BodyScapes Fitness Kendall Square

"LOCATION: After you go through the front glass doors, it's up a set of stairs that are kinda not marked enough for my liking...took me 1-3 minutes to figure things out after looking around confused • thankfully only one set of stairs • door in staircase leads directly into the common space, which was great • a few bike poles in front, relatively safe area SPACE: • co-ed workout floor with LOTS of equipment in various pockets of space around the facilities • classes are held in rooms that are on the way to the locker from the lobby FACILITIES: • shower are GREAT includes body wash, shampoo (conditioner?) • Y'ALL THERE'S A SAUNA ROOM (takes 15 minutes to heat up) AMENITIES: • locker rooms have keyless combination locks (i think?) STAFF: Receptionist I met was SUPER nice and SUPER helpful. She's been working there for 10+ years! ClassPass Experience: Vinyasa Yoga with Sara Olenich • should've arrived A BIT earlier because need to sign a waiver form • class was good, teacher was decent • Room where my class was held was through a set of glass doors with a mirror wall at the "front " of the classrooms, had free and barball weights, yoga mats, blocks and steps • Generally though, as of Feb/Mar 2024, they don't have a lot of classes available, just one or two after 5pm on the weekdays. :("

"Very happy with this gym. Centrally located near lots of employers. I was in town for work, didn't want to just stop my training, and BodyScapes fit the bill, providing week and month passes = perfect. All the equipment you need, dumbbells up to 80 lbs, locker rooms, showers, and classes and other things I didn't need."

"Front desk staff are amazingly nice and helpful and the gym is pretty well equipped. When I visited only 1 shower was working properly in the women's locker room but the one that did was decent."

"This gym is pretty awful and not worth the money. I'd highly recommend several other places before here. I only went because we had a corporate discount, but immediately switched the first chance I got. The equipment is newer, but the staff never clean or wipe anything down. Normally I wouldn't mind as much, but they also don't refill the dispenser wipes, which means that I can't clean them either. When you ask for the wipes to be refilled, the staff usually looks extremely put out and suggest you try a different dispenser -- this happened several times. The locker rooms are OK at best. They seem to do the bare minimum -- if anything -- to fix any issues though. (i.e. it's normal for 1-2 of the 4 showers in the men's locker room to be out of order at any given time. The showers also seem pretty dirty and grimy. The one nice thing is that each locker is programmable so you can lock away your belongings. Trust me, there are much better places nearby."

"This place is NEVER crowded. There is a lot of good and nice equipment and plenty of space. The locker rooms are nice and the showers are super clean. There is only one stair machine, but since the gym is never crowded, it's not a big issue. I like this place because I can get in, get my workout on, and get out."
