Rx Strength Training

Fantastic experience: Fantastic welcoming fitness facility! Everyone is very nice and top notch coaches.

Fantastic experience: Lifting gyms can Be intimidating places, especially for a woman. I started coming to Rx strength training to attend acro yoga classes at equilibrium, but decided to take personal training classes because the staff is so friendly. When you first walk in the space you are greeted by a pride/trans flag and a Black Lives Matter flag. Even though I don’t have one of those marginalized identities, it made me feel like it was an inclusive and empathetic space and set a tone of belonging. The gym is non pretentious, It’s not an equinox and doesn’t pretend to be, it’s in a big warehouse what you get instead are staffed gym hours with actual trainers who can answer questions in case you need help with your form. Most of the time I’m there I see the owner giving private lessons or teaching a class. There are several pieces of equipment that other gyms don’t have that have made weightlifting Accessible to me, I greatly appreciate The ssb bar, when I couldnt lean now to lift a low bar, it made squats possible for me. I also love working with my trainer (John). He has been so patient with me and didn’t let me give up when I was struggling to learn to form for deadlifts. He understood how my body structure made it difficult and suggested a wider stance, which was a game changer for me. Only downside is it’s lack of air conditioner, but summer is short. Glad I did the personal training pack and happy to recommend the studio (and equilibrium acrobatics) to others.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Rx Strength Training for over 2 years. It is a welcoming, inclusive environment filled with friendly members, helpful staff and knowledgeable trainers. Recommended!

Fantastic experience: The staff was very friendly. Showers and parking were handy too

Fantastic experience: Im wondering if the little olympic weightlifting room with the orange/brownish walls are open for public use or is that a part of the gym normal people cant enter. Because in the video that i saw it doesnt show that room and it only shows the main part of the gym with the grass and the poweracks.

Fantastic experience: This is a top notch facility! It's awesome to have access to an elite training facility and equipment at a good price. The environment is terrific because both the coaches and the members have a very high level knowledge of how to improve fitness. They also almost have every piece of equipment that you could possibly desire and even when it's busy you can easily get your training done. A big focus on power lifting/olympic lifting here, but you can train for any sport here. Motivating environment.

Fantastic experience: Had a lot of fun here. This gym offers an Olympic weightlifting club, as well as the equipment to solo train in weightlifting, power lifting, or any barbell training if that's your thing. They also have kettlebell classes with great coaching and a great open gym setup. LGBTQ+ friendly. Staff was super nice. Only left because I had to move, but if you want a gym with terf, barbells, metal and bumper plates, kettlebells and dumbbells' this is the best gym in the area, in my opinion.

Fantastic experience: A great gym to workout at, 5 stars service.

Fantastic experience: I move regularly and have lifted in dozens of gyms in dozens of cities--Rx Strength is easily top 3. The staff, equipment, atmosphere, training programs, and teams are superb. Staff: knowledgeable, professional, easy-to-reach, responsive. Equipment: stellar, constantly evaluated, regularly updated. I do Olympic and powerlifting and found anything I could want. Atmosphere: I was in the midst of grad school and nobody batted an eye if I need to quick knock out a few pages of reading; everyone was welcoming and generous; and the teammates were great. Programming: individualized, helpful, and made big strides in my form (particularly in Oly). Teams: great fun, great mutual care and support--what more could I want?

Fantastic experience: A great gym to workout at, can be trained in all kinds of fighting styles. The staff there are cool people and can help you with anything you need.

Fantastic experience: Great facility and great coaches! Jeff is a kettlebell guru and Alex's USAW weightlifting club is top notch!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in the gym for the last 2 mornings and could not have been more impressed. Before our trip, I had called and left a message asking about dropping in; Jeff called back within an hour and encouraged us to stop by. I was excited to hear they had platforms and kilo plates! My brother loved all the fun toys: sleds and sand bags! The gym was well kept and the most organized I have ever seen. There were so many pieces of equipment, but everything had a place and was returned to that place. This left plenty of space for various activities. I was also impressed observing Jeff coach and how the individual members moved so well. The staff was very friendly. Showers and parking were handy too. If I lived in this area of Boston, Rx Strength Training is definitely where I would be training!

Fantastic experience: A good mix of cardio and strength classes. There’s also the weekend stretch and Viking class(a must try) both Jeff and Meg are fantastic trainers. Great place for all levels from beginners to experts.

Fantastic experience: Jeff Butterworth and his whole crew at Rx Strength Training are pretty extraordinary. A positive, welcoming environment helped my son transform himself from an athletic kid to a power-house athlete who just earned MVP status for points earned on his track team with a constant and steady rise of PRs! Jeff has also welcomed the whole family and over the last year, helped everyone in the family (from 10yrs up to 47) prepare for our first Spartan race. Jeff's knowledge is impressively extensive, but it is his personal investment in the growth of the athlete, whatever his/her ability or goals, that is so transformative. Working with Jeff has been, quite literally, life-giving and...fun! Thanks, Rx!

Fantastic experience: Rx is absolutely fantastic. The coaches are super welcoming, the classes have a ton of variety, and the gym culture is great. Classes cover everything from strongman to kettle bell sport to weightlifting. Can't recommend the gym enough.

Fantastic experience: This gym has everything and the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Always a great workout!

Fantastic experience: RX Strength Training is amazing! When I started diverse training options and a family atmosphere were some of the key selling points, those same points have kept me coming back for more than 4 years. Back then, I couldn't go up a flight of stairs without getting winded and had to do most exercises without weights. Now I compete and win StrongMan competitions. I owe my success to the knowledge the amazing trainers provide and the support from the other athletes. I strongly encourage anyone to try RX Strength Training out, you will find classes that meet your needs and interest!

Fantastic experience: Rx is an amazing gym run by really knowledgeable and friendly trainers. Classes are small enough to get good instruction and advice from coaches and the community is welcoming and friendly. The gym is well worth their monthly membership and is almost half the cost of similar plans at local CrossFit gyms. I love getting to focus both on strength of standard lifts (bench, squat, deadlift), Olympic lifts, and more obscure stuff (kettlebell sport, sandbag training). Lifts are specifically programmed over multiple months to work towards increasing PRs. Metabolic conditioning classes are well done too and killer. Plus Jeff is just awesome.

Fantastic experience: Hallelujah!!!! RX Strength Training was my miracle workout for preparation not only for national pageants, but for a lifestyle in good health and overall fitness. Jeff is EXTREMELY knowledgeable when it comes to training, but his nutrition guidance really opened my eyes to things about food I never knew. I would highly recommend RX to anyone interested in a healthier lifestyle, achieving a fitness goal, or preparing for competition. I know I would not have gotten as far as I did without their help!

Fantastic experience: Jeff and his team are rock star trainers. I was not a hardcore weights guy or strength-focused athlete before RxFit. But I wanted to give it a try. Jeff is the friendliest guy and made me feel comfortable when I decided to walk in one evening. I've been a member of the gym ever since. Super knowledgeable, focused on safe training, growth, and the commitment of their athletes, the RxFit team is unbeatable. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I met the owner Jeff almost 3 years ago at a GORUCK 12 hour challenge. It was an intense event, but it was a small group of us and he stood out as someone who was a real champion for the whole group to succeed. We stayed in touch via FB and when I moved to the Boston area last summer I was looking for a new gym. I came in tried a couple classes out at Jeff's gym and was hooked right away. The coaches are all super supportive and all have different styles, so even if you go to the same class taught by two different people you are getting a totally different experience. I love the kettlebell sport class! I had never done KB like that before, and I was a little nervous at first, but gave it a try and actually surprised myself with how well I did at it. It is great to be surrounded by a great group of people and having fun while kicking your own butt in the gym. Great gym, great coaches, great atmosphere. Definitely recommended it!

Fantastic experience: Rx Strength Training is not your typical gym where you go and mindlessly get on a cardio machine for 30 minutes. It is a place where the owner and coaches genuinely want you to reach your fitness goals while having fun at the same time. They have classes in all different styles using non-traditional equipment (think sledge hammers, sandbags, and tires) as well as barbells and kettlebells.

Fantastic experience: I love my experiences at RX Strength every time I get to train there. A gym founded on real fitness principles that is both an inviting and invigorating atmosphere. Very knowledgeable and approachable coaches, who take personal interest in your fitness goals. Also, a great place to hang out and make a friend or two!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic gym. The most comprehensively knowledgeable coaches I've encountered since college athletics. Open gym hours are a huge perk as well. This gym is a place I'm happy to escape to.

Fantastic experience: Top notch training in Olympic and Powerlifts from a well versed and diverse coaching team. Additionally, odd-implements like mace and KB training (that goes beyond simple swings) makes Rx stand out against other gyms in the Greater Boston area. The owner is amazing and does a lot of work to raise money and awareness for cancer and other causes. Whether you're training for general health, endurance events, competition or whatever...you don't need to look any further than Rx. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: if you want to get in shape and feel great about yourself, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Rx Strength for a year. The coaching provided teaches you proper form, to make sure that not only do you not injure yourself, but that you are able to continue to improve and exceed what you thought you were capable of.

Fantastic experience: I always worked out at traditional "weights and cardio" type gyms. I come to the RX Strength gym to much less equipment so I didn't know what to expect. The value is in the staff and what they can teach you. I have learned about bare-bones movements that are better than most machines. I have healed my body through mobility. Thanks to the coaches - Hannah, Jeff and Anthony for your investment in me - they go way beyond your typical "personal trainer".

Fantastic experience: Great environment and great coaches. The coaches are knowledgable and motivating. You wont be disappointed. Maybe a little winded and sweaty, but that the name of the game.

Fantastic experience: I went in to RX Fitness with a robust background of mixed martial arts and years of CrossFit and Gym Rat tendencies. I emailed Jeff one afternoon and called me within the day. Talk about great service. The facilities is located in a huge warehouse like place tucked in Somerville. It provides great gym equipment, tons of toys to play with and great coaches to show you how to use them. The coaches are great. They are well knowledged in the arts of fitness. They constantly change things up in their workouts and always work with you in your level of fitness. A second home for me.

Fantastic experience: Rx Strength Training has upped my fitness considerably! Every coach is dedicated to their athletes - helping you reach PRs but making sure proper form is used and no injuries are sustained. Not only is each class unique and inventive, the atmosphere is unlike any I've ever experienced. Every athlete cheers everyone else on, and the amount of PRs that happen because of that.... well it's inspiring. If you like seeing results, try out Rx Strength Training - you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: RX Strength Training is an incredible place. Owner Jeff has created a really great culture here. All levels of experience are welcome and everyone will feel like they belong here. I've been in the fitness industry as a coach for almost 2 decades and I can tell you this place is the, if not one of the best gyms in the greater Boston area. Great coaches and this place makes you feel motivated to do work. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Coach Kenji

Fantastic experience: Excellent Gym with all the equipment you need to get stronger, the trainers are very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Fantastic experience: The boot camps at RXstrenghtraining are always challenging and are a great way to work on your strengths and weaknesses. Each class has strength and conditioning components and every workout is different so your body never gets accustomed to the same routine. If you come and do the work, you will be in better shape. I have seen so many fitness crazes come and go, this is not a fad. The coaches here are committed to helping you get stronger and healthier no matter what fitness level you are starting from. I have seen some amazing transformations in these classes!

Fantastic experience: A welcoming place where you feel like family. Strength and conditioning in a comfortable environment where the coaches go out of their way to invest their time into making sure you are doing things correctly and getting the most out of your experience, no matter your fitness level. I've learned so much, gained confidence in myself, and met some amazing people.

Fantastic experience: Jeff and his staff have been training me for years now and never fail at delivering a challenging workout. I highly recommend their training services for anyone looking for a positive workout environment with knowledgeable and engaging staff.

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Jeff for 7 years, and I cannot recommend him enough. Jeff is very enthusiastic, and brings a passion to training that makes it very enjoyable as well as fruitful. Jeff expertly tailors a program to what you are looking to accomplish, and always keeps up with the latest training innovations. I don't think I have ever seen someone enjoy their job as much as Jeff, and that is reflected in training sessions. He pushes you to achieve, and does so in a very positive manner.

Fantastic experience: If you like to lift this is the gym for you. I did personal training for years and the coaches at the gym provide programming that works just as well at a fraction of the cost. My form improved dramatically when I started lifting with others. It is truly a special group of people. In a few short weeks I felt like I was part of a team. I never thought I'd be training competitively at 48 but the spirit is infectious. Give the gym a try. You won't be sorry.
