Okay, giving 3 stars because the classes have made it/ruined it for me. I go to backbay and the location is great- never crowded. But, and a huge BUT, is a few of the classes are truly awful. I don’t think some of their instructors (like Claudia) are certified. It’s absolutely no hate on them whatsoever, but the way they teach their classes are really bad, not targeted, lack direction, and you can tell they aren’t certified. It’s really frustrating to be in a class that I have taken time out of my day for and paid for, and not get a good workout in because the instructor isn’t equipped to teach. The classes are like for toddlers- Claudia’s barre and Pilates class are the worst I have ever taken, I avoid them now. I started to take a few classes at equinox and it’s embarrassing how much better the classes are at Equinox (for basic classes, this shouldn’t be a thing). On the flip side, other instructors are absolutely amazing!Second, signing up for classes is a joke. I finally got into a cycle class and drove 30 minutes to get there only to be turned away because they didn’t have enough bikes. They’re letting girls into the class who aren’t registering and aren’t checking. It’s so hard to get into classes so this frustrated me. I decided to sign up for every class every day now so this doesn’t happen and I drop 1 hour before.Lastly, the back bay gym heater is broken. And the steam room is moldy and smells horrid. I’m hoping they credit everyone’s accounts because simply put, what we are paying for is absolutely not what we are getting. At minimum, check certifications on instructors and fire/replace them.Overall, based on a small handful of instructors and some amenities, it’s a great gym and I enjoy going! But it’s definitely not worth what they charge.

Love Healthworks! I go to Back Bay and it is so big! I never feel crowded. There are so many good group fitness classes. The steam room is where I end my day at least once a week, it is luxurious.

The ambiance, equipment and trainers are amazing. I love this place and I don’t typically like gyms. It’s a safe and clean space for women to exercise.

Honestly, this is the best gym ever!!! They have all the equipment you would want whether you are more into weightlifting with barbells or prefer cardio machines or group fitness classes. It's always so clean; I feel like it's spacious enough where you aren't waiting forever or even that long for a machine or equipment on a busy day. I started coming here because of the perk through work and coworkers of mine who were members who moved out of state said that one of the top 5 things they miss the most about Boston is this gym.... it's pretty great.

Healthworks has been my favorite gym for the past 4 years. The back bay location is clean, nice and very spa like. Would’ve been a 5 stars if it wasn’t for the parking

The BEST gym. So beautiful and clean. Love the little details such as hair straighteners and a clothes steamer. The hot tub and Theraguns are incredible. Overall an extremely positive, female- empowering vibe.

Healthworks is a great fitness club!! It has everything!! Cardio machines, weight machines, classes - cardio, strength training, yoga, personal and group training, and more!!! After a workout, you can schedule a massage. The massage is not included in the monthly membership fee, but you can buy massage packages. This fitness club is in a great location! It's a 1-2 min walk from the Back Bay station on the MBTA Orange Line. Get a tour of the club and you'll want to join too!

I can’t say enough positive things about this gym. staff are extremely friendly, amenities are clean, they have all the equipment I could ever want, and plenty of it! 5 Olympic lifting platforms, a turf, multiple different rooms to exercise in. Plus their classes are fun, motivational, and always positive. Highly highly recommend this place!

Healthworks is the first gym I’ve ever looked forward to going to! The facilities are amazing and the classes are even better. I religiously did their cycling, body pump, and Pilates classes. The real highlight for me was the personal training I did with Kati once a week for about 6 months. I can not emphasize enough how amazing she was! My workout each week was progressive and tailored to me and my fitness goals. Kati was super knowledgeable and friendly. She always made sure my form was correct and emphasized the mind muscle connection. I saw noticeable differences in the way my body felt and looked after only a month with Kati. I looked forward to my workouts with her each week and was heartbroken when I moved to NYC and could no longer train with her.

By far my favorite gym that I have ever joined. The staff are really welcoming and helpful. The locker rooms and amenities (steam room, jacuzzi, and sauna) are top notch and unmatched for the price of membership. They have woodway treadmills and top notch training equipment - more than any other gym I've been to. I only left because I moved to another state - but I put in a request to Healthworks to open a location to my new city because I love it so much.I worked with Personal Trainer Kati and she helped me develop confidence in the gym and reach my fitness goals. By the time I left healthworks I had a solid gym routine that I felt much more comfortable using equipment safely. One of Kati's biggest strengths is her organizational skills - she sent my routine to me virtually with everything broken down by week.One last comment: a few reviews mention difficulty canceling membership. I did not experience any issues with them not allowing me to cancel and they have not charged my card since. Just call and have them walk you through the process and try to call one month out from the date you want to cancel to give them good notice and prevent any extra charges.

I love this gym so much - I tell everyone I know! It’s impressively clean, welcoming, fun, and has group classes that are the best quality I’ve found in Boston. I used ClassPass to try out just about every studio I could and ended up joining HW because they had the best classes BY FAR. I am excited to go to the gym every day, which has never been the case for me. Love it so much, could not recommend more
