Row Republic

Negative experience: Have been coming her almost 8 months. Studio is closing down unexpectedly in 4 days. On one of my last classes I was going to attend they wouldn’t let me in 4 minutes late to class. Absolutely ridiculous considering I spend $229 a month. Beware

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Staff and trainers are amazing and friendly, and I've seen amazing results in my fitness level. Trainers are helpful with modifications for injuries. Happy hour classes are great--it is always nice to socialize a bit and chat with the folks you see in class all the time.

Fantastic experience: LOVE the classes and trainers. The energy is unmatched and the workout is so effective!! Really like that I can work on my endurance and also strength in a 50-min workout. I have always been inconsistent with my workouts until I joined Row Republic! It helped me push myself and stay accountable! MUST-TRY!!!

Fantastic experience: RR classes are challenging and never boring. Trainers are clearly knowledgeable because they can provide modifications for those with injuries, etc. I wish there were more locations!

Fantastic experience: Love the classes, the staff and the environment! Excited to improve my fitness routine with Row Republic!

Fantastic experience: I love everything about Row Republic! The awesome trainers, great workouts along with a fun and welcoming environment. I would highly recommend RR to anyone at any fitness level.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going about 5 days a week since September 2023 and it’s been incredibly beneficial for my fitness goals. I love going to RR because you know you’re going to get a great workout each class and 50 minute classes are so efficient with a busy work life. I love everyone at the studio!

Fantastic experience: I have had great experiences every time I take class at Row Republic! I love the format of the classes that have a good blend of rowing and strength training, and the music is always fire!!! 10/10 recommend trying a class!!!

Fantastic experience: I love that the classes alternate between cardio and strength! The coaches are so motivating and I need that, especially for the strength part of my workout!

Positive experience: Good workouts and nice staff. The equipment is in great shape and everything is very clean.

Fantastic experience: I am a convert. I love the classes. 50% rowing and 50% strength. Low impact. I've made major strides in regards to my fitness in a relatively short period of time. It is a great gym/class experience, and much more convienient than my past gym love now (Healthworks) that doesn't work for me anymore. The one thing I'll note is the could be prohibitive for some. That said, it is a great workout and experience! All the staff members are lovely and welcoming, and it’s very clean and cared for.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the Core Sculpt 50 class. The class is great for building core strength, learning right techniques for rowing, and also has a short section for HIIT type exercises. The staff and trainers are very friendly, the place is well kept and clean.

Fantastic experience: Favorite workout in Boston!

Fantastic experience: I never write public reviews, but this experience deserves it. I had my first class today and it completely exceeded all expectations. First and foremost, the front desk, particularly Luca, made me immediately feel welcomed, part of the community, inspired and excited for my class. Luca went above and beyond to make sure I was completely comfortable and informed; she was a huge reason I immediately decided to join Row Republic right after my first class! The class itself was amazing - challenging and exciting yet I never felt judged or pushed when I needed a small breather. It was a fantastic workout with super fun music. Facilities were amazing as well, along with a fun and engaging community. If you’re thinking of trying it out - DO IT! You won’t regret it :)

Fantastic experience: Great staff! Love the trainers and the music - very welcoming environment. Showers, everything is clean! Plenty of toiletries

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to RR for a few months and absolutely love the workouts and all the trainers. As soon as you walk in, you feel motivated and ready to give it your all. The trainers guide you through the entire 45/60 minutes and boost your confidence to finish strong. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a community type HIIT workout. First class is free!

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of taking my first class with Liz, it was an absolute blast! The class was both challenging and motivating, pushing me to give my best. Afterward, I felt amazing! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: One of the best workout classes I have been to, great instructors and such a good environment

Fantastic experience: Love it here. Classes are great and the instructors are personable. It kinda has a different vibe than most of the group workout classes I’ve attended that’s hard to explain…it’s supportive and motivating without being over the top. It’s refreshing to be able to turn my mind off and get an extremely intense and thoughtful workout in. Unlike other classes I leave feeling stronger than when I enter, rather than feeling beat down.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and trainers. Classes are always different so the unexpected makes the class fly by while also avoiding workout plateaus. Very easy to push yourself or scale back if you need a great workout but need to ease up at times. Trainers are supportive and encouraging during class. Looking for a workout you'll finally stick to, definitely go to row republic.

Fantastic experience: Amazing classes, crew and great equipament. I’m loving it!

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere, staff, and workouts are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Great workout and even better community.

Fantastic experience: Before I went to my first class at Row Republic, it had been 2 years since I went to a gym. I felt instantly so comfortable and at home here! The workout is challenging but the instructors keep it fun and entertaining. The staff is so incredibly kind, I can’t reccomend this place enough!!

Fantastic experience: Went to my first class this morning and immediately had to write a review. This is THE place to go for a workout class. I can not recommend it enough. The front desk was so kind and helpful as it was my first time, facilities are clean and the class itself was the best group fitness class I have ever taken. The instructor was Kristina, she was AMAZING, provided plenty of modifications, guidance and words of encouragement. Great full body workout (I did full body but the classes vary everyday), great music, great energy. Would recommend for everyone from marathon runners to people who want to get into fitness. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best low impact strength training workout in Boston! Been a member since the beginning (3 years ago) and will continue to recommend all my friends and family come here to get in shape or just to feel good

Fantastic experience: Row Republic helped me get through my running injuries and back into races with their high intensity but low impact workouts. I’m so grateful for the guidance of their knowledgable trainers and the supportive community that they’ve built. Plus their playlists are always fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! I found it by Google search before moving to Boston and came in to check it out right away. Kristina was very welcoming and explained how the classes worked and showed me the “Deep Blue”. I have been taking classes for a couple weeks now and have already seen great improvement in my rowing thanks to the coaching (Emily is particularly awesome at this!!) The format is fun and challenging as well as adaptable to every level. Finding Row Republic has made me feel at home in Boston right away!

Fantastic experience: This gym provides a first-class experience through and through. The instructors, workouts and amenities make the before, during and after classes an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. Classes are both detailed and challenging, however, the class and environment promotes completing the workout in a way that best suits you. Instructors are incredibly amiable and the personal touch they provide is second to none. If you decide to head to Row Republic - you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Living in a city like Boston it has been a STRUGGLE to find a gym that welcomes you and helps motivate you. Upon first arriving to Row Republic the front desk staff and Steven made me feel like family. I actually look forward to coming here because the energy is always so high and the staff is beyond welcoming. I have only gone to instructors Steven and Emily and all I can say is they are both INCREDIBLE. This is a great option if you're looking to find joy in your workouts and overall have a great time. Cannot rave enough about Row Republic!

Negative experience: I signed up for a Row Republic special which was one month free and 2 months at the regular price. There was another special at the same time that was a 6 month commitment that I specifically didn’t chose because I was leaving the country. I explained this to Joey on the phone when he sold me the membership and told me about the longer duration membership. I never had any intention to be on Boston beyond the 3 month contract I signed. I paid for the commitment time of the membership and left the country. While I was away I saw Row Republic charged me for an additional month beyond my contract so I contacted them to say I fulfilled my contract and please refund as I could not use a membership. They said I had to fill out a cancel form and give them a 30 day notice to cancel-despite fulfilling the obligation I had signed up for and completed. I filled out the cancel form online and they wrote back saying they made an “exception” for me and I could use my membership for one more month and they also charged me for a 4th month. This was in no way an exception as I filled out the cancel form (despite signing up for only 3 months and fulfilling that obligation) and I was charged for a 4th month that I couldn’t use after filling out the cancel form. So I filled out the cancel form after fulfilling my contract and they charged me for 30 more days that I could not use and they told me this was an “exception” they were doing for me. That part was phenomenal-telling me they made an exception and then charging me for another 30 days. I wrote to them saying this was not an exception-they charged me for an additional 30 days after my 3 month contract and after I filled out a cancel form. No reply. Super frustrating. The gym was ok. Nothing to rave about.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the Row Republic since December and am all around impressed with how welcoming the staff are to it's members. Prior to December I had been working out completely from home and had been curious about whether joining a gym was a good idea. What I found in Row Republic was a community of motivated individuals who never fail to support and motivate one another. The instructor's all bring their own unique personality and create a workout experience that challenges your individual growth. Each class might have its own spin but the instructors never fail to congratulate community members on their personal milestones and achievements. After each class, the instructors and staff take the time to listen to members feedback about the workouts, provide encouragement and promote friendly competition. I'm grateful for the environment the team at Row Republic has created for its community. Catyn, Nafisha, Abby, Grace, Sarah and the rest of instructors/ front desk staff are doing a wonderful job.

Fantastic experience: Let's just say, I commute about an hour to workout here. THAT'S how much I enjoy Row Republic! The staff, coaches and community make me feel like I can accomplish anything. Thanks for being the best start to my crazy days!

Fantastic experience: I love it here! Feels like a community and I am always greeted by name and with a smile. Classes are challenging, fun, and I always leave feeling strong. So glad I found you, Row Republic!

Fantastic experience: This place is a serious step up from other niche specialty gyms. The staff, workouts, and amenities are consistently great, whenever I come in.

Fantastic experience: Just Finished my first week! Loved the welcoming community and encouraging energy. The coaches are amazing!

Fantastic experience: We were only in Boston for a few days and wanted a good workout class. We were so glad we tried Row Republic! The teachers were incredibly helpful and friendly - they made us feel so welcome. The classes are hard and work a variety of muscles. We loved it! We will definitely be back next time we are in Boston.

Fantastic experience: I love Row Republic! The workouts are fun, intense, and low-impact. The instructors are extremely motivating and helpful. They have all the amenities you need to get about our busy day- water, towels, shower, hair dryers, etc.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a gym close to my office and after walking by a few times I finally decided to give it a try and I am so happy I did. This is the fun, tough class I have been looking for, I have enjoyed all the instructors and classes and I am trying to find more time in my schedule to attend even more.

Fantastic experience: Good to see more businesses doing the right thing and requiring vaccinations!

Fantastic experience: Such a killer workout and so much fun! I've gone to a handful of classes with different instructors and they've all been fantastic. Highly recommend trying a class here

Fantastic experience: Row Republic may be Boston’s best group fitness class! The instructors are phenomenal, the staff welcoming, the facilities clean (love the showers!), and the class itself is a great workout! My only complaint is that I with they offered more sixty minute classes!

Fantastic experience: Row Republic has been one of the most fun, energetic, and accepting fitness communities I’ve ever been apart of. Every single person in the studio is incredibly friendly and makes you feel so welcome, and all of the coaches do the exact same! They are always there to encourage you in class and for you to ask questions whenever you need. It’s been such a blast being a member here and I look forward to every class with the excitement like it’s my first one all over again! If you’re thinking about trying out Row Republic, just do it! You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Row Republic has an incredibly professional and friendly team of staff and instructors with a selection varied classes and time slots available. They have gone above and beyond maintaining a safe studio space during the pandemic.

Fantastic experience: I am very easily intimidated by new fitness studios, but when my friend Kristen told me about RR I was excited. When I got there the staff was SO incredibly professional and the instructor took time before class to make me feel at ease and break down the row machine to me as I’ve never been on one before. The class itself was the first one where I’ve never felt uncomfortable by the set up, the lighting is moody, the music is bumping and it’s like you’re in your own little club. I love that the workouts are non repetitive and you walk out of class in shock that the 50mins flew by as fast as they do. I love Catyn and Kristina and cannot wait to try the other instructors! The studio itself is always immaculate, the facility is always clean, fully stocked and not a thing out of place! Can’t rave about this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Each class is a bit different and each class fulfills my health fitness needs. The studio staff is so helpful and the instructors are top notch. I was so happy they made it through the pandemic and are now back!

Fantastic experience: Great high intensity workout, instructors are incredibly friendly and the studio has take great steps to make the space COVID safe.

Fantastic experience: I've tried cycling, CrossFit, Pilates, Vinyasa, Hot Yoga, and others, but Row Republic is my favorite. They give you enough encouragement to keep pushing through without feeling forced. By breaking the 50 minute sessions into 6 sections, alternating rowing and floorwork the time flies by. And going as little as once a week you'll still notice results. Give it a try.

Fantastic experience: Best workout in Boston, seriously. The instructors are incredible, the classes are hard, and the time just flies by. I leave sweaty and satisfied every single class. The amenities are also some of the best I've seen in the city – makeup wipes, dry shampoo, deodorant, and my personal favorite: an icy cold scented towel when you leave class.

Fantastic experience: Easily the best fitness studio I’ve been to in Boston. The studio has a great vibe, clean, and outfitted with great amenities. The staff are friendly, and welcoming. The classes are diverse and challenging between the row machine and floor workout. As long distance runner and non rower I’ve found this to be the perfect cross training workout. The teachers are great giving a quick intro before the class begins to catch up newbies. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I've never loved boutique workout places until Row Republic! The value here is amazing! Value is my problem with other places. I always try these places like c-town cycle, row house, everybody fights, etc. When they offer their free or heavily discounted classes but they never seem to hook me because I don't see the value. With RR, it is the perfect balance of tough/hard work and rest/recovery, with the right balance of positive motivation and great amenities. The workouts with Catyn have been fantastic. I marvel at how well she coordinates both halves of the class, on the floor and on the row machines (ergs) with varying effort and different full body moves over the course of 3-8 minute circuits. I've been a triathlete for a while so I can throw on my shoes and go for a run, get on my bike and ride or go to a pool and get my own workout in (almost free) but it's not the same. RR has such an amazing full body workout that has made me feel sore in new ways and ways I didn't know I missed! The facilities are super clean, I love seeing the people there cleaning constantly, restocking towels, cleaning the bathrooms/showers, blow out/hair stations or of course popping into the workout space before and after a workout. I'm in awe of the fact that they have this huge mirror with great lights for blow out/hair/makeup stations with hair dryers, hair spray, men's hair product and spray in shampoo! Of course, they have the expected, free pick your own 4-digit lockers. Another few extras to top it off, chilled, lavender scented towels after a workout, or on Fridays "Rowsecco," with bottles popped after class!! Maybe my favorite, they have three water taps for sparkling, cold and ambient!! Is the class to loud for you, need earplugs? Forget a hair tie? Need a piece of gum, it's all there for you, included in your class price! Oh, and the front desk people/local owners are super nice and helpful! All that, with a great workout! Now that's value worth the cost and time!!!

Fantastic experience: SUCH a good workout. Barry's-style, but without the running. It goes by fast and I'm always really sore afterwards. The music is great and I love that you're always very focused on your own space, so you don't feel like your workout is dependent on the energy of those around you...I recommend going to class during busy hours, because when it's slow they put the entire class on rowers (v. busy hours when the class is split 1/2 rowers, 1/2 floor) and you miss out on the natural energy and encouragement that comes from a split class.

Fantastic experience: Just an awesome experience in "the shark tank" - Great vibe in the class I took. Parking is hard - But will certainly be back.

Fantastic experience: You will get a rewarding workout at RR! The online portal to reserve class spots is easy to use, you have many times to choose from depending if you are a morning or evening person, the place is immaculately clean, they have great amenities and facilities to freshen up after working out, trainers are always challenging you but supportive at the same time, and the front desk staff provides great customer service. You won't be disappointed if you join this community!

Fantastic experience: LOVE Row Republic. Fantastic blend of cardio and weights.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE Row Republic! The staff is amazing and I always get a great workout! The studio is nice and always clean and the location is great!

Fantastic experience: Great workout (think Barry's Bootcamp-style setup, with rowing machines instead of treadmills). Instructors are friendly, fit, and enthusiastic - they offer feedback on proper form for both rowing and floor exercises. The facilities are spotless and high end, with rain showers and Drybar amenities. Clients are always greeted with a smile and the vibe of the classes is very positive.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Row Republic a few times a month since they've opened in the summer. Everyone, including the trainers front desk staff, and founders (Joey and Kristina), are extremely positive and friendly. Each trainer has a distinct personality but they're all great! Often, many classes that use rowers don't really show you how to properly use them. I really appreciated how there's a 15-minute introduction to the class; there's even a special class geared to improving your form. The workout of course is amazing - I love how the class is structured between the floor and the rowers. Finally, the studio itself is in fantastic condition, and the showers are great. Even though I have a separate membership at a gym with a lot of classes, I still am happy to supplement those classes with this workout, since it's absolutely worth it.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful studio with amazing classes and awesome people!! Always a challenge, but so welcoming to all levels of fitness.

Fantastic experience: At RR, the people rock and are very welcoming and respectful, the atmosphere is lit, the workouts are hard/challenging (they should be), and I feel great after every class. As someone who has struggled with weight for a long time and turned my nose the very idea of working out to begin with, I find RR cool and fun to keep up with. Solid program.

Fantastic experience: LOVE this studio. The attention to detail in the setup is particularly impressive, and I've never been on rowers as smooth as the ones here. The bench stations have everything already in them, so no mad scramble to grab the size weights you want. It's a solid workout and you will leave wanting to come back. Locker rooms have Drybar amenities, which is also a bonus.

Fantastic experience: Love Row Republic, and as a North End resident, you can't beat the location! The staff and instructors are warm and welcoming and everyone seems genuinely happy to be there. As someone who considers herself out of shape, this is a great work out for all levels of expertise.

Fantastic experience: New obsession! Row Republic is a great way to change up your workout routine. The classes and instructors are great. The classes are challenging and the instructors really help make sure you are rowing correctly and will push you during the floor workouts! The atmosphere is awesome and filled with friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great studio and addition to Boston- workouts are tough and varied. Highly recommend Row Republic to those looking to mix up their fitness routine or find a new challenge.

Fantastic experience: Row Republic is my new favorite workout! Every class is different, but I’m always ready to book my next class. Definitely give it a try!

Fantastic experience: Obsessed in an understatement!! The workout is unlike anything Boston has had to offer before. The studio is luxurious, the staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the trainers are excellent and SO talented. Rowing is a full body, high intensity, strength workout that makes me feel so challenged but so strong. The class is a full body tone!! Perfect mix of HIIT, cardio, and strength. The class is interval based, switching between the rower and your own personal fitness bench with varying weights. It is so fun and upbeat the class fly's by....and by the end you are totally wiped out! Definetly adding this into my weekly fitness routine for so many reasons!

Fantastic experience: After having taken a 3 year plus hiatus from working out, Row Republic has been an amazing way to get back into a routine! As someone who is NOT a fitness person, it takes a lot to win me over. The owners and instructors have been so nice and welcoming, I wasn't intimidated at all! Its an incredibly challenging, rewarding and worthwhile workout that you can do at your own pace (the instructors help you make sure your form is correct so that you're getting the most out of it, and they'll help with modifications!) I'm now committed to doing it regularly and lots of my coworkers have joined me and love it too! Highly recommend for all levels, its so fun!

Fantastic experience: I love this place! It’s a tough workout but the instructors do an awesome job keeping it upbeat and moving. They also do a great job walking you through the different exercises. I look forward to the days I go!

Fantastic experience: I love this rowing studio. The workouts are challenging and non-repetitive, the class is always changing and upbeat. The instructors do a great job of keeping the vibe up in the room and challenging people (in a supportive way) when the workout gets tough.

Fantastic experience: Row Republic has quickly become my favorite place to workout in Boston! Joining a new gym can be intimidating but the owners/instructors at Row are extremely welcoming & encouraging! This is the best workout in Boston & I will be telling everyone!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with great instructors! The studio and all the equipment is brand new. All of the staff are super friendly and the classes are great!

Fantastic experience: All of the classes I’ve taken have been great! I’ve never rowed before and was a little nervous to start, but the instructors are super nice and approachable. The classes fly by and feel like a good challenge. Highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: Not at all a fan of classes, but tried this with my coworkers and have been hooked since. The workouts are amazing and the energy each of the trainers brings is positive and motivating. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The energy and workout at Row Republic are on point every time I go! As someone who hasn’t really Rowed before, I’m surprised by how much I LOVE it! The music and exercises are great each class - Row republic has definitely earned a spot on my fitness routine!

Fantastic experience: Totally hooked on Row! I've been taking 2 classes/week for 4 weeks now, and I can totally see and feel a difference in my body. The instructors bring a great energy which make the 50 min classes fly by! Would recommend to anyone looking for a low impact, high intensity work out.

Fantastic experience: Ditto to what all the other five star ratings have said! I came to the studio with zero rowing experience but the staff was more then helpful in getting me and other participants ready and comfortable. The classes are challenging for all levels, the trainers are excellent and welcoming, and the studio is stocked with all the amenities! Definitely recommend going in!

Fantastic experience: One of the BEST fitness studios I have been too! The atmosphere, staff, and workouts are amazing. Facility is immaculate from head to toe, and not to mention cold lavender towels right after a sweaty class is always a plus! Everything is so well thought out, from music, to workouts, to even providing the best care to customers. Make sure to take Connors class, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely obsessed! Row Republic has quickly become one of my favorite studios in Boston. From the entrance and friendly front desk staff to the dry bar products to the custom Fit Benches to the lavender infused post-class towels, Row provides the ultimate luxury fitness class experience! The instructors are amazing and the workout itself is unbelievable, but also lower impact on the knees— for me, that keeps me coming back and more often than I can elsewhere. 1000% recommend. Amazing work, Joey and Kristina!!

Fantastic experience: This is my new favorite cross training workout! I am new to rowing but found it to be something that I enjoy. It is challenging and fun at the same time. I enjoy the variety of the class and I always feel like I got a great workout in. The environment is awesome and all of the staff and instructors are welcoming and passionate about what they do. I appreciate them taking the time to ensure that I was using the rowing machines properly for the best workout possible

Fantastic experience: Love these classes. I go once or twice a week, and already see results. The instructors really know what they’re doing, and push you to kill you workout. I talk about this experience to everyone I know because I am constantly feeling the results! (Meaning I cant walk for 2 days after)

Fantastic experience: Love the low impact intervals on the rower and the fast paced but modifiable sets on the floor. I never had rowing experience before this and love that they have you come early and teach you the basics on the rower so you don’t hurt yourself. And love that they offer noon classes for that middle of the day burn.

Fantastic experience: More than just a rowing class, but also has what you need if you are an experienced rower or looking to get back into it. The instructors are all top-notch - motivating and keep you ready for the next exercise set. Great facility and staff as well
