Healthworks Fitness Back Bay

"Healthworks is a good women’s only gym, has the potential to be great. Just lacking strong AC and quality classes. The stepper machines are not in locations for taller females, can hit your head on the ceiling if not properly leaning over. Have been coming here on and off for 3 years. Currently doing construction downstairs, very loud and less space. Hopefully the construction will be done soon and AC will be added! Overall if ok classes and low AC do not bother you, I would recommend Healthworks!"

"Joined a few months ago and really appreciate how clean and nice the gym is. However there are some issues with the classes. There is extreme variation between instructors with some of them being awesome and some seeming like they are either inexperienced or underprepared. There is also a lot of variability is how challenging the class is based on the instructor, especially with some barre classes being super hard and some being almost no work at all. Most of the classes with the good instructors fill up immediately also which is frustrating. I joined mainly because I like doing a variety of classes vs working out on my own, so not sure how long I’ll stick around if I keep being unable to get into certain classes or have to take a gamble on whether the class will be worth my time."

"Honestly, this is the best gym ever!!! They have all the equipment you would want whether you are more into weightlifting with barbells or prefer cardio machines or group fitness classes. It's always so clean; I feel like it's spacious enough where you aren't waiting forever or even that long for a machine or equipment on a busy day. I started coming here because of the perk through work and coworkers of mine who were members who moved out of state said that one of the top 5 things they miss the most about Boston is this gym.... it's pretty great."

"I can’t say enough positive things about this gym. staff are extremely friendly, amenities are clean, they have all the equipment I could ever want, and plenty of it! 5 Olympic lifting platforms, a turf, multiple different rooms to exercise in. Plus their classes are fun, motivational, and always positive. Highly highly recommend this place!"

"Healthworks is the first gym I’ve ever looked forward to going to! The facilities are amazing and the classes are even better. I religiously did their cycling, body pump, and Pilates classes. The real highlight for me was the personal training I did with Kati once a week for about 6 months. I can not emphasize enough how amazing she was! My workout each week was progressive and tailored to me and my fitness goals. Kati was super knowledgeable and friendly. She always made sure my form was correct and emphasized the mind muscle connection. I saw noticeable differences in the way my body felt and looked after only a month with Kati. I looked forward to my workouts with her each week and was heartbroken when I moved to NYC and could no longer train with her."
