Blast Fitness Mashpee

I had the worst time trying to get out of my membership with blast fitness. We were told we had to go in, sign papers and then mail them to some company. While that was obnoxious enough we did it and still got charged for months afterwards that we didn’t even use the gym for. Finally we called and after much hassle they let us cancel but we’ll never get the money back they basically stole for 6 months.

Awful gym. Dirty. Weird staff. Machines always broken. Cancelling your membership is a process. So many people always packed no matter what time of day you go. Don’t waste your time.

The fact I have to give them one star to write this is ridiculous…
So let’s list off all the negatives
–no one knows gym etiquette
*can’t re-​rack weights properly
*people always take your machine when you grab water at the bubble even if your jacket/​keys are on the machine
*machines stay filthy, no one wipes them down after use
–Management sucks
*likes to make special exceptions to few (not even staff).
–Their private studio room is only for classes which are platinum members only, when classes are not in progress the room remains locked even though in the past you could use the room after hours. People have been allowed to use it for posing even though it’s against their rules. I’ve even specifically asked to have the room open for doing my ab routine (which I was told no)
–me and my group of friends have done deadlifts in the floor, which anyone who knows how to lift knows they aren’t that quiet. We were told that we would have to do deadlifts when the classes were not in session due to it interrupting their workout. On the flip side these classes are allowed to have the door wide open, screaming «woot woot!» Loud enough to be heard even with headphones on blast. We brought this to the managers attention and he was too socially awkward to resolve the situation saying it is what it is and he couldn’t do anything about it.
–I brought this to the assistant managers attention trying to request that the doors be shut because I was blowing my eardrums out trying to block the «woot woot!!» Out with loud music. I also explain the deadlift situation and how it’s very one way and she began to explain that the room was too crowded so the doors must be open (which makes no sense considering it does not give the class anymore room). She then proceeded to lecture me on how to properly deadlift, even though she isn’t a trainer!!!
This place gets two thumbs down, nothing is maintained well (i.e. Dust under benches, machines never oiled, barbells that have been around before it was blast and before wow, machines always broken and take months/​years to fix). This establishment only cares about numbers, not the people that are their, more people is better for their business. Staff is not knowledgable, minus their personal training team «thryfe fitness solutions»

I was thinking about getting a personal trainer but after seeing this comment about Thryve Fittness from a friend I wanted to share as well. This is crazy and dishonest. I can’t believe a company would be this low and do something like this. Be careful they will say anything to make you sign a contract, even lie to you and say it’s refundable.

I had originally written a review about Blast because I had a problem with Thryve. Since then Thryve has resolved the issue.
Blast is still a bad gym. This place has potential to be a great place to work out but the customer service, machines, appearance, all need work. The layout needs work too. Its kind of dark in there which is weird. The owner needs to do something about this place. If there was a Planet Fitness in this area they would take all of Blast’s business.

Awful. Weird employees. Broken equipment.

Promised 24 training sessions when I paid and didn’t get one. Now hands have changed and can’t get a refund. The trainers said it was blast fitness responsibility and blast said it’s the new trainers responsibility. The new trainers want another $ 500. Do not trust them.

A dirty poorly run facility. Many machines out of order or not working properly. Owners do not care and refuse to fix problems, yet they continue to sell memberships, it is already overcrowded. Look elsewhere
