Best Gyms with Free Wi Fi near Framingham, Massachusetts

I recently had the unfortunate experience of joining Lifetime Fitness, and it has been quite disappointing. One of the first issues I encountered was the unexpected price hikes; it seems like every few months, the membership fees are increased without any tangible improvements in services or facilities. Cleanliness is a basic expectation for any gym, yet Lifetime Fitness falls short in this department. The locker rooms and showers are often unkempt, with litter and unpleasant odors being common occurrences. Another major downside is the attitude of the staff. On several occasions, I’ve encountered rude and unhelpful employees who seem more interested in chatting among themselves than assisting members. The amenities, which are a significant reason for choosing a gym, are frequently closed for "maintenance." This has become more of a norm than an exception. If the amenities are consistently unavailable, members should be entitled to a refund or some form of compensation. Lastly, the gym is consistently overcrowded. Finding an available machine or space for a workout can be a challenge at any time of day. Between the constant price increases, lack of cleanliness, unfriendly staff, unavailable amenities, and overcrowding, it’s hard to justify continuing a membership here. I hope the management takes these concerns seriously and makes improvements for the benefit of all members. Until then, I would advise potential members to consider other options.

I’m a member of Lifetime living in Miami and came here while traveling. There are a few impressive aspects of this location like the full basketball and squash courts, lap pools etc that I’m not used to. However, one thing that completely shocked me was the sauna. That’s usually one of my favorite parts of my day and workout wind down, but this was not a relaxing or enjoyable environment. In my home studio, it is tranquil, dark, quiet, and respectful: many people are there to relax. Here all of the lights are on (?) it is a bit dirty-seeming, and EVERYONE was talking, at a normal outside voice volume! It may just be me, but that is enough for me to not want to join a studio. Thankful to be back in my home studio in the quiet dark sauna while writing this 😅

Came in for a tour. The level of disinterest in customer service or appreciation was very telling to the quality of the experience one would have here. The feeling is definitely that they are so big that a member is just a number. Not what I would expect for a club calling itself luxury in name and price.

Life Time fitness center is a great place for all ages There are 3 floors with new equipment and lots of amenities. They also have a Life Spa with stylists, barbers, nail technicians, estheticians and massage therapists. Large parking lot. Saturday was not busy when I went, especially in the afternoon.

This gym used to be awesome and tailored for people actually interested in fitness. Now all Lifetime wants to do is become a pickleball senior citizen center. They're removing all basketball courts at this location, leave weightlifting equipment broken for extended periods of time, and the locker rooms at this one are frequently dirty with overflowing towel bins. On top of that, the staff is extremely rude, and doesn't care about your experience. Complete waste of money for what you pay. Bring back 2019 Lifetime. There are already 500 people that have signed this petition. The new GM at Lifetime clearly has an agenda based of forcing out members that he doesn't want there.

Members be aware: they don’t “value” you as a member just ur money!! Mind you I have been a member for over 5 years now and just requested my membership to be canceled based on the response of the manager Arlete Wilson . So I enrolled my teen to a class and the week leading to it he asked me that he wasn’t comfortable doing the class. So I reached out to get either a refund or a credit towards my account for a different class since I have 3 other children who enroll on a consistent basis. The person running this class responded by saying she won’t give neither a refund or credit as I didn’t have a valid reason to do so and perhaps I have make my child come to the class.. So I reached out to the manager in hopes of getting more assistance but no the answer was the same! Without any basis or reasoning just not even a credit on my account-so I said ok u can cancel My membership which she gladly accepted! Now if she was trying to keep a member happy I am sure she could have provided a credit to my account and if she really didnt want to loose a member she would Have tried to find other ways to resolve the matter at hand. To prove my point they don’t care about you they care about the money so much so that they actually lost more Money just to keep a class fee paid! Terrible terrible!

I’ve been a member of MetroWest YMCA for two years. Here is my honest opinion. I. Everyone is on their phones, either texting or scrolling constantly. Everyone is wired with headphones or ear buds, so everyone is in their own time and space. It’s a gathering placing for groups of high schools kids who don’t know shit, about how to properly use the gym equipment safely. They just congregate with their buddies and shoot the shit! Everyone has a ego, pushing heavy weight without using proper form. The primary. lifting is pumping up the triceps and biceps. The equipment is sub-standard with limited adjustments - Outdated. Very limited pro equipment. I still go three days a week. I get a good monthly membership and it’s close to where I live. I’m seventy-seven years old. I’ve been to different YMCA’s and pro gyms in various states since the age of fifteen. In the 1960’s it was body building and in the 1970’s powerlifting. Today, I’m able to work out, to stay strong. I have physical impairments that limit my range of motion, but I do what I can. Thanks

Biased. Great facility, very unfortunately for our family the pool schedule is biased. We joined to have an opportunity to cool off and exercise in the pool. It is so hard to find things to do with the kids that are cool in this summer heat. Some days there is family swim at 7 (when kids are not out) and other days there is NO swim time. All I am asking is for one lap lane block, for instance 12:05, to be committed to serving the families in this area. It is important to serve the entire community❤️.

I went there to try the gym out and they gave me a guest pass, I started using the gym and I was told I had to leave the gym bc I was wearing flip flops. I told the lady it was my first time that I had no way of knowing there was a closed toe shoes policy but she said she didn’t care and said I had to leave or put shoes on. Horrible customer service and not how you treat a new member who’s is trying out your gym

I was going here with my step father who is a member! I am also his PCA and I work for him! I have a fitness background and know what I am doing I was teach his some exercises so he can do because he needed some coaching mind you the prices for training at this gym are outrageous! Anyways I was teaching him some things to do at the gym besides a treadmill and was approached by a trainer who discriminated against my step fathers age and stated that I am not a trainer and that the exercise that I was having him do are not for his age group! Mind you she has no idea what his capabilities are! She stated that it was body building exercise! Which we were doing low weight low reps low sets!!! Them she had the audacity to say however if you are willing to join the trainers team we are will to hire you!! 🤣🤣🤣 what a joke The gym it self is so small barely enough equipment! And the bathrooms are so dirty and dingy! I tried to take a shower in the locker room and there were dead flies on the walls! The sauna only fits like 4 or 5 people and small! It honestly smells moldy! I was so confused with why you need a code to go into the locker rooms for adults but not the children’s! And also was confused at this because it feels like a daycare with so many children around and not an actual gym! It honestly felt like I was at Suburban Athletics Club but at least they closed their gym and focused solely on the childcare part! That is what the YMCA should do separate both the kids daycare/preschool to another building and expand their gym and have a better maintained facility!!! Anyways we will be canceling my dads membership tomorrow and switching to a much better gym down the street that doesn’t discriminate against age!!!

The Alpine Gym is fantastic. It's so well-equipped; the staff is smart and friendly; and the vibe is supportive and enthusiastic. My overall fitness and strength continues to improve. The individual attention is incredibly motivating. I work the rest of my schedule around my personal training. I also love the infrared yoga studio. I've never felt more empowered in my yoga practice or more centered when I leave. The teachers and the community are so welcoming. The heat varies by class and is the best I've ever experienced.

I’ve been so impressed with The Alpine Gym. I heard from Adham, the owner, as soon as I submitted an inquiry to get more information about membership options and I’ve been so impressed with him and his staff every step of the way since. The classes are small and offer great variety. The instructors truly love their jobs and pay close attention to you throughout their classes. The members of the gym are friendly, welcoming, and warm. It’s a great community to be a part of and I couldn’t recommend it more!

If you have not tried the Alpine Gym you don't know what you're missing. The owner, Adham, and his staff pay attention to every detail when it comes to the small group training. The gym is clean and everyone is made to feel special the minute you walk in the door. I feel like a new person after my Personal Training sessions with Shea. What are you waiting for? Alpine Gym is the place to be for all your exercise needs

Alpine has been the best decision I’ve made in a long time. I love the small class sizes. It’s a more personal approach to training. Adham, the owner is knowledgeable and explains different workouts thoroughly. The entire staff is very fabulous. The infrared yoga is like no other. They also offer sports performance youth training, personal training, open gym, and access to a registered dietitian. So glad I found the Alpine Community!

My son joined Alpine Gym about 2 months ago and participates in their youth fitness class. His goal was to enhance his speed and agility in relation to his soccer performance. He has worked with coach Zach each week and as a true beginner in anything gym related, my son was welcomed by him with patience and thorough instruction. In fact, coach Zach embodies positivity and truly fosters a supportive atmosphere. The gym overall is a warm space, with well maintained equipment and booking classes is easily done through an app. The owner is easy to reach and involved with parents- you can tell he’s committed to fitness and aligning with the goals of the gyms members!
