“This gym is the best thing that ever happened to me. After 65 years of never moving I have a program designed to challenge me and I leave happy and wanting to get back. The folks are super friendly and fun to be with. Enough privacy lots of individual instruction and I am really fit! It is worth every penny, and I ain’t rich!!”

“My fiance and I have dropped into a crossfit gym basically every time we've traveled. I can confidently say crossfit ironspider is perhaps the best gym we've been to. I went when I was visiting my friend 6 months ago and we both went twice this past weekend. The programming is awesome, the coaches superb (especially Dr. Dion who is incredibly knowledgeable of all things exercise science, in fact he teaches exercise science), the community welcoming (my jump rope came undone in the middle of a wod, coach ran to get me a new one but one of the athletes let me share hers during the workout), and the gym is spacious. If we lived in the area we would be members in a heartbeat. Will need to settle with coming every time we're in the area.”

“I’ve been working out at Marblehead Fitness for years. The trainers are excellent and have worked with me as I’ve recovered from injuries and helped me modify my workouts. Luke, the owner is the best! Always a smile on his face. Jenny Frontero’s classes will kick your butt but you’ll feel great after! Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I wouldn’t want to work out anywhere else!”

“Love this little barre studio! It’s absolutely adorable. They use pink Bala bands and accessories— too cute. Classes are challenging, community is excellent, and instructors are top notch. I left class with Stef feeling challenged and accomplished! Can’t wait to go back on the days I’m in the North Shore!”

“Great local gym. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, the equipment is well maintained, and like any gym it has its busy times; however it has plenty of space and equipment so you don't feel crowded. It has a couple different plans to choose from and has options for everyone. Would recommend!”

“White Wolf is the best! I joined in August and am so happy I did. The group strength classes are challenging but manageable and the trainers are always there to provide feedback and corrections. Joe, the owner, is almost always around and the trainers he hires are knowledgable, supportive, and friendly. I started weight lifting at home with some dumbbells during the pandemic and was a little nervous about joining a 'real' gym but I didn't need to be - I really appreciated how welcoming everyone was and how it really feels like a community, even when you're brand new. I also worked with one of the trainers, Theresa, specifically on nutrition. She rocks as well!”

“I have been a member for over 10 years. I never plan on leaving. The work outs here are programmed to give you a thorough & varied workout, both cardiovascular & strength. You have a built in personal trainer that will help you modify every workout specific to your needs & ability. The space is open & beautiful with plenty of parking. But THE best part is the community. The people are from all walks of life, have vastly different athletic abilities but their common attribute is their supportiveness, positivity, & inclusiveness. It is a fun & happy place to work out. There are community events & challenges & get togethers outside the gym. It is more of a health focused community than a gym. I can not recommend it enough.”

“I loved this place for a great workout in Marblehead! I got two great pilates sessions with Alex and she taught me some great techniques and new ways on the reformer machines! I also got a Great spinning workout with Beth and she adds an upper body workout at the end if you have time! Such a great workout. We used the TRX bands for an extra stretch and 'burn' for more of a workout. They are super friendly and helpful, the equipment is very current and space is bright and clean! It is conveniently located right downtown, too!”

“This Planet Fitness provides a clean and functional workout environment, highlighting a commitment to hygiene and member well-being. The facility's layout ensures efficiency for a seamless workout experience. The majority of the staff at Planet Fitness is friendly, contributing to a positive atmosphere. However, an area for improvement is the occasional odor issue in the bathroom. Addressing restroom hygiene would further elevate the overall experience, aligning with Planet Fitness's dedication to providing an optimal workout environment. Despite this, Planet Fitness remains a top choice for fitness enthusiasts, offering a welcoming space to pursue health and wellness goals.”

“My son had a fabulous time on his first day as if he had been a part of the classroom for awhile already. The teachers for his class are miss Megan and missShelby. I couldnt be more happy with their communication through out the first day. Our son is 4.5 and loves being active and they sure kept him busy. He was upset leaving ...but only because he had a blast, which is always a good sign to me as a mom and previous child care provider. I am also pretty over protective with who I leave my kids with. This would be the third ymca that we have been a part of for preschool and prek. But the first for our son. By Far Amesbury ELC is the cleanest, welcoming and really put their thought into building a great place for kids and families to feel safe and welcome alwaysthank you to everybody!”

The welcome desk staff are very friendly & pass on a feeling of belonging.

“Came as a guest with a friend. Since it was directly after work, there was only one other person there. It moderately smelt like sweat but was pretty clean and organized otherwise. There were smith machines as well as free weights available for use. An area for functional training and even a smaller private room was also open. Can't wait to come again!”
