Best Gyms with 24 Hour Access near Cambridge, Massachusetts

Ive been using the gym at the MIT Zesiger Center, and it’s great. The range of equipment is excellent, from weights to cardio machines, and everything is well-maintained and up-to-date. The space is clean and spacious, but it get a littlr overcrowded during peak hours. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere is motivating and welcoming.

**This review is for the Non-MIT people** I am gonna be selfish here because I am a powerlifter. So, only the heavy weights that attracts me. This gym is good for that purpose. It has pretty much everything. Several benches and squat stations with Eleiko olympic bars (🔥🔥), two deadlift stations with the barbell jack, plenty of machines for the accessories. The Eleiko plates are you seeing, these are not for you folks. You have to be in the athletic team. That something to brag about if you're a MIT student. I got the day pass for $15 which includes the pool area as well. That one is amazing if you're into swimming. Any outsiders with a valid ID can buy the passes. You can find the info on their website.

Sauna is frequently out of service. Management does not prioritize maintenance or communicate well. Update: MIT Rec has improved email communications about amenity closures. Adding some stars.

I was only spectator at the pool for a few days, so it's hard to rate whole complex. Clean facility, parking may be pain during certain times. There is one big mishap in pool design. Wall above/along lane 1 angles at some point & most of the swimmer being not familiar with it had a big problem while swimming backstroke. They would fallow lights line which also curves and that was taking them off to side in many cases during the meet. Kinda unthinkable mistake in designing, which was very surprising no one picked up. Accept that, all sides we were able to visit-very nice&clean, good amount of seating.

A vast sports complex that includes an ice rink, 4 basketball courts, several pools, an indoor track, and squash courts. Family swim lessons for kids are available. A great resource for the surrounding community.
