Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Franklin, Massachusetts

Today my wife found a man lying on the floor in the women’s bathroom stall spying. The guy was allowed to stay and workout after being reported. But they are sure to keep gym bags off the floor.

We were visiting from out of town and were able to use the Planet Fitness in Franklin with our membership. The staff was very friendly (Taylor, Emily and Justin) always a greeting and smile when we came in. The gym is well maintained, clean and no broken machines. Plenty of cardio. Love the bikes with virtual screens. Rooms to do floor work. We highly recommend this gym.

So far, so good. Clean gym, polite staff, plenty of machines and free weights to construct your work out. Clients are a good mix and adhere to the no judgment ideology; who wants to be stared at when we already might be self conscious. I just wish people would stay off the machines if they're going to text and take selfies. It holds others up. Overall a good gym 👍🏻.

Staff is always nice, and seem like decent well-trained people especially since the new manager took over last year. It's always fairly clean despite the volume of people. It's never totally dead in there, which is a good thing so that the club will remain open. Close to my house. could use a few more stationary bikes but hey a guy can dream... nice people, it's my gym, i like em. tbh: worst part of my home gym is that town of Franklin keeps doing construction on Grove and adjacent streets. enough already franklin LOL

I love this gym staff always friendly, my only complaint is the women’s locker room the showers are never cleaned properly I’ve been looking at dirty bandaids and gum x 2 weeks one of the stalls has no shower curtain and has been this way for a month! Otherwise no complaints.

I sent an Email to the NRG LAB in september 24 in 2024. Asking to cancel my membership, after a few weeks I went physically into the gym to ask them to cancel it, One of the people from the front desk told me that my Email went to junk but they would look into it. December i call them again asking to cancel my membership, And nothing. It’s January already and my membership that i asked to cancel months ago, is still not cancelled and they don’t want to refund my money that i have paid since I asked them to cancel, which is the total of $243. And apparently I haven’t told them 30 Days before I wanted to cancel.

Equipment is alright, something seems to be constantly broken though. Part that is absolutely terrible is the billing. My friends and I have all had nothing but terrible experiences when we go to college and try to cancel our memberships. They send you for a loop, you call to cancel, they say you have to come in to cancel, you go in to cancel, they tell you none of the billing is done there and you have to email to cancel, then they drag their feet over email so you are paying for multiple more months than you want to, then they say you can only cancel TWO MONTHS in advance. Do not join this gym unless you want to be paying for it for months more than you actually go to it.

UPDATE - Per the responder's recommendation below, I have tried getting in touch with this vendor via several calls and emails for the past two weeks. After giving my information multiple times to multiple people to try and get a manager to respond, I have not heard anything. To clarify my issue, isn't that I have to send in a written form of cancellation. Clearly, I was well over the 30 day mark when I tried to cancel my membership. My frustration is the customer experience; telling someone one thing and then having another thing happen is frustrating, and because of that, I was charged for a whole year of gym membership I won't be able to use because I'm moving out of state. Having no flexibility, taking no accountability, and shifting the blame to me for not following the "easy steps" is not how you run a business (even a small one). If the person at the front desk had reminded me that I needed to send in an email, I would have gladly done that. Because I was given the wrong information and told the issue was all set, this happened. Not because I forgot to cancel my membership or because I cannot write an email. The amount of time I've spent on this review alone is double the effort that it would have taken me to send the stupid cancellation email! On top of that, telling me that I'm being unreasonable when I'm sharing what my experience has been is out of line. I gave a fair account of what has happened so far and what my experience has been. This whole interaction shows the lack of integrity that this business has, especially given that I'm still technically a paying "customer" and they refuse to get back to me. ------------------------------- First, let's start with the good: the gym is well stocked and has a lot of equipment. That's about it. The gym itself is very OK - the inside smells kind of damp and like there is a low grade mold problem. My biggest issue with this gym is the customer experience - specifically around billing. The cancellation policy is unnecessarily rigid. My membership was set to auto-renew in August 2024. I spoke with someone at the front desk in APRIL to cancel my membership. They clicked a few things on their screen - told me they turned off auto-renew and said I was all set, I never got a confirmation email or anything. Then in August, when my membership auto-renewed, I called to say I had already canceled and spoke to someone at the front desk in person. They said they didn't have any proof that I canceled my membership, and that they did not offer refunds at all (for any reason). They did offer to change the membership if I found someone to "buy out" my contract. Looking through the other reviews, it's clear that people have had similar issues, and it makes me wonder if this kind of "error" happens frequently to make the gym more money. Honestly, you're better off going to Planet Fitness or another smaller local gym where you'll either get a self service way to cancel online or can speak to the owner directly about canceling.

Since I’ve been a member here, I’ve introduced 3 friends to this gym. The first two friends filled out a free one day pass upon entering for their first visits. I’ve also paid for several friends to have day passes which were $20 each. However, my third friend did not receive this same courtesy upon his first visit here. So I paid $30 for him to have access for an hour to workout with me instead of arguing with the desk. The desk explained that the price went up from $20 to $30 and the free pass is now appointment based only. I’m unhappy with these changes that I was unaware of, how the situation was handled, and the overpriced day pass.

Their customer service is TERRIBLE not sure if she is an account manager or what but Sharon is nothing but rude and an unpleasant person to have to deal with. Sad I have spent so much of my money here…. happy to say I will never be going back

I can wholeheartedly recommend this gym. I’ve tried it all- big commercial gyms, boutique studios, virtual home workouts, etc. I’m typically a runner but wanted to change things up and strength train. I absolutely love how I can walk into Wicked Fitness and get a new, challenging whole body workout in less than 40 minutes. My upper body strength is probably the best it’s ever been from these workouts. You can customize the workout based on your comfort level- either with lighter or heavier weights. If you’re interested in classes and fitness challenges they’ve got those, too! The coaches are amazing- relatable, helpful, and become like family. I leave every workout with tired muscles, a happy heart, and endorphins flowing. Love you Wicked Fitness!

I joined Wicked Fitness about a month ago and as soon as I walked in I knew it was the place for me. Not only are the coaches wonderful and extremely helpful but the entire environment is welcoming. I leave after every class feeling happy I went, regardless of how hard it was. Every member is wanting to build each other up and support one another. It truly is special. I cannot recommend it enough.

I joined Wicked at the beginning of August and have loved every workout. It is only a 37 minute workout and it flies by. There are no set class times, you go when you can. There are various stations where you spend 2 minutes alternating various exercises (cardio, kickboxing, weights, abs etc). All of the coaches are so wonderful and welcoming. It is a great community. Don't worry if you are not in shape, anyone can do this workout. It is also more affordable than many other gyms in the area. What are you waiting for? Sign up for a trial class today!

I’m so happy that I found this gem of a gym!! I love that the workouts are mapped out for me, no guess work, and there is always a coach to guide me and make sure I’m doing the exercises correctly and safely. I have arthritis in my feet, and the coaches are always there to offer accommodations for me! I also love the flexibility of the class times! Great plans great people!!

One of the biggest challenges for me is keeping up my motivation. I’ve been a member here for 11 months now and am more motivated than ever. The coaches are wonderful, gym go-ers are so friendly, and it’s a really welcoming atmosphere. The work outs change every day so I’m never bored. Plus the classes are fun and challenging! Highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking to have fun and get a good work out.
