Best Gym near Brookline, Massachusetts

I recently moved to Boston and started yoga! This studio is so beautiful and clean. Every instructor has been very kind and knowledgeable. I loved the helpful modifications. Looking forward to taking more classes at this location!

We had a great experience here. Danielle greeted me warmly and helped me get situated. I took a hot flow class with Ashley, who was very energetic and had a great sequence. I also took two classes with Jojo. She was calm and focused, with intentional sequences and relaxing playlists. We used so many props - Jojo is a prop expert and a delightful human too 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We left a pair of Yoga Triangles for DUY and will 💯 be back to visit. 10/10 awesome #BostonYoga

I have been coming to Down Under Brookline since 2017, and I love the community I have found here. The yoga teachers have changed my perspective on my practice (special shoutouts to Shawna, Luciana, Masaaki, and Gregor!). I cannot recommend this studio enough!

I had a wonderful early morning class at the Porter Square studio. The heat was the perfect level and the vibes were immaculate. Clean, relaxing, welcoming. I’m definitely coming back!

I recently started doing yoga. As a complete beginner, I feel so fortunate that this was the place that I stumbled in. The community built on down under is incredibly welcoming, friendly, and passionate. The studio is super clean. It has showers, bathrooms, and lockers for your stuff, and there is always someone ready to greet you and answer your questions. They always have events going on, whether its special deals for membership, special classes supporting a broader cause, fun challenges, or they dropped a clothing line!?, and they also have yoga workshops to dive deeper into certain topics. The instructors are the nicest, most talented people I've met. Every time I've taken a class with a new instructor, I leave the studio happy and motivated to come back. And they really take the feedback from their members seriously. I've only been coming here for a couple of months, but I feel like I have been a member for years. They ask through surveys about satisfaction with the state of the studio, the quality, diversity, and availavility of the classes, and you see them changing things to better fit the members. They also have a bunch of different locations around boston, which is very convenient to take a break and dive into your yoga practice wherever you are in the city. There's also an associated wellness center where you can schedule different kinds of massages.

I went there as a guest, and enjoyed the experience, however I wished they would have had a better AC system to control the temperature and heat.

Terrible customer service.. takes them forever to reply to an email asking for clarity on undue and incorrect charges. Been waiting for 11 months and many follow ups later no response. Asked them to clear this and restart my membership, still no response.. I guess they don’t care about business

For the price and location, GymIt cannot be beat. Great trainers and desk personnel. A mix of college students, just graduated and Brookline locals.

TLDR: Paying $800 a month in personal training fees, they abruptly changed the trainer I signed up with and was forced to work with a new trainer. In order to accommodate this change… they wouldn’t even waive my membership fees. For just the duration of the training sessions. 1 month. It’s like 70 dollars. Milking your customers for 70 dollars when you already are getting $800 a month from me is just bad business practice. And 70 dollars is most certainly not worth a bad review. Any logical business owner would understand that. I signed up for an absurdly expensive personal training 3 month commitment with a specific trainer. 2 months into my sessions they changed my trainer. He was the trainer I grew comfortable working with and without much of a heads up I had a new trainer. The new trainer is great, doesn’t change the fact that it’s not who I made the 3 month commitment with. They won’t even waive my membership fees while I’m already paying them $800 a month for training $100 per hour.

Pretty great gym, I’m surprised it’s not busier being across from BU. They have plenty of squat racks and DL platforms along with dumbells that go up past 120. Overall pretty solid for the membership price.
