Rx Strength Training

Unique, exciting programs, and welcoming to all! I was so impressed by my personal training sessions (in kettlebell proficiency) with Jeff. *Absolutely for anyone* looking to grow and evolve their strength training- no matter your level.I’ve been to manyyyyy many gyms all over the Boston-North Shore, and I can’t recommend enough checking it out and finding your focus!

Friendly staff and not too crowded. Probably the best selection of equipment I've seen in a private or commercial gym when it comes to free weights. Legitimately anything I could think of they had it.

Really great gym for barbell

So great to have connected with the nice folks at Rx Strength Training when I was visiting this week in the Boston area. All the right equipment and plenty of it. Lots of weightlifting platforms, full sets of plates in either kg or lbs. Very welcoming atmosphere and it was easy to see that the regulars had excellent gym etiquette - even the "fur members", who seemed very comfortable in this gym. Thanks for hosting me when I needed to drop in. Highly recommend!

Killer setup here at this powerhouse of a gym. Super nice owner and chill crowd. More importantly, very well equipped with everything needed to clang & bang.

Lifting gyms can Be intimidating places, especially for a woman. I started coming to Rx strength training to attend acro yoga classes at equilibrium, but decided to take personal training classes because the staff is so friendly. When you first walk in the space you are greeted by a pride/trans flag and a Black Lives Matter flag. Even though I don’t have one of those marginalized identities, it made me feel like it was an inclusive and empathetic space and set a tone of belonging.The gym is non pretentious, It’s not an equinox and doesn’t pretend to be, it’s in a big warehouse what you get instead are staffed gym hours with actual trainers who can answer questions in case you need help with your form. Most of the time I’m there I see the owner giving private lessons or teaching a class.There are several pieces of equipment that other gyms don’t have that have made weightlifting Accessible to me, I greatly appreciate The ssb bar, when I couldnt lean now to lift a low bar, it made squats possible for me. I also love working with my trainer (John). He has been so patient with me and didn’t let me give up when I was struggling to learn to form for deadlifts. He understood how my body structure made it difficult and suggested a wider stance, which was a game changer for me. Only downside is it’s lack of air conditioner, but summer is short.Glad I did the personal training pack and happy to recommend the studio (and equilibrium acrobatics) to others.------ Updating review on 1/24/23 for additional Praise,I am currently 5 months pregnant and have been working out in this weightlifting gym during my entire pregnancy. The staff are amazing, Coach Jeff and Nadia have helped me by adapting some of the workouts for the RX fit class so that they are appropriate as my body changes and center of gravity change.I have a history of chronic back pain due to an injury 11 years ago, my Chiropractor said that my posture and my back is actually in better shape 5 months pregnant than it was before pregnancy. I know that this is due to the squats and workouts I have been doing at RX, which has been the only change in my routine since finding out I am pregnant.Furthermore, the people in the RX Fit class are so encouraging. I was nervous they would think that I am lame because I lift lighter due to being pregnant, but everyone is so supportive and cheers each other on there. So grateful I found this gym.

Friendly, welcoming staff, a diverse selection of weights, kettlebells, and other implements to get you strong. Commuting from South Boston to Rx, the location in East Somerville makes it easy come and go. Will continue to enjoy my trips to Rx. Thank you!

Thanks Bhaskar! 🥰
