Decent overall gym. No parking. Very small with limited equipment options, but you can still get in a good workout. They offer fitness classes of varying degrees and difficulty levels. Unfortunately the one on Beacon Street closed due to its inability to recover from the pandemic, so this is the only option for members who live in the area. The people that work here are very nice, helpful and have great attitudes about helping others achieve their fitness goals. The treadmills are older and a few are broken and have been for many weeks which makes me think that they may not be open for much longer.

As mentioned in others' reviews, this gym is the only fitness center in the area. The facility is overall outdated. During peak hours around 5PM, there's almost always a wait time for many of the free weights. If this were a $30-$50 per month type of gym, the overall quality of this gym would be expected and acceptable. Hence I think this gym is overpriced for what you get. They need to get more free weights/benches/squat racks and update their equipment to justify their price. Or make better use of the large space they have by moving some of the cardio equipment, etc. But given this is the only gym in the area, the lack of competition basically allows a continued flux of members without other options.

Have some cool stuff like a punching bag, ropes, ski machine, various treadmills/bikes. Area for free weights is small and janky but have the essentials like a square rack and dumbbells. Didn't go to a class so I can't speak on that front. Bring your own water bottle, the cups are the triangular one-sip ones. Can use it to fill up your bottle though. Have towels in the front and locker rooms were spacious.

I am attending this gym since 2015 as this gym is located at the building where I work (Longwood). This year there's a new staff which is particularly rude. I exercise in the evening (because that is what my schedule is) and she starts yelling at around 9-50 that the gym is closing and at 9-55 she was pushing away everyone. I am changing in the office so I was going to leave strict at 10 pm. If the gym is closing at earlier time, please indicate this on your website; so people will know it when they will consider to sign up for this gym.

Got a membership when I started my new job at Dana Farber. The gym is outdated, overcrowded, unclean, and the quality of equipment is far behind what the same money can buy for another membership elsewhere in the city. The only plus this facility has is the location, as it provides convenience to employees and students that work/study in the Longwood area. Not worth the money and I would not recommend to anyone frankly.

Avoid this place! Charge you after the membership termination! I canceled my membership last year, but they continue charging my credit card for 12 months. Talked to the manager. The manager was very rude and refuse a refund. He said they could not find my cancellation form and my membership was never cancelled. But the next day, when I asked the front desk to check my membership status, the front desk told me my membership was terminated last year. The manager still refuse to issue a refund. If you want to join this club, make sure cancel your credit card when you terminate your membership.

Super crowded, expensive for what they offer, small weight room , locker rooms are adequate and well lit. This gym needs to expand if they want to keep charging what they do.

This gym is great for location and the only gig in the area. The staff are friendly and sympathetic to things, like having half the treadmills broken, and the lockers too. The showers are ok. Overall decent, but for this price point I would expect functioning equipment.

I had a ClassPass yoga here and enjoyed it (even though it, annoyingly, started late). However afterwards I went to the front desk to get an idea if I did want a membership there and the man at the front desk was so unhelpful. He just gave me the rate and I tried asking what else comes with the gym and he said “basically just the classes”. Didn’t tell me what the classes are, didn’t offer me a tour or anything. I would’ve considered a membership but it doesn’t seem like a place I want to spend my money

Waaaay too crowded during peak times. Wish it were larger to support the number of members. Machines/equipment seems dirtier than other gyms I’ve been to.

Update: deducting one star. still the same complaint about the showers. The shampoo/bodywash containers have open tops. The bodywash and shampoo look milky when you know they're supposed to be clear. They smell like they've gone bad. Either they have bacteria in them or they have shower water mixed in with them due to the unsecured containers. The towels smelled like detergent and a*s. They do the laundry in house in their own washing machines. You would think they could use a commercial laundry service that would clean these towels properly with hot water and bleach but nope. Really a shame since it's the only gym in the medical area. _______________________________________ Great location if you're in the longwood area often. The gym has a decent selection of equipment and has ample space. I deduct 2 stars because of the dirty locker rooms. There's always paper towels on the floor by the sinks, toilets are often dirty, and soap and shampoo dispensers in the shower are often broken, or worse, the tops of the dispensers are open and who knows what's gotten inside those containers and mixed into the soap/shampoo. Also, there's no obvious bin for putting used towels inside the locker room. To me it appears like maintenance/cleaning is done just once every couple of days or less.

I gave it 2 stars for location. Not many classes. Basically no advanced yoga offered. Management does not really care about the members or the staff. And the pay is very low. Having previously worked for fitcorp I was grandfathered in when BodyScapes bought the club. The quality went down very quickly. I had many students who loved my classes. But the pay was too low for my experience.

I went to this gym for over a year, it is decent. A bit pricey for what they offer, but they do offer discounts for some employers in the area (ie. hospitals) and towel service (!). It is really about the convenient location. If you go in non-peak areas (any time except 5-7 pm), you can get a hassle-free workout. Group classes were very good - not too crowded. Locker room was also good, except that sometimes many of the lockers were stuck open with an unknown number combination so you could not use them. One obvious downside is that you could tell the young front desk staff never received any training or had any experience in costumer service at all.

I went to this gym for 6 months since it was next to my work. Overall decent gym and good staff except one trainer who warned me for “speaking on my phone too loud”. I am definitely not a loud talker however i might have done it unconsciously, idk. when i asked him if there is such a rule in the gym, he didn’t even look at me and said “i don’t know, need to ask my boss”. He was rude especially considering he talks very loudly in the gym with his “bros”. but this was only one guy.

This gym is great if you work in Harvard Medical or Brigham and Womens Hospital jobs in the immediate area where you get a significant discount. If I didn't I'd certainly not dish out $100 a month regardless of the equipment and facility quality and cleanliness. Standard gym equipment, 4 or 5 barbell bench stations, lots of kettlebells and freeweights. Numerous up-to-date treadmills and other cardio machines mostly facing walls and windows (while not much of a view you still are unlikely to have anyone creepin on ya given all the equipments positioning). Locker rooms pretty immaculate, bright, full of mirrors, hair driers, gym supplied and cleaned towels... bit beyond what is typical. Wifi available and decent background music throughout if you forget or don't feel like bothering with managing your own that day. Enough to keep you awake and in stride though not likely to get you as pumped as something you'd bring from home. I cannot vouch for the quality of any classes or trainers as I have not utilized these features myself.

The most crowded, overpriced, gym I ever been to. And the equipments are so broken and old.

Visited with a day pass while staying in the area. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good variety of equipment.

Very clean, good upkeep, a bit pricy but will be worth the cost when amenities are open

Bodyscapes Longwood is a fantastic facility, and very much needed in the Longwood area. It has a nice range of equipment, as well as a studio area that you can use if a class isn't in session. Everything is clean, and the locker rooms are very well kept, with lots of good amenities. I have also used the Cambridge location which is good too.

I had a similar experience to Scarlett: This gym will ignore your attempts to cancel your membership and will continue charging your account until they have bilked as much as they can from you. If you join, make sure to pay with a method which lets you contest post-cancellation fees.

Large spaces and plenty of equipment. Only gripe is that they are always low on wipes
