I love the privacy that this gym allows you. I feel welcome and I never feel judgement for not being a “gym rat”. The staff is super friendly and the only reason its not a 5 star review is that some of the machines are always a bit finicky. I also feel like the “stretching” area is a bit small. Thankfully there’s always enough room where that’s never an issue but during rush hours I would imagine more space for that would be nice. Overall very satisfied!

This place has good space and a variety of weight machines. I really enjoyed the Zumba, boxing, yoga, and kickboxing classes.

Good variety of equipment, but I tried canceling my membership 2 weeks before my move via phone call, but found out they will not let you cancel without 30 day notice and you have to go in person to cancel. Staff was unexpectedly unfriendly when informing of this policy and stated that it was in the contract I signed when I first joined if I read it. Overall unexpectedly poor experience trying to cancel a $70/mo membership, really costly policy that is not openly advertised. I would not recommend this if you have other options. The monthly fee is $70 and there is a yearly maintenance fee that is much higher. The cancellation policy feels a little deceptive, and having staff be unfriendly/irritated that you did not remember the fine print of the contract makes it all the worse.

Went to tour the club and the guy at the desk was rude so I left. Very sad I live a block away and the gym looks nice online. I was sold before I walked in ?

Best gym on Comm Ave! I have been a member at FitRec and BSC; Beacon Hill Athletics is the best if you're looking for regular gym amenities. Classes are free and make the slightly higher price worth it. Staff is friendly and helpful. Easiest gym to sign-up and cancel at. Would recommend!

Mean and arrogant staff. Website says you can use a guest pass there however the staff did not even let me explain to them the situation and said they didn’t care. Go to literally any other gym for a good experience

Not worth the price. It’s too bear bones and there always machines and equipment lacking from too many people. Decent gym if you’re looking for something close though

Awesome place. Everything you need, good hours.Excellent staff - really great people who know the ins & outs of physical training & can also provide plenty of direction when it comes to diet & living a healthy lifestyle. I always enjoy my trips to the Beacon Hill Athletic Club (BHAC) & its chill atmosphere. Great job guys!!Also, I'd like to give a quick shout out to James, Maura, & Alejandro!! They all rock & are always kind and willing to chat. They always make you feel welcome & special. In my humble opinion, and if I were in charge, I'd do everything in my power to keep these three people happy(I think a pay raise for each of them is an appropriate & very well-deserved first step) as it's not easy to find such great employees. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing everyone at BHAC very soon!!This is a good place with good people. And when it comes to equipment & classes, BHAC is really great. You can box, lift weights, take a Spin class, a strength training class(the classes are included with your membership), or run on the treadmill. And when you're ready to call it a day, BHAC offers complimentary showers & a steam room, which is a nice ending after some good exercise. I've lost about 25-30lbs in the past few months. And the nice thing is they make it easy to exercise.Thank You for your attention, and if you think you're up to it, do yourself a favor & start working out. I promise you will not regret signing up!!

I am not comfortable with the timings. Who closes the gym around 7 pm on weekends? I am not a big fan of their pricing as well no special discounts for the students

This gym isn't ritzy but it's got everything you need. Tons of treadmills, bikes, ellipticals. Almost every machine you could want. Plenty of free weights for everyone. A room where you can work out with a little more privacy, and a yoga/fitness class studio that hosts lots of different kinds of classes. The women's locker room has plenty of lockers and a steam room. The personal trainers are great.I go during off hours so I never have trouble getting what I need to done. I'm new to working out in the gym and was initially hesitant about it all but I feel comfortable here. The only thing that is a problem is the parking on Comm Ave and surrounding neighborhoods but hey, it isn't the gym's fault we live in Boston. Highly recommend this place!

Dirty facilities, unfriendly staff, expensive and poorly ventilated.$70 a month for dirty mirrors, water all over the bathrooms, and visible dirt and dust on the floor of the studio. Always felt sick after leaving because of the poor ventilation, not to mention the roof in the studio is rotting away with water damage. Went in on the last day of the month and was informed of the 30 day cancellation policy--my mistake for thinking I could cancel with one day notice but at that point I could no longer afford the monthly cost and was feeling optimistic. The front desk person LAUGHED IN MY FACE and rudely joked "yeah you're about a month late" to cancel without being charged for the next month. Extremely unprofessional and just weird behavior. No one should be laughed at for wanting to cancel their membership! This interaction made me feel so uncomfortable that I was charged $70 for the month I wanted canceled but I definitely will not be using this gym...will just eat the $70 and learn my lesson! Extra fees: They charge $15 a month to pause your membership. They charge a $25 maintenance fee on your 3rd month which makes that bill ~$95. Not sure where that money goes because the place is filthy and NEEDS maintenance.

People are nice, the gym environment isn't hella "BRO-Y" and the staff are very nice and friendly. The equipment is a bit on the older side and a decent percentage of the machines have some wear-tear.There are plenty of roomy lockers, bring your own lock. There are a couple showers and a steam room. They aren't anything flashy but they are there.The classes are good and loved, zumba, yoga, spin, strength training etc.It is pricy for what you are getting but unlike the larger gyms there are very clear costs and no hidden fees or sneaky charges. I will never go back to the larger gyms for that reason. A friend of my was moving and it took him 2 seconds to end his membership and no fees after that. That clarity is worth every penny.

I have been going to bhac for few years now and it is great not just for workouts but also offers classes for kick boxing, yoga, Zumba, etc which is also included in the membership. The trainers and frontdesk are also really good, down to earth and help guide you with any questions/concerns you might have.
