Best Gyms with Free Parking near Cambridge, Massachusetts

I took Linnea's C2 class and it was a delight! She is really great for people returning to yoga after a hiatus. She gives calm, clear, and helpful tips for improving control in challenging poses. I like her vibe! She has a good mix of chill instrumentals during the flow, and upbeat music during the ab workout. Big fan! will attend her classes again!

Excellent instructors/guides, each with different but high quality styles! Excellent variety of classes offered from beginner to advanced to aerobic style yoga. The workouts are as challenging as you make them for yourself, and there is NO JUDGEMENT HERE! You are encouraged to listen to your body and respond to what it needs. I have been going for months and think I have been in classes with at least 10 different instructors - every single one was personable, encouraging, non-judgemental and welcoming. I love it here!

Such a great studio. The facility is modern and clean. All the instructors are so friendly. I love coming here for classes! I personally take the sculpt classes, which I find to be a great mix of yoga, strength and cardio. It's always challenging, refreshing and fun too. If you're looking for something that will keep your mind clear and body in great shape, this is a great place!

I had an amazing experience attending the largest Corepower Yoga Studio in the nation. Widya's C2 Class was very inspirational. I found gratitude throughout the sequence and in every posture and flow. I was constantly reminded to appreciate what I could do and to continue to challenge myself. The next day my body was tender and tired and still I wanted more so I attended Larissa's Sculpt class. Her energetic cadence filled the studio as she counted down the reps. Larissa pushed my endurance levels with a full body experience. Widya and Larissa left a lasting experience of wanting to sweat more and I cant wait to return to this studio. I'm filled with gratitude with Corepower Freshpond Studio.

Really bad experience, I was disappointed with the service. I was really interested in the CorePower yoga. I came to the fresh pond site. I tried to ask question in front desk. The reception refused answer all the questions and just told me everything is online. Ignore and helps people who is after me. Yes.I know everything is online but I really needs more information this why came to visit. Just ignore me and taking care other people. Thank you CorePower Really disappointed.

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.

I really really love this gym. I look forward to going every single time. The workout area is pretty spacious (during peak time it can get crowded but it’s never been an issue for me) and the equipment is really nice! The spa amenities are my absolute favorite. Getting to end my workout with the steam room & sauna has been a treat and helpful to my mental health. I would definitely recommend shower shoes or rubber shoes to walk around in! Although the spa and locker room areas are consistently cleaned, there’s lots of hair on the floor in the spa area and without shoes I don’t think I would use it. Other than that, I truly truly recommend this gym to anyone in the area!

In theory HealthWorks in Cambridge is great: great classes, spa area, and clean facility. But for the last 2-3 months it has been a complete zoo: you can't nab a spot in a class, or the sauna many times between 4-7 PM on a weekday. For the price one pays, this is pretty unacceptable. Part of the problem is the gym closes early--at least by city standards--9 PM most days and 8 on Sat and Sunday. I had asked whether they would consider staying open one hour later, which could alleviate things. And they won't. I can't really recommend this gym if you could only go after work.

I visited HealthWorks in Cambridge because I am interested in finding a gym while I'm in the area. I was able to schedule a tour pretty easily and the front desk was accommodating when I needed to switch my time. This is my review from attending the club during one visit. LOCATION The location is pretty accessible by train and there is parking at the Porter Square parking lot. CLEANLINESS When considering a gym, the cleanliness is of high priority to me. The facility was relatively clean and they had places to use wipes in different locations on the floor. EQUIPMENT The equipment is pretty updated. I went in the middle of the day and there was plenty of equipment available for use. PRICE The price is on par with other health clubs of similar status? I have paid more for gyms but this certainly isn't cheap even with my corporate discount. I could see how you can get a lot of value because they have different classes and is someone that takes many group classes, it's nice to see that they have a number of classes to choose from. I like that you can choose to forgo a contract because I'm not able to lock into a year-long contract at this time. I will say the locker room has a lot of different things that you would need to get ready such as blow dryer, flat iron, feminine hygiene products Q-tips. The showers are standard not very spacious and they have soap or body wash shampoo and conditioner. The lotion isn't the best quality. Despite slathering plenty on my skin, I was was dry soon after. My main gripe was that the bathroom or changing area definitely smell like corn chips. I haven't decided if I'd become a member yet but this is a pretty solid health club.

I trade off between the Cambridge and Coolidge Corner locations because while the CC workout area is more spacious and generally easier to workout in, Cambridge has really great amenities, skilled massage therapists, and a nice yoga studio. While some of the yoga 1 classes I’ve taken can feel more like restorative yoga, I really enjoy the heated yoga 2 classes; I just wish they offered more times throughout the week (some in the morning or early evening) as the current class offerings are pretty limited.

I felt very comfortable working out at this gym. However, one thing I didn't like was that in order to cancel my membership I had to prove and send personal documents about why I was canceling. Also, could have more things included in the membership such classes and more gym equipment for the price we need to pay there.
