    I went to the Curley center for the first time today. You have to be a Boston resident to go there. It's one of the nicest gyms I've been to. The people and staff there seem nice and respectful, however the lighter side of the dumbbell rack was disorganized. Besides that, it's fairly quiet and clean. There are 3 sections for weights, a teen section with machines and dumbbells, a smaller adult section with weights, a half rack, and weight stack machine. Then there is the biggest section of the gym in the far left of the building. Every machine for each muscle group, a dumbbell rack up to 100 pounds, and a couple half racks and smith machines are in the main section of the gym. There are two more cardio rooms, a spin class room, and a bigger room with rows of cardio equipment. I would rate this place close to a 5 star because of how nice it is, but there could be some improvements. As far as I saw, there are only 2 places places for barbell bench and only 1 with safety bars. One or two weight benches could be at the half racks on the far left side of the main room. The water foundation and bathrooms are far from the gym section of the building. It seems only part of the building was open at the time and the door to access the left side of the building was emergency only.

    It's got some good points and quite a few bad....one of the places that SHOULD be a benefactor of all of the money pouring into Southie, but the money is going somewhere ELSE....the costs of membership are cheaper than most gyms but have gone way up as if to keep pace with everything else, yet they haven't done anything to improve the weight rooms in at least 20 YEARS, I mean it's still only got 1 bench for regular bench pressing, only 1 of a lot of things, no a.c. in the weight rooms either and the weights are rusty! The boxing club basically rotted away until they finally just closed it, imagine that, NO public place for boxing in Southie but guys can still walk around naked on the beach...and I can't swear on it until I look into it but I heard they built a brand new boxing gym for the kids over in Roxbury, which I'm all for as long as our kids get the same thing...but I'm still a member cause the price is still cheap and I only use free weights anyways so.....

    You really can't go wrong for the location and price. Some of the weight rooms are a bit dated and the machines aren't always the best...but it's never crowded and extremely affordable. Highly recommend the classes as well, awesome instructors.

    No frills gym with decent equipment. Membership is $100 per year for city residents, classes cost extra. Locker room with showers. Members get access to a small private beach.

    the place might be antique but it shapes me up into a modern, strong and healthy person, nothing is missing! If lacking energy, just get there, the instructors are excellent and they have plenty of energy and motivation to give you!!!

    Now that the renovation is complete, the community center is active and currently being used by the community of South Boston, Dorchester, and other surrounding areas. I've only used the facility for physical fitness, but I'm sure the center will be utilized in various ways. This is a major plus for the city of Boston and Suffolk counties. Hope the state continues other renovation projects to revitalize underused facilities throughout the state.
