GymIt

Gym IT. Is one of the best gym for it’s price for members, the staff is friendly and helpful and the gym is always cleaned and up beat!!! I’ve been here over more than a year and I look forward to a wonderful new year and enjoy getting nearer to my own goal in my fitness!!! IF you’re looking for a gym to join, this is the one to check out!!!

They got free weights, very nice staff, and a great location, need you ask more?

I have been going here for a week. I have to say this is really is as good as it gets for me. I’m not a gym expert, as I’ve been going to gyms on and off for a long time, but not very reliably. The trainer I spoke with was very good and understanding of my concerns and goals, and he recommended a program which is much better than what I had put together for myself. The locker room is clean and neat, and the facilities are capacious. I like it a lot. It’s also very cheap.

This place is perfect for the price! They have all the machines and weights you need with plenty of space. They do need a calf raise machine and a squat bench.

This place makes it nearly impossible to cancel your membership, FYI.

If you are looking to save money and live in the Allston area, this is an easy choice. The facilities make the price sadly. The staff is not super friendly but not completely unapproachable. It’s usually busier after work hours but usually there is at least a few cardio machines and weights available. The TV stations are usually on shows that are not awful to stare at if you need that kind of distraction.
The locker rooms are really clean and the showers are pretty good, except there are no spaces to put your dry stuff outside.
There are no classes except a training workshop the gym holds. There are random events happening, like free pizza or a rose giveaway for Valentine’s Day.
Good gym for budget crunches.

This is a great gym for the monthly membership you pay (20 $ per month). It doesn’t have all the additional features like commonwealth sports club or equinox have, but again it’s a quarter of their monthly price. If you are looking for a gym with a variety of cardio machines, and a decent selection of weights you seriously can’t get a better deal than this. I have never felt intimidated by the crowd/​people using the weights, the gym is open decently late, the locker rooms has always been clean, and the staff is nice enough. I’ve gone here many different times during the day and I’ve never had to wait for a machine. Again, don’t expect a gym with fancy amenities, but for what you are paying for it’s a steal.

Great gym for any kind of workout. I’ve moved out of Boston but still come here when I am visiting. The staff are great, equipment is always clean, and repairs are made quickly. The crowd is good too, mostly young professionals from the bu and Brookline area. For 20 bucks a month, this place is an absolute steal. I’d pay 50 a month if I had to

If you are looking for a clean environment with friendly and professional staff and no contract to join. GymIt is the right place!
I LOVE GymIt. They have variety of cardiovascular and strengthening machines with plenty of space for workout. The locker rooms are very clean and big.
Above all, management is very customer focused and has very strong communication skill. I had couple of requests from management and they responded promptly and took care of the issues right away and followed up with me to make sure my needs were met… thank yo GymIt for your great customer service!

I’ve been going to Gymit since late January and can’t speak highly enough about it. I bring guests here sometimes and they can’t believe I only pay $ 20/​month with all the equipment, huge/​clean facilities and super friendly staff. The gym of course gets busy from 5 – 7 like every other gym but I’ve never had to wait to get on a treadmill past a few minutes or had trouble getting a big space to do my own floor workouts. The personal trainers there are fantastic — they teach both the small group classes and do their own private clients but all are knowledgeable, fun and really push you. I can speak to both classes and 1 – 1 personal training — both are awesome and have kept me motivated.
The one thing I don’t like is the parking situation — great deal for the parking garage in the back at $ 1/​hour but I come here pretty much every day and end up spending an hour and a half to 2 hours at the gym — so it adds up. There’s 2 hour parking around the area to and I grab that when I can/​have time, or I run from my house. But otherwise, this place is the best fitness deal & experience I’ve found in Brookline so far!

I previously wrote a negative review about the cancellation policy, but Matt was extremely quick to respond, nice, and very helpful in solving my problem. Therefore, I am changing my review to a positive one!
I signed up for GymIt during the summer for my summer internship. The facilities are nice and extremely clean. It’s a great value considering how cheap the membership fee is! There is an open space, machines, treadmills, and free weights. However, there were only smith machines and they don’t have barbells or power racks or squat racks for any weightlifters or powerlifters. But they pretty much have all that you need. The staff is also really nice and friendly, and great about showing you around or answering any questions. I really enjoyed it and would definitely start a membership again if I come back to Boston next summer!

for me to be satisfied I need sauna, pool, hair dryer, free towels — not to bring all necessary thing in a huge suitcase.
unfortunately there I didn’t get it. so in future I’ll think before going here.

It’s a good deal for where Gymit is located. It’s next door to my job so I go twice a day, before work and on my lunch break. Very convenient and friendly staff. It’s never crowded during the hours I go. They have nice big screen TVs where the exercise machines are located. There’s always nice music playing on the speakers. This gym is always clean when I go. I don’t know how clean it is during peak hours. I shower there after my morning workout. The stand up showers are always clean around that time. There are two private rooms in the ladies’ locker room where you can use in private. There’s a large mirror and a chair in each one of the private rooms.

For $ 27/​month, my wife and I both have full access to the gym which is a pretty good deal if you think about it! I try to avoid coming here during rush hour which is usually around 5−7pm. During these hours, this place gets crazy packed and it is difficult to find the equipment for you to hop on. I prefer any time after 8pm+ because it is definitely a lot more less crowded.
People who go to this gym tend to clean up after themselves so that is always a plus knowing that I won’t have to worry about nasty germs and stuff.
If you want to lift, you generally won’t have any problem finding the right weights and all that but just like any other gym, you always find those super buff guys always hogging the seats but what can you do???
Overall, I really like this gym a lot!

This review is strictly about their billing practices which are completely misleading.
The $ 20/​mo plan is not $ 20/​mo. It’s $ 40 the first month then $ 60 every three months. Let’s say you signed up January 1 – the first month you’d pay $ 40. Then $ 20, $ 60, $ 20, $ 20, $ 60, $ 20, $ 20, $ 60. $ 20, $ 20, $ 60.
That’s $ 420/​year. Anyone possessing basic multiplication skills knows that $ 20×12 months = $ 240. But they will charge you $ 180 more.
Instead of advertising a blatantly false monthly price of $ 20 to seem like the lowest priced gym in the area they should be honest and state the adjusted price of $ 35/​mo. Then they wouldn’t have to bill you in a staggered manner to confuse you.

I’m by no means an aerobics master, weight hurling gym nut– just an average person looking for some exercise, but Gym It blew me away with the above average experience. Not only do they provide you with always clean and working modern gym equipment but they have a wide range of machines from which to choose. Their knowledgable staff is there to help you figure out a good routine for your exercise goal.
Situated on the Green Line, they couldn’t have a better location for city dwellers. The gym is attached to a garage with severely discounted parking rates for Gym It members which is a plus for anyone stuck with a burden of the car in the city.
They run fantastic promos and offer deals for your friends that sign up that can benefit you– because who wants to sweat alone?
There isn’t a gym I’ve tried that compares to Gym It. If you’re thinking about committing to a work out– do yourself a favor and take that 20 bucks in your pocket and bring it down to Gym It.

Love the time that I spend there and the staff is great.
Am thinking of trying one of the group session workouts, like W.I.T. Has anyone had any experience with it? I am not new to exercise just love the idea of having someone tell me what to do. Thoughts? (There should be an ‘ask a question’ piece for Unilocal; unless there is and I am missing it?)

20 bucks a month for a pretty well equipped gym or 27 bucks for a membership where you can bring in a guest to said gym? Yes please.
Pros:
— Friendly staff
— New equipment
— Quick repairs
— Pick things up and put them down for the best price in town
— Member appreciation day… free alcohol and pizza, check
— TVs
— Music
Cons:
— No free weight barbell, so I can’t work my booty with the squats unless I hit up the smith machine
— Dumbbells max out at 90 lbs which is pretty much only enough for me to curl
All in all solid gym for a solid price in a great location. They have a parking garage in the back and you can validate in the gym so it’s only 1 dollar an hour.

Made a Unilocal account to say this:
Dear Male Trainer:
Cleaning ONE machine for one hour while looking below my waist while I am on the elliptical right next to you is real smooth buddy. And I doubt you were trying to «fix my form.»
GymIt, you should really redefine your hiring process for these fitness «professionals.»
WHY ARE YOUR TRAINERS CLEANING THE MACHINES? Hire some real cleaners. Do they also clean the bathrooms?! Yuck!
I came here on a day pass and I’m not coming back to sign up. The price is right and everything looks good when you first walk in, but upon closer inspection, the machines and women’s locker room are filthy. I doubt the beige green-​muddy brown carpets in the bathroom started out that color.
Now I know why the gym was $ 20, just pay more money and go down the street so you don’t get an infection.
Sorry for the harsh review, but that trainer really kickstarted my rant.

Their value membership is unbeatable for the area. For $ 27/​month, a member can bring a guest each visit. Doesn’t matter if it is the same guest. My fiancé and I signed up to get in shape for our wedding, and it’s been working out great.
Clean facilities, doesn’t get too packed. We usually go after work, between 6 – 7. There are always machines available and enough space for lifting and stretching. This vicinity attracts the young adult crowd. There are paper towels and disinfectant spray. Members actually disinfect after finishing up the machines! Staff is friendly. Bring your own water bottle to refill at their drinking fountain. Lockers are available but require you to bring your own lock.
I used to go to the healthworks in Coolidge corner and paid ~$ 90/​month. Only perks missing from gym it are the classes, sauna, and amenities in the locker room. For almost $ 70 less a month, I’ll take gym it any day.
