Powerhouse Gym Newton

"Waste of money and absolutely disgusting. I moved to Lafayette from Roxbury and needed to switch gyms from Planet Fitness in Rockaway to Powerhouse in Newton. I decided to give it a try because it was literally one of the few options available in the area. After signing up, I truly regret my decision and should have just kept my old PF membership. 1. Men's bathroom is gross. Pungent smell of urine is in the air. 2. Machines are always in some sort of nasty state or not working. (Sweat streaks on handles and on bars, people not cleaning up after themselves, treadmills not working correctly.) I guess cleanliness of the machines / equipment is not a priority for this gym. I now have to pay $99 (which is ridiculous for a gym that's maintained with such minimal effort) to end my membership at this gym."

"Half the treadmills don’t work properly -gym followed up and are working on it! (Called me) put them past 5mph and they buffer on the speed can’t maintain a constant speed. Usually some dirty rags on gym floor Flooding issue could be solved by putting money into the entrance rather than sandbags and tape Overall good gym 2.5/5 good decent gym gets the job done Patrons kinda gross sometimes too (not affecting rating) - saw a guy walking around shaving his face on gym floor lol If there weren’t ongoing issues this is a 4-4.5 / 5 gym"

"It's overpriced... the manager doesn't care about the old equipment or customers, the building constantly gets flooded when there is a little bit of rain. The staff barely greet you on your way in. save your money for another gym they aren't worth it. On top of that, I don't even believe they clean equipment because there's a rancid smell that comes from the cables."

"I joined powerhouse gym of newton in mid January of 2023 and it’s been really good so far. I enjoy the space. They have a good balance of weight area, machines, and a stretch area. The staff is super friendly. I have to give props to Ian. He’s a personal trainer who gave me a taste of personal training with a free class. I found it very helpful and I got to learn a lot about my physical capabilities. It was a great new experience and Ian is fabulous personal trainer. Power house gym of newton is my new go to gym for keeping me active and healthy."

"Love this place! The vibe is motivating and everyone is friendly. If you feel like just doing cardio or lifting heavy, it offers both. There always seems to be new equipment showing up and everything is maintained well. It's just an awesome gym overall. I have paid $100 a month for gyms that are half as good. I would not compare this to a $10 gym that you will never go to. This Powerhouse is doing it right! I highly recommend!"
