Cambridge Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Lots of amenities like group fitness, CrossFit, Squash courts, women's only section, yoga / Pilates room, steam & sauna. Towels are free, nice staff

Fantastic experience: The First st location is clearly the best of the three, great new weightlifting equipment and friendly, helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Great gym...

Fantastic experience: Been going here for a couple months. The gym is great - plenty of equipment, not too crowded, friendly staff. Can’t ask for more in a gym

Fantastic experience: The facility at 215 First St. is roomy with lots of equipment, including a women-only studio, so I rarely have to wait to use any machine. Recently they've added new classes, so there are varied options for cardio, flexibility and balance exercises. The staff and other members are friendly and encouraging. With the help of my personal trainer weekly training sessions since December 2021 I've lost 35 pounds. I'm feeling good and I look forward to continuing to improve my health with the support of the CAC community.

Fantastic experience: great facility for a reasonable price! the women's only fitness studio was a big sell for me

Fantastic experience: Small but compact gym with 5 power racks and two weightlifting platforms, which are very nice. I go to CAC during rush hours but always can find a rack. They allow me to use chalk! It is a big bonus to me, maybe it is the main reason I still go here even living far away from here.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms in the area

Fantastic experience: I came to this gym from June 2021 - July 2022. Only reason I left was due to moving to a new state. I wish I could still come to this place! It is incredibly well-kept and offers a lot to do. I came for weightlifting and they offered more than enough equipment for my desired goals, though they also offered squash, basketball, crossfit, and fitness classes. During peak hours between 5pm - 6pm the gym was busy, but you could get a squat rack or a deadlift pad within 5 minutes of waiting. I always saw someone pass by cleaning the floors, which was a nice touch, and cleaning wipes were always in a convenient reach. I had a great experience here and will miss it!

Fantastic experience: Amazing club, I usually go for squash and working out. The courts are great and they have enough equipment and good variety of machines. Recommend especially if you want a good gym to go to after work.

Positive experience: The instructors & the equipment are great. Carla is the best. Wifi isn’t fantastic though

Fantastic experience: Very clean and nice gym! I can tell they really care about their clients. Nice and quiet during off hours as well.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, plenty of space and machines. Wonderful friendly staff that also take the mask mandate seriously and enforce it. The majority of people follow the rules and wear their masks, but there's a minority that try and play games. Just flag these selfish jerks and management will be on them - a few people have had their memberships suspended for repeatedly unmasking. So if you've been someone concerned about returning to a gym due to COVID, CAC Anthenaeum is about as good as it gets.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality * It is clean and orderly, we usually see cleaning staff taking care of the environment * They have complete set of weight lifting equipments and cardio machines * Plenty of equipment and we never had to wait for anything

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Great composition of basketball court, squash court, cross-fit box, gym and freestyle area! Friendly reception, great trainers. Very clean and no waiting times at fitness machines! Great place!

Fantastic experience: CAC is a wonderful gym, with incredibly helpful staff. You can tell a lot about a gym based on how they treat your cancellation. I unfortunately had to cancel because I moved away, but they treated me perfectly with respect, and made the process painless. 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: I love how I am always greeted when entering and farewelled on my way out.

Fantastic experience: CAC has been my favorite gym for about 4 years. On top of having a good range of equipment and services, the place is clean. Like really clean. It's always been clean, but they have taken a lot of extra steps to make the place safe for a 2020 world. Lots of wipes and hand sanitizer within reach everywhere. Spaces clearly marked out around benches and weights. Plastic shields between cardio equipment. Well ventilated. Big signs everywhere explaining what's safe. Again, CAC has always provided a higher level gym experience. But it's nice to see them keeping up with required changes.

Fantastic experience: Really clean gym, staff is always super nice, and the app makes everything easy to book. I've never had to wait for any equipment and there always plenty of towels. The locker rooms are roomy and super clean.The women's room makes stretching and doing floor work really comfortable. The trainer I have worked with has been super knowledgeable and encouraged me the whole way.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff!

Fantastic experience: Maria keeps the gym spotless. I also appreciate how many classes there are to choose from.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers. Unthreatening environment. Decent equipment

Fantastic experience: Satisfied long-time member. Clean facility, friendly staff, variety of class offerings, smart trainers.

Fantastic experience: Location, price and equipment is great. Friendly staff. Never have to wait long to use something. Towel service. Weakest point would be the shower/locker room. It's fine and is clean, but I've seen nicer, more modern facilities. Very happy with my decision to join and I'd recommend it to anyone, particularly if you work or live in the area. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Great gym in the community

Fantastic experience: This place has been great, I initially had a problem and left a bad review but I was immediately contacted and the issue was resolved. I'm so happy and it makes me really like this place, I felt valued.

Fantastic experience: I recommend this gym to everyone at work. It's clean, offers lots of classes, provides a workout AND shower towel so you don't have to carry that around with you. Just so much to offer if you're in that area.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, amazing squash group instructor, the Body Pump classes are really good. I haven’t tried all classes but there are many and the ones I’ve done I like. I like having a women’s only exercise room mostly because sometimes it can be empty (off-peak hours) and the 5am-midnight unstaffed location is nice for when I end up working out really late. Carla resolved all my membership questions very easily, this gym does not try to make it tough to quit if you need to, she made the process super easy when I wanted to quit, then decided to stay for another month or so (no longer best location for me).

Fantastic experience: Great Staff, love the sauna and women's room.

Fantastic experience: Good range of lifting equipment for serious lifters; decent lockerroom facilities.

Fantastic experience: Well maintained. Upgrades equipments regularly. Now has four power racks and two weightlifting pads.

Fantastic experience: Free towel service and basketball court.

Fantastic experience: To the comment about old equipment - they just renovated in the past year and the equipment is all new. And there is a cafe/juice bar next to both locations. The people there are wonderful and the classes are fantastic!
