MYSTRYDE South Boston
Fitness center
👍👍 I had never really been much of a group/class workout person, but moving to South Boston & the lack of reasonable open space gyms pushed me to find a class based workout. MYSTRYDE is my go to now! I've never been much of a runner, but the 50/50 splits between treadmill and weights are perfect. I hav...

CrossFit 617 - Dorchester
Gym
👍👍 Did a couple of Drop-ins at this gym. I’m usually pretty shy in trying new places. Especially even more when working out in front of new people. I ended up doing 2 of the crossfit open workouts here and EVERYONE was beyond warm and welcoming. The coaches were great communicators and teachers. Will b...

Physical fitness program
👍👍 I love the whole team at JET! Geoff, Carla, April, Shubha, Bryan are all great. I highly recommend trying them out if you want solid workouts and results with people who know what they're doing.
