    very nice gym some machines are a bit dated but they work and the environment is friendly. They also have a steam room which is a nice plus. location is very nice right out side the B line stop.

    Most unprofessional management I've ever come across. Manager will not take any accountability for anything that goes wrong in that place and there is plenty wrong. Starting with the HIM. I expected more for the price. They do offer an array of different activity classes such as , spin, yoga and some boxing but I cant seem to find any for after work. They have interesting machines but they feel old. Some of which I've never seen before. I like the diversity in equipment. However, I feel the machines need better regular maintenance. Many need to be oiled and adjusted for ease of use. Some of the grips on these machines are torn out or severely worn and need replacement. If this were the YMCA I wouldn’t think anything of it but for the cost my expectations are higher. May go check local Planet Fitness. If they are offering a similar experience for $10 then will switch. 1 star. AVOID THIS GYM!

    Not worth the price. It’s too bear bones and there always machines and equipment lacking from too many people. Decent gym if you’re looking for something close though

    Being new to the area at the time, this gym was a place of comfort and community from day 1. Friendly staff, great workout gear, safe environment, and fair pricing. Strongly recommend joining if you are a resident of the Brighton area!

    Love this gym! The location is great and convenient. SUPER clean. I constantly see the staff wiping down machines. Everything is organized and the weights are always put away. I have recommended this gym to many of my friends and we all love it! The staff and atmosphere really makes me want to get up and go to the gym.

    Best gym on Comm Ave! I have been a member at FitRec and BSC; Beacon Hill Athletics is the best if you're looking for regular gym amenities. Classes are free and make the slightly higher price worth it. Staff is friendly and helpful. Easiest gym to sign-up and cancel at. Would recommend!

    Have only been here during the pandemic, but love this location of BHAC so far. Lots of weights, benches, racks, plus cardio and machines. Very well maintained and clean. Kind, helpful staff!

    This gym is great! It's very convenient to get to since it's right on the green line Sutherland Road stop. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. They offer cool fitness classes like spinning, yoga, and HIIT groups. The locker rooms and work out areas are very clean and well maintained. If you are in Brighton looking for a gym - look no further!

    I have been going to bhac for few years now and it is great not just for workouts but also offers classes for kick boxing, yoga, Zumba, etc which is also included in the membership. The trainers and frontdesk are also really good, down to earth and help guide you with any questions/concerns you might have.

  • 5/5 Jillian D. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been going to BHAC for almost a year now and it has been a really positive experience overall. The gym is very clean and the staff are really friendly. They have all of the equipment and machines that I enjoy using. The only reason I am leaving is because I am moving. I'll miss this gym!

  • 4/5 Athena H. 1 year ago on Google
    People are nice, the gym environment isn't hella "BRO-Y" and the staff are very nice and friendly. The equipment is a bit on the older side and a decent percentage of the machines have some wear-tear. There are plenty of roomy lockers, bring your own lock. There are a couple showers and a steam room. They aren't anything flashy but they are there. The classes are good and loved, zumba, yoga, spin, strength training etc. It is pricy for what you are getting but unlike the larger gyms there are very clear costs and no hidden fees or sneaky charges. I will never go back to the larger gyms for that reason. A friend of my was moving and it took him 2 seconds to end his membership and no fees after that. That clarity is worth every penny.

    I am new to joining Beacon Hill Athletic Club, but am really enjoying it. I am getting a lot out of their equipment, and it’s working on muscles I did not even think much about before. I really like how convenient their location on Commonwealth Ave is!

  • 5/5 Jack C. 11 months ago on Google
    Awesome place. Everything you need, good hours. Excellent staff - really great people who know the ins & outs of physical training & can also provide plenty of direction when it comes to diet & living a healthy lifestyle. I always enjoy my trips to the Beacon Hill Athletic Club (BHAC) & its chill atmosphere. Great job guys!! Also, I'd like to give a quick shout out to James, Maura, & Alejandro!! They all rock & are always kind and willing to chat. They always make you feel welcome & special. In my humble opinion, and if I were in charge, I'd do everything in my power to keep these three people happy(I think a pay raise for each of them is an appropriate & very well-deserved first step) as it's not easy to find such great employees. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing everyone at BHAC very soon!! This is a good place with good people. And when it comes to equipment & classes, BHAC is really great. You can box, lift weights, take a Spin class, a strength training class(the classes are included with your membership), or run on the treadmill. And when you're ready to call it a day, BHAC offers complimentary showers & a steam room, which is a nice ending after some good exercise. I've lost about 25-30lbs in the past few months. And the nice thing is they make it easy to exercise. Thank You for your attention, and if you think you're up to it, do yourself a favor & start working out. I promise you will not regret signing up!!

  • 5/5 Elnaz S. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been going to BHAC at Commonwealth Ave. for 6 years now and I this is one of the best gyms you can go to. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the gym is always clean. The space is huge and they have almost everything you need. It never gets too crowded that you can’t workout and my personal favorite is the atmosphere. People are just there to workout and you never see anything weird. Definitely recommend this club.

  • 4/5 James S. 6 months ago on Google
    I love the privacy that this gym allows you. I feel welcome and I never feel judgement for not being a “gym rat”. The staff is super friendly and the only reason its not a 5 star review is that some of the machines are always a bit finicky. I also feel like the “stretching” area is a bit small. Thankfully there’s always enough room where that’s never an issue but during rush hours I would imagine more space for that would be nice. Overall very satisfied!

  • 5/5 Akarsh R. 6 months ago on Google
    This gym is superb! Exceptional equipment, friendly staff, and a spotless environment make it a fantastic fitness destination. Varied workout options, knowledgeable trainers, and convenient hours ensure a great experience. It's the perfect place to achieve your fitness goals in a welcoming and motivating setting.

  • 4/5 Manley C. 6 months ago on Google
    This place has good space and a variety of weight machines. I really enjoyed the Zumba, boxing, yoga, and kickboxing classes.

  • 1/5 Fernanda F. 5 months ago on Google
    That is a short, black hair guy in the front desk that is horrible giving any sort of service/information to the client. He was in the phone, got mad about showing about classes, barely wanted to show the prices. I wanted to close and beginning working out, but no way I would that with that rude person.

  • 4/5 Caitlin R. 1 year ago on Google
    This gym isn't ritzy but it's got everything you need. Tons of treadmills, bikes, ellipticals. Almost every machine you could want. Plenty of free weights for everyone. A room where you can work out with a little more privacy, and a yoga/fitness class studio that hosts lots of different kinds of classes. The women's locker room has plenty of lockers and a steam room. The personal trainers are great. I go during off hours so I never have trouble getting what I need to done. I'm new to working out in the gym and was initially hesitant about it all but I feel comfortable here. The only thing that is a problem is the parking on Comm Ave and surrounding neighborhoods but hey, it isn't the gym's fault we live in Boston. Highly recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Rami S. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve really liked my experience there so far. I generally go before 3pm and its not very crowded. Has a good selection of equipment. I recommend this place.

  • 4/5 Emily C. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been going to this gym for about a month now and I've had a great experience so far! Friendly staff, clean equipment and locker rooms, and a great variety of machines and workout equipment. The group fitness classes are great and I would highly recommend them! The only reason I'm taking off a star is because the group fitness class schedule is quite limited compared to other gyms I have gone to in the past.

  • 5/5 Kisa I. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my go to gym! It's perfect for what I am looking for - great location, all the equipment I need and friendly staff. I particularly enjoy the multiple classes they have including yoga, spinning and kickboxing. This gym is not intimidating at all and I really love the hours- they are open early and close late. It's a great place to get a great workout in any time of day! 10/10 would recommend this gym to anyone!

  • 5/5 Christopher H. 2 years ago on Google
    This gym has most of the equipment, facilities, and space to cover most of your fitness activities/needs. Good atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Nicole M. 2 years ago on Google
    I bring my wife to this fitness center, she is very pleased with the coaches and, in general, with the training schemes.

  • 5/5 Keryden K. 2 years ago on Google
    Just recently moved to Boston from Florida. I had been going to a bigger corporate gym in Florida. Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs is right across the street from me, and I will never go back! It is small, but has everything you need for a straight up lift session. It's intimate, but also encompasses a variety of workout equipment. I feel like I find new stuff everytime I go, and I just found out they have a steam room. I am so happy with the club.

  • 5/5 Mohammed U. 3 years ago on Google
    Great location, good hours, big space, well maintained, and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Cortney B. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this gym, lots of jogging tracks, nice staff.

  • 4/5 Elias D. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice gym in terms of equipment, location, price, and the boxing studio is a big perk for me. It feels a little dated in terms of A/C and sound system/some equipment, but the quantity makes up for it. They also have a sauna which is cool. Overall would recommend!

  • 5/5 Lynn K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great gym with plenty of equipment! There is large selection of cardio equipment as well as machines. In the morning, it is not too crowded and you never have to wait for anything. Friendly staff as well!

  • 5/5 Lia C. 2 years ago on Google
    Have had a great experience with Beacon Hill Athletic Club so far! They have a very clean facility and a lot of exercise machines. I've never had to wait to use the equipment I wanted. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Andrew O. 2 years ago on Google
    Clean, awesome gym with a friendly staff. Can’t ask for much more. Steam room is a huge plus
