Was very impressed with the cleanliness without staff having to remind members to keep it sanitary and clean. Everyone seemed to be focused on their own business that anyone male or female or with any body image issues should feel 100% comfortable exercising here.

Started at this gym a few weeks ago. I can not say enough good things about it! The owners are so nice so positive, classes are amazing, so much fun in the classes while driving you to work hard. They make me feel like I want to be better. It has been a great experience so far highly recommend it!

Stay away from their training services. I was not allowed to schedule my second session at the end of my first session because she has had the same clients for many years, and she let them schedule first and then calls you days later with the leftover times. She doesn't schedule appointments anyway the way the rest of businesses do.Go to any other gym. DO NOT GO THERE!

looks like a nice gym - 24 hour access, clean, newer equipment, a couple different rooms for classes. I’m super disappointed because I probably would have gotten a membership here. I just moved to the area only five minutes away. I’m big into working out and had a packed day of buying things needed for my apartment and unpacking but wanted to get in a workout before my day started - so I stopped in hoping to get in a 30 min lift and inquire about a trial to see if this would be my new gym. most gyms offer a day pass or even a week trial but when I asked, I was told people only visiting the area for the weekend do that so they don’t even offer a free day. not sure who would visit Holden Massachusetts as a destination? I guess Wachusett?? I lived in Hawaii for a year and even my gym out there offered a trial.. I was told it’s $20 for a day pass but it would be deducted if I bought a membership. I understand paying for a day pass if you’re bringing a guest. But I just wanted to try it out and feel for it after most of my previous gyms being YMCA, PF, Anytime. Honestly it was the interaction and the principle of it all that made me not want to join there. And I’ve been to a lot of gyms (living in MA, FL, HI) and never run into this. I feel super unwelcome being new to the area and big into the fitness community. I’ll just be going back to anytime fitness even though it’s like 20 minutes away.

eXcel Fitness has brought out the best in me. The trainers challenge me to be my best self & push me out of my comfort zone. Each of us is here for different reasons, and I can honestly say- I am my best self at 50! So many different options for classes & I feel welcome in any and all of them. No judgement, encouragement from other members & a positive environment... every day! You never have to wonder what the vibe will be here! And if you're lucky enough- they'll have donuts at the desk! Why would anyone go anywhere else!??

Best gym around ! It's the first gym that I've gone to 5 days in a row and I'm 64! I've been a gym member of various gyms in the area since I was in my early 20's. Love the workouts, fun atmosphere and challenging workouts ! We are like a big family here, they look out for our safety and correct as needed ...highly motivated trainers that are always here to help us achieve our goals, whether they are big or small ! They show their appreciation to us by keeping our gym spotless and always investing in new equipment as needed ! I highly recommend that you take the time to get to know the owners, members and gym community as a whole !

My wife and I have been members since last summer and wish we had joined sooner! While it may be a bit smaller than some other gyms, they’ve got the right equipment, it’s never felt overcrowded, and the staff is wonderful. We also like that we’re supporting a great local business.

This gym is extremely small, they have the most out of wack policy’s, and not to mention how over priced it is. I would stick with planet fitness

I can’t say enough good things about this gym! ... I have met some of the best people in my life at eXcel. When you join, you are embraced by members and staff like part of the family. Classes are 7 days a week and include strength, HIIT, spin, Pilates, barre, yoga, and Zumba. If you aren’t into classes, there is a large variety of weights, machines, and cardio equipment too. Staff cleans multiple times a day ... When you join a brand-name gym, you are treated like a number. When you join a family-run gym, you are treated like a family member! That is why I love eXcel and recommend it to everyone!

EXcel Fitness is the best gym out there. The instructors care and every class is well thought out for every person's ability levels. The people who belong are welcoming to new members and always are there for support.Perhaps not as well known is that there are instructors who are certified nutritionists. This well rounded gym has both gym classes and nutrition support for anyone. I have been working one on one with Ashley on weekly nutrition plans. She is full of energy and takes the time to customize the plan with what I like to eat to create a well balanced plan that works for me. I know Carley is doing the same for others! I almost gave into the talk about not being able to lose weight after hitting a 'certain age.' So untrue - so far down 22 pounds. I would not have this success without both the exercise classes combined with a fabulous nutrition plan. eXcel can make anyone successful in a fun and welcoming environment.

This is not you average gym! This gym provides amazing value for what you get. What truly sets this gym apart from the others is the group training. The staff of personal trainers are amazing and provide the support that one needs to be successful in there goals. What became obvious quickly that the tone of the gym, family atmosphere, starts from the top (local OWNERSHIP)! The owners are there and accessible most of the time. They get to know the members, goals, individual needs and that information cascades to the trainers. I LOVE THIS GYM and look forward to participating in the variety of classes they offer. Thanks again - Brian C

Love this facility. It is extremely clean. Staff and members are so warm and friendly. There are plenty of different classes to fit your needs and if classes aren’t your thing, there is plenty of other equipment to choose from. Membership cost is very reasonable. So glad I joined and you will be too!

When you join eXcel fitness you not only join a gym but you join a family! Joining the gym two years ago completely out of shape and lacking in exercise, the message I received was, “You do you!” The entire staff and members support each other in an encouraging atmosphere where you are continually pushed to achieve your goals! The trainers are all OUTSTANDING! The variety of classes, the times they are offered, and the opportunities for nutrition support is perfect for any schedule. Cleanliness and COVID compliance is spot on!

A friend who was already a member encouraged me to check out eXcel Fitness.I’m so glad I did because from the very first class I loved this Gym. What is it about eXcel that makes it different from other gyms? I can tell you. It’s not just another place to use equipment and workout, it’s a community. A non-competitive, non-judge mental, supportive community of members and professionals that will help you fight to get where you want to be. For me, going to gym classes is not a chore, it’s something I look forward to.
