Best Gym near Tewksbury, Massachusetts

Way back when I was an athlete at this gym. I had the absolute best experience and joined a family. Once I became an adult and had children of my own I put them in a class to see if they would enjoy this sport. My daughter fell in absolute love and this facility has become her “second home” as she calls it. This place has helped my child grow in so so many ways! Her confidence about herself, her work ethic and sportsmanship has been taught to her here. I couldn’t imagine us at any other place. From the coaches, owners, other athletes etc. this place is somewhere your child can feel a sense of self, happiness and self confidence. We love ECE and look forward to spending the rest of her cheer career here!

My daughter has been at ECE for 5 years. We have had nothing but positive experiences. She has progressed on various elements throughout her time at this gym. The tumble instructors are the best around, and spend time improving their own coaching skills. They are knowledgeable in how to coach and what proper technique and execution of skills are.

I’m so grateful for this gym that has become my daughter’s second home. They’re supportive of all athletes and help them to believe in themselves and be their best. Communication is top notch and they’re the best at what they do- train athletes to have grit, dedication, and confidence. From owners, to coaches, parents, and other athletes they truly are like a second family!

This gym is the BEST thing that ever happened to my daughters and our family. The owners, coaches and families here are AMAZING! A true second home. The level of skills developed, bonds made and unity created is unmatched

We have been fortunate to come to this program. At our first parent informational session, they explain the process of expectations and procedures. Something that always stuck with me was that there is a team that is a good fit for everyone. This has been my experience. We now have a large cheer family here and no matter the team your child is on the level of competition is outstanding. So many wonderful moments and memories made. Thankful to be at a gym that fosters true spirt of athleticism! #proud2beECE

I signed up for the unlimited yoga package in May which is a great deal! It also allows for general use of the gym. Crystal is one of the best yoga teachers I have ever had. So knowledgeable and her demeanor is very calming and comforting. The classes are all levels so don't be shy if if you've never done yoga before! She's great at offering modifications and correcting form which is so important. Highly recommend and the facility is beautiful. Amazing sauna, cold plunge and so much more! Check it out, you won't regret it!

I can't recommend this gym enough! The support from the trainers and the community is incredible, and their morning classes fit perfectly into my schedule, especially since I work overnight shifts on occasions. The knowledge and expertise of the coaching staff are top-notch, and what i've personally experience.. they really focus on helping each member improve. Plus, the sauna and cold plunge are fantastic for recovery after my long 12-hour shifts. If you're looking for a place that prioritizes both fitness and wellness, this is the gym for you!

Amazing gym! Came in as a beginner and never felt judged despite having no experience. Took the Ju Jitsu and Muy Thai classes and definitely felt like the teachers did all in their power to give attention and help equally across all students. Had to cancel my membership due to moving, but they still offer drop in for their classes for a low fee which I’ll take up on when I have free time in the area. With the Ju Jitsu and Muy Thai classes that I took they also offered an excellent gym free of charge that offers a surplus amount of equipment to train with. Also includes showers incase you also don’t live in the area but have the time to train in between appointments or work. Highly recommend if interested.

Evolution bjj is a great place for the entire family. The instructors are super dedicated and are willing to help you achieve your martial arts goals. Bjj, Muay Thai, Boxing and MMA all in one place. Excellent gym. Highly recommended

Has to be the best gym around. The owners (Derek/Jeremy) are brothers and you will see just by talking to them that they don't do this for the money. They love the sport, and they are also very good with kids. The classes are strict enough to teach discipline and respect, but they make sure the kids have fun. My son has been doing BJJ for over a year now here and they have been awesome the entire time on both a professional level and personal. They genuinely want to see these kids succeed and it's great to watch. The coaches are also great and are all genuine people too. Can't recommend this gym enough.

I love coming to this location, it’s my favorite. It’s very clean and the employees are attentive. I love when they say hi and bye to me, it makes me feel welcomed. There’s always someone at the desk and someone always walking around to check on guests, and someone always cleaning. I stopped going due to an injury, but I’m back in the gym and it felt as though I never left. Thank you! 🙏🏽

Ryan, Nate & Grace are very welcoming. They always greet you at the door with a smile. They are very encouraging and super helpful. The gym is neat and clean. The crew in Tewksbury make sure everything is in order, safe and secure. It is the only gym I visit and I feel safe bringing my children here.

Planet fitness is great! Gym is nice, lots of locations and the price is definitely right! Love the access to massage chairs as well.

This facility is very nice and clean. I love the machines and how all the machines are brand new. The only thing that is keeping me from going there on a regular basis is that there is a woman in a wheelchair that goes there just to use the showers and blow dryers. She is very rude and think she owns the place. If she is allowed to go and use the locker room for her personal use only well she needs to go when it isn’t busy. She lays her stuff around everywhere and with only having one changing room is a real problem. Hope something gets done because I know a lot of woman feel the same way.

I absolutely love this one it is very clean and nice equipment. The only issue I have is that there is only one changing stall in the woman’s locker room. With it being such a big and nice gym there really should be more then one. Other then that I love going to this one when I get a chance to.

This is a great gym- truly a one stop shop! They have it all from great equipment, group classes and they even offer wellness/recovery. My personal favorite would be the yoga classes. The staff is always friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend this gym to anyone!

My kids and husband have been going to Evolution for years. This gym is amazing and even better since the move they now have a fitness gym on top of the MMA, so I can workout while the kids are doing MMA. I don't know why anyone would go to another gym that doesn't have it all.

The best gym I have ever been to. It is a life changing experience because not only can you work out, but devote yourself to martial arts with an extremely dedicated crew. Great people and amenities, if you’re up for it, they also have a cold plunge which is great for recovery and mental toughness.

I’ve had such a fantastic experience at this gym! The staff is great and they always make you feel welcome. I enjoy the women’s boxing class and what I love about it, is how they were encouraging and all so motivating. I’m excited to try the yoga classes next! The gym has everything you need-a true one-stop shop for fitness. Highly recommend!!

Evolution is the best gym for the entire family. Besides learning Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai and Boxing you can enjoy of all the amenities of a premium gym while your kids exercise and learn Bjj. The instructors are extremely dedicated to help you and your family achieve your martial arts and fitness goals.

The only thing that makes this place decent is the other members. It doesn't get cleaned. If something needs a battery they just remove it and hide it. Multiple clocks and the scale. If something is broken or you have an issue, you're told that "I can send a text but she (owner) won't do anything about it, I've tried." Well. At least they tried

Cancellation policy is completely deranged. They completely manipulated me as a college student when I was looking for somewhere to go during winter break. I made that extremely clear and the owner said it was fine. Got a tour, told me about a membership they offer that can be canceled at anytime no charge. So i signed it. I ended up being charged for MONTHS when I didn’t even live in the same state. I had to provide documentation that I moved and even then they still didn’t cancel it. You cant talk to to anyone about it who works there and they refer you to a scam company called ABC Fitness. When you try to call them to cancel it’s VERY clear the entire thing is a con. Do not sign anything with this gym, unless you want hundreds of dollars taken out of your account every month.

If I would give zero I would. I never signed up for this gym, have never ever been inside and somehow they got my credit card and won't stop billing me. I plan filing a small claims suit, this is gone on for a while now.

Probably the best gym I've ever been a member with. All the equipment is either new or in amazing condition. The other members are extremely respectful and no one seems to get in each others way. Came in once and never thought about going back to my old gym. Also, special shout-out to Mark (the manager) - I had an issue with my account not properly displaying my full account details that he took care of quickly and courteously. I've been a member of a few gyms in the past and the staff here is top notch - 5 stars all the way around!

Never, ever sign up with this place. My son signed up for 2 months (doing an internship in the area) and when he left, verbally cancelled with the person saying he was all set. In the meantime we've just discovered he's been charged $49 each month (his fault for not checking his account) and when he called to get a refund and ask what happened, has gotten this third party billing who is now saying he owes them money and it takes 60 days to cancel!!! Manager hung up on him when he called to see what was going on and said to never call that number. Reporting them to BBB for deceptive practice. DO NOT GO HERE!!

Place okay. Employees are mostly rude especially the people opening the gym. They open later than time indicated and act as if it's their right. Some employees on the floor are respectful but this place has deteriorated through the years.. With more gyms opening around town, you would think that they would teach their employees better customer service.

Coming from Lifetime Fitness in Burlington I was shocked to see TSC as the “generic brand” of LT. Tewksbury Sports Club has everything Lifetime Fitness offers at a fraction of the price. Physical therapy, tanning, salon & boutique are located on site as well as a dry cleaner. Personal training is offered, a variety of fitness classes and the facility itself is massive with 3 full floors. It’s shockingly clean and organized and staff are always helpful. No spa unfortunately but there are large showers in each locker room. I was paying $285 per month at Lifetime just for the name, this sports club offers me everything I was getting before at a price tag of only $50.

Tewksbury Sports Club is the BEST HEALTH CLUB in the area and has so many options for equipment and classes! Cleanliness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Friendly Staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Equipment. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Affordability. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aerobic Classes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have the Family Membership and we wouldn’t think about going anywhere else!

Soso. Mostly weird vibes. Staff is okay. Equipment is about average. I will not go next time I’m in town looking for a place to workout. My sibling was a member, but in their first month. They cancelled (in person, very important as ‘stated in fine print’ on the contract) before we left the gym that day. Overall poor quality of staff and equipment, even though they “strive for the very best.”

Tewksbury sports club is awesome!! I’ve tried many gyms in the area and nothing compares to this one. The employees are super welcoming and the atmosphere is overall a great vibe. The owner Pat and his daughter Haley are the BEST. Great machines and super clean also. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new gym to feel comfortable in!

I needed a mix up in my workout routine and since I drive by the facility everyday, I opted to give it a try. I started seeing Brian in March 2024 and I've definitely seen results (dropped 2% body fat in the first 2 months). He has shown me how to properly lift weights, explains the muscles I'm hitting, and offers nutritional guidance by reviewing my food log (highly recommend doing). I can say that you don't have to be a gym person like me, cause I've seen all sorts of individuals working out here. You just need to have one goal, to be better 😁. Even when my muscle was overtrained due to me running alot more, he worked with me and provided guidance on how to stretch out my injured muscle. It felt good to still get my workouts in with him in a safe manor while my muscle recovered. I can honestly say, seeing him was one of my best decisions this year. Whether you want to lose weight, tone up, make sure your technique is good, get nutritional guidance check out Evolutions Fitness. You won't be disappointed!!!

I let fitness go during Covid and becoming a full-fledged “senior” last year, I thought I’d never get back. In January ’24, I started training 2x a week with Brian, the owner of Evolutions Fitness*, 1830 Main Street, Tewksbury (*Not to be confused with pretenders at the very similarly named Tewksbury gym operating out of the failed Gold’s Gym location). I showed up faithfully throughout the winter and spring and continue to do so. In six months, I dropped over 30 pounds and three pants sizes and gained muscle. With Brian’s constant support, knowledge and sincerity, I reached my goal for my only daughter’s June ‘24 wedding. I feel great and have muscle tone and the weight of a small child off my back. I no longer get tired or winded doing household tasks or yard work. Training wasn’t the sole solution, but it is a major necessary piece of it. With a scheduled appointment, you just show up and get it done. No excuses. Brian encourages and checks-in on nutrition (i.e. portion control and protein intake) and cardio beyond the training session (i.e. swimming and stationary bike in my case). If I had a weird ache or pain, we’d simply work out around that issue or alternated to an exercise that would resolve the problem until it healed. I weigh in weekly to keep things honest. The Evolutions gym is a private facility, well maintained and very clean. Clients do not share the space with others during a training session. (That means no one is cutting into your set, be it another trainer or local gym rat.) The only other people there is the client that is warming up or cooling down from a previous or next session. The variety of people training here ranges broadly demographically. We come all walks of life, ages, life experiences and backgrounds. Brian is a very professional and genuine person, there is no pretense or assumptions made. The sole thing his clients all have in common is our gratitude for being part of the Evolutions’ community and under Brian’s faithful watch.

I have been working out with Brian for a couple months now and could not be happier. I struggled losing weight after having kids and never knew what to do when working out at the gym. I was extremely insecure and defeated. Brian helped me get back to my pre-baby weight. He continually helps me with meal suggestions and always provides workout ideas for outside of the gym. I went from dreading working out to craving it. Thank you Brian!

I’ve been working out at Evolutions Fitness for a couple of years. I work with Stephan who gears the work out to my particular needs. I’ve gained a lot in strength, balance and coordination, which has helped with my back pain. Stephen is flexible considering that I am in my 70s and has been very helpful with allowing to recapture some of my youth.

I contacted Evolution Fitness when I noticed my stamina was decreasing. Working from home for a few years has led to more sitting and less moving. I started having trouble getting up my stairs and thats when I called. I started working out with Brian, he is amazing. Just when you think you cant do one more of whatever exercise you are you doing you hear him saying "you got this, or give me one more" He is so encouraging. He makes sure you do them properly to avoid injury, and doesnt make you feel bad for something you cant do it or if you need to lower weight. I now can go up my stairs and I definitely feel like I have more stamina. Now I am going to continue to tackle weight loss. I know working out with Brian will benefit that task. He is very knowledgeable and truly likes helping people get fit. If you are even thinking of doing it. Go for it!! You wont be disappointed. He is wonderful at what he does.

My Special needs boys getting personal training with Frank and his staff for almost 2 years. Both boys have shown great progress in posture, flexibility, desensitization in textile sensitivity, and endurance. They are in love with the coaches and the friendly environment! I feel so lucky to find them since there is no gym available that accommodates their special needs at this level!

We went to NDB fitness for a special needs fitness class for our kids. This was truly a wonderful experience. Frank, the coach, has a huge heart, he’s an incredibly nice guy. He’s patient and understanding, he challenges the kids without pushing them too hard. He made it possible in his busy schedule for the kids to get this important training and we are grateful for that. Mark did boxing training and also was great with the kids! There is all kinds of great fitness equipment for kids and adults to enjoy. I highly recommend NDB to anyone looking for a good workout!

Took my first class at NDB Fitness two years ago and couldn’t be happier to have found this gym. Classes are only 30 minutes, yet you get a better workout in those 30 minutes than you do taking hour long classes at other gyms. Frank and his team are awesome - always pushing you to get stronger and reach your goals but also accommodating to any injuries, accommodations needed, etc. Very flexible options for becoming a member and even as a mom of four young kids working full time, I am able to find time to fit classes into my schedule thanks to the various days and times classes are offered. Try a class you won’t regret it!

I don't have enough positive adjectives to describe the Autism Spectrum exercise program. Frank, the owner, was some how able to keep my son engaged and happy while exercising (which he hates)! Thank you, thank you, thank you to the entire NDB team.

I enrolled for an 8 week strength training program working one on one with Frank Barry. It has really worked for me. I am 67 years old and want to stay fit and strong. Losing 10 pounds in 2 months was a secondary benefit. Frank worked me hard but within my range of ability. I would highly recommend him and NDB as a great option for overall fitness.

I have been working with Mark for the past year and a half, and the results have been outstanding. I am completely amazed at the transformation of my energy, my physique, and my health. Highly recommend Mark!! He is so knowledgeable and friendly and teaches boxing in a way that you quickly learn the techniques so that you can get the best out of each session.

We have been taking lessons from Mark at JOC Boxing for several months. Mark is an outstanding boxing instructor, who is very knowledgeable and patient. Taking classes from Mark at JOC Boxing is the BEST decision we have made. We have improved our overall fitness and health goals. Thank you very much, Mark for working with us.

Mark from JOC Boxing is an amazing boxing and fitness instructor. Mark is has spent many years within the fitness industry and he is extremely knowledgeable. I recently started working with Mark and I have been very pleased with my results. I am truly happy that I found Mark from JOC Boxing. Schedule a boxing session with Mark, you will be very happy you did.

I started working with Mark earlier this year. Due to a serious back injury, I wasn't able to do much in the way of physical activity for the last several years. My conditioning lacked and was far from the shape I was once in. I explained my injury to Mark and he assured me he could design a training program that would both challenge me, while still being mindful of my injury history. He did just that! He made me feel very comfortable getting back into a workout routine. I eased into it and with each session, I felt like I was starting to get back to my old self. He is a great instructor. All of his equipment is clean and modern. He takes his time with you. Coming from someone that was well out of shape, he is also extremely patient with you. I couldn't ask for a better trainer! Do yourself a favor and book a session. You won't regret it!!

I started my journey with Mark January 2024. The transformation I have experienced both mentally and physically is more than I could have imagined. Even during the toughest times Mark has kept me focused and goal oriented. He has been my biggest fan throughout this transformation process. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!!

Love this place. It's not a gym it's truly a fitness spa. The staff is great they take the classes too! Nora and Edmund make all there clients feel like family!!!!

Love love love
