Unique, exciting programs, and welcoming to all! I was so impressed by my personal training sessions (in kettlebell proficiency) with Jeff. *Absolutely for anyone* looking to grow and evolve their strength training- no matter your level.I’ve been to manyyyyy many gyms all over the Boston-North Shore, and I can’t recommend enough checking it out and finding your focus!

Friendly staff and not too crowded. Probably the best selection of equipment I've seen in a private or commercial gym when it comes to free weights. Legitimately anything I could think of they had it.

So great to have connected with the nice folks at Rx Strength Training when I was visiting this week in the Boston area. All the right equipment and plenty of it. Lots of weightlifting platforms, full sets of plates in either kg or lbs. Very welcoming atmosphere and it was easy to see that the regulars had excellent gym etiquette - even the \\\"fur members\\\", who seemed very comfortable in this gym. Thanks for hosting me when I needed to drop in. Highly recommend!

Friendly, welcoming staff, a diverse selection of weights, kettlebells, and other implements to get you strong. Commuting from South Boston to Rx, the location in East Somerville makes it easy come and go. Will continue to enjoy my trips to Rx. Thank you!

Lifting gyms can Be intimidating places, especially for a woman. I started coming to Rx strength training to attend acro yoga classes at equilibrium, but decided to take personal training classes because the staff is so friendly. When you first walk in the space you are greeted by a pride/trans flag and a Black Lives Matter flag. Even though I don’t have one of those marginalized identities, it made me feel like it was an inclusive and empathetic space and set a tone of belonging.The gym is non pretentious, It’s not an equinox and doesn’t pretend to be, it’s in a big warehouse what you get instead are staffed gym hours with actual trainers who can answer questions in case you need help with your form. Most of the time I’m there I see the owner giving private lessons or teaching a class.There are several pieces of equipment that other gyms don’t have that have made weightlifting Accessible to me, I greatly appreciate The ssb bar, when I couldnt lean now to lift a low bar, it made squats possible for me. I also love working with my trainer (John). He has been so patient with me and didn’t let me give up when I was struggling to learn to form for deadlifts. He understood how my body structure made it difficult and suggested a wider stance, which was a game changer for me. Only downside is it’s lack of air conditioner, but summer is short.Glad I did the personal training pack and happy to recommend the studio (and equilibrium acrobatics) to others.

This is a top notch facility! It's awesome to have access to an elite training facility and equipment at a good price. The environment is terrific because both the coaches and the members have a very high level knowledge of how to improve fitness. They also almost have every piece of equipment that you could possibly desire and even when it's busy you can easily get your training done. A big focus on power lifting/olympic lifting here, but you can train for any sport here. Motivating environment.

Im wondering if the little olympic weightlifting room with the orange/brownish walls are open for public use or is that a part of the gym normal people cant enter. Because in the video that i saw it doesnt show that room and it only shows the main part of the gym with the grass and the poweracks.

I move regularly and have lifted in dozens of gyms in dozens of cities--Rx Strength is easily top 3. The staff, equipment, atmosphere, training programs, and teams are superb. Staff: knowledgeable, professional, easy-to-reach, responsive. Equipment: stellar, constantly evaluated, regularly updated. I do Olympic and powerlifting and found anything I could want. Atmosphere: I was in the midst of grad school and nobody batted an eye if I need to quick knock out a few pages of reading; everyone was welcoming and generous; and the teammates were great. Programming: individualized, helpful, and made big strides in my form (particularly in Oly). Teams: great fun, great mutual care and support--what more could I want?

I must say it is the best gym in the city. The equipment is in perfect condition, the locker room is spotless and the staff is top-notch.
