Total Performance Sports

Fantastic experience: best gym in boston. free week pass for new people, $10 day pass for open gym sessions. open from early until 10 pm. this gym has tires to flip, olympic lifting, heavy kettlebells of all sizes, battle ropes, sleds to push and pull, med balls to throw, and more.

Fantastic experience: Lots of toys to play with. Serious clientele, skilled staff and coaches

Fantastic experience: I travel from Newton and pass a dozen gyms on the way to go to TPS, as does my husband and a number of my friends. Great equipment, knowledgeable staff, great workshops and training days.... well worth the commute!

Fantastic experience: All the reviews below (that are 5 star) are all the same as i would have written, but i'd like to add a little bit extra. The gym is definitely a zero frills gym. 100% zero. A lot of the people that go there are extremely serious as their physique show. They play hard rock a lot making it seem quite macho. DON'T LET THIS SCARE YOU AWAY!!! I'm new to working out and i've loved every visit. Everyone in this gym has been extremely helpful. The staff is VERY helpful. They are patient and professional. I'm not sure how this gym manages to select such great staff, but keep it up! In terms of the environment, which may scare some people away, don't let it! The guys are all very helpful. If someone isn't training hard and i ask questions they are very open to helping out. The nice thing about the people that go there is that people don't stare at all. I'm pretty small and i've notice zero staring. everyone respects where everyone starts, which is really critical to new people like me. The music can be a bit intimidating at first, but honestly i've gotten used to it and even like it now! It helps to get my energy up. Also, a lot of people in the gym seem to know each other which really adds to the community feel. Some of the staff seem to know the names of some people and not just the guys who are bodybuilding/Olympic weight lifting, but people who are new to the life like me. It really gives a lot of comfort. To give an example when i signed up for the gym the front desk manager offered up personal training (in a VERY non-pushy way... just letting me know it was available) i signed up. Well the next time i came in a few days later she asked if I've been called yet and i wasn't. turns out i was emailed promptly not called, but it was really great of her to remember and just adds to the community feel. Honestly this gym is hands down the best gym i've ever been to. Can't say enough about this place!

Fantastic experience: Came in from out of town and visited TPS today. Admittedly based on short experience but this is a great facility for those who want a variety of lifting and cardio options. One of the best fitness centers I have visited and I wish we had one in Kansas City. Very friendly, helpful and professional staff! Thank you TPS for having a great facility and making me feel welcome.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Boston, it needs repeating. I've never felt so clear-headed and ready to push myself that in this gym.. The set up inside is designed for one purpose; getting strong. My only regret is not signing up sooner.

Fantastic experience: Direct results

Fantastic experience: What can I say but AMAZING SUPER FANTASTIC WONDERFUL!! The atmosphere here is wow words can't describe. This place changed my life!!!

Fantastic experience: Top notch power lifting gym and coaching

Fantastic experience: I had to be in Boston for a few months and I definitely enjoyed this gym for the time I was there. Would definitely recommend if you are into power-lifting!

Fantastic experience: I started training here in June and it has changed my life. I joined the TPS Method class, which allows you to follow a program created and developed in TPS, with in-person group coaching. I never trained with weights before and did not know much about how to do anything but the NMO (new member orientation) was great to have. For the first couple of weeks the coach guided me through the warm up and patiently showed/taught me the main three movements (squat, overhead press and deadlift) along with other supplementary exercises. During class the coach observes your set up, form and movement individually and gives you comments on how to improve. Something I really love is having to keep a journal of my training days, which is encouraged by the coaches and necessary to track progress and other things. They also send monthly emails with a calendar for conditioning. You can schedule your classes through the TPS app to your convenience. The training groups have been reduced to comply with COVID-19 Safety protocols. For people intrested on just a regular membership, the gym is just gret. Come see some stroooong people lift!

Fantastic experience: To Phil.

Fantastic experience: I really like going to this gym, it’s the best part of my life. A wide variety of weightlifting equipment in the main gym and very good personal training (optional). Theres a good vibe since it’s not a typical gym - everyone there is focused and working hard. The only con is that it sometimes plays Irish jig music.

Fantastic experience: This was one of the coolest gyms I have ever seen in my entire life and I have seen a bunch. As a strongman competitor just weeks out from a major contest, I was worried about finding a gym at which to train while traveling away from home. TPS not only met the level of my normal training facility back in GA but may have even exceeded it. I have never seen a facility with so much equipment. 100% worth the price of admission and braving the Boston traffic to get back in town for my conference. I will be stopping by every time my travels bring me through these parts. Friendly + helpful staff and members as well.

Fantastic experience: True training facility with grit and character. Made for athletes. Largely free weights, everything needed to get swole and strong! They offer great personal training and classes for beginners to advanced athletes. They have had the same staff for years all great at what they do. Highly recommended to anyone trying to get started or attain their goals this is the place to do it.

Fantastic experience: Hi, Im looking for a descent gym to powerlift and train my athletic capabilities such as my vertical jump and im looking for honest and open feedback. How crowded is the gym usually and how long will it take to find a powerack? Is it more crowded in the morning or evening and nights? and also do you guys offer other equipment such as soft plyometric boxes? for people like me trying to improve my vertical and do plyometric training? Do you guys also have designated places to do more olympic style lifts such as deadlifts and cleans and snatches? or is it strictly a powerlifting gym focusing on squat and bench. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Total Performance Sports is a powerlifter’s paradise. From every piece of equipment you could ever want (+ way more), to the highest quality coaching, there is nothing left to be desired at TPS. Open gym membership is a great opportunity for those who feel competent in their abilities to train in an ideal environment that supports all your fitness needs and training styles. For those who need instruction from a knowledgable coach, or simply need the accountability of having a coach in your corner - this is the place to be. These coaches work hard but effortlessly to ensure you progress toward your fitness goals, while limiting any chance of injury. I workout in the open gym and do one-on-one training. Even as somebody with extensive education in everything fitness related, there isn’t a day that my coach at TPS has not taught me new things that I can implement into my training to more efficient and effective in progressing toward my goals. The attention to detail is so necessary for anybody trying to perform at their highest level. I definitely recommend this gym to powerlifters looking to compete and optimize their lifts, as well as active adults who are looking to get hyper-focused on progressing their fitness goals and overall physical capacity.

Fantastic experience: I'm really happy with this gym, it has a great atmosphere with really serious lifters but among questions is never discouraged. The coaches are knowledgeable and friendly. I like that it has lots of strongman equipment in addition to powerlifting racks. Would recommend for anyone in the strength training world.

Fantastic experience: I go here about 4-5 days a week and i can strongly say that they have a very clean gym, the equipments are well taken care of, i love the gym environment and they really take lifting seriously. I appreciate how they honor the military by hanging up the flags. They have great customer service and well knowledgeable trainers. I became extremely strong working out at this gym and i can say that my physical appearance changed dramatically the first few weeks i worked out here. There's no better gym than this! I love it

Fantastic experience: You want a solid workout, good sweat and that adrenaline rush at a gym. This is the place. Def MY gym!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for a year, and I've had experience with personal training, group classes, and coming here on my own to work out. I previously went to various commercial gyms that were run like businesses, this is much better in terms of people, feel, and facilities.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Cool gym! There are more than enough exercise machines and they are in excellent condition. I have never seen that the hall was full, this is especially important at a time like this. My rating is 5 out of 5.

Fantastic experience: I have been going for about 6 months and doing the Semi personal training sessions. Personally, I am very satisfied with my experience thus far. The coaches are not only knowledgeable and helpful, but personable as well. Starting as a complete beginner to weight lifting, I feel that I made a great choice in coming TPS. It’s never been easier for me to workout and I am happy with my progress. I pick a session and show up, they do all the rest. In terms of Covid safety, I feel safe when I workout at TPS. Masks are required, distancing is easy, and they disinfect often. I also feel confident that if I were to bring up concerns about safety, the staff would do their best to address it.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. The focus is more on weight lifting so it doesn't have a lot of treadmills if you're expecting that. The staff and the members are amazing as well!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I've been going to Total Performance Sports for over a year, taking their powerlifting class. The instructors are great, with deep knowledge and a very individualized approach. The focus on safe and thorough training is incredible. I'm very happy to be working with them!

Fantastic experience: Total Performance Sports is my home away from home. I am blessed to have access to such an amazing gym that is only a 5 minute walk from my apartment. The trainers are welcoming, accessible, patient, and very knowledgeable. If Total Performance Sports didn't exist my quality of life would certainly be impacted in a negative way. The fact that the gym is open everyday from early in the morning and closes at night is really great because I have different options to choose from when I make my weekly schedule. I often come here after a long day of work/studying and it has been beneficial to both my mental and physical health. Remember that physical health is mental health too! I am glad that I found Total Performance Sports.

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best!! I learned every proper technique I needed to know from the coaches here. I learned how to get stronger and tried new things I never knew my body could do. The coaches, the gym members and the equipment is what makes this gym so stellar. If you need spotters you can ask anyone here and they'll spot you. If you need help learning how to use equipment you can ask any available coach to assist you. I've made friends here, I gained training partners and started powerlifting competitions with those same people. It's been an amazing ride and I can't wait to see where it takes my body. TPS shows you if you put in the work you'll get the results. Also there's a wealth of knowledge on recovery which many gyms pay no attention to. This gym has made me more aware of how I move and what I do, I couldn't ask for more but I always get more from this amazing team of coaches and staff.

Fantastic experience: The ideal powerlifting gym. Heart broken that I’m moving and need to find a new inferior gym. If you’re a beginner this gym may seem a bit intimidating but I assure you everyone in that gym is a good person and would be more than happy to spot you or give you any pointers if you ask. What I’m trying to say is.... join this gym

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out at one of the only true gyms around.️‍♂️

Fantastic experience: cornelius

Fantastic experience: I liked this place and the staff is welcoming and friendly. I used to go to this gym. What i like about this place is the staff and the gym members would help you out with a workout if needed and they would check with you sometimes if you had questions about it. Overall this place is nice.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching really gets detailed on your technique, especially candace I’ve honestly been more consistent since being on the women’s powerlifting team here, I’ve grown and learn to not just do it for me but my team and we push each other... besides the music (lol) there’s a strong range of discipline and excitement when I come in there after my 3rd gym I’m glad I was introduced to TPS. I’ve grown as an athlete and competitor.!

Fantastic experience: Awesome spot to pursue powerlifting, strongman, and strength training. No frills, no mirrors, no machines. There are no smarmy douches flexing or trying to hook up, making it a welcoming spot for anyone serious about putting in the work. Membership is affordable because it’s not about having gleaming equipment and rows of expensive cardio or isolation machines. But if you’re looking to use some free weights and a squat rack or you wanna flip some tires while listening to 80s metal, this is the place.

Fantastic experience: Been training here for over a year doing TPS Method and am stronger than I've ever been and more conditioned than ever. The staff are top notch, extremely knowledgeable, and are very supportive. Murph runs the best gym I've ever been to.

Fantastic experience: It's a great facility. For myself, I have found getting a beginner's exercise DVD (any kind) and exercising in my living room, is more realistic than being a weekend warrior and going to a gym and doing high intensity varying types of exercises and then going back to doing nothing for a long time. I question the wisdom of encouraging people who don't exercise to jump into what is high intensity exercises for them.

Fantastic experience: This place is incredible and the staff is AMAZING!! Very professional!!

Fantastic experience: Top of the line gym. All the weightlifting, strongman, and powerlifting equipment you would ever need. Welcoming environment, staff is great. Leave your ego at the door, lift, be nice.

Fantastic experience: A gym full of top notch equipment, and people who all encourage one another to hit PR's, just a really positive environment and highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: The best gym with an incredible staff. They're passionate about getting you to reach your goals and break personal records safely . You'd be cheating yourself if you didn't at least see what they have to offer.

Fantastic experience: Get out of the big box . And come to a real training facility.

Fantastic experience: This is the best strength training, strongman and personal training facility in greater Boston. The equipment is great, friendly and knowledgeable trainers and members take their training seriously.

Fantastic experience: Great training environment for serious strength athletes. Vastly different from commercial type gyms and even other independent gyms; everyone here trains with focus and intensity which creates a great environment for heavy lifting. Enough equipment to cater to strongman, olympic lifting and powerlifting. Lots of different bars, implements, chalk, and benches. Staff has gone above and beyond to help on multiple occasions. Plenty of parking.

Fantastic experience: Great Powerlifting, Olympic Lifting and Strongman gym. They have it all!

Fantastic experience: thank you Cj mray

Fantastic experience: After spending time at many of the gyms in the area, I ended up going with Total Performance Sports. Their facility is unmatched - the equipment for compound movements is top-notch. With equipment like the Buffalo bar and safety squat bar in addition to the straight bar, training is more effective than other gyms. They dont clutter the area with resistance machines, instead opting for more benches, platforms, and power racks. Additionally, the training they offer is unlike anything else in the Greater Boston area. If you want to learn how to be a more effective barbell athlete, this gym is not AN option--it's the only option.

Fantastic experience: The best gym I've ever been in. This is NOT like other meathead bro gyms where you have people curling in the squat rack or flexxing in the mirrors. Its more like a club, where coaches and fellow patrons are part of a friendly community. Everyone (coaches, staff, and patrons) is courteous, respectful, helpful, and encouraging. Everyone re-racks weights and no one plays with their phones (except for training purposes!). Everyone in the gym is laser-focused on training without intimidating the novices. They offer some free classes on a regular basis, and a variety of coaching options in classes, clinics, and solo or group personal training. I have taken advantage of a few of their clinics and found them to be very informative and helpful in my training. I have worked with almost every coach in the gym at least once, and they are all great at what they do. Highest recommendation, I could never imagine going back to a chain franchise gym after joining TPS.

Fantastic experience: After being a member for a few months and attending a two of their monthly training days I have nothing but positive things to say about the gym, the other members, the staff, and the overall culture of the place. Coaches are extremely knowledgeable and ready to help you meet your strength training goals. Learned more from my few months in this gym than years at chain gyms.

Fantastic experience: Today was my very first day in this facility. I got the 7 day free trial and boy this was a really good experience. Hands down the best gym in the Boston area, it has all these cool powerlifting equipment that I am excited to start using. Once my 7 day trial is up I'm going to sign up immediately.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a friendly community, this is you place. This is by far the best gym in Boston They have a one week of trial come and see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: what a pleasant experience. would recommend this gym to my friends in everett even tho i live in california. go get em seabass
