Fitcorp

Got a 2 month groupon to try out FitCorp. This place rocks!
Great selection of equipment, super friendly staff, and good location in Prudential. Also, one of the lower gym prices in back bay.

Can someone please explain to me how there are always treadmills and ellipticals available here? I’m not complaining, don’t get me wrong, but I’m simply not used to waltzing into a gym and finding free equipment. It makes me nervous. I feel like it’s some sort of trick, like I’ll jump on one of the dozen or so treadmills only to find that it’s not a treadmill, it’s a Portkey to the Shrieking Shack.
This Fitcorp has above-​average, updated equipment. Nothing crazy but a good selection of machines, weights, mats … and the most important of all, many TVs. There is also plenty of room to move about, unlike my last gym, at which you had to fight off juiceheads with a barbell just to get 10 minutes of halfhearted sit-​ups in.
The classes at this Fitcorp are also great: yoga, group power, zumba, cardio kickboxing, spinning, boot camp (which, did you know, Dick Cheney considers torture …) The classes are crowded but never overly so, and the instructors are fantastic. Zumba with Laura is one of the best workouts I’ve gotten in a while. She’s very bouncy and enthusiastic and her class almost (almost!) makes working out fun.
The ladeez’ locker room is big and clean with good blow dryers (a Christmas miracle!) and plenty of showers. And the Fitcorp staff is friendly and not at all intimidating, especially the front desk. Even the other members are nice; unexpected, for the girl who shows up at the gym wearing a Saves the Day tee shirt with holes in the armpits.
Just you wait, Unilocalworld. In a year’s time, I will be so jacked …

Holy available treadmills Batman!
I’ve been a Fitcorp member for about 3 years now. Working in the Longwood area I mostly frequent that one but I’m a firm Prudential center goer as well. Clean, friendly, clean, available machines, clean… we have a pattern. Ahh the sparkling notably non-​icky locker rooms. Except for the occasional all nude all the time lady (I don’t judge, you own it honey) the locker room is steller as far as locker rooms go.
Onto the floor… the prudential center location has cable. Yes, that is top on my list. They also have wonderful staff. I’ve been loaned an extra hairtie, headphones, socks (all in new packaging and gratis of charge) when in dire need. And here’s the weird part… there has almost always been an open treadmill or eliptical. On Satuday’s it is virtually empty. Stop by the grocery store on the way home to make a healty lunch, or shop at the Pru! I love my gym and my gym loves me!

So I joined FitCorp about a year ago and I have to say I was very weary to join a gym at all. I hate working out but I knew it was time to do something about my weight which was getting out of hand. So the typical fears I had of the gym have been totally obliterated by MY gym. I still hate working out most days (I don’t think I’m ever going to really enjoy it) but at least there are a few things I look forward to. I look forward to seeing the staff — they are always very nice but don’t come across fake — very very important. When you sign up you get two free training sessions — I still talk with the trainer who helped me and she doesn’t make me feel bad for not having enough money to pay for personal training. I take Group Power (weight training to great music) and actually enjoy that class. I don’t have to wait to get on a machine, it’s always very clean and I feel like there are only a few ridiculous women (you know the ones who get all dolled up and «run» on the treadmill at 4.0 and try to look sexy). Great equipment, great staff, great classes!

I was a little nrvs to leave my Prudential Fitcorp behind for it’s distant cousin, the Summer Street Fitcorp, but alas, such is life when you change jobs.
It’s good to see that all Fitcorps are apparently created equal. And equality is good when the original product is outstanding. It’s a clean, not-​too-​crazy but definitely not-​too-​humble gym with more than adequate space and machines and lots of fun classes to choose from. The staff is friendly and helpful and they work with many employers to have generous discounts; you’d be surprised who is on the list! It could be you if you work in the neighborhood, so definitely ask.
I couldn’t be happier with Fitcorp — definitely the best gym chain I’ve ever been a part of and I’d happily recommend it to anyone.

I fought joining a gym in Boston for over a year. But I couldn’t motivate my arse to go to my gym near my house, so I broke down and joined Fitcorp right across from my office. Couldn’t be happier. The staff is super friendly. It’s almost weird. :-) I go after work and it is not crowded. I have never had to wait for a machine. The women’s locker room is big and clean. The membership lets you use any of their other locations without paying an additional fee. Same thing goes for towels. No charge. What a novel concept unlike some other gyms.

Every time I leave this place: I become much more handsome; I speak better English; I am more efficient; I am able to multi-​task my multi-​tasks; I have more hair; I have more muscles; I have a leaner body; I am able to jump tall buildings in a single bound; my skin looks better; my clothes look more expensive; people smile at me and give me things; and my wife is nicer to me. *wink, wink*
Oh, yea — there’s never a wait for equipment, everything is clean [from locker room to treadmills], and the staff is ridiculously helpful to the point where I actually think they want to make me a healthier Brian B.

Ok I’ll start by saying this place costs a little more than I would like to spend on a gym. But who cares? You spend god knows how much on that new sick metal band t-​shirt, don’t you? So instead maybe you should drop that $$$ on a gym and instead head down to goodwill, grab a couple less metal t-​shirts like corn flakes promotional gear and tell people you going for the retro look.
The staff here are very cool. All about my age and have time to talk or help if you need it… I’m the type who usually keeps my head down and the music up, but still managed to make make friends with the cool staff members. They have taught me a lot of excercises which are tailored for my goals — excellent.
Like the other fitcorp reviews, this place is in great shape. Mostly young folk and plenty of equipment. Check it out if it’s nearby, they run promotions every couple months for new members.
Edit: BTW the music here BLOWS. I doubt its much better at other gyms but it sucks so royally that I’ve found a new way to get changed without taking off headphones.
