Jeff and his team are rock star trainers. I was not a hardcore weights guy or strength-focused athlete before RxFit. But I wanted to give it a try. Jeff is the friendliest guy and made me feel comfortable when I decided to walk in one evening. I've been a member of the gym ever since. Super knowledgeable, focused on safe training, growth, and the commitment of their athletes, the RxFit team is unbeatable. Highly recommend.

Rx Strength Training is not your typical gym where you go and mindlessly get on a cardio machine for 30 minutes. It is a place where the owner and coaches genuinely want you to reach your fitness goals while having fun at the same time. They have classes in all different styles using non-traditional equipment (think sledge hammers, sandbags, and tires) as well as barbells and kettlebells.

Top notch training in Olympic and Powerlifts from a well versed and diverse coaching team. Additionally, odd-implements like mace and KB training (that goes beyond simple swings) makes Rx stand out against other gyms in the Greater Boston area. The owner is amazing and does a lot of work to raise money and awareness for cancer and other causes.Whether you're training for general health, endurance events, competition or whatever...you don't need to look any further than Rx. You won't be disappointed.

Rx is absolutely fantastic. The coaches are super welcoming, the classes have a ton of variety, and the gym culture is great. Classes cover everything from strongman to kettle bell sport to weightlifting. Can't recommend the gym enough.

RX Strength Training is amazing! When I started diverse training options and a family atmosphere were some of the key selling points, those same points have kept me coming back for more than 4 years. Back then, I couldn't go up a flight of stairs without getting winded and had to do most exercises without weights. Now I compete and win StrongMan competitions. I owe my success to the knowledge the amazing trainers provide and the support from the other athletes. I strongly encourage anyone to try RX Strength Training out, you will find classes that meet your needs and interest!

Rx is an amazing gym run by really knowledgeable and friendly trainers. Classes are small enough to get good instruction and advice from coaches and the community is welcoming and friendly.The gym is well worth their monthly membership and is almost half the cost of similar plans at local CrossFit gyms.I love getting to focus both on strength of standard lifts (bench, squat, deadlift), Olympic lifts, and more obscure stuff (kettlebell sport, sandbag training). Lifts are specifically programmed over multiple months to work towards increasing PRs. Metabolic conditioning classes are well done too and killer.Plus Jeff is just awesome.

I went in to RX Fitness with a robust background of mixed martial arts and years of CrossFit and Gym Rat tendencies. I emailed Jeff one afternoon and called me within the day. Talk about great service.The facilities is located in a huge warehouse like place tucked in Somerville. It provides great gym equipment, tons of toys to play with and great coaches to show you how to use them.The coaches are great. They are well knowledged in the arts of fitness. They constantly change things up in their workouts and always work with you in your level of fitness.A second home for me.

The boot camps at RXstrenghtraining are always challenging and are a great way to work on your strengths and weaknesses. Each class has strength and conditioning components and every workout is different so your body never gets accustomed to the same routine. If you come and do the work, you will be in better shape. I have seen so many fitness crazes come and go, this is not a fad. The coaches here are committed to helping you get stronger and healthier no matter what fitness level you are starting from. I have seen some amazing transformations in these classes!

I love my experiences at RX Strength every time I get to train there. A gym founded on real fitness principles that is both an inviting and invigorating atmosphere. Very knowledgeable and approachable coaches, who take personal interest in your fitness goals. Also, a great place to hang out and make a friend or two!

I met the owner Jeff almost 3 years ago at a GORUCK 12 hour challenge. It was an intense event, but it was a small group of us and he stood out as someone who was a real champion for the whole group to succeed. We stayed in touch via FB and when I moved to the Boston area last summer I was looking for a new gym. I came in tried a couple classes out at Jeff's gym and was hooked right away. The coaches are all super supportive and all have different styles, so even if you go to the same class taught by two different people you are getting a totally different experience. I love the kettlebell sport class! I had never done KB like that before, and I was a little nervous at first, but gave it a try and actually surprised myself with how well I did at it. It is great to be surrounded by a great group of people and having fun while kicking your own butt in the gym. Great gym, great coaches, great atmosphere. Definitely recommended it!
