Healthworks Cambridge

Positive experience: I love the yoga and dance courses here (they collaborate with Bo Forbes)! The drop in and membership options are flexible. The renovations are coming along well and they give you their general discount in addition to other discount the individual may qualify for.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Healthworks for a year now and I love it! It's clean, it has all the equipment you could want, lots of variety in classes offered and tons of "spa" features, like a sauna and a whirlpool. It's a little pricey but you get A LOT for your money. They even have on site nutritionists, personal trainers and massage therapists. I highly recommend joining!

Fantastic experience: Healthworks is the best gym. The staff, trainers, spa staff and classes are amazing. The facilities, showers, steam bath, sauna and locker room are amazingly clean, well maintained and a pleasure to use. I couldn't recommend this gym more highly. It is heavenly-

Positive experience: I'm a member of all three and my preference is to go to the Cambridge location due to parking and as it is closer to me. As someone who really loves a good sauna after a workout I have to say the wet/sauna area is showing it's age and in spite of them being good a cleaning, they are less on top of leaks and it appears like there is mildew growing on some of the tiles in the shower area and they are not taking care of leaks as quickly as I would expect. I am very mold sensitive and am finding that I will likely have to stop using this facility given the leaks/mold. I pointed out the leak that is in the picture below a few weeks ago and it is still there (as of Friday at least). I find the BackBay/Brookline locker room facilities are in far better shape. It's just there is no parking and so they are much less convenient facilities. Otherwise it is a a great facility and runs well but having mold free gym and taking care of leaks quickly are of the essence for those of us who are mold sensitive :(

Fantastic experience: Been going here for a few months. Was sort of aimless at first but then started training with Ian once a week. He helped me build a solid routine, taught me form and consistency and all the intricacies of strength training. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and very good at his job. Highly recommend his services for anyone who wants to get seriously strong!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. All the pamper-y amenities, classes are included in membership (and they're amazing), and the community is super inclusive.

Fantastic experience: Joined this gym in January… love the location, trainers, steam room/sauna and all the machines and classes!

Fantastic experience: Been a member of the Cambridge Healthworks gym for several decades and rate it very highly for lots of reasons, including many workout amenities, convenient location in Porter Sq. w. parking and many other key businesses of convenience, extended hours, design and cleanliness of Club space, and friendly and professional staff, mgt. and trainers. Tends to be pricey, but overall, worth it if can afford it. Like their Foundation that also reaches out to less advantaged populations.

Fantastic experience: Responsive management , clean areas, great staff, amazing wet room. Also a great place to take classes and get a personal trainer or a massage! Well worth the money

Fantastic experience: Healthworks is amazing!!! I love the staff and the amenities are fantastic. Sometimes I just go for the sauna. They waived my cancellation fees when I moved across the country too!! Just a sign of a great community establishment. Healthworks is what I will miss most about Boston!

Fantastic experience: I just joined recently and have loved being a member at Healthworks! It has friendly staff, clean facilities, great classes, and an amazing hot tub and sauna, which is always great for a post workout soak. Healthworks also has terrific member benefits and other cool programs — digital fitness platform, personal trainers, and onsite massages. Definitely recommend! :)

Fantastic experience: Great value and excellent services offered. This is truly a luxury gym and the staff keep up worth that image! Taylor is a great personal trainer and would recommend her to people of all abilities!

Fantastic experience: REALLY GREAT GYM! It is slightly more expensive than what I was used to, but I get 20x more stuff for the price! Classes are my jam (Zumba, Barre, Body Pump, etc); My old gym was $73/ month but they only offered ~2- 3 classes per day. Healthworks has ~20-25 CLASSES PER DAY!! There is barely an hour where there isn't a class offered. And they have every sort of class imaginable as well as a great cardio area a ton of training tools (TRX, medicine balls, bands, etc) a decent, (albeit somewhat small) free weight area, a ton of weight machines, and let's not forget one of my favorite things: they have a hot tub! Just 5 mins in there after a workout takes away all my aches & pains. Their locker room is amazing with towel service, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, razors, shower caps, makeup removing wipes, hair dryers, a clothing steamer, vanity areas to put on makeup and do your hair. They have a pretty much nonstop locker room attendant that is always cleaning and restocking everything so it's a VERY CLEAN locker room (which is definitely not always the case with gym locker rooms!). They have personal trainers, massage therapists, child care, etc. At my old gym I rented a locker and they charged $32/month for it, so I was paying $105/month there anyway, and now I'm paying the same amount for a 10x the number of classes, and a ton more services and amenities. SO WORTH IT! I purchased the membership that enables me to go to their 3 other gyms as well but you can buy a membership to just one gym too. I got a free 2 week membership first to see if I'd like it, and there's absolutely no commitment to join after that; if you want me to help you get a free 2 week membership, just LMK!

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for a few years and have loved it. Lots of equipment, great classes, and I've never had to wait for a squat rack. Very clean and the staff is super helpful. Unfortunately, I've had to leave due to a move. The process to cancel is very painless and the membership associates go out of their way to make sure the process is quick and easy. Can't recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: Every one is very friendly and aupportuve to fitness and health goals.

Fantastic experience: Most of the bad reviews for this gym are from 5+ years ago - there must have been some serious renovations/improvements since then, because I don't think those problems still exist. I just joined this gym about a month ago, and IS expensive, but I feel like I'm getting so much more use out of it than I did my BSC membership. First of all, the cardio equipment is very nice, with built in touch screens that let you track your workout with an app on your phone. The complaints from users that you have to sign up for the cardio equipment are no longer the case; even at 5-6 pm there are still usually a couple of machines free (you might not get your favorite treadmill, but it's not over capacity). It does get busy on the free weight floor, but I'll take having to wait my turn over having to awkwardly work out around a bunch of much more fit bros any day. Moreover, the gym is clean, spacious, well lit, and has a nice view - yes it's weird that the check in and locker room are in the basement and the workout floor is on the third or fourth floor of the building, but whatever. Overall, I think this is a good investment if you can afford it. If you're a teacher, mention that - you get a small discount off their mid-tier package but it's worth it.

Fantastic experience: The best sport club ever!

Fantastic experience: I agree with the positive reviews. Healthworks is an affordable all inclusive city club with nice amenities. Yes it's crowded at peak times, but what good club isn't? Steam and sauna rooms are nice useful amenities. Showers work. There is adequate cleaning staff. The personal trainers are qualified according to professional standards. I recommend this club especially for women who are interested in their physical well being as they move into the 50's, 60's and even higher. Especially during the day.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful club, awesome trainers, instructors and super friendly staff. Conveniently located across from the Porter Sq. stop on the red line.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym!! It's kind of a combination of spa and workout facility in one – the steam room, sauna and hot tub are not only amazing but beautiful!! ( and in my experience they are almost never out of commission....) The staff is super nice – and the classes that they offer are varied and excellent – There is something at the gym for everyone… I have never been to a gym anywhere that I would give a higher recommendation to
