Best Gym near Worcester, Massachusetts

Picked my son up at Worcester State. He loves it there and is doing great. Teacher's are very helpful and more than willing to help you.

The facility is very nice, it was disappointing that the snack bar was closed during a sporting event. Otherwise a top notch facility

Exceedingly well-run COVID vaccination site. Lots of competent, up-beat staff. No lines. 20 minutes from entry to exit including 15-minute observation period!

Received 1st shot of covid vaccine 3/4 at wellness center. Great set up. Really efficient. You sign up for 2nd shot on line. Could not get into local wifi but people came to you and showed you a workaround. Once you submit it puts you in an online waiting room but that is a software error. You should have already received your confirmation in email. All and all less then 30 min including the 15 min wait after the shot. People were great. See you on the 26th.

Excellent gym. Always clean. The staff is exceptional-- extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They are always helpful with membership and questions, including the student staff who have enthusiasm for the job. I am having a great experience.

This fitness center is a great place to start and continue your fitness journey. As members go you’ll see the full spectrum except for the hardcore bodybuilders and power lifers. Lots of equipment to accommodate lots of members. Clean facility including private showers and friendly staff. Minimal free weights but thats on-brand for the kind of gym it is.

This gym is overcrowded full of disgusting people who could care less about wiping down equipment and picking up after themselves. Many people are there to hang around on their phones while sitting on equipment and not working out. Full of Worcester's finest. It used to be a good neighborhood but not so much anymore.

This is a really great place especially for someone returning to a gym after decades! The Stafford Street Planet Fitness is especially easy to navigate. I highly recommend!

Webster Sq needs to step it up , I go to Maynard sometimes there are mopping the treadmills always cleaning, Webster Sq never see it. They haven't even put out the new equipment yet. Maynard had it ready in 1 day.

Exercise & Nutrition seem to be keys to good health. Today, my visit to Planet Fitness met my exercise needs. Checked in with amiable Brendan & Andy. Hit some of the machines along with the elliptical. Pleased that the multitude of TV's had a diverse menu of selections. Finished, the workout relaxing on one of their massage chairs. Closed my eyes and vicariously revisited a special massage that was bestowed on me by a lovely Jamaican. Hit a lot of spots. May visit Planet Fitness tomorrow -- no problems Mon!

My daughter is currently in her second season with Energy Baseball, this program goes above and beyond by not only focusing on baseball skills but also incorporating weight training, extra lessons, and a community service project into its curriculum. The coaching staff (Edwin Mendez, Rob Brown, Joe Porocelli ) just to name a few are exceptional, providing tailored training sessions that include strength and conditioning, which has significantly improved my daughters performance and confidence on the field. The extra lessons focus on skill development, that have helped her to refine her techniques in a supportive environment. Moreover, the organization lead by Ryan Petrone is top-notch, with clear communication regarding schedules, events, and expectations. It’s evident that he and his team prioritize the players’ development and well-being. Overall, I highly recommend Energy Baseball to any parent looking to provide their child with an enriching and enjoyable baseball experience that prepares their child for success both in sports and in life!

Proud for my son to be a part of Energy Baseball. Great facility and great coaches. Getting to practice for 6 months before games start gives players ability to be locked in and ready to go.

My son asked me to play club ball this year... he was having so much fun in Little League and just wanted to play more, and with better players so we signed up for Energy. I couldn't be happier, the staff is great they help the kids grow and develop and its clear the training program they run through the winter is geared to help get ready. The communication is great, love the opportunities the kids get for clinics, training, etc. My son is so excited to get back on the field this spring and to play in all the Energy games and tournaments. My son is really enjoying the program so far!

I can't speak highly enough about the Energy Baseball Youth Program. My son has been part of this program for the past two years, and the improvement in his skills, confidence, and love for the game has been nothing short of incredible. From the start, Energy Baseball has been all about developing young players in a positive, structured, and fun environment. The coaching staff is experienced, dedicated, and always approachable, ensuring that every child receives the attention and guidance they need to grow. The drills are tailored to help players at every level, and I've seen my son gain more than just baseball skills—he's learned teamwork, discipline, and resilience. What stands out the most is how much my son has excelled since joining. He has grown tremendously both on and off the field, and it's all thanks to the program's holistic approach. The focus on personal development, combined with high-quality training and support, has been a perfect fit for him. If you're looking for a program where your child can thrive, improve their skills, and have a great time doing it, Energy Baseball is the place to be. Highly recommend it to any parents looking for a top-notch youth baseball experience!

We were recommended Energy from a family friend and I cannot say enough great things about the program. In just a few short months we have already seen huge improvements in our son’s confidence as well as skills. The coaches are friendly and welcoming to all the players, and through their ability to focus instruction, are able to push the players to achieve their full potential.

My name is Icemin Lee, and "Yes" that's my real name...👍❗ And like all the reviews I've written...this one will be no different - as I try and help others to make the most informed decisions based on my personal and hopefully non-bias opinion 🙂. I've been a member at Crunch fitness for over 5 months and waited this long in order to get a feel for the gym, it's members and more importantly it's staff...! So, I didn't join the gym to learn how to train, as my experience and knowledge in free weights machine training and as a personal trainer at one time, stretches nearly 20 year's long! I chose Crunch fitness because in my opinion, its one of the most energetic and comprehensively complete gyms currently in circulation. And although, there are countless gym's in which to choose from - Crunch fitness has an environment and equipment array that rivals any large commercial gym in its class bar none 👍❗ The gym has the most accommodating gym schedule, open nearly 365 days a year and barely closes except for a few hours in observance of a major holiday ☃️🎁🎄❗ But trust and believe that the very next day at 0430 AM...Crunch Fitness is doors open and lights on...💪❗ In addition to all the bells and whistles Crunch Fitness has one of many things that other gyms do not and that's "Free Weights"...🙏! Thank the Gods 😅❗ When it comes to building your body and getting results nothing meets these two criteria better or more efficiently than training with free weights 👍❗ And wether your a first timer, a beginner with very little experience or die hard religious gym fanatics...Crunch has the space, the equipment and the atmosphere to help speed you along to achieving your goals❗ And this next part, in my opinion, is probably the most important of all...and that's the Customer Service 👍❗ From our early morning greeting from Customer Service Rep "Ty", to the gyms General Manager "Carlos", who is always available and willing to assist anyone with anything from gym equipment to account issues❗ The entire Team at Crunch Fitness is friendly, cordial and genuinely helpful with getting everyone squared away and ready to have the best day possible while at the gym...👍❗ So what I'm trying to say is that; good customer service is only hard to come by...it's priceless when you can find it 💛❗ In closing, I'm just a normal guy with an extraordinary enthusiasm for always striving to aspire to something greater... And if your reading this...it's my hope that you too will continue to aspire to something greater - and the best place to start that journey is with you ♥️

Crunch Fitness is an excellent gym that truly stands out. The facility offers abundant space, making it easy to work out without feeling crowded. With a wide variety of tools and new equipment, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re into weightlifting, cardio, or functional training. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced gym-goer, Crunch Fitness provides an inviting and well-equipped environment for your fitness journey. Highly recommended!

This has been my main gym for the longest time, always clean and the staff is always so kind. There’s one guy his names Paul who’s always asking how my workout went so the staff is great. Thank you Crunch!

I almost cancelled my membership here a couple years ago due to management and no one being here at 5am when the gym was suppose to be opening… since then, this gym is now under exceptional management. Awesome staff, new, clean & tidy equipment. Spotless bathroom and showers. Well done! I’m back to being an advocate for this crunch location🤘

This gym is very Spacious, Clean and has the most treadmills (~27) and stair masters (8) I have ever seen at a crunch. The variety and abundance of equipment made this an Easy 4 stars review. My only issue was the lack of equipment that targets the legs. Also, this Crunch has the most potential, with a simple redesign a lot of more value could be added. For example, if all the stair masters and treadmills were pushed forward a one or two >75m lanes could be created for sprints.

Have to leave 5 stars. The gym was always clean and the equipment is in good working order. Plenty of weights and cardio equipment so there was rarely a wait for equipment. Plus being 24 hours was a huge bonus for people who work shift work or prefer working out outside of “normal” hours. And as a Bonus the owner Gary seems like a down to earth and overall great guy. Unfortunately I no longer am in the area, but would recommend for someone looking for a solid gym.

By far one of the best Anytime Fitnesses in the area. While it seems small given its location, I have never had an issue waiting for equipment. The equipment variety is phenomenal and rivals many boutique powerlifting/bodybuilding gyms. There are plenty of squat racks and plates. The bathrooms are clean and the staff are friendly. The only flaw I find is that there are limited treadmills when it’s busy and not all of the treadmills have functioning incline. There is a suggestion box and the owner Gary is great and handles problems as soon as they are brought up.

Great gym with quite a few choices of equipment. There are squat racks, Smith machines, free weights, cable equipment and tons of cardio. The Lateral elliptical makes an appearance too. I didn't see a class room so I'm not sure they offer spinning classes or group cardio activities. Two things that stood out for me were the heavy and speed bag plus the climbing rope hanging from the ceiling. Very nice and clean. I'll definitely back back.....ANYTIME!

I enjoyed my experience at this gym. Everything is well organized and clean, Gary was a super cool guy and easy to work with on getting me in as a walk in even on a holiday. Gym has everything you need to get a great workout!

I recently had to bid farewell to Anytime Fitness in Worcester due to a military relocation (PCS) to Ohio, and I feel compelled to share my exceptional experience at this gym. From the moment I stepped into Anytime Fitness Worcester, I was greeted with a warm and supportive environment that made every workout session something to look forward to. The quality of the facilities is top-notch, perfectly maintained, and equipped with everything needed for a comprehensive fitness regimen. It's rare to find a gym where the equipment is always in prime condition, and the cleanliness standards are so rigorously upheld. What truly sets this gym apart, however, is the incredible staff. Their friendly, encouraging, and professional demeanor contributed immensely to my fitness journey. They were always available to offer advice, help perfect my technique, and provide that much-needed motivation. The sense of community they foster is palpable and it’s something that I will sorely miss. The progress I made during my time at Anytime Fitness Worcester is a testament to the high standards they uphold. I achieved significant gains and improvements in my overall fitness, for which I am deeply grateful. As I settle into my new life in Ohio, I find myself missing the unique atmosphere of Anytime Fitness Worcester. It's more than just a gym; it's a community that uplifts and inspires. To anyone in the Worcester area looking for a place to start or continue their fitness journey, I cannot recommend Anytime Fitness Worcester enough. To the entire team: thank you for everything. Your dedication to your members' fitness and well-being does not go unnoticed. I wish you all a very happy and festive Thanksgiving. Keep up the fantastic work!

We recently joined SC in early January and my daughter does not stop begging to go back. I’ll never forget one of her first times leaving, I put her in her car seat and she said to me “mom, thank you for taking me here I love this place” When you hear that come out of a 3 year olds mouth, your heart just melts!!! We are involved in the tiny tiger Rec cheer program and all the staff, especially Miss Amy are SO good with the little ones. They put on the cutest show for the families at the end of the session, certificates were given, and they sure know how to make the little ones feel special and important. We are excited for our many years to come here at SC!!!! Come join us!!!

My daughter has been with Spirit Central for 2 years. She loves attending the practices and classes. The atmosphere is very welcoming and coaches are great. The kids form such a special bond and it is great to watch, especially when they are on stage together.

My daughter has been attending Spirit central for 2yrs now. She has gained so much confidence in her skills, friendships and sportsmanship. SPC is a wonderful place for competitive cheer and flip classes. There are many different classes such as different tumbling, Jumps & Strengths, and Flyer classes. My daughter looks forward to going every week and getting out her energy and seeing her friends. I highly recommend it for anyone that has a child with an interest in cheer or who wants to know how to flip. I also appreciate the flexibility and management of the gym. It’s really great that these athletes have such a positive place to go with amazing coaches/staff.

SC is the third gym that my daughter has cheered for. We have found our home! My daughter's skills have greatly improved, and the team/Family environment is fantastic. I really appreciate how organized SC is and knowing costs, schedules, and expectation from the beginning of the year. Thank you to Paula and her staff!

Such a great gym! Been here for almost 18 years and it continuously improves. Spirit Central goes above and beyond to ensure every athlete has a positive experience with anything they do in the gym, from birthday parties, to tumbling classes, to the cheer teams. It has been a place that has helped me grow as both an athlete and person. Highly recommend!!!!

I signed up almost a month ago and I can honestly say its been a game-changer for my fitness journey. The coaches are top-notch, knowledgeable, and are always willing to help you improve. The facility is clean, well-equipped, and has a good atmosphere. Where you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out, Centermass has something for everyone. I highly recommend giving it a try. You won’t regret it!

I joined Crossfit Centermass recently as part of my effort to improve my fitness. The group workout format helps to keep me on task and I never have to wait for a piece of equipment to open up during a workout. The workouts are well-designed to hit a range of functional movements and the coaches provide feedback on form and keep me motivated as I push myself through the workout. I came in as a beginner with low fitness but have been able to scale movements that are above my abilities. The other attendees have been supportive and we exchange high fives and fist bumps to commend each others’ efforts. I value the gym and its people. A true gem in the Worcester fitness community. Don’t hesitate to give the gym a try!

This is a great place to get fit. I started CrossFit a little older than most people and the coaches did a great job scaling movements for me until I was ready to progress. With their help I am in close to the best shape of my life at 40. The other members are very friendly and welcoming. I recommend this gym to everyone.

I have been going to CFCM for over a year now. My only regret is not joining the gym when I moved to Worcester in 2019. When you take a class here you can expect a professional and knowledgeable coach to run it, a welcoming environment for all members, clean and functional equipment, and a balanced workout from start to finish. If you are thinking about signing up, look no further, as this will be one of the best gyms you have joined.

If you are looking for a supportive community to enhance your workout skills, CenterMass is the place for you. Each coach is well trained, encouraging, and straight up awesome. Each curriculum is well thought out to provide each person a well-rounded workout. This club is welcome to all levels, whether you have been doing CrossFit for your entire life or have never touched a barbell in your life, the coaches ensure that you are properly trained to get the best workout.

This planet fitness is the most spacious in the area that I’ve found. I like that even when it’s busy, I feel like I have room, for the most part. They just got a few new machines, so it’s nice to know they’re always updating. It’s always nice and clean!

They don’t do a good job upkeeping their machines. Only one of the four Ergs was working and its chain was rusted and would sometimes catch on the rod so you couldn’t really pull on it hard. Also went on a treadmill and while I was running, an error code came up and the treadmill suddenly stopped fully. Luckily I caught myself but I could’ve easily tripped and gotten hurt. I will not be returning to this gym.

It’s a great location but they need to keep the equipments and the bathrooms clean

First time at this location. Waited around for a bar pad with no one at the front desk for several minutes. They returned once over the course of a 20 minutes period leaving the desk unattended. Members are not wiping equipment leaving behind SWEAT PUDDLES nor re-racking used weights. I was cringing as a health and exercise professional.

I really enjoyed this every day the people is amazing friendly and the gym is clean very good

This by not the fanciest gym you’re gonna find in the area, however whatever fancy it lacks it makes up for it in body building and fitness equipment. The staff is very friendly and courteous and treat everyone with due respect. The gym is kept clean and the sauna also clean. Bathrooms and shower room is nice and clean too. The gym has so much equipment that there’s no one that can’t make up a killer workout in this gym. The protein bar is better than most fine dining cafes you’ll find and the options are endless. The meat stick options they have, not even Cabella’s will top it. Anyway, if you want to lift weights and get big, this is where you want to come if you’re around Worcester. Btw; the 24 hr gym thing is the cherry in the cake for me.

If you’re looking for a safe, quality place to train, then look no further than Uncaged Fitness in Worcester! This gym is amazing! A 20,000 sq. ft. facility, quality equipment and a great environment. Great service with friendly staff, a super clean comfortable environment for everyone from beginners to professional athletes to train at. There nutrition bar which offers protein shakes, drinks and nutritional products for purchase is always an added benefit! They even have saunas! Plenty of parking and access from all major routes! The owners- Brielle and Cody are the best people, who are very welcoming, honest and always willing to lend a helping hand! Support your local businesses! I have referred friends and even customers from my own business to join! Congratulations!! Highly recommended!!

So glad this gym is now open! Endless space, so much equipment. You won’t feel like crowded when it’s busy. Bathrooms have a sauna which is a plus! Posing room is great for people who are into body building. In a great location and the owners are so welcoming. 10/10 recommend

I went to try their one-day pass for $25 and it’s pretty spacious inside with a couple sections. There’s a ton of equipment that operate on each muscle group and I love that they put the legroom in a more secluded area for people to be comfortable working out. They have a sauna, locker room, protein bar and soon there will be an ice bath. I believe it’s 24 hours, but staff is available from 7 to 7. The owner was really nice to introduce us to the gym. I can sense this gym being more popular as time goes on.

Uncaged Fitness is hands down the best gym I’ve been to! The space is massive, with plenty of room around each piece of equipment, so you never feel cramped. They have tons of machines in perfect condition, including specialty equipment, and there’s always a squat rack or bench press available, which is a huge plus. The machines operate extremely smoothly, making every workout enjoyable and efficient. I also love how everything is black— there are no distracting colors and there is natural sunlight coming in the windows (some gyms are super dark). Highly recommend for anyone serious about their fitness journey!

The young girl in front was so mean and rude. I came in with my family for swimming day on August 13 at around 6:15pm. I came to her asking how to cancel my swim lessons and she is immediately gave me an attitude. The whole conversation she was so rude and disrespectful, to be honest i really dont know what did i do wrong to be treated like this ? Why is she so rude? She making me feel so uncomfortable and not welcome. The owner please watch the footage you will understand. For someone who is work at the front desk and deal with customers this behavior of her really unacceptable and no wonder why you losing customers . I AM NOT AMIRI !!!!

If you are joining this gym for the sauna, don’t bother. It’s constantly down. And when it is working it is little more than a warm room. They need to turn the temperature up.

This is the first month attending the Greendale branch. We love the pool as it is very convenient for the kids. Today, I visited the kid gym and i was very sad to see very damaged and old floor foam carpets , gymnastic equipment and toys , etc. Its very important for children to exercise specially in states with very cold winters. Kids deserve a nice place to enjoy. I have been in other countries and kids areas are new, clean and innovative. I undestand that it may be a matter of funding but even parents can volunteer to participate in cleaning and restorations campains or fundraising. We could also donate toys ,etc. I am sure management is doing their best, I hope they have in mind this problem.

Come to the fitness center, there’s nothing duct tape can’t fix!

I cannot say enough about the Greendale YMCA and their staff that I have, throughout the years, had the pleasure of interacting with and trusting with not just my health as a two-time triple negative breast cancer survivor, but my overall well-being as a person. They continue to maintain a safe, inclusive, and comfortable environment for everyone, and have, even if unbeknownst to them, given me the faith to believe the world is changing, and in the right direction. It is hard to stand up for what you believe in and for yourself in general, but the Y and the pillars of strength that are the wellness staff, that make this place what it is — not only, but especially Jill, John, Heather and Geoff — that ensure accountability, uphold the policies that necessitate a safe environment, work tirelessly to support their members and ensure they are heard and validated, has changed not only the world at large, but my own, and thus, my outlook upon it. I love you guys.

After trying group swimming lessons at various places over the years, I can confidently say that after just TWO sessions with Marena, my daughter is more comfortable in the water than she has ever been! Highly recommend!

The variety and quality of classes at Worcester Fitness are outstanding, with options like yoga, spinning, strength training, and HIIT that keep me engaged and challenged. The instructors are phenomenal—knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely invested in our progress. The staff's friendliness and welcoming nature create a supportive and comfortable environment from the moment you walk in. Being part of this local gym has been incredibly rewarding, not just for the physical improvements but also for the sense of community. If you're looking for a place to help you reach your fitness goals in a friendly and motivating atmosphere, Worcester Fitness is the perfect choice!

As a slightly biased employee, Worcester Fitness has been my family and second home for the last 17 years. I am grateful to come to work each day and collaborate with staff and members to continue to offer what makes us so special! Worcester Fitness offers something for all of your fitness needs. Our customer service team is hands down the best in the area. My children have grown up here partaking in the Swim Academy, Flyers Swim Team, and many vacation club programs. If you are looking for a gym where cleanliness, customer service, upkeep of equipment, and a top notch team ready to invest in your health journey with you, this is the gym for you!

I love Worcester Fitness. They offer a variety of classes and equipment, and keep things in good repair. Their locker rooms have always been clean, but they have been recently updated so now they are beautiful too. Staff greet you by name and are always smiling. Their personal trainers are well educated and kind. I’ve been a member for over ten years and am looking forward to many more!

Great gym! Very clean and not overcrowded. I’ve been to other gyms in Worcester that are too crowded. I actually get a great workout in because I’m never waiting for equipment. Easy in and out because the gym is guaranteed not to be too congested. One aspect that I hope management would review…They used to have childcare, I wish they would bring that back. The YMCA has a nice program where parents can drop off kids while parents workout. There does seem to be a good amount of kids with their parents. I guarantee the program would be a success. Crossing my fingers for the future.

Pure Barre Worcester is an incredible studio that checks all of the boxes! The class formats are each fantastic and are varied enough that you can really customize your workouts each week. Whether you’re looking for cardio, strength, balance and flexibility, or a bit of everything, PB has it! What truly made PB Worcester stand out for me are the instructors. All are fantastic, and offer expert hands-on corrections (so long as you want that!) to perfect your form and keep you safe from injury. The encouragement and community built by these incredible instructors and manager, Jennifer, are second to none. I have never looked forward to working out more, and have never felt so strong and proud of my body. Try a free class— you won’t regret it!!

I have been going to Pure Barre Worcester since they opened 2 years ago and couldn’t be happier! The instructors are energizing and inspirational. They constantly are challenging me to push myself and find my best form. I love all three different formats the studio offers and find that the variety keeps me on track with my fitness goals. Highly recommend!

Pure Barre is truly one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I started going with one of my best fiends just over a year ago. Since then I have attended over 260 classes. The instructors are so motivating, encouraging and fun. Without them I honestly wouldn’t continue my classes. I have met a bunch of nice people throughout the year. It truly is a family. I look forward to attending class and miss it on days I can’t go. I feel so much better about myself and couldn’t have done it without my best friend and my Pure Barre family.

Pure Barre Woo is an amazing place not to only get a great workout in, but meet passionate teachers and others at the barre who want to better themselves physically and mentally. It’s a very supportive community where classes will give you that extra little motivation you need to crush the workout and then the rest of the day!

I love pure barre Worcester! The classes are so fun and challenging and all the instructors/employees are super sweet. They also sell cute clothes.
