Really enjoyed the small group personal training classes, a very friendly environment that is great for both beginners and advanced levels. Staff is great and will definitely go back!

My biggest regret with DWF is not joining sooner!!!! If you've been waiting for a sign to join, let this review be it. Sara, Tanner, Josh, and Joe have built an incredible space, and whether you are just starting or looking to get stronger, this place is it.They offer small group classes (6 people max) and 1:1 personal training, and you can't go wrong with either.Small group is an incredibly fun time. You get to train with other badass people who are fun, kind, and encouraging; coaches are always checking that everyone is performing the exercises safely with proper form; and most importantly, the workouts are HARD and they will push you (in the best way).Prior to DWF, I trained mostly on my own, but coming here allowed me to take it up a notch, and I've since developed confidence and strength I didn't know I could have. 5 stars all around for DWF!

As someone who had never set foot in a gym before, this was an awesome place to get started and continue to train. Top notch team and a great community

I spent a summer training with Dirty Water Fitness while I was in Boston. It's awesome! Josh and his crew are very welcoming and knowledgable, and the small group classes (typically with ~ 4 people) are a nice size -- you get good company, but don't get lost in a crowd. The workouts are well structured and thought out. Facility is brand new with top of the line Elko plates etc, and a cool 'Perch' system that tracks data about your lifts. Highly recommended!

I am a huge fan of Dirty Water Fitness. I usually work with Joe or Sara, but have had classes/sessions with Josh and Tanner. And 100% without a doubt I'd be happy to be trained by any of them. The other clients I've met are also all friendly. Plus occasionally Coach Achilles will be there, and he always brightens my day!I highly recommend the group classes if you aren't looking for a specific workout regime, but if you are then the personal sessions are phenomenal.

I’ve loved working out at Dirty Water Fitness over the last year. I trained here before, during, and after my pregnancy and felt safe the entire time thanks to their amazing trainers. They’re serious about fitness with a fun, laid back environment. Great gym!

I regularly attend for small group training and in the past have used the personal training services at DWF and in both settings I'm challenged by the trainers and motivated by them! The entire team is very smart and so good at what they do. I learn something new every time I'm there! I highly recommend this fitness center.

I met Joe and Sarah in the pre-Dirty Water Fitness days. I was drawn in by their caring spirit and the willingness to overcome obstacles during the pandemic to assure my goals continued to be met. I worked with Joe, with a goal of general health and strength. And then we began lifting weights, and wow was I hooked! I remember when deadlifting 125 seemed impossible, and with Joe I achieved a PR of 320# post the pandemic forced break. Dirty Water Fitness is a community of caring trainers and great clients in a comfortable, inclusive environment, with no intimidation or judgement (I am 56 yr old). And, when I moved from Cambridge, Joe made the effort to assure I found a new trainer in my new city, by personally making the contact and establishing the connection. That is caring beyond the usual in today's world. I wish Dirty Water Fitness the best of the best with their expansion. Definitely a gem for the Cambridge fitness scene.

I love training at Dirty Water Fitness. I’ve been working with Sara for almost a year now, focused mostly on power lifting and building my strength. She’s been great at helping me work towards my goals, and also adapt our workouts when some of my health issues flared up.The trainers and other clients keep it a welcoming and friendly place to be. As a trans woman I was really wary to go to any gym but at Dirty Water Fitness I’m perfectly comfortable being myself.

I’ve been working with Tanner once a week for a few months now. Even though I only go once a week, there has been a noticeable improvement in my strength and physical appearance (my husband and friends have also noticed). And the atmosphere at DWF is friendly and easygoing, which makes the training part more fun, too.

I have been a member of Dirty Water Fitness for over a year now and I am beyond impressed with my experience! The facilities are top-notch, the equipment is always well-maintained, and the personal trainers are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I have been working with Sara and she is wonderful in knowing my limits and when to push. I always leave feeling energized and accomplished. I highly recommend Dirty Water Fitness to anyone looking for a top-notch gym experience.

I trained with Joe Adelman briefly at another gym back in 2019 but then changed jobs and the gym wasn't nearby so had to stop going. At the start of the pandemic Joe reached back out to me and asked if I was interested in remote training. He's been developing my training program ever since (and it continues to be remote since I've moved out of the state). Short story is that it's been awesome and I'm so happy he reached out!At the start of training I was recovering from a lingering foot injury. Joe was great at coming up with exercises to work my legs without making my foot any worse. Eventually my foot got better and gyms opened back up so we moved from bodyweight exercises into weight training. The whole way through Joe's been great about giving feedback when I send him videos of my lifts and adjusting workouts based on my schedule. Since I started training with him I've put on easily 20lb of muscle and am the strongest I've ever been! I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get fit. If you put in the work, he'll make sure you're doing the right things so that you get results.
