Reviews of Healthworks Cambridge (Gym)

Sunshine Jenna

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!

Predatory, they singed my 83 year old grandmother up when she walked by for a year and forced her to use her bank account versus a credit card. Made her sign a contract without giving her a copy of the contract. Scumbags.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Don't do it. So expensive with hidden fees (hidden fees up to 2 months after you cancel!). Automatic withdrawal from bank so you can't even stop it. Management is AWFUL and not helpful whatsoever. Steam room, sauna, and hot tub are constantly out of commission. The free weight floor is never available, and the entire gym and just packed for most of the normal business hours. Avoid!

Lauren Marshall

Clean facility with amazing staff! I get a warm welcome every time I enter the club and I feel better about myself mentally and physically every time I leave!

Thiery Doricent

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.

Danielle W

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!

Aleksandra Ar

The best sport club ever!

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!
