Maximos S.Stamford, CT021Mar 4, 2023Overall great gym. Very unassuming and lowkey. Staff and people working out are very friendly. Has every piece of equipment you'd imagine and then some. Old school vibes, which might not suit everyone, but I like it.

Jose D.Chicago, IL376Dec 5, 2022I've done my share of gym's, but this is the first time I felt at home. Laid back yet professional, a lot of options and space so you never feel crowded, latest equipment and some classics, great vibe. And the people are there for you, empathy and responsiveness. My coach was Marcus Smith, you can't do better, focused and invested in your success. Like I said, feels like home.

Sep 18, 2019Previous reviewUsed the free trial offer online and glad I did! This is probably the best gym for bodybuilding/weightlifting anywhere in the city of Boston, at a great price. It feels a little gritty because the equipment is slightly older but, it's all in excellent condition and very clean. It also feels gritty because it has the feel of a true bodybuilding gym, where you might see some huge, shredded men and women training like the die hards they are. But still, very welcoming. Signed up at the rate advertised on Instagram.
Locker room on the smaller side but sufficient, and there are even products like spray deorderant and hair spray for those who may be heading to work after. Towel rental is extra but I don't need a towel.
I love how the weights are separated by body part. Very efficient! They have a wide array of all equipment, including a lot of pieces for legs, including hams, quads, and calves.
I've been a member at all the brands in town now, mostly, BSC, Equinox, the gym f/k/a Sports Club LA, Healthworks, and this is the best for weightlifting. Hands_Down. Very diverse clientele. A handful of classes, I'm looking forward to trying the Zumba and the HIIT classes. I like that some start as late as 7:30 pm!
If you are a smaller man or woman you will notice that some of the equipment is not scaled to your body, but that often would happen with the older weight lifting equipment before updates in design. For example the decline bench press is not adjustable, and unless you have a spotter you're going to be reaching far above your head to lift that weight off of the rack, but, this is not an uncommon occurrence at gyms. But what I do like is that they have some wood planks that you can use to make adjustments in how you fit equipment.
High praise for Mike's Fitness!
Bruno R.Boston, MA11Jul 25, 2021Decent gym overall, with plenty of equipment and space. My issue with them is that the gym can get very hot during the Summer, and they rarely turn the AC on. If that is ok with you, you will likely enjoy the gym. But if you're like me, and you cannot work out in a space that is humid and 75+ degrees, then you will not enjoy it as much.

Paloma M.Philadelphia, PA2614211Aug 16, 2018I loved my time working out at Mike's Fitness. It's a nicely-equipped gym located in a beautiful historic building.
I love the fact that they don't force you into contracts or super expensive "deals". Staff was super friendly and attentive, and the place was always clean. I'm not a big weight lifter so I can't say much about the heavyweights' section but the cardio and "circuit" area was amazing. Treadmills overlooking the beautiful JP through big windows... Doesn't get better than this.
Mike's Fitness is one of the things that makes me miss JP so much.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0- Drew P.Boston, MA03911Feb 12, 2020
I have been trying to setup an appointment for assessment and membership, for the last 4 weeks. They reply to email and then it's silence for days until I check in and then I get a reply, followed by complete silence again.
It's the first time I have come across ghosting from a for-profit company who is actively trying not to get new clients Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Such a cool industrial space!
I got a membership here at a discounted rate through work and it's been one of my best investments this year.
For one, the people who work here are simply awesome. Elevators open and I'm immediately welcomed by a smiling face. They are always happy and it really starts my work-out on positive note. There was a time where I left accidentally left my house-keys in one of the lockers and they actually went through them and found them for me. They also let me in after the elevators were locked and let me get them.
The equipment is all there too. If you want to do strength, cardio, or take classes -- they can definitely accommodate you. Yes, the layout of the rooms can be a little wonky, but I find that it adds to the charm. I've never had a difficult time getting a machine, and they've implemented a thirty-minute time limit for the machines during peak hours. There's also tons of tv's and they play pretty cool workout music. There are other perks that I haven't taken advantage of yet, but I definitely plan to.
Lastly, the area rocks! I love that it's in the same building as so many cool places; it's super convenient to grab a refreshing drink at Ula Cafe after a tough workout.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 
Samantha S.New York, NY197914Jul 1, 2017I was visiting the area and bought a day pass for $15. (Yes, you can get a free workout, but to redeem it you have to have a local ID, which they don't mention until you've already given them all your contact info.) I still had to pay an extra buck to rent a towel.
The space is post-industrial chic, but it's also fragmented, and you might wander around looking for various pieces of equipment or even a place to stretch. Nevertheless, it's very clean, there's tons of cardio machines, and the staffers are friendly and polite.
There are only a couple of squat racks in the weight room, but the place was mostly empty mid-morning, and I had access to everything I needed. The trainers I saw seemed professional and focused.
An excellent choice if you're in the neighborhood. And Cafe Ula's being nearby doesn't hurt.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
