gym I’ve ever been to. Highly highly recommend

This gym is a great deal for the average person: GREAT price, good variety in equipment, locker rooms/showers, drinks/snacks available to buy, personal training available, and I think in non-Covid times they may do group exercise classes(? I only joined in September so I’m not too sure). For very serious heavy lifters this might not be the ideal place, but even then I think there would only be a few things missing in terms of weights/equipment and it‘a still an AWESOME deal for the price. I only give 4 stars because the staff members that I have interacted with aren’t very customer-oriented (at least during the hours that I visit). I typically come in very early in the day, and I get it—everyone in the gym is still waking up and feeling a little tired. But it’s very rare for me to get even a “hello” or “good morning” from the folks behind the desk. I also often stand there for quite some time trying to get the scanner to recognize my phone to check in, and usually the staff members continue to sit on their phones without helping me. When I have spoken to them they’ve been perfectly polite and helpful, and they always do the other aspects of their job (like filling wipe bins or reminding customers to keep masks on etc). I just wish they were a bit more outgoing I guess. I’ll continue to work out here and would still recommend this gym to others despite this slight shortcoming.

Went to go visit my partner in Boston and bought a couple of day passes while I was here. It's well worth the 10 dollars a day if you are only going to be in town for a little while. Make sure to go in the mornings because it does get pretty packed around 7-9am.I did find that a lot of people here do not re-rack their weights nor use the right machine for the exercise they are trying to do. Saw people doing bench press on the squat racks when the bench press station was open. I am all for doing "you" at the gym but when space is limited I don't think that's cool.Looking forward to going back to GymIt in the future.

The staff are incredibly courteous, friendly, and helpful. The gym is ALWAYS clean and in good order. The price for anywhere, but especially Boston, is fantastic. The weight room is sufficiently supplied with equipment for the most serious lifter to get a good workout.* Parking is reasonable in price (a paid parking deck, with non-business hours being around a dollar). I would absolutely recommend and have done so with several people.* I did request that the staff pass along my request to the owner for his consideration in obtaining some 105-150 lb dumbbell pairs, even if secondhand, to provide dumbbells beyond the 100 lb limit currently offered. However, this was maybe two weeks prior to COVID-19 closing Boston and likely was forgotten. I will re-approach the subject and update the matter on here to let all of you know.

Good COVID policies, nice that they have quality air filters in the building. All of the staff are great too, the front desk workers remember your name and are always very welcoming.I definitely recommend using their personal trainer program too, especially if you’re just beginning. I felt pretty intimidated for years about fitting working out into my lifestyle because I had no idea where to start, but their trainers are great at breaking things down and explaining the process. Adam, one of their trainers on staff, has been excellent about working w/ my limitations and is very responsive to feedback. It’s definitely worth the extra $$ to get a professional to help you figure out a good routine for your specific needs.It’s a good place, I recommend it to friends.
